March Poultry Notes.

The eggs that are to be used in
the incubator must be kept at an
even temperature. Take especial
care that they are not chilled A
room in the house that is moderate
ly warm is the safest place for
them.
Remember every day to turn the
eggs that you are going to set.
The easiest way to turn the eggs
is to put them in a patent egg box,
where each egg fits snugly into II
compartment, and then all that has
to be done to turn dozen eggs
is OF turn over the box.
Separate the broody hens from
the others, and shut them up in a
dark place where they cannot sit.
If you want pullets for early layers,
set eggs the first week of March.
The pullets from hatch set then
will lay in the first week of Sep
TENDER, and can be sold for a
good price as laying pullets. Such
pullets, however, will mOult later,
and are therefore not really 20
good as those from later matches.
For laying pullets next fall, set
eggs about March 30. ........
In selecting eggs to be used in
the incubator or under the hen
avoid eggs that are rough-surfaced
since they tend to be soft-shelled.
Especially in early hatches,car

at his post Of duty for two or
three years during our Civil War,
is covered with badges. We would
not take one from him, he merits

man has stood at her post Of duty
for thirty, forty and even half a
century, fighting with sickness, pow

true Spartan courage kept the wolf

OF large family OF children. The
man who saves one life receives a
prize for bravery, his picture ap,

and he wears medal which says
to the world he was brave, And
he was. But the woman who has
saved the lives Of many is given nc

the Spanish-American war, when 1t
became necessary to give names to
new towers for interlocking signals

Big Four railroad between Anderson
and Indianapolis, chose names of per-

FLOWING IN FALL OR SPRING
Farmer Must Solve Problem for Him.
self After Study Of His Land !
Six Inches About Right.

As to whether or not fall or spring
breaking should be practiced, each
farmer must decide this for himself
after study of his own land. Level
ground or gently rolling farms may be
plowed with good results in the fall.
Such practice not only allows the
winter to act on the soil. but saves
a great deal OF time In the spring.
However. lands which are rolling to
billy should not be fall plowed be-
cause erosion takes away a great deal
Of the fine dirt, deep washes are cut,
and the plant food which Is available
In late fall and early spring is
washed away. In either case fairly
deep plowing is to be recommended.
On the average six inches is about
right This allows the ground to be
broken down to about the average
depth Of the majority of corn roots,
so gives them their best chance for
growth. In cases where farms have
been poorly managed and shallow
plowing has been practiced, It Is not
advisable to plow this deep all at
once. Not more than one inch OF un-
weathered soil should be turned up in
single season, but the seed bed
should be deepened gradually as the
rotation goes around.-Missouri Ex.

In most Of these gowns sleeves Of

these voile gowns and to accomplish
this the most supple Of satin is used

bodices are free from whalebones,

fact, some Of them have their bodices

two thicknesses are used.
Black Still In the Lead.
Taffeta is having a great rage, as
much If not more than did satin last
year. In spite of all the efforts Of the
majority of the dressmakers to intro

frocks, black and dark blue still con

anything else. Black takes the lead
OF all the colors, but 1t is in almost
every case combined with quantities
OF white, which completely takes away
from any too somber look.

Color Of Egg Shells.

The color OF egg shells Is a matter
in regard to which more has perhaps
been said in poultry papers than the
trade warrants. 1t is commonly stat.

and San Francisco demand white
eggs. These trade fancies probably
result from the fact that there are
