.HATCH|NC EGGS IN
" OLD FASHION WAY
TIMELY SUGGESTIONS IN sELEc.
TON OF EGGS, NESTING PLACES,
AND FEEDING CHICKS BY a
POULTRY SPECIALIST.

When Matching eggs with hens, 1t Is
always desirable to select a quiet place
and make nest Of clean hay or straw
In shallow box or barrel laid on its
side. 1t is preferable to have this nest
on the ground If there is no danger Of
floods during rainy weather. Make
the nest big enough SO the eggs can
not be rolled out easily. In deep nests
there is danger of breaking eggs when
the hen leaves or gets on the hest.
Select quiet hen that has been
broody for several days and place her
on nest with a few Gull eggs or
nest eggs In it, and allow her to stay
on these eggs for two or three days
before giving her the eggs to be-
Matched.
1t is especially advisable to make
sure that the hen is free from lice
Lousy hens stand on the eggs and pick
instead Of keeping the eggs warm. Ii
the hen has lice dust her freely with
Persian insect powder or take bit OF
blue ointment the size of a pea and
rub 1t on the skin under the vent.
Both remedies can be bought at any
drug store, and are effective. Repeat
the treatment after nine or ten days
to kill the lice that hatch. Provide
feed and water where the hen can
leave the nest and get to them easily
Cracked corn and wheat make a good
feed.
Selecting Eggs.
The eggs for Matching should be
carefully selected from freshly laid
eggs that have not been chilled When
hens are not laying many eggs it is
advisable to put the eggs in dry
bran, small end down, leaving the up
per end or air space uncovered. Place
the box in a cool place that will not
drop below so degrees Fahrenheit. Sc.
lect eggs of uniform size, as they will
not be broken as easily in the nest. Do
not pick the largest eggs. Select the
average sizes, avoiding thin, thick or
irregular shells. Use nine to Is eggs,
depending on the size of the hen.
Test the eggs about the tenth or
holding them before lamp light in a
dark room, if an egg tester is not avail
able. Remove all clear eggs and sucn
dark eggs as show the contents to be
fluid, as these eggs will decay and IL
broken In the nest will prevent other
eggs from Matching.
Remove Bad Eggs.
1t Is advisable to remove all I'M
hatchable eggs, as 1t allows a better
chance for the fertile ones When
Matching begins, generally on the
twenty-first day for hen eggs, if
the hen is quiet leave the chicks until
all are Matched unless the hen has a
tendency to leave the nest with the
first few Matched. 1t is decidedly the
best to give the chicks water but with
hold feed for at least 48 hours.

"The great war in Europe has

The Orphan Boys Home campaign,
which began November goth, closed
with a rousing meeting at the West
Hotel last Saturday evening, when the
campaign was concluded, after it was
decided to add one extra day onto
the original period over which the
campaign was to extend. Reports
were made by the executive commit
tee. Complimentary notice was given
by the director, Charles ]. Sheffield, to
those who had in many ways contrib
uted to the success of the campaign.
Loving cups were presented to the
captains of the winning teams, two
going to the winning teams among
the women's divisions and two to the
mems divisions. Intense excitement
prevailed as the reports were read by
the captains of each team. Strong
rivalry was exhibited from the start
by the captains and members of the
different teams in an effort not only
to win the cup on the final day, but
to have the pennant placed ON a par
ticular table every evening indicating
that the team where the pennant was
displayed obtained the highest amount
ON that day.

highly pleased and gratified over the
success of the campaign. 1t was un

"FoR RATIONAL DEFENSE"

The first meeting of an organization,
which will soon spread to every large
city in the Union, was held last week
in Washington, when the newly form
ed Rational Defense League came to-
gether, took the slogan who will
pay for preparedness" and adopted
a platform, Of which the placing of
heavier taxes on those best able to
afford them, the conservation of natur.
al resources for the use of the Army
and Navy and the creation of con-
gressiOnal committee, to investigate
the possibility of aggressive war by 9TH
er nations against the United States,
are the principal planks.
Representative Edward Heating of
Colorado, addressed the gathering on
the subject, Taxing the Rich to Pay
for Preparedness" lie declared that
he would favor President Wilson's de-
fense program if the tax for better
defenses were put upon the shoulders
of the wealthy, and not otherwise;
that he favored the creation of "sa-
cred fund.- to be expended for defense,
and collected year by year, the per
capita tax to be determined by the
yearly needs of the army and navy,
and that he would make a pest" of
himself on the floor of the House by
asking "Who is going to pay for pre-
paredness?' If necessary.
"In all the band of estimable gentle
men who have been advocating big
ger army and navy" said Mr.. Heating,
mot one has signified his desire to
stand the necessary extra tax. The
poor man is already paying enough
taxes. Should he have an additional
burden or defense laid upon him,
when, If the drums rolled tomorrow,
he would be the first to march to the
front?

defense were adopted. you may be
sure the rich man would not wish an
extravagant program, and that with
his power over industry and the press,
he would constitute himself an audi

THE DEATH OF THE VERY REV
JOHN sPENSLEY, D. D.

Rev. DR.. John Spensley, president of
the Cardinal Gibbons Memorial Hall
at the Catholic University, died at
Providence Hospital, Washington, D.
c., on December 9th, as result of
heart troubles and consequent compli-
cations.
DR.. Spensley was born in Galena,
ILL.,, in 1872, of non-Catholic parents.
He was a descendant of the we'll
known Crozier family of France, and
received his early education at Albany
Academy. In 1884, he entered the
Catholic Church with his mother, and
later became an ecclesiastical student
at the North American College, Rome,
where he was ordained priest in 1894
for the diocese of Albany, and in the
same year received from the Propa-
ganda College the degree of Doctor of
Divinity.
After serving for several years in his
own diocese, he entered the Catholic
University in 1903 at the call of it's
then Rector, Bishop O'Connell, and
was attached to the administration
staff until the present time. He was
for several years President of Albert
Hall, but when the Cardinal Gibbons
Memorial Hall was opened in 1911,
DR.. Spensley was promoted to it's pres
idency. In this capacity, he had con-
stantly one hundred and thirty young
men under his care, coming from all
parts of the United States. Without
exception he endeared himself to this
large body of undergraduates by his
fatherly solicitude and constant devo-
tion to their interests.

ENTHUSIASM MARKS THE CLOSE
0FORPHAN BOYS HOME CAMPAIGN

quence, the donations were divided
among many enterprises. In spite
of this practically $4,000 will be
placed at the disposal of the Orphan
Boys Home. Mr.. Sheffield is an ener-
getic and successful worker and has
conducted many successful campaigns.
His wide experience, his enthusiasm
and personal magnetism are big fac
tors in the success of any campaign
in which his services are enlisted. Mr..
Sheffield will leave on Thursday of
this week for his home in Cleveland,
Ohio, where he will rest until after
the holidays, when he will organize a
campaign in Washington, D. c.; re.
turning from Washington, D. c., to Du-
luth, where campaign will be car
ried on In the interest of the hospital
at that place under the direction of
Bishop McGolrick. At the close of the
campaign at Duluth, Mr. Sheffield will
direct campaign in the interest of
the orphanage at Pittsburgh, Pa. From
thence he will go to Tulsa, Okla, to
put on campaign for the Holy Family
parish ut Tulsa, the Rev. John G.
Herring, is pastor of the parish. From
Tulsa, Okla, Mr. Sheffield will go to

for the benefit of st. Johns Hospital,
under the direction of Bishop O'Rielly.
Early in September he will return to
st. Paul, where he will organize
campaign in interest of the House Of
Good Shepherd. The three campaigns
which Mr.. Sheffield has arranged to
conduct since the conclusion of his
campaign in Minneapolis speaks we'll

campaign manager.
The loving cups presented to the
winners were presented personally by
Archbishop Ireland. His Grace com.
plimented all those who by the sacri-
flee Of time and effort had contributed
to the success Of the campaign and
whose generous donations had placed
the orphanage on sound financial
basis. The best of feeling prevailed
and the successful teams received the
