BR0ODY HEN BOON TO OWNER
Profitable Results Need Not Be Elk.
pected Unless Hen Is Given Good,
Comfortable Nest.

The hen that becomes broody early
in the season is boon to her owner,
but no matter how good a mother she
may be, nor how fertile the eggs given
her, she cannot bring off good hatch
unless she is given a comfortable nest
"a nest which will not chill the eggs
from underneath.
Select a roomy box, from fifteen to
eighteen inches square, according to
the size of the hen, but no smaller
than fifteen inches.
Fill the bottom with two or three
inches of sifted coal ashes; cover
with heavy paper mat, Of paper that
has been we'll sprinkled with kero-
sene, as a preventive of mites then
make good nest of cut straw over
this.
A nest of this kind will retain the
heat of the hen, and the eggs will
keep at incubating temperature, but
nest OF boards with straw only
above them will chill the under part
of the eggs, sometimes delaying the
hatch a day or two, and weakening
the chicks that did hatch.

bats for rain water. The bottom of
the receiving basin will retain much
sediment which must be removed be-
fore reaching the openings into the

of heavy, Shiny nature, which makes
a good fertilizer for flower and vege-
table gardens. The sand and gravel
also becomes coated with a light
weight muck which retards the capac-
fly of the filter; however, the water
is purer after the sand has become
partially coated The sand must be
renewed or removed and washed from
one to six times q year, depending
upon the amount of impurities con-
tanned in the water. The charcoal,

Construction Of Filter Win Solve
Farm Problem.
Most Practical Size Is Four Feet

The capacity of the filter illustrated
is large and may be constructed Of
sufficient width to receive the flow of
an entire brook where It enters the
farm, thus insuring pure water for
all purposes, as stock, steam boilers
aud household use, writes H. Clock in
Modern Farmer.
The hitter may be made quite small,
but the most practical size is four feet
deep, eight feet long and as wide as
capacity may require, calculating
about five gallons per minute per
every foot width. The capacity, how
ever, depends much upon the condi-
ton Of the water to be filtered. The
bottom, sidewalks and partitions
should be six inches thick, made of
one part cement, three parts sand and
four parts aggregates, which must be
poured or tamped into wood forms

FEED TO INDUCE EGG LAYING
Morning Meal Made of Bran and

Bran and shorts mixed and softened
with hot water make a good morning
meal. Boiled potatoes and oat meal
mush also are excellent. Ground
bone ought to be made a regular ar
ticle Of diet.
The fowl should have a chance for
exercise and this is gained by hav.
ing a layer Of straw on the floor to
hide the grain and also by suspend
ing green cabbages or pieces Of meat
far enough from the floor so that they
are compelled to jump to reach the
food. A meal Of wheat or corn is
to be given late in the afternoon.
All kinds Of roots chopped fine and
fed raw are relished. Either parched
corn or charcoal is one OF the essen

ALFALFA GOOD HORSE FEED

Alfalfa is an excellent horse feed,
but is must be fed with judgment and
care.
Because of its palatability mature

The average farm horse at hard
work is allowed to eat much more al

Iy needs TO maintain his weight.
One pound of alfalfa or other hay
and about one and onefourth pound
of grain q day for every 100 pounds of
the horses weight make a good ra-
ton for the working horse.
Horses like alfalfa stems. Refuse
from the cattle racks is very accepta-
BILE to horses.
II is best to feed mature horses first
and second cutting alfalfa which is
free from mold and dust.
Never feed wet alfalfa hay to
horses.
