BROODING CHICKS.
How to Train Them When Incubator
Born.

Born.
Chicks should be removed from the
incubator to the brooder at night. Not
only are they easier handled when it Is
dark, but they are more likely to re-
main where they are put under the
hover. For the first night or two they
should be confined rather closely to the
hover for this reason.
If not carefully watched for the first
two or three days chicks may hudde
together in a corner Of the brooder
where they are likely to get chilled, or
trample one another to death in their
efforts to keep warm. 1t only takes a
couple of days to train them to take to
the hover
For the first few days chicks need
rest more than anything else. If sun
light enters the brOoder they will spend
hours at time huddled together en-
joying the natural warmth. This Is
good for them, as it helps to strengthen
them.
Nature provides for chicks nOur-
ishment for the first two or three days
Of life Chicks should be given neither
food nor drink for the first forty eight
hours. If fed sooner it will be harm
full and not helpful. The unabsorbed
portion Of the yolk serves to supply
the chick with nourishment. Additional
food Is likely to cause indigestion and
bowel trouble, which should be avoided
by all means. More chicks are lost
every season by overlooking than by
undertaking.

How Lace Curtains Can Be Protected
In Warm Weather.

In the summer, when the windows
are opened, the housewife may be an
noyed by the fact that the lace cur
tains blow against the screens and be-
come rusty and dirty. This can be
avoided by placing small tack at
each side Of the window and tying
piece Of white cord from one tack
across to the other. This will keep the
curtains clean.
When person sits near the window
he may be bothered by the curtain
blowing against him. Now. if another
piece Of string is placed exactly where
the first piece was and the curtain is
placed between the two it will be kept
there, and both difficulties will be
solved.-Popular Science Monthly.

AUTO HEADLIGHTS,

How to Eliminate the Dangerous Glare
In Front Of You.
Elimination Of glare from automobile
headlights is ridiculously easy when
the headlights are hung on forked
brackets, according to George s. Waite,
sales manager Of large motorcar cor
pOration. He says:
"The problem Of headlight glare,
which IS not only inconvenient to ap-
prouching motorists, but positively
dangerous, aud which has caused so
many accidents. has been the subject
Of deep study for more than year by
committee of members of the Soci-
ETY. Of Automobile Engineers At the
conclusion of its Investigations the
committee made recommendations for
a standard headlight which would
throw q concentrated beam Of light
for a distance Of 200 feet and yet with
it's highest point not more than forty
two inches from the ground.
'Thc solution is to set the lamp so
that the upper edge Of this beam,
which, if the lamp is good one, is
Sieai! "eHlcu, VIII NC paIdllei " tue
ground. When the lamp is set square
the center line of the beam is parallel
to the ground. but the distance be-
tween the edges Of the beam grows
greater as the distance from the lamp
grows greater.
ut is, however, easy to understand
that If the upper edge Of the shaft Of
light is parallel to the ground the light
will extend for as great a distance as
the lamp is capable Of throwing it, but
will be stuff ciently low SO that it will
not strike the eyes of a person ap-
preaching. whether afoot or in We
hicle."
