DISCOURAGE A SITTER

Capacity of Hens.
Stat Coops Not So Immediately Effec-
tive as Old Treatment of Placing
Under Barrel, but They
Don't Hurt Fowls.

Just as long as the broody hen is
permitted to sit in the nest and keep
herself warm she will persist in sit
ting. So long as her body is in q
state of considerable heat she in
stinctively fights to remain on the
nest.
1t is nature trying to help the hen
carry out the purpose for which she
was created.
There are some weeks in the year
when it seems to me that every hen
on the place is trying to sit. Tur-
keys, geese, chickens, ducks and
guineas follow the same instructive
lines at about the same time, to the
utter distraction of the poultry keep.

EMPEROR MADE GUESTS PAY
Old German Ruler sst Example Of
Strictest EcofofAy-Put Out
Lights himself.

Berlin .-Those who have just as
sisted at the brilliant festivities which
marked the imperial wedding and who
remembered the court Of Berlin in the
past cannot but have been struck with
the extraordinary difference between
the strict simplicity Of that day and its
present regal state: So ingrained were
the habits of economy with the old Fm-
peror william that even after he had
assumed the imperial crown they
never deserted him. The emperor gave
the example. He always extinguished
the candles himself and lowered the
lamps before he left any room. Wher
at Ems or Baden guests invited to join
the emperor at dinner at some restau
rant were often embarrassed at the
end Of the meal to discover that it was
