MATCHING AND eRooplNe.
BY kathrine Anterior Grimes.

The boy with ten to twenty fowls
will probably do most Of his Matching
with hens. But where the breed kept
is Of some non-sitting variety, the in.
cubator becomes almost a necessity,
especially II one wishes to get early
chicks-the only ones that pay well.
For flock of this size, a 50-eggs
machine is plenty large enough. aad,
as these may be had at quite small
cost, it is about as well to use one
Of these, and let the hens go on sit
ting. The eggs they will lay while
it is doing their Matching for them will
soon pay for the machine.
II an incubator is not used, the best
plan Is to get hold of some-two-year-
old hens, of one of the large, quiet
broods, and keep them just for sit
ting If they are fed for eggs from
November on, they will be ready for
business by March. Even with a
machine, half dozen hens Of this
kind will prove good investment, for
reasons which you will see little
farther on. They may be disposed Of
as soon as their work is done, so one
need not be out much except their
feed to secure their services during
the Matching season.
Those who have had considerable ex-
perience with incubators tell US that
hen-hatched chicks are usually the
most vigorous. Even the best incuba-
tor is likely to turn out few weakly
or crippled chicks with each hatch.
But the machine is far more likely
than the hen to behave well at the
critical time when the fluffy babies are
coming out Of the shell, SO, as the say
ing Is, it is about six Of one, and half
a dozen of the other"
A system that makes out to take
advantage Of the good points and
avoid the worst drawbacks of both,
has been devised, and carried out with
good results. The plan is to put the
eggs under the hens for the first two
weeks, and then remove them to the
incubator. and let 1t finish up the

THE DAY OLD CHICK INDUSTRY.
By Elizabeth Clark Hardy

There is good money In the day old
chick Industry, both to the buyer and
the seller. In going into the poultry
business the first lesson for the anna
teur tc learn is to make haste slowly,
instead of investing too much money
in an untried industry. woman may
raise few hundred chickens on a
small lot, without investing in an in
cubator and high priced eggs. It will
be much cheaper for her to buy day
old chicks, and in caring for them she
will learn some valuable lessons, and
gain fair working knowledge of
poultry business. In the spring there
will always be found advertisements
in the agricultural papers for the sale
of baby chickens, and these may be
bought with but little risk to the pur-
chaser, for If asy should die during
transportation the seller will always
replace them free Of cost
from to 20 cents, according to the
breed. 1t Is not advisable to buy the
cheapest grade as they usually come
from weak parent stock. and inferior
chicks are improbable to raise wheth-
er they come from the hatcheries or
are Matched at home. But It Is much
safer and cheaper to buy day old
chicks from a reliable dealer than to
buy eggs for Matching, as in buying
chicks you get guarantee of safe ar
rival and full count, while in buying
eggs you have to take your chances.
and sometimes they are disappoint-
ing
In starting in with day old chicks
one must, of course, understand some
thing about their care and feeding or
things will go wrong. but until one
has had some experience with an in
cubator things are likely to go
wrong, which is still more expensive.
and chick in the hands, worth two
eggs In the incubator.
OF course when chicks have been
ordered preparation for their care
must be made. Warm brooders must

GROWING AN AFRICAN KING
Civilized Rulers Would Not EMO,
This Ceremony In Way OF
Coronation.

The customs OF savage people make
I'D In curious picturesqueness what
they lack in dignity. Contrast, for
instance, their ceremonial with the
coronation of q British king or the In
duction Of duction Of President VIII
son into Office.
The king was chosen from among
the people by the elders, and he was
selected for his wisdom. The cere~
monies Of his enforcement were such
that he required not only wisdom, but
also courage, physical strength and
superb digestion. The mans first
intimation that he had been chosen by
the elders was an onrush OF the entire
tribe-not to do him honor, but to
abuse and insult him in every possible
way.
They would hurl opprobious
epithets at him, curse him, spit upon
him, pelt him with mud and beat him.
For. they said, from this time on hs
could do all these things to them and
they would be powerless to retaliate
1t was their last chance!
They also reminded him of all his
failings In graphic and minute particu-
lars. II the king survived this treat
ment, he was then taken to the for
mer kings house, where he was
solemnly invested with the insignia
of the king1y Office in the shape Of 3
silk hat No one except the king was
permitted to wear silk hat
Following the inauguration cere-
mony, the people came and bowed
before the new king In humble sub
mission, while they praised him as
enthusiastically as they had reviled
him. Then he was fed and reted for
D week, during which time he was
not permitted to leave his house, but
had to receive guests from all parts
Of his dominion ard eat with them all.
These ceremonies ended, he turned to
the comparatively easy and common
place duties of his kingly office. This
custom. like many others, has passed
away under the influence of ciViliza-

Selling Veal.

It is little short of a crime to
veal calves nowadays. There
has been a deplorable tendency
on the part of our farmers the
past few years to rush calves to
market or kill them as soon as
dropped: This has greatly linn
tied the supply of beef and has
been especially disastrous in some
dairy districts because dairymen
have held to the belief that the
milk was worth more than the
calves and that it was cheaper
to, buy dairy COWS than to raise
them. As a result of calf mar.
keting year after year we are
confronted with a shortage Of
beef and dairy cattle and if the
supply Is to be maintained in the
future il viii be necessary to
start raising more calves on every
farm. The killing of calves is a

Hog Plague in Bourbon.
New Disease Causing Growers
Heavy Losses There.

A deadly hog disease which
has caused considerable losses to
stock men in other parts of Bour-
Dor county has broken out north
east of Bronson according to the
Fort Scott Tribune. For lack OF
other name it is referred to as
the hog plague, and its serious
ness is illustrated by the fact
that John Camac has lost 60
head, nearly his entire herd. An
effort is being made to find a
serum that will stop the ravages
of the disease. The progress Of
the disease is described as fol-
lows:
Usually the first symptom OF
the disease to become evident is
loss of appetite. Then the hogs
become weak in the back, many
times entirely by losing the use
of their hind quarters. The
blood become enervated, and at.
tempts to bleed the animals for
relief have resulted in a flow of
only a few drops of a serum like
fluid. Many times the flesh &C
tually cracks, and some farmers
have told of the flesh of the an.
finals becoming as tender as If
had been steamed, the bristles
slipping of at a touch. The
consensus of opinion seems to be
that the disease affects the lungs
particularly. and some veterinar-
ians have ascribed il to hairs in
the lungs"
