nerlv cared for thereafter they will
begin to lay eggs at the very time
that eggs are most wanted.
To a great extent the poultrymen
Of the country have overlooked this
simple fact. For one thing, birds
Matched later in the spring or sum-
mer are not inclined to become broody
until late the following seasoi and
thus an Improbable circle is form
ed. Each year pullets mature too
late to produce in the fall and winter,
and they sit too late for their off
spring to do any better. The poultry
man who wishes to get really good
returns from his flock must break
this circle. M
The growing use of incubators has
made this comparatively easier. There
is no reason why incubators should
not be filled in March and early April
and the Matching over May /. II
no incubator is available it may be
possible to secure broody hens in the
neighborhood. That they will repay
the trouble and expense necessary To
obtain them, is indicated by results
at the government poultry farm in
MARYLAND. There it is not unusual
to get a daily average of one egg fol-
every five hens throughout the fall
and winter, and in some pens the
average has been as high as one egg
for three birds. If anything like this
percentage could be obtained or
farms, the ordinary poultry farmer
would derive real benefit from the
high prices which eggs invariably
bring for a period of several months

shut up in the incubator. The result
ing gas will thoroughly disinfect the
machine. After disinfection the in
cubator should be run empty for sew
eral days to get it into good operat-
ing condition. After the eggs are in
place the temperature should be held
at from 10111 degrees and lO2 de-
gress +. the first week, 1O2 degrees
to 103 degrees the second week, and
at 103 degrees the third week.
The eggs usually are turned for the
first time at the end Of the second
day and twice daily through the
eighteenth or nineteenth day. The
eggs are cooled outside the Matching
chamber once daily after the seventh
ture should be furnished in artificial
incubation in the South, in high alti-
tudss, and when the incubator room
is dry. This may be done by sprinkl-
ing the eggs with warm waetr or by
packing wet sponge or pan OF wa
ter under the egg tray.
During the Matching period careful
ly fill the lamp and trim the wick
each day. 1t is best to trim the wick
by scraping off the burnt portion
rather than by cutting the wick. The
lamp should not be filled entirely. Al
ter the lamp is filled it should be
closely observed for time to make
sure that the flame does not get too
high.
Early Matching is the secret of win
teregg production, say specialists in
the u. S. department of Agriculture.
The pullet that is Matched early ma
lures early and is ready to lay eggs
in the fall when the supply is scarce
and prices highest. Chickens that
are expected to be revenue produc-
ers for their owners later in the year
should be out of their shells by April
30 at the latest. If they are. pro-

During the winter months when the
ground is covered with snow small
fruit trees and other shrubbery are
liable to be injured by rabbits grid
ling the bark and limbs. Also, moles
and field mice nesting in grass and
leaves around the trees may girdle
the bark, injuring or possibly killing
the trees.
A safe and easy way to guard small
trees and valuable shrubbery against
rabbits and mice is to purchase some
soft compression grease, or grade
No. 2 axle grease, which can be
bought at reasonable price in bulk.
Clean the grass close to ground
around the trees then with pair of
leather mittens begin close to the
ground and spread fine coat of the
soft grease on the trunk of the tree.
Near fences and where the snow is
liable to be deep, carefully spread the
grease within the reach Of mice or
rabbits.
Being a mineral grease rabbits and
mice will not bother the trees and il
has the advantage over other tree
protectors in that it guards the tree
from as close to the ground as nee
essary to the trunk and branches as
high as needed, and does not chafe
the bark in wind and sleet storms.
Should the trees have the bark
damaged apply the grease, rubbing il
well into the wood, and wind with
strips of cloth or burlap, and the
bark will grow and heal the scar.
This form of protection is chear
and easy to apply. A pound of grease
will cover the trunks of from Tx tc
a dozen trees, acco ding to size. Once
applied it viii cling to the bark
through all kinds OF wes.tther and last
well till the warm sunshine of the
early summer.

Kidding Cows of Flies
Nothing conduces more to the COM
fort and profit of cows on pasture
than protector against the swarms
of flies that prosecute all through the
day and into the night. The follow
ing simple homemade mixture spray
ed lightly over the animals, parti-
cularly where the flies congregate and
cannot be brushed off by the tail, is
well worth the time it requires to ap-
ply, it daily: To a quart of kerosene
add a tablespoonful each Of the fol-
lowing: Oil of tar, oil Of pennyroyal
fish oil, carbolic acid. Beat well to-
