festival takes the form Of children's
entertainments in the Jewish religious
schools and institutions throughout
the city. and many # these will be

Farm Help.

The solution of the farm help prob
lem lies largely with the farmers
themselves, according to my way of
thinking. If farmers will arrange
their work or reorganize their meth
DDS so they can keep men all the year
around instead of picking up Tom,
Dick and Bill as they stray out into
the country during the rush season or
harvest, pay all they can afford, give
the men good living quarters and help
them to keep out Of the mire of ignor-
ance and Indifference by encouraging
the better side of their nature, they
will not only secure a much higher
type Of workman, but perform a real
service to humanity Just keep in
mind that we are brothers all-rich
and poor, farmer and hired man-and
that every man is entitled TO square
deal.-A Hired Man.

WHAT INCUBATOR
TO BUY
ByA. G.. Philips, Animal Husbandry Depart
ment, Purdue Experiment Station,
Purdue University Agricultural Extension

The use of the incubator for the
Matching Of eggs on the farm is fast
increasing in popularity and useful
ness. Statistics show that about 80
per cent. of Indiana farmers hatch
their chicks artifciefly.
One question that constantly arises
is-What is the best incubator TO buy2
Any one will find IL difficult problem
to answer this question satisfactorily

arise which might influence the value
and usefulness of any machine. Elk

neighbor has discarded. and vice

machines, while others feel that the

PROTECT THE HONEY MAKERS
Bees Should Have Neither Wind or
Sunshine During Winter-Empty
Building Is Best.

Put your bees In a sheltered place
until next spring. They should be
sheltered from both the wind and the
sun. Probably the best place to keep
them through the winter is in an
empty building. There is no danger
Of bees freezing in the coolest
winter if they are protected from
the wind. When not protected during
a blizzard they are often frozen by
the chilling wind. If the sun strikes
them a cold spell coming Immediate
ly after warm weather finds the bees
unprepared for 1t. Changes in tenn
perature also cause the bees to eat
more honey than when an even tenn
perature is maintained. Thus, If the
food supply is short, there is danger
Of them starving before spring flow.
ers bloom.
When an empty building is not
available straw is often packed around
the hive and held in place by box a
little larger than the hive. This is
not so satisfactory as the first method
suggested, for bees are often forgot
ten after snow storm and are smoth-
cred before the snow melts from the
entrance. If they are given plenty of
food and good protection in the fall
and then left alone there will be Wig
orous swarm ready to make honey in
the spring.

Having secured the outfit the first
thing is to "tin" the point. To do
this, file the beveled surface down

such an analysis the sample must be
carefully taken so as to fairly repre-
sent the bulk of the material. This
is especially true Of ground limestone
where the state of fineness is OF much
Importance and the finer material Is
apt to sift toward the bottom.
In connection with crop rotation
and soil fertilization experiments
with wheat, In which the different
elements are used alone and in vari-
Gus combinations, chemical studies OF
the composition of the grain are car
ried on, With particular reference to
the effects of the fertilization on the
protein content.
A somewhat similar investigation
has been carried on with Irish pota-
toes for the past five years. Potatoes
are grown on different soil types, each
receiving various fertilizers and ma
nurial treatments Chemical analysis
and cooking tests of samples from
field plats and pot cultures are an
nually made to determine the effect
of soil and fertilizer upon composition
and quality.
Along with leguminous crop studies
of various kinds, the nitrogen In the
tops and roots of soy beans and COW
peas grown as catch crops after wheat
is determined each year and a study
is being made Of the variation In the
nitrogen content Of soy beans grown
on inoculated and uninoculated soils.
Another interesting line Of chemical
work is that in connection with the
! selective breeding of corn for higher
protein content In which analysis OF
large numbers of seed ears are made
and the selection Of ears for planting
based upon the composition.
Many miscellaneous materials come

Chemistry, as 1t Is applied to agri-
stood by the public of all subjects re-
lated to farm practice. Many fncor-
rect ideas are prevalent even among
our most progressive farmers. We
often hear farmers say: IF l could
only have my soil analysed, Id know
what kind of fertilizer to use" Now
this, according to the best authorities,
is q wrong conception. Soil analysis
still holds an important place in agri-
culture, but must be used with judg-
ment and not practiced promiscuous-
ly. 1t is of great value in determining
soil types and in the study OF special
problems related to soil fertility, but
1t must be considered In connection
with the various other factors in
fiuencing soil fertility, namely: eli
matte and seasonal conditions, rota-
ton of crops, physical character OF
the soil, plant diseases, and insect
pests and other factors Of more or
less local application. The fertilizer
requirements OF particular soil can
best be determined by field plot fer
tiliZer test such as has been recon-
mended for several years past in bull
letins, circulars, letters and lectures
which have gone out from the expert
ment station. In connection with the
