OF SETTING HEN
Nothing Win Dislodge Perfectly
Hard Working Matron.
Box or Barrel Laid on Side, Painted
Inside With Carbolineum or Some
Other Good Lice Paint, Is
Suitable Nest.

(By PROF. JOHN WILLARD BOLTE.)
A setting e. is a perfectly respect
able hard working maIron, suffering
from an acute attack of spring fever.
She will not work, she refuses to lay
or ever talk about it, and she devel-
ops a very Grabbed disposition in a
remarkably short length of time. Seek
ing out some chosen nest she k
possession, by force, if necessary, and
proceeds to occupy it for about %
hours and % minutes every day. She
leaves it secretly and in silence, only
when food is necessary. Having sat
isted her wants, she suddenly remem
bers that ~gunguarded nest, and makes
for 1t with great speed and confusion.
1t 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 75 consecutive
days, and coming off the nest reluc-
family and in good health at the end
of that time.
The best way to detect a 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
worthless eggs in the Matching quar-
tiers, as they d. harm in the regular
laying pens by partially incubating
o-~- 1-I G-I%,~x ,,;tl oil thn nthnr
hens.
Almost any concave nest, we'll 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 h 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 hen and the
season. Thirteen in cold weather and
Is in warm, is about right for a
Plymouth Rock hen.
Keep whole cor and pure water at
hand and let the hen take care of her
self. The chicks usually begin to
hotoh On tho tuartv-E ret dow I OF fhorn
alone until the night Of the twenty
second day. Then move her and the
chicks to a warm, dry coop n do
not feed the chicks until the twenty
fourth day. I
1t is a good plan to set two hens
at the same time and give all of the
chicks to one hen after they are
Matched.

SEEK COLO Thieves
Mines of Africa Said to Lose
100000 Yearly.
Detectives Sent to London for Purpose
Of Running Down Heads Of Syn
dictate Which Has Been
Operating for Years.

London.-It is known that several
members of the Transvaal secret serv-
ice have just arrived in London for the
purpose of running down the heads OF
"a supposed syndicate which for years
has been robbing the Rand mines Of
gold TO the tune of $4,000, 900 annual
ly. Worst of all, there has not been a
single conviction for theft in all the
time.
There are various forms of gold
transit" but the latest and the most
successful is that. of converting the
struggled metal into process blocks
and dispatching them frankly from
Johannesburg to England to certain
prearranged addresses. A gold process
block looks very much like a heavy
electro" and the open amer in
which the thieves went to work as
sisted in throwing the police off their
guard.
1t seems that of the principals en-
gagged in this precious system in Jo-
hannesburg vas a woman, who re-
ceived the unwrought meta from mine
employees, appraised it, and paid for it.
So far she has eluded the vigilant
secret service" specialists n is liv-
ing in luxury on her business"
Ever since the opening of the gold
mining industry on the Rand" said a
detective connected with the case, ut
was found necessary, SO soon as things
had been made more or less ship
shape, to get the government to pass
a special law to deal with gold stealing.
In spite of this, the percentage of loss
by theft grew greater. The abstrac-
ton of gold became a fine art. 1t was
not stolen by the professional thief,
but, more often than not, by trusted
employees in the mines.
Most Of the gold was, and is, stolen
in the form of amalgam, plated in a
highly scientific name either by
%scraping the metal from the battery
plates with a small knife, or fishing
for it with a thin copper wire"
Douglas Blackburn, in his book on
Secret Service in South Africa" de-
scribes many ways and methods of
stealing and smuggling gold-but the
