BREAKING UP THE BROOCHES

1t Is natural for hens of the sitting
breeds to become broody after shs
has finished laying "clutch" Of eggs.
They do not deserve to be ducked o.
otherwise abused because they follow
the course nature has laid down fos
them.
If the hen begins to show signs OF
broodiness and is not needed for
Matching it is very easy to break her
up, II immediate action is taken.
Shutting her in box with SLATED
bottom, the box being supported foot
from the ground. will usually cure
her in day or two
The Slated bottom furnishes a per.
fectly easy place for the hen to stand
or sit, but is not conducive to the
kind Of sitting that comes with the
fever of broodiness. Broodiness is a
sort of fever and the Slated bottom
of the box allows the air to circulate
under the hen and soon cools the
fever and the hen is ready to so to
work sooner.
1t is doubtful If rearing a brood OF
chickens decreases the egg record of a
hen in any way. If the hen becomes
broody she will waste a lot of time if
allowed to sit around until she gets
ready to quit, but If she is broken up
at once it is doubtful If she will begin
laying again any sooner than she
would If she had been allowed to
hatch and rear a brood of chicks.

The illustrations show the mold for
making the brick, also six of the
finished brick on the drying palette or

The two sides Of this mold are
formed of 2x6-inch timber: the twelve
center cross pieces are of ks boards,
while almost any lumber may be used.
Hard wood, however, If smooth and
straight is preferable.
The brick are supposed to be 2x4xs
inches and set as shown on one face.
This permits the molder to face the
brick with a very rich cement mixture
say about one inch and the remain
ing space in the mold is filled with a
leaner or weaker mixture.
While 1t Is true that a mixture of
one part cement and four parts coarse
sand will make a brick that will sup

not be waterproof, so by filling the
first one inch with mixture of one
part cement and one or two parts sand
we get waterproof brick on the face

RAISING WILD GEESE FOR PROFIT
THE EXPERIENCE SHOWS WAY TO


friend Of mine had derived much
pleasure, besides comfortable profit
from raising wild geese In captivity.
The idea first occurred to him while
visiting a gunners' stand on the sea-
shore, where wild geese were being
used as decoys. During the long waits
which necessarily occur between the
flights of birds, the conversation
naturally turned to ways and means
in vogue in this kind. Of shooting, and
the difficulty of securing good birds to
act as decoys was much dwelt upon.
IF they are so rare and expensive,
why could not make an honest dollar
rearing them in captivity" he reas-
oned, and then and there determined
to make the attempt.
To secure a pair of birds, goose and
gander to begin with, was not an easy
task, and yet was successfully accom-
plished before the season was over.
AS the gunners fired upon the birds,
now and then one would be brought
down which was not seriously injured.
and which with care and attention
would soon recover from its wounds.
Selecting a pair of these winged
birds, he gave their injuries careful
treatment, and carried them home.
Soon they had completely recovered,
and were as well as ever.
Early the following spring, they

There are few ornamental trees or
shrubs that do not require occasional
pruning or trimming at one season or
another for their best growth and
development. The extent of this,
with certain exceptions, however, is
often quite limited, and in this res
pect Ornamental plants differ from
fruit trees. Pruning is usually given
too little attention by the amateur
planter and home-maker with the
result that the task Is put off as long
as possible to be finally disposed of
with little or no forethought at one
fell stroke as it were. of the axe or
saw, regardless of results.
1t goes without saying that all newly
set trees should have their branches
cut back to correspond with the loss
of roots incident to transplanting
though this does not mean that such
trees are to be reduced to poles. AT
planting time all mutilated parts of
roots should be removed, and If the
trees are of considerable size, |. e.,
eight feet or 30 high, the main Limbs
should be cut back to within IL or ID
inches of the trunk, the leader being,
of course. retained. A sufficient mum
Der, varying with the kind of tree, OF
the more vigorous of these main limbs
are left to form the framework of the
crown. These should be disposed at

though this latter condition is not COM
light, and sometimes scant supply of
plant food. Such pruning, however,
should be done with elaboration as
to effects desired. Dead OF unhealthy
branches or those broken by storms
should be removed speedily, and If
necessary the remaining top or crown
reduced sufficiently to insure reason
able uniformity later. Slow growing
or unhealthy trees are often encour-
aged to make vigorous growths by
judicious pruning, in connection, of
course. with other proper care. Open
headed trees may be made to grow
more compact by heading in, while a
gradual thinning out of the inner
branches corrects trees with too dense
or compact heads. Likewise, those
that are symmetrical can be
worked into symmetrical trees by re-
moving the abnormal parts, though
such treatment Is most effective in
the earlier training of the plant. AS
trees get older 1t becomes necessary
to cut out some of the inner branches
to open up the crown, thereby over
coming a crowded or brushy appear
ance, and providing for continued
symmetrical development Of the tree
as a whole. The numerous dead
limbs in the centers of even healthy
trees are excellent witnesses to this
fact.
