HArcHINe CHICKENS

The laying season is here and
Matching time will find many OF US
unprepared. Many of US are worry
Ing about the kind of incubator to
buy. and many others are selling
their old incubators because OF a
machine they heard or read about
that matches more and better chicks
without care or attention than theirs
did Remember. there is no best
Incubator: no machine with all the
good points and none OF the weak
them are good. some are better. and
you can make no mistake in choosing
one that IS doing good work In your
community. And do not discard the
old machine that has done fairly
good work. and ia still in good con-
dition. 10 buy one that matches every
egg" the chances are you Will do
no better with a. within the past
week one woman told me she was
discouraged because OF her poor luck
the past season. as she only averaged
one hundred and twenty-five chicks
from two hundred eggs. Some OF her
hens failed IN hatch chicken. but
that was no discouragement; think
Of averaging nearly ten chicks from
fifteen eggs.
Another woman declared II was no
use to try again after Matching thir-
ty-nIne chicks from one hundred
eggs.
An incubator will not feed or regu-
late itself as the hen does, and we
must not expect as good results until
we have had some experience, and
we should not blame the incubator
because OF poor eggs. a poor loca-
tion causing uneven temperature. or
our own carelessness.
Give the old machine thorough
overhauiinE. or order the new one at
once. SO you will not be delayed at
the last minute: and though II may
seem like joking we should like to
warn against Matching too many
chicks. Most OF us are not prepared
for large matches. usually providing
only one brooder for each incubator.
and our chicks .are overcrowded; IN
consequence most of them die and we
pass along the saying: Incubator
chicks are never strong Do not
hatch too early or too late In the sea-
son and do not hatch more chicks
than you can care for; and don't let
the bugaboo. altitude. worry you;
you may need to air the eggs little
longer or apply more moisture than
the rules direct; otherwise run your
incubators as you would at lower
altitude.

orchardIsts begin pruning operations
as soon as the severely cold weather

HELD TO THE DISTRICT
COURT FOR BURGLARY

Ben Scott, colored, who was arrest
ed last summer and sentenced to the
state reformatory at Buena Vista for
stealing a bicycle from Father Ed
munds of Florence. was released from
Imprisonment on Tuesday and at
once rearrested by Sheriff Esser and
brought back here on the charge OF
burglary and robbery at Williams
burg in 1908. Scott was taken before
Justice Armstrong on Wednesday for
preliminary hearing, and, in de-
fault of bond in the sum of three hun
dred dollars, was committed to the
county jail to await trial in the dis
trict court at the April term.
Scott, it will be remembered, en-
tered the premises of the parish
priest at Florence. and stole a bicy-
Gle and attempted to ride away with
it, but was apprehended by Fatner
Edwards, who employed an automo-
bile for the purpose of overtaking he

to the reformatory August thirty-erst
and remained there until discharged
under expiration of sentence a few
days ago.
Recently 1t was learned that Scott
was guilty of breaking into a stor, at
Williamsburg nearly three years ago
and stealing a revolver. watch and
some other jewelry and II is for thai
offense that he is now awaiting pun
ishment. II Is under stood that he has
confessed his guilt in the matter and
there is little doubt OF his being Civ
en- a term in the pc 1itentiary. Scott
is about twenty-six years OF age and
bears the reputation of being a oad
citizen. He was incorrigitle when
first taken to the reformatory and
was confined for ten days in the svii-
tary cell for refusing to obey the rules
of the institution.

years of age, who gave his name AS
Walter Hoigt. was arrested by City
Marshal ID. J. Houston a day or Two
ago on the charge OF vagrancy and
turned over to Sheriff Esser and CIV
en- lodgings in the county jail until
some inquiry could be made into his
history and antecedents. Although
Holgt is the most youthful appearing
hobo ever seen in Canon City he
claims TO have had considerable ex-

edge of the geography of Colorado,
Utah. and contiguous states seems to
bear out his statements In that re-

Montrose and his familiarity with tie

show his truthfulness SO far as that
city is concerned. Hoigt is an adept
in riding blind baggage and Ia

Hoigt was taken to the Home for
Dependent Children In Denver by
Sheriff Esser this afternoon and will
be kept there by the authorities In
