.fhe University Free dispensary which
has been attracting attention recently
was the chief subject of discussion at
an Informal dinner given at the Country
club last night.
DR.. Lewis c. Norris acted as toast
master or master of ceremonies and

was DR.. George H. Denny, president of

Some of those present were familiar
with the important work that the Uni
versity Free dispensary is doing in Bir-
mingham and those who had not been
informed were impressed with the illumi-
mating addresses made by DR.. Harrison,
DR.. Morris and others.
1t was brought out very clearly that
the dispensary needed financial aid. 1t
was suggested by one of the speakers
that as the Vanderbilt university had
rejected Mr.. Carneges offer of s1000.OOO
for its medical department a similar offer
might be made to Birmingham and ac-
cepted. While no one present was au-
thorized to speak for Mr.. Carnegie it
seemed n he lN a bat ha
multi-millionaire philanthropst would be
glad to donate a large sum ito medical
work in the Birmingham district: and
the free dispensary was regarded as an
institution likely to appeal to Mr. Car
negie's generosity.
Nearly all those who attended the din
ner spoke enthusiastically in behalf of
the free dispensary and everyone pledged

PRESIDENT TAKES
EXPLORING TRIP

Cornish, \. H., July 11.-President Will
son went exploring in his automobile to-
day lie took an unfrequented road and
his big car picked its way slowly and
cautiously over mountain ridge The
trip was made without mishap and the
view of the surrounding hills amply re-
paid the President for the humping he got,
as both he and Mrs. Wilson saw the green
mountains from unusual vantage points
On one occasion the Presidents machine
came to a natural stop and moved off the
road entirely into a front yard. Half OF
the road had just been covered with oil
and the other half was blocked by a
team. In order TO avoid getting out of
the machine, the President suggested that
his car drive over a little knoll into a
front yard near farmhouse until the
team had passed. 1t was this incident
which led to a report that the President
mad plunged over an embankment, mar
rowly escaping injury.

CARE OF SETTING HEN
Nothing Will Dislodge Perfectly
Hard-Workinq Matron.
Box or Barrel Laid on Side, Painted
= inside With csrbollneum or Some
Other Good Lice Paint, Is
Suitable Nest.

CBy PROF. JOHN WILLARD BoLTE.)
A setting hen is a perfectly respect
able hard working matron. suffering
from an acute attack of spring fever.
She will not work. she refuses to lay
or even talk about It. and she devel-
ops very grabbed disposition in a
remarkably short length of time. Seek
ing out some chosen nest she takes
possession. by force, II necessary, and
proceeds to occupy it for about 20
hours and IS minutes every day. She
leaves II secretly and in silence, only
when food is necessary. Having sat
isfied her wants, she suddenly remem-
bers that unguarded nest, and makes
for it with great speed and confusion.
II matters not whether the nest con-
tains eggs or a doorknob, it is dear to
her, and nothing will dislodge her.
There she will hold the fort until
her motherly longing is satisfied in
a brood of little downy peppers. The
writer once Matched three successive
broods of chicks under the same hen,
the hen setting for IS consecutive
days, and coming off the nest reluc-
family and in good health at the end
of that time.
The best way to detect broody
hen is to look through the nests after
dark and see whether there are any
hens on them. If so, they should eth
er be brought up or placed on some

tiers, as they do harm in the regular
laying pens by partially incubating
eggs and fighting with all the other
hens.
Almost any concave nest, well lined
with hay, will do for setting a hen.
Take a box, or barrel laid on its side,
paint it inside with carbolineum or
some other good lice paint, and form
the nest out of earth with two inches
of hay covering it,
Be sure to get the corners filled so
that the eggs cannot roll into them.
Have the edge of the box not over
three inches higher than the eggs, so
that the hen will not jump on them.
Dust the hen with insect powder, place
her on the nest on some dummy eggs.
and cover her with another. ventilated
box. Let her off in "a hours, and If
she goes back again, it will be safe to
put good eggs under her.
Use an odd number of eggs, depend
ing upon the size of the her and the
season. Thirteen, IN cold Z &c and
II in warm, is about RI J4r a
Plymouth Rock hen.
Keep whole corn and pure water at
hand and let the hen take care ff her
self. The chicks usually BEGIN to
hatch on the twenty-first day. Let ,hem
alone until the night of the twenty
second day. Then move her and the
chicks to a warm, dry coop and do
not feed the chicks until the twanty-
fourth day.
1t is a good plan to set two hens
at the same time and give all of the
chicks to one hen after they lare
Matched.

II eggs, while Matching, become
soiled and it is necessary to clean
them. a basin OF warm water at tenn
perature of 1903 degrees Fahrenheit
should be used. but not above this, a
little less being better than a greater
degree. The eggs should be pur into
this water and the dirt gently removed
after soaking and washing with the
hands. then dried with a cloth and put
back in the nest. which should be first
renewed with clean hay. II not badly
soiled they may be cleaned by gently
scraping with knife or with the fin
gers. Care is necessary to avoid crack
ing the shell or Earring the egg. az
such an injury will destroy the posi-
bility OF a hatch.

Decidedly Improbable.

not so WELL If she is bred too young
or is too fat at the time OF breeding,
the first litter, at least, will probably
be small in number.
The breeder must know the type OF
animal he desires and select with that
in view. II the offspring of a given
sire have predominating characteris-
tics of the kind approved. by all
means breed this sire to his best
daughters, and if his points of merit
are prepotently fixed one can expect
to secure the proper offspring.
Do not scoff at pedigree, fer it
means the record of the blood OF your
herd. Also, do not pay money for a
pedigree. but spend it literally for
the ideal hog with a pedigree equal
to his merits. There is abundant
chance for selection from prolific
swine. The young SOW may farrow
a. -. !f,rr -welve to sixteen months OF
age. A mature SOW should produce
twelve to eighteen pigs a year. which
will give you plenty of stock to select
from.
