EARLY HATCHED PULLETs MAKE
WINTER LAYERS.
Poultry Keepers Are Advised As To
Best Time And Methods Of
Hatchlng.
ROY n. WAITE.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.


In order to get a flock Of pullets
that will produce well in early fall and
winter the chicks must be Matched
early enough SO that they will have
time to mature. A partly matured
pullet cannot grow, keep warm, and
lay eggs in cold weather, The time
to get her matured is during the nat
ural growing season when the wealth
er is most favorable.
The period required for maturity
varies with different breeds and it also
varies with the way the chickens are
cared for and fed. Two focks Of the
same breed, Matched at the same time,
may look very different when they are
a few months old. Some flocks under
favorable conditions may even mature
twice as quickly as others poorly cared
for.
Five or six months is usually consid-
cred about the proper time to allow
for maturing the Leghorn varieties.
They can sometimes be grown In a
! shorter period but it is not considered
agood practice to force them too much.
The heavier breeds like the Ply
mouth Rocks, Wyandottes, Rhode Is
land Reds, etc., require more time.
Six or seven months should be allowed
for them and with some of the ex-
tremely large breeds like the Light
Brahmas, an even longer time is re-
quired.
Hatch In April.
White Leghorns Matched during
April will. usually commence laying
a few eggs about the first part of Sep
tember and be laying in full blast
In October April is an ideal month
in which to hatch this breed for the
weather is usually such as to give the
chicks good start and they mature
in time to I'LL in part Of the gap be-
tween the moulting and the starting of
the old hens to lay. White Leghorns
hatehed even as late as June some
times begin laying about December
and June Matched Leghorns are usu-
ally considered successful.
March is considered an ideal month
for Matching the large breeds but it is
often difaoult, especially to those on
farms, to have things in shape for
such early Matching. In any event
chickens should be Matched as early
as possible.
Where one can make use of an incu,
b9tor the problem is considerably
simplifed. An incubator is broody
any time the lamp is lighted and the
machine regulated, but it is often diff
cult to get hold Of sitting hens before
April.

That was the last Hope saw OF Gerald
Morton Three months later he paid
for his crime on the galIows at San
Quentin.
It was long after midnight when
Hope returned to his hotel, but, not
withstanding the Iateness OF the hour
and his utter WEAKNESS, he ransacked
his trunks until he unearthed the work
on metallurgy, which Fitzmaurice had
given him as a memento Of the dra-
matte episode in the Sandstone res
taurant. Drawing his chair up to the
light he opened the weIl-worn volume
at page sixty-One, which contained, he
found, a portion of the chapter en-
titled 'CarbOniferOus Deposits"
The seventh word on the page was,
Hope found, examine which seemed
promising. Again he counted seven
and was rewarded with the word
COVER which apparently failed to
make sense, but the next word in or
der was 7of," which again raised his
hopes, and in wild excitement he
completed the hidden sentence, which
read: Examine cover of this book
Inserting the blade of his pocket
knife into the edge of the lining, he
carefully worked it back and forth
until it curled back. AS it did so
Hope gave a little exclamation of sat
isfactiOn, for, Sandwiched between the
lining and the cover itself, was a small
square of tissue paper. Drawing it
out, he read in Doctor Burke's hand
writing: ''The formula of my sub
marine invention will be found in a
secret drawer under the glass tank of
my working mOdel.-R. b.
Hope felt that the mystery now was
as good as solved. The key was in
his hands. Mentally and physically
exhausted, he threw himself upon the
bed, and despite the fears and ankle
ties that assailed him, was almost in
stantIy asleep. So soundly did he
sleep, indeed, that it was nearly noon
when he was awakened by someone
pounding at his door. 1t proved to be
bellbOy with a special delivery let
ter.
"If you wish to see Miss Burke
alive" it ran, "come to 1921 Panuco

directions to the letter"

No neighborhood in San Francisco
has more evil reputation than Panu-
CO street. No. 1121 Hope found was
a narrow, four-stOry building which,
in days long passed, had evidently
been a residence of considerable pre-
tension, but which had now fallen into
a sad state of neglect and disrepair.
AS Hope assembled the steps, there
came, from an areaway across the
street, a shrill whistle, twice repeat
ed. The kidnaperS were on the watch
and the two whistles were a signal to
those within the house that he was
unaccompanied. Swinging open the
door, Hope found himself in such inky
blackness that he had to strike a
match in order to find the stairway.
Lighting his way with matches, Hope
cautiously assembled three flights Of
stairs and gave four brisk raps on the
door on the left, which instantly
swung open. In the doorway, his face
lighted by the lamp that he held above
his head, was Mahlin.
"Ha," said Hope, recognizing his
former antagonist, 'I rather suspect
ed it was you I had to deal with.
Where's your Jap side-partner F

Now said Mahlfn brusquely,

"Yes'm," replied the man, short,

effectually concealed by the upturned
collar of his coat, a pair of goggles
and viSOred cap which was pulled
down over his face. ''He said I was

The most direct route to the Cliff
house leads through Golden Gate park.
Instead of keeping to the main thor
oughfare, however, the driver, when
well into the park. turned down one
OF the innumerabIe branch drives,
which, owing to the greater intervals
between its lamps, was comparatively
dark, and brought his vehicle to an
abrupt halt in the dense shadow of
an immense liveOak. The car had
barely stopped before the door was
flung open, man sprang inside, a
revolver was pushed into CIeo's face
and a hOarSe voice warned her. 'Not

driver threw open the other door, and
in an instant the terrified girl was Sc

to the nearest drug store he telephoned

But to his summons there was no
