MATCHING 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 md make nest of clean hay or straw shallow box or barrel laid on it's tide. It is preferable to have this nest Jn the ground if there is no danger of foods during ralny 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 nest.
 Select a quiet hen that has been broody for several days and place her on nest with few cull eggs or nest eggs in 1t, and allow her to stay on these eggs for two or three days before giving her the eggs to be matched
 It is especially advisable to make sure that the hen is freeA from lice. Lousy hens stand on the eggs and pick instead of keeping the eggs warm. If the hen has lice dust her freely with Persian insect powder or take a bit of blue ointment the size of a pea and
 
 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 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 50 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 saEerage sizes. asoi1iaE ti.iI., thick ol irregular shells. Use nine to 15 eggs, depending on the size of the hen
 Test the eggs about the tenth or Qdy I HIS Clu UG uOue Dy holding them before lamp light in q 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 if broken in the nest will prevent other eggs from matching.
 Remove Bad Eggs.
 It Is advisable to remove all un- hatehabse eggs, as it allows a better chance for the fertile ones. When matching begins, generally on the twenty-frst 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. It is decidedly the best to give the chicks water, but with hold feed for at least AS hours. H. E. Dvorachek, Animal Husbandman,
