Mss Mary Garden went to France to
the way that enables her to make a
million francs yearly-by her own adj

takes phenomenal flights of air-but
of different kinds-comes to America

there are many who would rather
pay 10c each for chicks than to both

At this price you make a market for

Do You Use One?

/ have been asked dozen times,
do you run an incubator; can you
get good matches; are the chicks ar
tifically Matched strong?" To all of
which questions I answer, Yes :"
This shows that there is an interest
in poultry and a desire to get out
some early chicks for next falls lay
ers and also some broilers to dispose
of when prices are at their best. The
incubator is the only hen you can
make sit whether she wants to or not
and artificial incubation has reached
that stage of perfection when it can
be said it is dependable and almost
a necessity where early chickens in
any considerable numbers are wanted.
Regarding percentage of eggs
Matched, it is said, and probably borne
out by facts, that the old hen will
hatch some eggs that the incubator
will not, but the incubator cannot be
condemned or discontinued for the
small percentage lost in this way.
Having way to hatch chicks when
you want them, and getting rea-
sonably good hatch at a time when
one could get none but for the incu-
bator far more than offsets the dis
advantages.
Some experiment stations claim to
have proven that chicks artifica,ly
Matched are a little smaller and that
the mortality is greater than is the
case with hen Matched chicks. This
may he true to limited extent, but
so far as I could see without weigh
ing, my incubator chicks were the
equal in all ways to the hen Matched

decide on a machine have no doubt
wherever they order, if they buy a
machine at a fair price, they will be
satisfied There are many good in

out about them is at large poultry

Poultry Notes

If your pure bred chicks look good
to you why not have few birds for
the shows next fall? Now is a good
time to begin to plan for this. Save
the eggs from the best hens, hatch
them early and crowd the youngsters
up to the limit.
Late Matched chickens are often
recommended, but under ordinary cir
cumstances the "early birds get the
worms" The late chickens, unless
you have special facilities, seldom
make a good growth
Incubator chicks are not handicap
ped with a crop of lice when they
start life
Experiments show that the year
ling hen lays 40 per cent more eggs
than the hen that is older
The high priced eggs should not be
put under the hen until she has fully
made up her mind to sit. Often she
quits after a few days early in the
season.
The nest of the sitting hen espe-
cially should be kept c.ean and free
from vermin
Do not let the early eggs get chilled
from underneath the nest
Remember March can be made a
good egg month if you feed right.
If the incubator does the Matching
you can keep the hens laying ali the
time.
A pile of straw in the poultry yard
is a joy to the hens and profit maxi
er for the keeper.

they will not harm the smallest child,
and can be eaten with a spoon.
Stains can be removed from marble
with the following mixture: A gill of
soapsuds and oxgall, half gill of
turpentine and as much fuller's earth
as will make a paste. Rub on the
stains and leave for few days.
When pressing seams on heavy ma
terial, put the iron down heavily, hold
it there a moment then lift it up and
put it down little further along. This
does not put the seam out of shape as
running it along does.
A suggestion in whipping. cream is
to whip it in the upper part of dauble
boiler, with fine ice or cold water
placed in the lower part. An added ad-
vantage of this arrangement is that
there is less scattering.

white paper, smear little of the but

WASHINGTON, Mar. 30.-Declar-
ing the new rules committee of the

republican and democratic caucuses
which in it's natural effect and tenden-
cies is destructive of free and repre-

by secret baiirt in caucus. Mr.. Sims
resolution was referred to the rules
committee.
Referring to his resolution Mr.. Sims
said he intended no criticism what
ever of the sction of the recent party
caucuses in choosing the new rules
committee.
THAT action was above suspicion in
