The Chanute times., 1909-12-31

Incubation of eggs is performed by
incubators aud hens. With the
farmer the hen is the principal agent
for such work, and while all re-
sponsibility is placed on her she really
performs but one duty in incubation
that Of lmparting the heat to the
eggs. The success or failure of
match goes back Of the process of
incubation. Where the greatest re-
ponsibility rests is la the selection
of eggs. Ne two eggs are alike. A
LOT OF eggs may be laid by hens that
are in, the best of condition, while
another lot may he from hens OF low
vitality, diseased or excessively fat.
And even the eggs from the best hens
will vary. The truth of the claim
that failures are due TO the eggs, and
not to the sitting hens, as rule, is
shown by the Matching of some
chicks, while others are dead in the
shells. Ii dozen eggs are given a
hen and she matches but one or Two
chicks, she has, by 20 doing, given
proof that she did her duty, else the
TWO or three chicks would not have
hatehed. The successful chicks we're
from eggs laid by hens that were
suitable for breeding purposes. The
eggs that did not hatch were infer
tile, or from hens that were unfit to
be mothers. The first point in hatch
ing, therefore, is to endeavor to select
eggs from hens that are known to be
healthy, in laying condition and which
are mated with active males. In
winter eggs are liable to be injured
by severe cold. An egg freezes about
ten degrees above zero, and as the
expansion Of water is sufficient to
break the strongest vessel, the egg
shell is no exception. The only safe
mode of avoiding injury to eggs from
cold is TO visit the nests frequently
and bring the eggs into the house.
When the hen goes on a nest she
warns the nest material, and as the
egg is warm when laid, it does not
freeze Immediately thus allowing
some time for 1t TO remain Ia the
nest. To mitigate the difficulty use
warm nests, and keep them filed with
plenty of material so as to lessen the
liability of the effects of the severe
cold.
There are days when the farmer
feels like sitting by the Ere except
when giving the necessary attention
to the stock but such days are not
numerous In Kansas If weather cen
ditions alone are considered. Other
days he must go to town but there
are yet other days when there does
not seem to be anything that Is really
pressing. When such days come
what excuse car there be for not re-
pairing few gates, rehanging the
barn doors IL needed, and doing
little fxlng up generally. Neatness
has cash valne and IL your fArn Is

only be worth more money but It

CURE.
Bacillus to be Destroyed by an
Antitoxin-To Make Men I'M
mune.

mune.
Philadelphia Dispatch to New York Sun.
By official announcement made
today the greatest discovery in
the war against consumption
since the finding of the tubercu-
losis bacillus by Koch was made
public.
This is the discovery of DIR.
Randle C. Rosenbergh, famous
biologist and holder Of the chair
of bacteriology at Jefferson Mid
ical College, that the tuberculosis
germ can be readily found in the
blood long before it reaches the
lungs: that it is then in a condi-
ton which makes it easily de-
stroyed by simple treatment and
fresh air, and that it will soon be
possible to use an antitoXin which
will stamp the disease out.
DR.. Rosenberg has tested his
discovery and his method upon
$50 cases, in none of which was
there a failure. He has made
known the results of his expert
ments to the college of Physic-
ians and to the faculty of Jeffer-
son College, and his whole paper
upon the subject will appear
shortly in a medical publication.
Before that DIR. Rosenbergh, who
| is a purist in medical ethics, will
not discuss it or go into details
of the matter. Beyond the bare
confirmation Of the essential
points he had nothing to say.
, From other sources, entirely
familiar with DR.. Rosenburg's
experiments, it was learned that
; he had found that the tubercu-
, losis bacilli make their first ap-
pearance in the blood of the in
= fected person. They do not first
appear in the lungs or glands,
4 but invariably in the blood. @To
: varying degrees of time depend
7 ing upon the condition and sus.
: ceptibility of the affected one,
L they course about in the circula.

, While in the blood they may bt
y found by a simple test which DR.
d Rosenbergh has discovered. Thu
y nature of this test is still a Sc
. cret. Then they may be eradi
, Gated quickly and entirely.
T. By this discovery an anti toxir
or virus can be injected that will
# render the human organism i'm
mune to consumption. Worl
upon the virus based on the new
phase of the matter, is nov
y in progress. The hope of it

SIXTY-NINE-CENT DOLLARS.
What the Increase in Cost of
Living Means.
Providence Journal.

L
The increase in the cost of
living for the period from 1897
to 1907 has been shown in many
ways, but never more effective
ly than by the statistics, dia-
grams and comparisons present
ed by Prof. Joseph French John
son, dean of the School of Com
merce of New York University,
testifying in the Standard Oil
hearing. The average consumer
requires no mathematical de-
monstration to convince him that
his money does not go anywhere
near so far nowadays as it did
ter or even five. years ago. The
percentages and other media of
statistical illustration are never
theless impressive when the con-
sumner is brought face to face
with them and discovers how
completely are his vague and
general conclusions substanti-
ated.
Reduced to it's simplest terms,
for the general comprehension,
Professor Johnson shows that
the man who had an income says
of, $1,000 ten years ago was
just as we'll off as he would be
to-day with an income of So.
623, That means that the dol
lar Of 1897 is worth" now only
50 cents. It is the fact, OF
course, that the income Of many
persons has increased cores.
pondingly; so that in the ag
gregate the sixty-nine-cent dol
lars, expressed in terms of the
commodities to obtain which dol
lars are required, serve as we'll al
did the fewer one-hundred-cen
dollars ten years ago. Unfor
tunately, not everybody is reg
ularly in receipt of an extra sup
ply of dollars as compared t,
former income. A large arm,
of salaried persons are compele
keenly to realize that the dolla
is worth much less than on
hundred cents in relative pun
chasing power. The percentage
show that the wage-earners ar
comfortably we'll off; despite tn
morked reduction Of the dollar
value. The average rise in con
. modify prices is shown to be
, per cent, while the averae

rection the amount shows as a

REELFOOT LAKE.
Strange History of Spot Where
Night-Riders' Crime Occurred.


Uncle Remus' Magazine.
The physical history Of Reel
foot lake of night-rider fame is
not without a certain interest Of
it's own. The lake came into ex-
istence as the result of a series
of earthquakes which began in
December, 1911, and continued
until June, 1872.
Some authorities say that the
earthquakes II rely heaved up
a great ridge q land across the
path of the Reeiioot river, which
runs into the Mississippi, and
that this dam caused the water
to back up and broaden out and
form a lake; but the favorite &C
count in the neighborhood is to
the effect that the ground sank,
springs were opened up, neigh
boring creeks diverted from their
course and the overlooking wa
tiers of the Mississippi rushed in
during the food season Of the
spring of 1872.
! 1t is said that for an hour and
a half the waters of the Missis-
sisppi flowed up hill while filling
up the depression caused by the
earthquakes. Both accounts like

Much of such work can be done
in the winter months when other
farm work is not so pressing;
but dry weather is preferable
since the wood is then dryer and
the hot liquid will penetrate
deeper. The painting of the
tops of posts will retard decay
at that end. It is scarcely neces-
sary to say that the painting of
all outside wood work about
buildings with a lead and oil
paint adds not only to their
appearance, but to their dura-
bility as we'll.

A WONDERFUL RADIsH.

Most OF us like to try something
new, occasionally, at any rate; and
when with newness we can obtain
goodness we are very we'll satisfied.
Japan has given us many splendid
flowers and shrubs, such as the iris,
the chrysanthemum; the SNOWFALL.
the wistaria, etc., etc., and many
splendid edible plants are to be cred
tied to this wonderful kingdom of
plant lovers.
From the bureau of plant introduc-
ton of the United States Department
of Agriculture come many foreign
vegetable foods. Those from japan
seem to like our climate and suit the
American palate well, so perhaps our
Department Of Agriculture will be I'M
derstood and appreciated by and by,
rather than looked upon as a source
of cheap jokes.
One of the most remarkable of the
introduced plants is new radish. It
is known as the Sakurajimi, and is
Incredibly immense in size, weighing
from ten to fifteen pounds when full
grown; therefore, one radish is ample
for family. 1t is white and has
thick skin, which readily peels off.
The flesh is melting and very tender
and reminds one of a particularly
choice apple in texture. 1t is never
strong or sharp, but is like the dain-
test of early radishes Unlike the
common radish, however, it remains
delicate throughout the year. It's
great leaves are always good to eat
and make excellent greens.
This wonder radish grows any
where. 1t is planted in rows and
thinned out to give it ample room.
The Sakurajimi grows easily and
with little or no care, and it appeals
to every one who likes radishes. 1t
is decided acquisition to our list of
vegetables Washington Star.

SUCCESS WITH SQUASH.


To grow squash first requisite is
good seed bed, sandy loan with
gravelly subsoil being one of the
best. The ground should be warm
when the bed is prepared. It should
be plowed six to eight inches deep
after being covered with we'll rotted
manure in ample quantity.
The size of the squash may be in
creased by later manuring each hill
In preparing the hills for seed, the
ground should be worked over into
little mounds about as large as a half
bushel measure, and the hills should
be six to eight feet apart in each di-
rectjon according to the variety
planted, some growing more vigor-
ously than others. Five or six seed
should be planted in the centre of
each prepared hill and covered with
one inch of soil. After the plants
are well started they should be
thinned to two or three in each hill.
The vines are often troubled with
what is known as the squash bug,
but, if chickens are allowed to run
among them they will keep the in
sects in check.-Indianapolis News.

NICE AND. RABBITS.

One way to keep rabbits and nice
from the young trees is to use circle
of laths stapled to small galvanized
wire. Two wires are enough. Usu-
ally four or five laths will encircle the
tree and form a perfect protection.
If used full length, the laths shade
the body of the tree and prevent sum
scald. To keep away the borer, wrap
the trunk with paper before wiring
the wood protection in place. Be sure
that the wired circle does not fit
tightly; loosen the wires, from time
to time, as the tree trunk grows. ~
