Poorly Fed Hens

shortest time possible. A good way is
to confine in coops like the one shown
in cut. The open part may be made
of lath or wire netting. Keep pen dark
except when fowls are eating. Throw
thick covering, old carpet or quilts,
over exposed part and the pen will be
so dark that birds will move about
very little between meals. In the
morning if fed boiled potatoes, crushed
while hot and thickened with corn
meal, and a little salt and pepper for
seasoning, chickens will fatten very
fast They should be fed three times
a day, and their bill-of-fare varied as
much as possible. Pumpkins or
squash may take place of boiled pota-
toes occasionally. Fresh bedding
should be supplied frequently, and the
coop and spot it occupies kept clean.

Water and Life.

OF all the conditions preparatory to
life. the presence of water, composed
of oxygen and hydrogen, is at once the
most essential and the moe. world
wide. For If water be present. the
presence of other necessary elements
is probably assured. If water exist,
that fact goes bail for the necessary
temperature, the gamut of life being
co-extensive with the existence of wa
ter as such. 1t is so consequentially,
declares Prof. Lowell's THE Evolution
of Life" in the Century, life being i'm
possible without water. Whatever the
planet, this is of necessity true. But
the absolute degrees of temperature
within which life can exist vary ac-
cording to the mass of the body, an
other Of the ways In which mere size
tells. On the earth 212 degrees F.
limits the range at the top, and 80 de-
grees f. at the bottom In the case of
fresh water, ~ degrees f. in the case
of salt. On a smaller planet both
limits would be lowered, the top one
the most. On Mars the boiling point
would probably be about ITO degrees
F. Secondly, from the general initial
oneness of their constituents, planet
that still possesses water will probably
retain the other substances that are
essential to life; gases, for the reason
that water vapor is next to hydrogen
and helium the lightest of them all;
and solids because their weight would
still more conduce to keep them there.
Water, indeed, acts as a solution to
the whole problem.

MAKING A BRooDER.
Simplify Care of Little Chicks by Con-
structing One.

Some people try to have lot of
hens hatch about the same time as
their incubator, then give the chicks
to the hens. But have found by ex-
perience that is a mistake, writes a
poultry keeper in Farmers Mail and
Breeze. The hen will take them out
and drag them around in the dew, and
if it happens to rain she will sit right
down where she happens to be and
lose from three to half dozen, or per-
haps all the flock; while If the chicks
had a brooder they would run into 1t
and be safe.
make my own brooders. They
work all right out of doors and l never
yet have lost a chick with them. l
take a piece of sheetiron 20 inches
wide and 2 feet long. Then two pieces
of l by s feet long, and In each
board make two holes IS inches apart.
Run gas pipe through these for the
sheetiron to rest on, and fasten the
boards feet apart. Make rack out
of lath to sit on top of iron and cover
with thick brown paper.
Use two pieces of l by 10 2 feet 6
inches long from which to make COW
err; fasten on top of first boards with
hinges and hooks so they can be
turned back to clean out brooder.
Outside the brooder make a board
floor level with the sheetiron floor for
s inches, then slant to ground so as
to make a run for the chicks to go
in and out Set the brooder lamp un-
der the sheetiron and place the lath
rack and thick paper over the iron.
The chicks will never get too hot I'M
less the lamp explodes, which has
never happened yet for me. The cost
of this brooder is about $3.50, lamp
and all.

scRATcHINGs.

Is 1t the business hen this year, or
only boarder?
The farmer who raises poultry can
always obtain ready money.
A chick that is continually chilled
seldom amounts to much, because vi
tally is used up to resist and over
come abuse.
1t is not good plan to feed grown
up fowls too much soft food, as 1t
tends to make them dyspeptic.
In estimating the cost of keepine
poultry it is best to allow one bushel
of grain a year to each laying hen.
With hens it is much better to keen
the appetite sharp compelling them
to be active and search for food.
Pick all small, slow going, indiffer-
ent appearing pullets and save them
for broilers. Keep for maturity only
the best of the whole lot of pullets
Experiments show that the yearline
hen lays 40 per cent more eggs than
the hen two years old.

All that Is known to-day about the
Etruscans, people who gave Rome
her civilization and refinement, her
arts and sciences, many If not all Of
her political, religious and social insti-
tutions and the weapons and appli-
ances of war which enabled her to con-
quer the world, has been gathered from
the mighty cemeteries of Etruria and
it has been said that "sepulchers re-
vealed what history ignored" In very
early times the power of Etrurla is
said to have extended all over Italy,
but gradually the Gauls and the Sa-
blnes, the Greek colonists, and later
the Romans succeeded in diminishing
this widespread dominion and reduced
! 1t to the limits of the central region or
mother country, which is known as
Etruria Proper and which was bounded
by the Apennines on the north, by the
Tiber on the east, and by the Mediter-
ranean on the west and south

AUTOMATIC POULTRY WATERING
System Used by DR.. A. H. Phelps
Described.

Upon each floor of my poultry house
l have Pinch iron pipe which passes
the whole length of both the main
floor and loft from west to east, at the
latter end projecting outside the build
ing. This pipe runs along the floor,
passing through each of the warm
roosting rooms, in each of which is a
T joint, surmounted by Inch nipple
coupling. On the top of this is
screwed a cast-iron drinking cup 8
inches in diameter and 4 inches deep.
All are set at the same level.
At the west end the inflow takes
place through a tank supplied with a
float valve, like that used for flushing
a closet. This tank and valve are ad-
justed to the same level as the drink
ing cups so that when the cups are
full the float shuts off the inflow, and
as the water is used out, it falls just
enough to allow the cups to refill,
again closing when the proper level
is reached. In this way the water is
not wasted. At the outflow at the
west end a gate serves to flush out
the whole system. Inside of this gate
an overflow pipe, placed at the prop
er level, easily prevents the possibility
of the cups overlooking and thereby
flooding the floors. The Finch pipe
is of that size to render clogging i'm
possible. A pipe from the hot water
heater in the brooder cellar is con-
nected with the inflow pipe, making
it possible to supply hot water to the
system.-Orange Judd Farmer.

HATcHABILITY OF EGGS.
Observation Shows That There Is
Great Difference in Eggs.

Each bird has its own individuality.
By that mean that there are certain
birds which lay eggs that are nearly
always hatchable. With one hen we
found that she was a good layer, a
hen that laid fertile eggs, but the eggs
were not hatchable under hens or in
incubators. One popularity of these
eggs was that the chick would develop
only to about the eighteenth day, or
we always found fully formed dead
chick in the she'll We call that a fer
tile egg, but it is an unhatchable egg.
We have also found other hens that
will lay equally as many eggs that
are nearly all hatchable under natural
conditions, but they are not as hatch
able under artificial conditions. There
are few hens, and l am sorry to
state that they are in the minority,
whose eggs are hatchable under al
most any condition. In other words,
these hens in the latter class seem to
have so much vitality and their eggs
are so strongly fortified that they
will stand abuse in the way of tenn
perature and other conditions that are
present in some methods Of incuba-
ton, and yet will hatch chicken that
is fairly thrifty.-W. r. Graham, On
