For their game with the Earlham
bunch of baseball tossers tomorrow
afternoon on Reid field the Advance
Hill combination will use the follow
ing lineup. On paper they appear TO
have mighty strong combination,
although the work will no doubt be a
little ragged owing to the fact that
but little outdoor practice has been
INDUCED in by any of the boys. Hoggy
Lucas has been getting his good right
ar minto shape by playing indoor
baseball for the past week and be-
lieves he is about ready to go full
game right now. Haas will do the

WILLARD READY
FOR BIG FIGHT
WITH JOHNSON
Doctors Say Aspirant in Good
Form While Munroe Claims
Jack Shows Great Speed.
BY FRANK G. MENkE.

p
HAVANA, April 2.-Doctors who
have examined Willard say he is In
marvellous condition. Willard himself
is confident of victory. He hopes to
land a right swing early in the fight.
but declared today that he will not
take any chances of landing this blow,
but will fight cautiously.
George Munroe, former bantam
weight champion, who saw johnson
before he fought Jeffries, Flynn and
Moran, says that the champions con-
dition is perfect.
His speed is bewildering," said
Munroe. His muscles are hardened
to a point, where they will resist any
blow to the body. His jaw Is the
strongest Of any mans in the world
and able to resist even the terrific
wallops of Willard"
1t is rumored that Johnson may
shift his fighting plans and instead of
waiting for Willard to come to him
will rush the big cowboy off his feet
right from the start.
Women are taking keen interest
in the fight and it Is expected between
five hundred and eight hundred of the
fair sex will witness the bout.
There is plenty of Johnson money In
sight, but his hackers are refusing to
wager any Of their money at the pre-
vailing odds, saying that they are
prohibitive. They insist that the odds
should not be more than 2 to 1 and
won't bet any money at anything over
that figure.

THE State of Kansas believes in agri-
culture; it thinks of agriculture; it
talks agriculture. The other day
IN a barber shop, the barber talking
to his patient Whats this new crop l
see you growing in your fie1d?"
That's sweet clover"
What are you going to use it for?"
ooh, 1 use it both for pasture and for
a seed crop" "How many acres of sweet
clover will it take to pasture cow?'
Acres! Why, a COW can't keep one
acre down during the early part of the
season" What does your sweet clover
seed bring your"
"Oh, $40 to SIS bushel.'' "How many
bushels do you get to the acre?"
From two to five, and sometimes more"
That's a pretty paying crop, isn't it :"
"You bet" "How did you find out about
it?"
why, the county agent has been boost
ing for sweet clover in this county ever
since he came, and lots of farmers are
growing it for pasture and to
improve the land
In a livery barn in another county
farmers were discussing the wheat stu
alton:
DO you have any Hessian fly this year
in your fields?' mo, not 1. 1 sowed after
the fly free date last fall
mot much fly in the county, is there?"
mo, not in this county, but there seems
to be plenty of it over in the next county.
''Whats the reason for that?" cover
in that county almost every one sowed
too early. In this county a campaign for
the prevention of the Hessian fly has been
conducted week in and week out for three
years by the county agent and the farm
bureau cooperating with the Agricultural
College, and every farmer in the county
knows how to handle the pest
Simple, isn't it - Eyes, just disk your
land Immediately after harvest, pillow as
early possible, after the fly free
date and there won't be any serious trou-

did make the survey and found that
had plenty of organizations but that none
OF them were as useful as they could be,
SO we had meeting of representatives of
all of them, federated them, and selected
a line of work for each.'
"Say, that's great It's a wonder that
all the other counties around don't do it,
well, perhaps they will. It's all a
matter of growth and of education" The
train stopped and the got off still
discussing community work.
Have you heard other stories of the
same kind in Kansas? They are common
in barber shops, in hotels, trains, at
picnics and even at church. And what is
bringing it about?
Using Educational Institutions.
The people of Kansas are bringing it
about by the support which they Civ
ing to educational work and the use that
they are making of their educational insti-
tutions. The people have believed in sup
porting these institutions and in using
them. They have believed that these insti-
tutions are not only for those who can
enter them students, but for the State
as a whole. They have supported, there
fore, not only the work within the insti-
tutionS, but work outside of the insttu-
tons popularity known extension work
Particularly have they been in favor of
extension work in agriculture and home
economics, work that has peculiar refer
ence to life on the farm. They have not
been content with incidental meetings held
here and there to discuss these problems,
but have organized farmers Institutes all
over the State, 43O in number, everyone
of which is visited by two lee
turers from the Agricultural College every
year.
Eight extension schools of weeks
length in agriculture and home economics
thirty-five five-day schools in home eco
nomics, and eleven two-day poultry
schools have been held in many com
munities since November, 1914. Other
communities are planning for many more.
Community welfare organizations have
been effected at many points, and farm
bureaus and county agAnts have been set
at work in ten counties.
Extending Extension Work.
What the people of Kansas want to
have they willing to pay for, and
their representatives responsive to
their wishes. The recent legislature
made an appropriation of $4,000 a year
for the next two years to the Extension
Division of the Agricultural College for
the extension work in agriculture and
home economics. This will be used in part
in holding Institutes over the State; in
conducting extension schools; and in con-
Quoting statewide demonstrations in agri-
The State also made further appro-
priation of S14,556 for the fiscal year 1915
and S26,6S6 for the fiscal year 1916 to

Marketing Surplus Alfalfa.

In a third county a dry goods merchant
and a grower were discussing their bust
ness How has your business turned
out this year," said the grower. Quite
well, thank you, much better than l ex-
pected."
$50 has mine, and | have been wonder
ing what is the reason" well, my trade
has been unusually good. 1t seems that
the farmers have more money than they
used to have" How do you account for
that?''
WELL for thing, they know how to
market their product better than they did.
AS example this year the farm bureau
and the county agent decided to find the
best markets possible for the surplus
alfalfa, and to sell it in carload lots. In
other years they have been selling a little
here and little there at low prices and
much has been wasted in the stack They
located good markets in Missouri and

with the earth or litter or scratched
into the food and water supply.
Sitting hens are the prey of lice
and mites and should be fully pro-
tected against these pests. The nests
should be treated before being used
and the hens themselves busted with
some good lice-killing preparation
several times during the period OF
incubation. There are several excel
lent lice-killing powders on the mar
ket, and Persian insect powder may
be depended upon to do thls WORK
thoroughly.
Eggs Should BE Tested.
1t is advisable to test the eggs
twice before Matching time arrives
and remove such as are infertlle or
contain dead germs. Those which
remain are thus given better chance
to hatch.
When the chicks begin to pip their
shells tho hens will stick closely TO
their nests. This is most critical
time, and the poultryman should
carefully watch his charges until the
hatch is over. Before any chicks
have actually hatched the hens
should be removed and encouraged 10
eat their fill, then kept confined,
AS rule it is poor policy TO as
turb a hen which seems to be care
fully attending to her duty at this
time. But some individuals get ex-
cited when they hear the youngsters
peeping, and may do considerable
damage through trampling them or
even picking them. Under such con-
ditions a transfer should be made,
the flighty hen being replaced by one
of the quiet, motherly sort.
If the nests are properly construct
ed the chicks may safely be left with
quiet hens until the hatch is com
pleted. But if loss is feared the
babies may be removed and tucked
away in padded baskets or boxes and
kept in a warm place until moved
to the brooding coops.

popular scheme. This is merely an
inclosure containing shelter of some
kind, having roosts but no nests, and
tenanted by a number of cockerels.
Within very few days after being
placed in such a yard the broodies
may be transferred to the laying
flock, completely cured.
The selected sitting hens should be
left in their accustomed quarters until
they have ceased to lay and the de-
sire to sit has become fully estab-
lished Then they should be trans
ferred to the nests prepared for them
in separate quarters, where they will
not be disturbed.
Where any considerable number of
hens are set, some special building
or compartment should be given up
to their exclusive use. This should
be we'll ventilated and reasonably
dark to insure comfort and content
ment.
Aside from the nests, but few fur
nishings will be required. Recep-
tacles for food and water and dust
ing place of liberal size complete the
list. The latter should have goodly
supply of fine earth in which the
birds may wallow when liberated
from their nests
Preparing the Nests.
The nest boxes should be roomy.
Small nests cause much discomfort
to their occupants, induce restless
ness, and this in turn results in much
breakage of eggs. They should be
so constructed that the hen may step
into the nest. If the boxes are deep
and the hens compelled to jump
down on the eggs, many of the latter
are sure to be broken.
Each nest should be fitted with a
door, which may be closed at will,
thus keeping the occupant under con-
troll. Where open nest boxes are
used and a number of hens sit in the
same room, there is bound to be
much fighting; some hens will remain
off the nest for too long time, two
hens will frequently crowd on one
nest, leaving another uncovered and
unsatisfactory results are bound to
| follow.
1t is unquestionably the better
plan to remove the birds daily and
permit them to feed and exercise for
reasonable period, but keep them
confined to the nests the rest of the
time.
l have experienced much satisfac-
tion from the use of trapnests for
sitting hens. The hens may be re-
leased at any convenient time and the
traps adjusted. AS each sitter re-
turns to her nest, she automatically
locks herself in and the others out
and many of the dangers attending
the use of the open nest are thu!
overcome.
For nesting material nothing is
better than hay or straw cut into rea

sonably short lengths, Earth may be
used as foundation, and this should
be shaped before the other material
is added.
The nest should be saucer shaped.
If flat, some of the eggs may roll out
from under the hen. If the cavity is
deep, the eggs may pile up and be
crushed. Attention to details of this
kind pays.
The hens should be removed to
their new quarters after dark, as
they are less likely to object than
when transferred during the hours of
daylight. For. the first day they
should be permitted to sit upon china
eggs or discarded eggs from other
nests until they have shown their
willingness to attend to business.
/ Then the valuable eggs may be safe
ly intrusted to their care.
The number of eggs given each hen
is regulated by her size and the sea-
son of the year. While cold weather
| fingers, an average hen should salts
factorily cover 10 to IL eggs. In
ordinary Spring weather she will care
for 13, while in the warm season she
may be given Is.
1t is always well to set several
hens at the same time. When the
eggs are tested at the end of the first
week it may be found possible to
give all the fertile ones to smaller
number of hens, thus permitting one
or more to be returned to the laying
flock or reset on other eggs. Again,
at Matching time, the broods may be
doubled up and several sitters re-
leased from further duty in connec-
tion with the chicks.
Feeding the Sitters.
The sitters should be kept upon a
hard grain ration, but this must be
given in liberal quantity. Probably
the best plan is to provide grain
hoppers OF generous size and let the
birds eat all they wish. Corn and
wheat are staple grains. Mash mix
lures of any kind are to be avoided
Green food may be given, sparingly
but not in sufficient quantity to in
duce looseness of the bowels.
Grit should also be available, and
of course, clean, fresh water in abun-
dance.
Each day as the hens are released
from their nests, the latter should be
carefully examined for cracked and
soiled eggs, and any troubles cor
rected. Very few hens will soil their
nests If they can avoid it, but wher
they are confined the greater part Of
the day, more or less trouble of this
kind may be expected However, II
is most essential that both nesting
material and eggs be kept clean, ant
this must be looked after daily.
The sitting room should also bt
kept in sanitary condition. The drop
pings should be removed each day
never permitted to become mixet
