DIFFERENCE IN SITTING HENS
Some Fowls Are Lacking in Hen Sense
and Do Not Cover Their Eggs
in Proper Manner.

/ Some hens of course make better
Emothers than others, but more than
fthis, some are much better than 9TH
iers for sitting itself, according to a
subscriber to Wallace's Farmer. Two
shens were each given an egg to cover
while waiting for the sitting of eggs
to come, and when the eggs arrived
two or three days later the two eggs
lin the nests we're taken out and bro
ken. The egg from hen No. 1 showed
a third less development than the egg
under hen Ne. 2. AS the first five
days are The most important time in
the sitting period, indications were
that hen No. 2 would hatch out more
chicks than hen No. 1. These results
were indicated by the behavior of the
two hens.
Hen No. seemed to be lacking
(said. the owner) in hen sense. She
felt the fever of broodiness, but ap-
parently didn't know what was the
matter with her, only she wanted to
sit, and she sat- When she was taken
off the nest for food and water, she
continued to sit, gluing herself to the
floor like lump of putty, picking up
the corn within her range, but max
ing no effort to get what lay out Of
reach. =
! Hen No. had work to do. and in
tended to do it. When take from her
nest she expressed dissatisfaction, but
noting that her breakfast was ready,
she ate and drank, spread her featb-
ers, stretched her muscles, and went
back to her nest. No. 1 had to be
put back. People sometimes think
that to be hen-hatched means well
matched; it doesn't always work out
that way; much depends on the quail
ity Of the hen as an incubator.

WATCH FOR DRooPY CHICKS

During First Ten Days After Hatch

Watch the brooder closely for the
'droopy chicks, especially during the
first ten days after Matching, for it is
during this period that white dlarrhea
is most destructive. AS rule the
chicks are Matched with it, and it
usually develops in from four to six
days.
/ Take each droopy chick from the
tbrooder as soon as discovered, and be
careful to scald drinking vessels and
change the scratching litter.
After the first week the chicks are
not as susceptible to this disease, and

BY following this plan the majority

Care of the Baby in Summer

orite breeding spot, flies lay their eggs in other places as well, such as outhouses, refus piles, etc. In these places, from which no manure is taken to spread on the fields, consid- erable saving may be effected through the substitution of boraX for powder cd helleborc. Applied at the rate of O.62 pounds per bushels of manure, borax is as effective as powdered hel- lebore in killing the larvae, but costs less than half a cent for each bushel of manure treated. In larger quanti- ties. however, or when the manure itself is spread at a greater rate than 15 tons to the acre, some damage to crops may result Large quantities of manure are often used by market gardeners and others, and there is always danger of carelessness in ap- plying the bOraX. The use of the more expensive hellebore is therefore recommended for the treatment of manure BoraX is recomm nded for all other refuse in which flies may lay eggs.
 Scientists who have been working for years to eliminate the fly are COIlNluceu LHdl tuC use Ol Oll- OI lHe other of these simple measures is a public duty wherever manure and refuse exist. Sanitarians, however, strongly advise the removal of refuse heaps or other unnecessary rubbish or breeding places for flies. In breeding places which cannot be thus disposed of-such as manure or stables-the daily use of powdered hellebore will keep the flies from breeding in these favorte breeding grounds. The b'st results are ob
 tanable in community where every one cleans up his premises, traps or kills the flies, and systematically treats the manure and other breeding placs with powdered hellebore.
 "The fly is not only a nuisance to human being and live stock; it spreads disease and filth and Is menace to public health which can not be tolerated in the face of a demonstrated remedy. D tails Of the experiments with other information on the subject are contained in a

Destroy the Fly.

When the modern mother sings 'Baby'bye, here's fly" to her infant, she changes the second line of the 1 old nursery song to read "l.et us swat him, you and L. The common house-fly is no longer an object of tolerant interest, but has become an object of hatred and dstrust. He is known to be the principal factor In tho distribution of the germs of ty- | phod.
 | Especially is he regarded as the | enemy of the baby, as there is reason | to believe that he carries about the germs of summer diarrhea and leaves l them behind him, with other filth, when he lights on the nipple of the feeding bottle. or crawls over the saucer of cereal, or falls in the milk. Thus he is a real danger, not only to the baby but to the whole family, and every effort should be made to do away with him.
 Flies may be kept out of the house to a considerable extent by using screens at the doors and windows, and those that get inside may be trapped. poisoned or swatted. But better than any of these methods is to destroy tho flies in the larvae stage. and thus prevent them from matching. The following information is furnished by the department of agriculture:
 "A safe and effective weapon against the typhoid or house-fly has been found in powdered hellebore by scientists of the department of agrl- culture. Flies lay their eggs chiefly in stable manure Powdered helle- bore mixed with water and sprinkled over the manure. will destroy the lar vac which are matched from tn eggs. Since powdered. hellebore is readily obtainable, this puts in the hands Of everyone 9 remedy for one ot the sts that has been found dangerous as well as troublesome. Powdered hellcbore. however. will not kill adult flies, which must be swatted or trapped
 X Cheap Remedy.
 ''It has long been known that flies breed in manure but previous meth ods of destroying the larvae there by the use of strong chemicals have been open to the objection that the treat mont under some conditions lessened the fertilizing value of the manure or actually injured vegetation. This IS not true of powdered hell ebore. Gov ernment experiments have shown that the hellebore is entirely decomposed in the course of the fermentation ot the manure and that even in excessive quantities it does no harm eXcent to the larvae it is intended to destroy. Chickens ricking in manure trfated with it suffer no ill effects.
 "One-half ponnd of powdered helle- hore mived with 1o gallons of water is sufficient to kill the larvae in bushels. or 10 cubic feet. of manure. The mixture should be sprinkled carefully over the pile. especial atten- ton being paid to the outer edges. In most places hellebore is obtainable in 1OO-pound lots at a cost of Il cents a pound. This makes the cost of the treatment little less than seven-tenths of cent rer bushel ot manure.
