SOME ESSENTIALS
IN SETTING HENS
Fowl Should Be Of Quiet Demean-
or and Steadfast Purpose
Squawky Kind Undesirable.

By A.. C. SMITH. Minnesota Experiment
5tation.)
II Is quite essential to choose a hen
OF quiet demeanor and steadfast pur-
pose to accomplish what she has UNI
dertaken. One OF the wild, noisy,
highty kind should not be considered
for a moment, for such a one Is almost
worse than none at all. Visit the
house at twilight. lift the hens that
are on the nest showing an inclination
to sit by the feathers OF the back.
One that flies from the nest and
squawks is not the kind you want. It
is possible, though. that she may tame
down a little in two or three days. SO
give her another trial.
The hen that, after being lifted a
little above the nest, is quick to re-
sumo her place and scolds you a little
for disturbing her, even perhaps picks
you in resentment, is the one you want
for the real business OF sitting. Re
move her to the box prepared for her
and shut her In until next morning,
when she should be allowed to come
of or be taken OF for food and drink.
She will probably return TO the nest
herself, and In case she does not, put
her back and try her TOR another "a
hours. II on the third trial she does
not return to her nest OF her own &C.
cord, discard her and try another.

Layers of lime or wood ashes around
beds OF plants will keep the slugs
and snails out OF the bed. Where they
are bad hand pick at night by the light
OF a lantern.
Dalmatian insect powder Is a fine
remedy for black flies and green lice
on plants. Give a light application
after a shower or when the plant is
wet with dew once a week on all sides.
For bark,lice on either ornamental
shrubs or trees and on fruit trees,
make q rather strong solution OF sal
soda and apply with a brush "a white
wash brush will do). Use the solution
plentifully all over the bark.
A layer OF lime applied TO the sur
face when the ground is dry and the
weather clear will sometimes drive
ants from their villages.

ALCOHOL AND HEALTH.

ALCOHOL AND HEALTH.
The records OF the hospitals In our
own and other countries testify to
the lowered vitality Of patients through
the use OF alcohol by their parents.
The Henry Phipps Institute for Con-
sumptives In Philadelphia reports that
mortality in 1908 was 80 per cent
higher In patients with alcoholic pa
rents than in those with n~on-alcoholic
parents, Doctor Arrivi found tuber.
culosis In 10 per cent OF drinkers
children and In only Is per cent OF
children OF non-drinkers. Doctor Laiti-
men found that children Of drinking
parents are backward from the start,
and in proportion to the drinking OF
the parents. From a large number II
cases examined It appears that IL per
cent OF the children OF a%bstaining pa
rents die in the first year, while %
per cent OF the children of moderate
drinking parents die the first year.
II both parents are alcoholics, one
child In five will become insane, one
child in three will be ~epileptic or
hysterical, one In seven will be born
deformed, only one In six will be nor
