The Selection And Manaoen1ent Or Sittine Hens
Hen-Hatched Chicks Are Preferred by Many
 POultrymen
Fly PROF. F. H. sroNEpURN

Copyright, 1914. by Geo A McDevitt Co
 Many experienced growers of poultry express a decided preference for chicks hatched by the natural method. Even where artificial incubation must be largely used, some hens are commonly set in order to secure hen-hatched cock erels for breeding purposes. The back yard poultfyman usually adopts the nat ural method exclusively.
 The efficiency of sitting hens varies Much depends upon the hen herself and much upon the way she is treated. some factors which influence in large degree the results secured from the use of hens for incubating purposes. "HERE seems to exist a widespread
 belief that hen-hatched chickens
 \ are stronger, have greater vital ity than those produced by artificial methods of incubation. That this idea is founded on fact is matter which is open to debate, but anyone who- wishes to play safe will do well to . hatch a portion of his chicks in the good old-fashioned way.
 On large plants the incubator is an absolute necessity; on small plants it is 8 convenience. When properly con- structed and carefully operated it does it's work well. And the quality of the chicks it produces is, after all, deter mined iii very large degree by the quality of eggs entrusted to it. A good incubator- matched chick is to be pre- fered to a poor hen matched chick, and vice versa.
 There is an art in the selection and handling of sitting hens. Some hens are so flighty and nervous. some are so heavy and clumsy that they should not be used for the work of rearing fam ilies Others are quiet and dependable, seldom break eggs or crush chicks, and such are valuable to the poultryman who uses the natural method of hatch ing and brooding. In fact, some poul- Iymcn retain hens of this character from year to year, long after they have passed the period of profitable egg pro- way by successfully rearing one or more good broods of chicks each sea- son.
 Hens of virtually all breeds will be- come broody and hatch chicks if given an opportunity. In the nonsitting breeds, as the Leghorns, Minorcas etc, the tendency towards hroodiness has been largely obscured, but a certain percent age of the females of such breeds become broody each season. Because of their excitable, nervous temperament, such

CRIMINAL COURT OF
COUNTY MAKES GOOD
RECORD THIS MONTH
JUDGE M'kNiGHT AND ASSIST
ANTS SECURE CONVICTIONS
IN "a OF rs CASES.
9 BOOTLEGEERS To COUNTY ROAD
New Jury Law Has Added to the
Efficiency and Celebrity of Trial of
cases-A Few Appeals to the Su-
preme Court.

A careful resume of the cases tried
at the January term of the criminal
court shows that of the twenty-five
which have come up before Judge
Mcknight, convictions have been Sc.
cured in all but one. The docket
speaks in eloquent terms of the care
full and diligent work of the presid
ing judge, J. Trim Mcknight, and his
able assistant, County Attorney Joe
Whitthorne, in the care Of the coun.
tvs business. 1t also speaks well for
the new jury commission, which has
secured jurors of the highest type,
who heard and rendered speedily
their decisions. There has not been
single mistrial or hung jury.
Analysing the different misdemean.
ors, the docket shows that there were
twelve cases for carrying weapons,
nine for selling liquor without license,
two for larceny, one for assault and
battery, and one for profanity. In
many of the cases, the defendants
simply submitted without trial and
threw themselves upon the mercy of
the court. A conviction was secured
in every bootlegging case, and in all
the weapon cases. In the former con-
victions carried a sentence of six
months and $50 for costs. AS the
latter will probably be worked out on
the road, the workhouse will have
several inmates who will be on the
rock pile for about ten months. They
should contribute considerably to the
building of fine system of pixies for
the county. The only case in which
a conviction was not secured was that
of negro, who proved to the jury's
satisfaction that he was only carry
ing his razor to tho barbershop to
have it sharpened.
AS result of the vigorous work of
Judge Mcknight and his assistants,
the town has almost been cleaned up
of the crowd of bootleggers that has
infested the city for the past few
They have come to respect
the majesty of the law and know that
they can no longer ply their nefarious
trade without molestation by the
county officers.

BIG POPULATION
AT WORK HOUSE
LARGER NUMBER OF INMATES
THERE THAN THERE HAVE
BEEN IN YEARS.

AS the result of the recent term OF
the criminanl court in which there
were more than the usual number Of
convictions, Maury county's work
house now contains more inmates
than it has ever held in many years.
There are today fifty-four inmates of
the work house, and the force working
on the new road from the county line
west toward Columbia in the fourth
district, has been greatly augmented.
Not since the new road commission
law went into effect several years
ago has there been anything like the
large population at the work house
that is now confined there. The gen.
eral average OF inmates is about thir.
ty-fve, showing an increase of fifty
per cent ... ,

tin, from interfering with the COM
plainants in the pursuit of their bust
ness and the carrying out of their
contract. The injunction was issued
by Judge Mcknight, and served on the
defendants Immediately by Sheriff
Goodwin.
The bill, which is Of some length,
goes into the contract that was en-
tered into by the parties some years
ago. 1t recites that the complain
ants are operating a hotel and restau-
rant in building owned by the de-
PENDANTS. In 1910, the property was
leased by Mrs. Martin and daughter
to ]. R. Patton for years and
months, or until Jan. l, 1915.
On May %, 1911, the lease was by
the consent Of all the parties con.
cerned transferred to w. P. Jackson
& Co., who assumed the contract on
the same terms as the former lessee.
On Jan. 5, 1914, the building was
partially destroyed by fire, but the
loss was soon adjusted by the insur-
ance companies, and the necessary re-
pairs were made for the continued
use Of the building for business pur-
poses. However, the compliments
assert that the defanants have done
all in their power to destroy their
business, have publicly stated that
the contract was voided by a clause
therein which asserted that
the contract was without ef-
feet in case Of complete
loss by fire, and have even entered
into negotiations with other parties
for the lease of the property for a
term of five years from the present
time. They claim that they have paid
their rent regularly and that as they
have built up by hard work a good
business they should not be deprived
Of the fruits thereof before the expi.
ration of their contract on Dec. 81,
1914. They prayed that the defend
ants should be restrained from inter
fering with them until that time, and
that all contracts made by them be.

void. WI
