SUMMER MATCHES

Where hens are used for incubation
in the summer, they should be pro-
vided with nests separate from the lay
ing flock. The sitting hen must not be
disturbed. If eggs are laid in the same
nest with those that are Matching, it is
often difficult to tell the fresh ones
from the others, hence partly hatched
eggs are taken out instead of the fresh
ones.
The sitting hen should be given a
new, clean box for a nest, filled with
the cleanest material. Place her on the
new nest and give her the eggs in the
evening. If she is in a good broody
way, she will remain on the eggs and
the nest may then be removed to a
secluded place, where she will not be
disturbed.
Give the hen a good busting with
insect powder two or three times during
incubation and good one as she comes
off with the chicks Lice are a great
enemy of young chicks, hence care
must be taken with the sitting hen
and her nest to see that no lice breed
during incubation. No sane and active
poultry keeper will tolerate lice in the
nest. Place water, feed and a dust
bath where the hen can easily get to
them when she leaves the nest each day.

the poults over carefully and if you
find any of them with the yolk sack
not absorbed and digested, leave them
in the nest, taking out the rest and

favorable where enough water can be

The development of the rice fields
on the prairie and bayou lands in the
vicinity of Weiner and other sec

success is not phenomenal, because
he has only availed himself of oppor-
tunities presented and has sought
to make the most of them.
The new development in the vlcin-
ity Of Weiner and the promise OF at
least a two thousand acre crop for
1910, have assured the erection or
a rice mill at Weiner in time to care
for this years product. Even where
there is no mill within easy hauling

more than 1000 acres Of rice lands
were cultivated, and the acreage this
year is more than double that
amount.
The successes in this new terri
tory surrounding Weiner for the first
year were really wonderful. The
yield was large and the quality OF
the rice the very highest. One farm
er, somewhat skeptical perhaps. ven-

bushel. This crop was raised with
out any special care being given to
it. 1t was sown, flooded, reaped and
threshed in exactly the same manner
as the larger fields are handled. In
fact, rice crop does not permit Of
any really special care. The ground
is prepared in exactly the same mans
ner as for corn, oats or wheat
The seed Is sown with drill used
for wheat or oats. After that there
is no cultivating. The flooding of the
fields, which is essential to the
growth OF rice, destroys all other
vegetation and precludes devastation
by worms or insects.
Right here is where the Arkansas
rice field scores its great point of ad-
vantage over any section yet devel-
oped in America or in Asia. This Is
in the possibility of controlling alb
solutely the water supply and the
flooding OF the fields. Rice can not
be grown without water, but while 1t
thrives and grows to maturity with
its roots and portion OF its stalk
