miserable in the chilly air and on the
damp ground, and don't feel like
working and following the old hen.
A hen with chicks should have a
little brooder house just the same as
If she were an artificial brooder. The
room where the chicks might work
and scratch ought to be sunny and
dry and warm. The old hens COM
pany is not warmth to the chicks
when they are out from under her;
and they must be out from under her
a great deal of the time if they are to
make large thrifty birds. A little
brooder house or large sunny coop
with artificial heat in it will save

torney General Poe.
Governor Goldsborough, following
the advice of Attorney General Edgar
Allan Poe, ignored the action of the
State Senate in making two appoint
ments to the State School Board.
These appointments were:
HARRY SHRIVER, Cumberland.
DIR. JOHN o. SPENCER, of Nor
gan College, Baltimore
Mr.. Shriver was appointed by the
Governor during the session of the
Senate to succeed Clayton PurneIl.
Both are Democrats and both are resi-
dents of Allegany county. The Sen
ate refused to act on the appointment
of Mr.. Shriver. The effect of this ac-
tion, or rather, lack of action, was to
continue Mr.. Purnell in office.
The appointment of DR.. Spencer was
made before the Senate convened. He
was named to succeed Col. W. S.
Powell. It was a recess appointment.
1t, therefore, went before the Senate
in the regular routine of business for
action. 1t was rejected. Despite this
action, the Attorney General advised
the Governor that he had the power
to name him. The reappointment was
accordingly made.

Capt. William F. Fullam, superintend-

the June week commencement exer-

BRooDER FOR LITTLE CHICKS
Mother Hen Should Be Given Nice
Light Place, Dry and Warm
Comfort Is Great Thing.

The hen with early chicks is given
the poorest chance in the world lar
caring for her brood. She is gener-
ally confined with the little ones for
a few days in coop with bars where
they can run out and in. The coop is
only a small thing, rather dismal and
dark. She is hardly ever given nice,
well lighted place, dry and warm,
and with chaff and straw on the floor
where the chicks can scratch and
work without freezing the life out of
them. Some folks will say that the
hen is always there to warm them up
when they want warmth; but what
would you think of an artificial sys-
TEN of brooding that would keep
close little hoover in reach of the
chicks all the time, but without any
warm place where the chicks might
work and eat?
Every year you see the old hens
clucking around the place with the
little brood with her, crying and
cold, and begging the old brooder to
stop. In early spring the weather is
