rary character, have determined upon
an investigation to discover it's cause.
The continued falling off cannot be &C
counted for, and it is considered neces-

United States is being done to deter
people in foreign countries seeking
new homes from finding them here.
1t is known that the peonage inves-

the posting Of notices in some coun-

not to come to the United States, but
this has never been seriously regarded
as reflection upon conditions here.

The Hen for Hatcfinu.

incubator for her own eggs, being
superseded by the wonderful handi-

that there are few who still appre-

Hens are generally regarded by
most breeders as of little value for
Matching purposes, owing to the great

ton out at one hatch by means Of
a good incubator, but inquiry develops

and in England who desire to attain

ity rather than quantity is desired
there can be no more improvement
upon the natural method
Americas greatest Brown Leghorn
specialist-the man who has done
more perhaps than any one else to
raise the standard of beauty of that
variety-has repeatedly averred that
he has never seen an incubator to
| which he would be willing to entrust
his choicest sittings of special mat
ings.
! New York's most prominent Barred
| Plymouth Rock specialist is of the
same opinion, and the New England

the incubator freely for general pur-
poses, still retains the hen for his
choicest matings.
The hen for Matching is still in use
on the town lot and on many farms
where only limited number of chicks
are desired each season. In such
cases the best results may be had from
j old hens for brooding. If well feath-
cred, the older and more experienced
the hen the better mother she will

be avoided.
Plymouth Rocks and Orpingtons
make the best mothers as rule, the
Asiatics are too large and clumsy.
! Occasionally an old common hen will
be found that cannot be excelled as
mother, and she should be held in
priceless esteem. A few such hens
about the place will more than pay
for their feed in the extra number Of
chicks which they will bring up to
maturity.

Battling With Nature.

There is no country on earth where

have made ourselves name that

turists, but in the history Of the pro-
gress Of the world. Why not do 1t!

we fight humanity. In lawsuit even

battle with nature, working in &C

which you may make an old, worn
out farm, producing q bushels Of

the acre, you have defeated nobody,
you have not made anybody feel bad.
On the other hand you have helped
yourself, and taught your neighbor
