tically all arrangements have been

brace every congressional district.
This series OF lectures will be for the
purpose Of educating the people and
endeavoring to show that they should
lend their aid and support to the med.
ical profession il stamping out conta-
gious diseases and in improving the
health of the public as far as possible.
DR.. McCorm ack will also point out

The Poultry Yard.

| IF you have a sheltered place, not
only to set the hens but also TO rear
the young, March matches will be
! profitable. Barrels laid on their sides
under a shed or some outbuilding.
make ideal nests at this time OF the
year.
Do not make the common error Of
setting hens in the regular laying
houses, and never be guilty OF shut
ting up hen on the nest. The barrel
method is far better, and if a small
| lath run is built in front of the nest,
the hen can set off and on her eggs as
she deems best.
Some hens sit too closely to the
nest, and others not close enough.
But it is not in the province of man
to know just how long biddy should
remain on or off her eggs. Her judg-
ment is best in such matters.
II is not advisable at this time of
the year to place more than eleven
eggs under a hen, as those on the
outer edge are apt to become chilled.
Do not disturb her while she is
Matching; and leave the young in the
nest for at least twenty-fonr hours.
The youngsters need the warmth more
than they do food.
For the first two weeks it is best to
keep the hen and her young in large
house or coop, so that they can exer-
else and at the same time be protected
from the weather. After that time
they can be allowed outdoors during
the middle of nice days.
Be sure that the new male bird you
are using for breeding is no relative
of the hens. You cannot expect strong,
rugged stock where there is close re-
lationship between sire and dams.
If it is intended to purchase eggs
for Matching this season, the order
had better be placed now, so that there
will be no disappointment in not get
ting the eggs when wanted.
For strong fertility, try altern ating
male birds in the pens. Have either
two males for each pen, or three males
for two pens, using only one male at a
time in pen, and changing about
twice a week.
Eggs from two-year-old hens are
apt to hatch best at this time, and
the chicks will be more thrifty than
those from pullet eggs.
/ AS a rule the eggs from hens thai
did heavy laying during the winter
will not be SO fertile as eggs from
hens that made but a fair showing. =

coopsrs Find Substitute Weed.

The coopers OF the United States are
probably suffering more at the present
time for want OF Il supply of timber
than the men of any other wood using
industry.
This condition is caused largely by
the great decrease in the supply of
those woods considered necessary for
cooperage stock, and the lack OF
knowledge of the merits of such species
of wood as might possibly be used as
substitutes. a few years ago the coop
erage manufacturers Of the Pacific
coast obtained their supply of timber
from the east, using very largely the
better cooperage woods, such as white
oak and elm. Recently, these manu-
faeturers have been using with reason
able success various species of wood
native to tier Immediate section.
Sttka spruce is now largely used on
the Pacific coast for such slack coop,
erage as flour, sugar, lime ard bottle
barrels, and such tight eooperags, as
vinegar, pickle and cider barrels, but
ter and cheese cooperage, buckets AMI
pals.
Recently, wine barrels have been
made from Sitka spruce, these being
coated within with a high grade OF par
affine. Douglas FIR is also used to
some extent. Inferior grades of slack
