POULTRY POINTERS.

Eggs during the period of incubation
especially where the natural method is
used, often become soiled, and it is nee
essary to clean them. For this purpose g
pan of water heated to a temperature oil
| from 100 to l03 degrees should be used
but in no case should the water be hotter
then l03 degrees After the eggs have
been in the water a short time they can
generally be cleaned with the hands, but
care should be used to avoid jarTing.
After the dirt has been removed, rub
with dry cloth and place back into the
nest but not until new nesting material
has been supplied. Some persons remove
the dirt with alcohol but | like the water
better. Don't place too many eggs in the
pan at one time as they may strike to-
gether and crack, thus spelling them.
A good form OF exercise to furnish the
hens, and at the same time supplying
them with a quantity of green food, is to
hang a head of cabbage on a string from
the roof of the scratch shed, at a height
to be just out of reach of the hens By
being compelled to jump slightly from
the ground to partake of the cabbage, to
gether with its swinging away from them
gives both exercise and amusement and
Is a decided help to the birds.
The presence of the male bird slightly
decreases the egg yield. 1t is therefore
good thing to sell, kill or confne all such
hindrances to a good egg yield as soon as
the breeding season is over. The absence
of the male from the flock also insures
the production of infertile eggs which are
more desirable far market purposes than
fertile ones as they will keep a much
longer period.
When possible, feed the youngsters as
well as the laying hens all the skim milk |
they can consume. With the old hens it |
helps wonderfully in increasing the egg
weld, while with the youngsters it is /
equally valuable for their development.
Milk in any of its forms is good and can
usually be supplied at a small cost.
Don't lose sight of the fact that it is
the early hatched pulets that make the
fall and winter layers, more so than the
holdovers. Get a good start, keep the
pulets growing all the time. and you will
be repaid for your trouble when next
winter rolls aroHnd.
Milford chronicle., 1915-02-12

The advantage of the two section trap
nest is that, until they become accus'
toned to them, the hens will naturally
fight to get out Where the trap nest is
made with a single compartment, many
eggs may be broken by the hen in her
scramble TO get out, and often they ac-
quire the habit of egg eating.
With the two compartment nest this
will not happen as the bird rarely goes
back into the nest proper when once she
has laid and steps into the outer section
After two or three times of liberating,
however, the bird will become reconciled
TO the trap nest and no further trouble
will he experienced With the use of
the trap nest, however, it is necessary
that one make frequent trips to the hen
house to liberate the birds co as not to
keep them shut up for long period.
During the hours of from 8 a. M until
2 p. m the birds should be liberated
every half hour, and after that time,
every hour will probably be sufficient
Then too, where the trap meets are used
in a poultry house where all the birds
are housed together, ample provision
should be made. More nests are required
for flock than open nests as in the lat
ter case, one or more hens can go on the
same nest at the same time and ley. This
is not the case, however, with the traps
and thus more Of them must be provided.

Not Guilty.

We have received the following
letter from G. w. Tape, manager of
the Hot Lake Sanatorium. in which
we are accused of printing a news
item to the effect that Hot Lake froze
over during a recent cold snap. We
publish the letter in full:
Hot Lake, Ore, Jan. l, 1915.
Editor GaZette-Times,
Heppner, Oregon.
Dear SIR
A cold weather story, absolutely
untrue, has been published in nearly
all leading papers of the Northwest
including The Gazette-Times to the
effect that Hot Lake has frozen over
and the guests are skating on it.
/ wonder the romancer did not add
that a skater broke through the ice
and scalded his feet. There is not a
word of truth in the article.
There is a small pond near Hot
Lake which freezes every winter, but
Hot Lake itself has lever yet been
affected by the weather, and on the
coolest day this season the steam
from the surface of the lake could be
seen for miles.
Will you kindly aid me in nullify-
ing the effect of such libel on this old
natural wonder of the North West.
Yours truly,
G.. w. TAPE,
Manager.

sure, while out OF range of the guns
of the forts the Krupp party had only
to load. and fire in as safe and pro-
sale a manner as ii they were placing
dynamite charges in e~Xcavating a
subway. After they had finished
with Liege, they moved to Namur.
If the Japanese had had the Krupp
party along. they would have taken
Port Arthur in two weeks instead of
two months and at a loss of ten or
fifteen thousand men instead of a
hundred thousand; such is the value
of human life beside the power of
modern industry when it turns to
destruction. From Namur, the
Krupp cavaran, with its strong trac-
tion-engines, moved to Maubeuge and
then to Antwerp.
The German infantry gained con-
fdence from the superiority of their
artillery. Iron crosses were given to
the Krupps mere prodigally than to
the aristocratic officers of the Ger
man cavalry. Some satire in that.
1t shows that war is grim work, with
an emphasis on work.
The Krupp party had never APP
peared at an imperial review; it had
no military etiquette or discipline eX-
cept of an industrial organization. 1t
had been fulfilling a business con-
tract in destruction. Another nation
may know how to make those guns,
it may have in~exhaustible funds in
its treasury and great steel works of
its own, but the element of time is
against it. The German siege-guns
are made; the Allies are to be made.
There would be a hundred million
dollars waiting for anybody who
could produce a score of these guns
in time for spring delivery. The AL
lies will need the guns in going
against German Notifications in the
spring campaign. But no works on
earth can produce such guns inside
of a year.
