MAKING THE HEN MOTHER
COMFORTABLE.
r. H. WAITE,
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

To hatch well, a hen must have a
good nest. If she has to jump down
into the nest box she is apt to break
some of the eggs. Fix it so she can
get ON from the side. Use some soft
straw, hay or like substance for the
nesting material. Be sure it is clean
and free from mould. You will not
want to give the chicks any of the
diseases caused by moulds. If you
are not sure it is clean, give it thor
ough spraying with some disinfect-
ant and let it dry out before putting it
in the nest. The eggs, while in the
nest, should form saucer shape. If
the nest is too deep the eggs from the
outside will roll on the top of the others
In the center and then those under
meath cannot get the proper heat If
the nest is too fat the eggs will roll
apart and those on the outside will
be too cold. Be sure there are no cor
ners left, just outside the nesting ma
terial, for the eggs to roll into. 1t pays
to spend plenty Of time arranging the
nesting material. Too many hens are
set on poorly prepared nests.
Use Care In Feeding.
Feeding sittingsaens is a rather sim
pie matter. Keep fresh water before
them and feed them regularly. 1t is
probably best to keep some feed
where they can get it whenever they
wish. Corn and wheat or either grain
alone is all the sitting hen requires
All she needs is some heat and energy
producing food which contains only
enough protein to repair her waste
tissues. If you give her a stimulating
feed feeds high in protein are usual
ly considered stimulating feeds), she
10 apt to get into laying condition
again and leave off sitting.
Do not put too many eggs under one
hen. Too many persons take chance
by putting ''just few" extra eggs IN
der a hen thinking they will get a few
more chicks. If the extra eggs alone
were affected it would not be quite so
bad; but the whole nest full will be
treated alike by the hen for she moves
the eggs about and is constantly
changing their POSITIONS. The number
1t is safe to set varies with the size
Of the hen, season of the year, size of
the eggs, and value of the eggs Nat
urally, q small hen cannot cover so
many as a large one, a hen cannot
keep SO many warm during cold
weather as during warm weather, she
connot cover the same number OF
large ones rs small ones, and naturally
one would not care to trust many very
valuable eggs with one hen. For some
reason an odd number Of eggs is usu-
| ally used in setting hens. This may be
| due to superstition but it is also partly
| due to the fact that thirteen or fifteen
sggs ft the nest better About thir
| teen eggs In winter and from fifteen to
| eighteen in summer would be abou,
right for q medium sized hen on me-
dunn sized eggs.

The Extension Service of the Mary
land Agricultural College, in co-opera-
ton with the U. S. Department of Ag-
riculture, is prepared to conduct a linn.
tied number of cooperative spraying
demonstrations. These are for the
purpose of teaching the methods of
mixing and applying the spray ma,
terials and for demonstrating the
value of the operation. In these dem
onstrations, the obligations of the
growers are to furnish the equipment
chemicals, labor and to keep a record
of the quality and quantity of fruit
produced on both the sprayed trees
and the unsprayed or check trees. On
tie other hand, the Extension Service
will arrange for a man to go to the
orchard as often as is necessary tC
supervise the work at no expense to
the grower.

MO. SUMMER SESSION MAY
BE ADOPTED IN VALLEY
Eleven Months School Term Has
Been in Operation for Sew
eral Years.


eral Years.
The eleven months school
term which has been discussed
by the newspapers of the Mis-
souri, Valley since its endorse
nlent by the presidents of the
Valley universities at their
meeting recently in Kansas
City, has been in force in the
University of Missouri for a
number of years. At the Uni
versity it is known as the sum-
mer session which is a two
months term opening shortly af-
ter the close of the winter term.
Missouri is the pioneer of the
session in the Valley.
The only change which is sug-
gested in the system when
adopted by the Valley UNIVERSE
ties is that from the division Of
the school year into semesters
to a division in to quarters
making the summer session the
fourth quarter of the school
year. The summer session of
the University Of Missouri will
this next year be extended to in
clude schools in which hereto
fore courses have not been given.
The average enrolment Of the
Missouri summer session is
more than 700.
H. j. Waters, president of the
Kansas State Agricultural Col
lege, expresses the belief that
the eleven months school year
will soon be adopted by gram
mar and high schools.

CALLING A
MINISTER

A man who recently served OH
committee for selecting a minister
for a certain church, was telling his
experiences the other day. He had
recently been waylaid by prosper
Gus business man, a large contrlbd.
tor to the society who said 1t was ab.
solutely necessary that the new min
lister should use tobacco. This would
help him get next to the men and
draw them into the social rooms.
The committee member had no spe.
cial feeling against tobacco. Rut he
was surprised to learn that use Of it
was now considered an essential
qualification for minister.
The next day his wife was told by
a spiritual Sunday School teacher that
the next pastor must have \ moro
devotional spirit or she would feel
like going to another church. She
was tired OF philosophical speculation
and reviews OF new theological books
Shortly after the church treasurer
told them that what they needed was
kind OF efficiency expert. An exec
utive head was needed, who would
keep card catalogs, supervise oigani
7atfons, keep them actively working
and mobilize the financial and social
forces of the society.
A few days later while attending q
funeral, he was told by one Of the
mourners that their recent pastor had
not called on her mother during hei
entire illness. She too felt like ut
tending another church, unless they
had a clergyman who was faithful Il
pastoral work.
