NEW YoRK STOCK EXCHANGE

New York, April 15.-The stock
market today was free from the un
settlement Of the preceding session
Price movements at first we're uncer
tain, but there was no evidence OF
aggressive selling. The market grad
ua1ly hardened. Trading was almost
Is per cent smaller during the fore
noon
The demand was not large enough
to impair sustained strength, and
before noon the list sold off, influ-
.enced by heavy selling Of Union Pa
cific and weakness of some of the
southern and southwestern railroad
shares. Bonds were irregular.
Scale buying checked the de-
cline after many stocks had fallen be-
low yesterdays close. Union Pacific
sagged to 154M before rallying.
Prices rose steadily when the bears
were defeated in their efforts to bring
about further liquidation. Union Pa
uific recovered fully. steel and Read
ing gained half a point.
The market closed steady. Specu-
latiYe interest converged on the city
bond sale and little influence was ex-
erted by a drive against Lehigh VAL

The period of time 1t takes to hatch
eggs of the domestic hen is Fl days,
according to Farmers bulletin 562 Of
the department of agriculture. There
are two methods Of incubation and
brooding, namely, natural and artifi-
cial In natural incubation and brood
ing the hen is allowed to sit on a
nest of eggs and brood or mother the
young chicks when Matched. The In
formation contained on this subject Is
based on the belief that the average
farmer has little use for an incubator
or brooder unless he intends to hatch
and rear chicks unusually early In the
spring or In large numbers; therefore
only the natural method of incuba-
ton and brooding will receive atten-
ton at this time.
AS the time approaches for the hens
to become broody or sit. IL care is
taken to look in the nests it will be
seen that there are few soft downy
feathers being left there by the hens;
also, the hens stay longer on the nests
when laying at this time. and on being
approached viii quite likely remain
on the nest, rufiing their feathers and
pecking at the intruder. When 1t is
noted that hen sits on the nest for
two or three nights in succession, she
is ready to be transferred to a nest
which should be prepared for her be-
forehand. This nest should be in a
box and composed of straw, hay, or
chaff for nesting material. Pack this

material down firmly and shape a cir
cular nest out of 1t which should be
slightly deeper in the center than at
the edges, as a nest so shaped will
prevent the eggs from rolling out from
under the hen and becoming chilled
Dust the hen thoroughly with insect
powder. In applying the powder. hold
the hen by the feet, head down. work
ing the powder well into the feathers,
giving special attention to regions
around the vent and under the wings.
The powder should also be sprinkled
in the nest. The nest should be in
some quiet, out-Ofthe-way place on
the farm, where the sitting hen will
not be disturbed. Move her from the
regular laying nest at night. Handle
her carefully in doing SO. Put a china
egg or two In the nest where she is
to sit, and place a board over the
opening so that she can not get on.
Toward evening of the second day, qui-
city go in where she is sitting. and
leave some feed and water, and re-
move the board from the front or top
of the nest, and let the hen come of
when she is ready. Should she re-
turn to the nest after feeding, remove
the china egg or eggs and put under
those that are to be incubated. In
