ABUNDANCE OF TENDER FEED AIR SUPPLY FOR MCUBATORS
Sow a Plot Of Ground to Rape and
Give II to Hens-Cabbage and
Oats Also Excellent.

To lay well during the summer and
fall months, the hens must have an
abundance Of tender vegetable matter.
AS the weather becomes warm and
dry, the grasses and vegetation on the
range become tough and fibery, and
are not eaten by the hens in sufficient
quantity to induce the best egg yield.
To provide green feed sow a plot Of
ground to rape, which is cut and fed
to the hens. Cabbage and sprouted
oats are also good.
Poke, found growing in waste places
on many farms, Is also eaten by the
hens with n relish. If the shoots and
leaves Of the poke stalk are pulled
and fed, while small and tender, the
plant will throw out new sprouts and
branches that will be ready for feeding
In 10 days or two weeks. These small
shoots and leaves, even in dry weather,
are always succulent and tender. It
certainly Is surprising the amount Of
green fed big poke stalk will supply
In n season.

Latest Improvement in Egg Carrier.

If we don't pay more attention to the
way we handle eggs.
We can stop much of this loss by
training the hens to do their laying in
places provided for them. This may
sound easy, but it is not where you
have few score of hens ranging
around over a 20-acre radius. A whole
lot Of them will steal their nests out
In spite Of any keeping them up till
the middle of the day or feeding them
always at the door OF the chicken
house.
We can do this much, however. We
can have the boys and girls on the
place run down every hidden nest and
gather the eggs daily. This is not so
much of Job as it seems If the place
Is fairly clean of weeds and fence-row
growths.
II the eggs are gathered every after
noon they will not have much Of q
chance to be added and made stale by
the suns rays or the heat of mldsum-
mer. A certain percentage of the hens
will get in the habit of laying in the
barns, in the mows, the feed boxes and
under the hangers, and especially
under the crib and granary floors. 1t
won't take much time to locate these
nests, and l had about as soon they
would lay there as anywhere else after
/ once get the nesting places located.
BY Keeping the premises free Of
weeds and the summer growths that
make such fine hiding places for the
wandering hen, it is pretty easy to
keep track Of all the outside nests. If
the fence rows are clean and the or
chard free from weeds and high
grasses, there will be no hidden nests
there, and for lack of a better place
the hens will go to their accustomed
nests.
There must be plenty of nests, how
ever, If the hens are to lay in the
house. They will not go into q stuffy
nesting place, crowd into hot nests and
sit one on top Of another when they
wish to lay. Big, cool, roomy nests will
insure the hen owner collecting the
majority Of the eggs laid by his flock.
There are some henhouses that are
literally Ovenlike in summer, and the
nests are even hotter than the remain
der Of the room. Get the nest off the
ground few inches have the boxes
big and roomy and keep them clean.
This will make them cooler and lessen
the number Of eggs spoiled by break
ages and filthy nests.

PROPER TIME FOR HATCHING
Chicks Provided With Abundance OF
Green Feed Grow More Rapidly
Than Those in Yards.

Growing chicks that have, during
the summer, been provided with an

food will grow much more rapidly and
more evenly than those crowded Int
small bare yards. The character Of

Not Possible to Hatch Healthy, Vigor.
Gus Chicks in Bad Air, Heavy
With Lamp Fumes.

Because a hen will make her nest
In what seems to us stuffy corner
Of the henhouse, and hatch her brood
Of chicks, we are sometimes inclined
to feel that the incubator will hatch
brood Of chicks, tucked in a corner
Of a room where 1t will be out Of the
way, or down in the cellar against the
wall. II Is not possible to hatch n
lusty chick in bad air, heavy with
lamp fumes. Unless one Is willing to
take all the steps necessary to hatch
n robust chick, it will save time and
money not to take the first. The hen
has the advantage Of outdoor air In
Matching her .brood--air that has not
been depleted by fires and humans
The chances are that she could not
do as well as the incubator in the same
location.

STRAY DOGS LONELY VIGIL
In Five Years Canine Has Never
Deserted Grave in Ohio
Cemetery.

FultOnham, ON the cemetery a
homeless cur mourns on the grave of
George Baker. The people call her
"the graveyard dog" Five years ago
the animal went to the cemetery fol
lowing the funeral procession of
Baker, an aged farmer, who died at
his home near there. Every night the
dog keeps a close vigil over the grave
1t sleeps for hours at q stretch during
the day on the little mound that marks
Bakers resting place.
Villagers long ago gave up hope of
coaxing the dog away. She leaves the
cemetery only long enough each day to
search for food. Friends Of Baker say
he never owned the dog. Cemetery
trustees refuse to drive the animal
away and she seems likely to spend
the rest of her days in this strange
and unusual manner.
