MAKING LATE MATCHES PAY
cockereIs Will Grow Rapidly and
Come In Nicely for Winter
"sprIngers" for Frying.

Midsummer chicks are as rule
not success. The main reasons are
that the hot weather and insects are
against them. But late matches will
frequently do as well as early ones
with equally good care. For late
matches set hens or the Incubator any
time in August, to have the chicks
come OF in September, when the
weather is cooler and the summer in
sects have begun to diminish.
Cockerels from early fall matches
will grow rapidly and will come in
nicely for winter .'springers" for
broiling or frying. Pullets from these
matches may not grow to be so large
as spring-hatched pullets. nor will
they lay this coming winter, but they
will begin to lay next spring, and will
continue to lay all next summer at a
time when other hens are of duty in
the egg business. With good NUM-
Der OF fall-hatched pullets contin-
nous egg supply for all the seasons
is assured.

AUTOMOBILE HAS A WING
French Motor Car Is Driven in the
Same Manner as an
Aeroplane.

Al successful trial run was made re-
gently from Paris to London, about
800 miles, by motor car driven by
revolving wing. the Paris Figaro
mates.
The vehicle, which was designed by
N. Bertrand de Lesseps, and is called
the winged car" has the appearances
Of an ordinary motor car, save that
In front it is shaped like the Prov
Of ship. From the extremely OF
the PROV extends a shaft to which is
attached the propeller or revolving
wing invented by NJ. Filippi
The wing Is small, strong and thick
and revolves within protecting cage.
The engine is Of 40 horse power and
rotates the wing by shaft and chain
transmission.
There is no other mechanism, the
wheels OF the car being free, except
for footbrakes. BY the side Of the
driver is single lever which con-
trolls the clutch and the forward and
reverse movement OF the wing. The
wing can be reversed at moments
notice. thereby forming an additional
brake. In the trial runs speed Of
SO miles an hour was obtained with
400 revolutions OF the wing q min
ute. One curious feature was that the
car made no dust.

Hawks, Owls and Other Birds Are
Teased and Tormented BY These
Noisy Birds.

The blueiay likes best to live in
thick woods, but it often comes into
open fields, orchards and near dwell
ings in search of food. When it dis
covers you 1t assumes a proud and
angry air Of conceit and defiance.
The bluejay's upper parts are pur-
plish-blue. The lower parts are pur-
plish-gray. The wings and tail are
bright blue with black bars. The tail
feathers are tipped with white. 1t has
crested head.
The bluejay builds its nest about
twenty feet above ground. It is made
Of twigs and fine roots. From four to
six eggs are laid. They are of green
lsh drab color hecked with brown.
Doubtless the bluejay helped to
name itself, as its common utterance
is long drawn, Jay, jay. jay" This
cry, with the bright blue color, has
given it its name.
While the jay sings no song IL Is
able to initiate the calls of other
birds, by which means it often at
tracts them. 1t likes to tease and
torment the owl and especially the lit
tie sparrow hawk. This is done by
initiating the cry Of wounded bird.
which draws the hawk near. Then
several Jays will dart at the hawk
squealing and frolicking about in
great glee. Sometimes the play ends
in tragedy, for the hawk pounces
upon one Of them to the dismay Of
the others. Jays may be Gagged and
tanned like crows and some writer's
say they can be taught to utter words.

CURE FOR DRooPY POULTRY

This treatment causes the feathers

Molting season is at hand.

Melting season Is at hand.
Pullets Matched In March should be
laying now.
Vermin breeds much faster in warm
weather than in cool.
Filth and vermin are the great
profit killers and yet good remedies
are In reach of everyone.
Hens set in August will produce
chicks that will grow into first-class
table poultry about February.
If our chicks or older fowls are not
thrifty, let us look into our methods
and find out where we are to blame.
When the hens begin to climb trees
to roost, 1t is time to look to the venti-
lation and cleanliness of the houses.
Hen afiicted with scaly leg cannot
possibly give the best service in egg
production, and rough shanks look
bad.
Do not use harsh methods In break
ing up the broody hens. Remember
that broodiness is natures provision
for rest.
Authorities claim that the eggs
from a hen win be fertile for ten days
after the removal Of the male from
the flock.
The appearance Of the fowls is not
very attractive now, but when the
melting ordeal Is over they wiz look
all the prettier.
Two essentials are absolutely nee
essary to raise summerhatched
chicks: First, an abundance Of fresh
air: second, protection from the heat
