The American Hen.


The editor has not asked me to givo
any of my wisdom on the subject OF
poultry. but l viii send in this sug-
gestion anyway: I know from what
have seen on some farms that the
hens made a great deal more money
investment, work and cost considered
than any other one branch Of farm
ing Most farmers cons der the care
of poultry "woman's work." and some
of them are actually ashamed to be
seen helping their wives look after
the fowls. What 81 mistake! It Is
not as much q Woman'S work as
mans, because it often involves ex-
posure during storms and cold weather
and the man who viii refuse to save
his wife from any bit Of hard work
possible is a pretty poor specimen Of
a farmer. If these men would study
the science Of poultry raising and
give it as much attention as any
other branch Of farming they would
make more money and make It
easier. The American hen has made
her place in agriculture by producing
millions Of dollars every year and she
has earned the respect of every right
thinking farmer in the land-Samuel

The essentials in running an incu-
bator are: 1) To keep the eggs at
proper temperature (103 degrees on
q level with the top Of the eggs). (2)
TO give the eggs steady cr< mt of
pure air. CD To cause the evs. ton
of moisture from the eggs at
NAL rate. ca To prevent the I,
from resting too long in one position.
The lamp should be OF the best ma
terial and the wick of sufficient width
that the temperature may be main
tained with a low blaze.
The most satisfactory place for the
lamp is at the end of the machine,
outside of the case. The method Of
getting the heat from the lamp to the
eggs my be a tank Of hot water or by
circulation OF warm air.
The first method has in the past
been the more common. The tank Of
hot water retains the heat and the
eggs are less subject to sudd den Varia-
tions intemperature.
On the other hand, a hot water ma
chine does not conform as quicky to
the actions of the regulator and is
more liable to prolonged Over-heating.
The hot air machines may be in
part heated by the hot lamp fumes
passing through the top Of the ma
chine, but the more important source
of heat is pure warm air which is
drawn through a chamber around the
lamp f1ue and passed directly into
the egg chamber.
The ventilation of an incubator is
Of vital Importance. The rate of
evaporation must be also considered.
Eggs lose much Of their water during
incub baton. If the evaporation varies
much from the normal amount good
matches cannot be secured.
The rate Of evaporation is determ-
ined by three things: the temperature.
the humidity, and the circulation OF
the air. Theoretically it would be
best to supply air at q given rate and
containing a certain per cent. Of moist
ure, but in the commercial incubator
such an arrangement is impractical.
The most practical system of con-
trolling evaporation is a system OF
forced ventilation, in which the air
is heated around the lamp-flue and
passed through the egg-chamber at a
rate determined by ventilators in the
bottom Of the machine.
With this system no effort is made
to supply moisture to the air, the rate

Of evaporation being governed wholly
by the rate Of air circulation.
Turning the egg is not the work
that many imagine it to be. It Is not
necessary that the egg be turned with
absolute precision and regularity.
An elaborate device for this work
is useless. The trays VIII need ! .>-
Ouently to be removed and turned
around or shifted, and the eggs can
be turned at this time by lifting out a
few on one side Of the tray and roll
ing the others over.
The person TO run the incubator is
the first condition of its success. A
good incubator requires attention
twice a day. One person can give this
attention ard should give it regularly
and carefully.
The farmers wife or some mem Der
Of the family can often give more
time and interest to this work than
can the farmer.
The best location for an incubator
IS a cool, dry cellar. The next choice
would be a room in the house away
from the fire or from windows.
Drafts of air blowing on the ma
chine are especially to be avoided. Not
only do they affect the temperature

Sensible Horse RatiOnS.

A gentleman engaged extensively in
the lumber business in the north has
a large number of horses which he
feeds by system which makes and
keeps them healthy, hardy and yigor-
Gus.
In feeding them he cuts the hay
and grinds the oats, the hay being Well
soaked with water fourteen hours be-
fore it is fed. A little bran is added
to the ground oats and this mixed
meal is then mixed with the hay.
The feed is given morning and
night, oats alone being fed at noon.
The ration per head a day is ten
pounds Of the hay, ten pounds ground
oats and one pound of bran, with
eight pounds of dry oats fed at noon.
l:uIing seven years Of such feeding
the lum herman has not lost a single
horse, while previous to that he Of
ter lost one from some digestive dis
order.
Horses on the farm would not re-
Quire such heavy feeding, but the
combination of food and manner of
feeding could be followed by farmers
with profit.

BABY'S SCALP CRUSTED

Our little daughter, when three months old, began to break out on the head and we had the best doctors to treat her, but they did not do her any good. They said she had eczema. Her scalp was a solid scale all over. The burning and itching was so severe that she could not rest, day or night. We had about given up all hopes when we read of the Cuticura Remedies. We at once got a cake of Cuticura Soap, box of Cuticura Ointment and one bot tie of Cuticura Resolvent, and fol- lowed directions carefully. After the first dose of the Cuticura Resolvent, we used the Cuticura Soap freely and applied the Cuticura Ointment. Then she began to improve rapidly and in two weeks the scale came off her head and new hair began to grow. In a very short time she was well. She is now sixteen years of age and pie ture of health. We used the Cuti- cura Remedies about five weeks, reg ularly, and then we could not tell she had been affected by the disease. We used no other treatments after we found out what the Cuticura Remedies would do for her. J. Fish and Ella M. Fish, Mt. Vernon, Ky, Oct. 12, 1909."

FIGHTERS IN THE MAJORITY
Veteran Member of Congregation was Tired of Part He Fad Been
 Playing.

Representative Harry Maynard or Virginia tells the story of how re- ligious old negro in his district put stop to the exercise of Christian char ity in the congregation of which he was a member. It seems that 1t was a practise in the church to excom- municate for one year any mempeF who had been guilty of blood light that is, any man who had attacked another with pistol or razor.
 At the end of the year, if the of' fender wished reinstatement, he could 20 to the "mourners' bench rise and declare his repentance, and be forgiven by the congregation. This went on for many years. At last young darky who had been in particularly objectionable broil appeared for rein statement. The pastor made an elo- quent appeal to the congregation and everybody began to shout and say Amen"
 It was at this point that the old negro arose and said hotly:
 Look hyah, pahson; eber since l been a membuh of dis congergashun, dar ain been nothin' but fightin an fuhgivin'-an' l been doing all de fuhgivin. Tse tired of it!'

BOTH SKINNED BY MiDDLEMAN
B. F. Yoakum Tells Farmers How They and Consumer Get Worsted
 at Hands of Dealer.

Excessive profit taking by middle men was the reason assigned for high prices of foodstuffs by B. F. Yoakum, chairman of the Frisco sys- tenn, in an address the other day be- fore the national convention of the Farmers Educational and Co-opera- tive union at St. Louis.
 He declared the heavy reductions In freight rates of the last few years had been absorbed by the dealers, and not shared in by the farmers or con- sumers.
 Better marketing methods were ad- Vanced as a means by which farmers would get better prices for the food they raise and at the some time low CT figures would be given consumers.
 "The most important force for the welfare of the nation will come when the land owners of America are or ganized," said MT. Yoakum. Tt is not prices received by farmers which make living expenses high, but the profits of the dealers handling the food between the farmer and the con- sumer.
 The Florida farmer receives S2.25 for bushel of green peas, the rail- road gets 50 cents for the S00-mille haul to New York, and the consumer pays $6.40 for this same bushel of beans. There is 35 per cent for the grower, eight per cent for the carrier, and 57 per cent. for the dealer. This is not fair division.
 Thirty cents dozen was the aver age price of eggs in New York last year, while the farmers of Arkansas and Missouri received 15 cents. The freight was two cents a dozen. The men who received the eggs at a freight station in New York and deliv- CT them to the consumer take 13 cents a dozen profit.
 The rice farmer of Texas, Louis jana and Arkansas gets 21s cents a pound for the grain, and the consumer in New York pays ten cents a pound for this rice. The freight is one-half cent pound. If the rice farmer were paid 312 cents, and the dealer took one cent profit (which is 25 per cent |, the new York consumer would get 20 pounds of rice for one dollar, instead of ten pounds as now"

OLD LADY'S
 SAGE ADVICE
Knoxville Lady Tells How She Tried Advice of Her Neighbor and Experienced Great Im-
 provement.

Knoxville, Tenn-"If you had seen me, before I began to take Cardui, you would not think I was the same per son." writes Mrs. Mamie Towe, of 102 W. Main St., this city.
 "Six doctors failed to do me good, end my friends thought I would die. I could hardly get out of bed or walk a step.
 At last an old lady advised me to take Cardui, and now I can go most anywhere"
 The secret of lasting health is: regularity.
 If a clock does not tick regularly and evenly, it is out of order and soon wears out, or runs down. If all your functions are not regular and natural, you will soon wear out, and get old and run down.
 All ailing women need Cardui, as a gentle, refreshing tonic, and beneti- cial, curative medicine, especially adapted to their peculiar ailments.
 It is a reliable, vegetable remedy, for most all womanly ills.
 This is the secret of the wonderful success of Cardui during the past 50 years, in the relief and cure of ail- ments peculiar to women.
 It removes the cause and builds up the strength.
 Try Cardui.

COOPERATE TO SELL FRUIT
Few Excellent Examples of What Farmers Can Accomplish by Work
 ing Together in Harmony.

A fruit selling association was or ganized at Long Lake, Minn., in 1896. In 1905 this association did $72,- 900 worth of business; in 1906, ST. 000, and in 1907, $12,000; the fall ing off being attributed to the poor fruit season. A similar asso- citation has been in existence at Ex- celsior for several years and has been able to greatly reduce the cost of mar keting fruit.
 An excellent example of what few people can do by working together is shown by the Sparta Fruit Growers association of Sparta, Wis. This as sociation was incorporated in 1896 un- der the laws of Wisconsin. Its capital stock Is $6,000, and consists of 5000 Sha-es valued at two dollars each, says Market Growers Journal. It has president, vice-president, a secre- tary and treasurer, and a board of directors consisting of six stockhold- CTS. This board has the entire man. agement of the association. In 1908 this association did over $S0000 worth of business. Some days they shipped as many as 4,000 cases of strawberries.
 Shipments are made to various parts of Minnesota, the Dakotas and Wisconsin. During the shipping sea son the association keeps a repre- sentative In South Dakota and also one in Minneapolis and St. Paul. Through the efforts of these men they are able to watch the markets and ship just enough berries to take care of the demand, thus avoiding over stocking the markets and bringing down prices. The cost of running the business has not exceeded four per cent, and sometimes has been as low as two and one-half per cent. Last year the association paid a seven per cent. dividend on capital stock. Ten per cent. Cf all money received from sales is held by the association until the end of the year, when the books are closed and the balance due each seller is paid to him.
 In addition to selling fruit the asso citation makes it's boxes and crates. The net profit saved on these boxes by making them themselves is from $500 to $500 per year This profit is returned to the farmers according tc the produce each brings for sale.

 During the progress of big "pro- tracted meeting" for which the south is famous, an ardent sister of the church, who usually came in an old fashioned blackboard drawn by the family horse, was late for a particular ly important service and was being severely censured by the pastor.
 Explaining the reason for being late the good sister said that the horse had taken fright at a passing train and bolted and that the wreck of the rig had prevented her from being on time
 My dear sister, such little things should not make you late for divine services. You should trust in the Lord"
