EARLY HATcHlNe FOR SIZE.

Contrary to general belief and
practice, chicks do not grow O,

months or hot summer days as TIN ,,
do earlier in the spring. Experien ::
ed poultrymen realize this fact. TIN
average farmer, however, does not
make an effort to hatch earlv 10
that the chicks will have the adv.rt-
age OF longer and more favorable
growing season. Early Matching not
only insures more rapid gains in the
growth of the chicks but has a fa-
vorable influence on the size of the
individuals of the flock. Late hate h.
ed chicks, rarely, if ever, attain Il ,e
size of those Matched early. Ear |,

maturity and consequently early er I
production.
Given the same food care and at-.
tention; chiks Matched the first Of
March will weigh more when thew
are four months old than those
Matched a month later, say the poul-
try specialists of the U. S. Depart-
ment Of Agriculture. This likewise
holds true with chicks Matched the

first Of April as compared with
those Matched May first. This is due
to the fact that the rate of growth
of chich is greater during the first
four weeks of it's life than at any
other ,times Consequently the, early
Matched chick, having the advantage
of a more favorable growing season,
makes greater gains during the first
four weeks of it's life than the late
Matched chick. During the early
spring months when the tempera-
ture is not so varied the growth of
chicks is more uniform and constant
than it is during the summer
Millions Of chicks die every year
as a result Of being infested with
lice which, under average, farm con-
ditions, are ofttimes difficult to con-
Hen-hatched chicks are not as SUBJ
ject to lice in the early spring as
they are during the warmer months
when lice are more prevalent. If
for no other reason chicks should be
Matched early so their growth will
not be interrupted by the presence
of lice.
Many farmers realize considerable
money each spring from the sale of
broilers, the price of which is usual
ly governered by their size when
sold and the time marketed. Thus
it would seem that in order to in
crease the amount of money from
the sale of broilers and fryers early
Matching would be employed so as to
have a marketable-sized fowl in the
spring when prices are highest.

HOW TO SET A HEM.

AS LHe ClHle approaches 1Or LII
hen to become broody or sit, if carr
is taken to look into the nest, it vii
be seen that there are a few sof1
. downy feathers being left there b!
the hen; also the hen stays long e1
on the nest when laying at this tim e
and on being approached will quit>
likely remain on the nest, making
a clucling noise, rufflihg her fea-
theirs and pecking at the intruder
When it is noticed that a hen sits
! on the nest from two to three nights
| in succession, and that most of the
feathers are gone from her breast,
| which should feel hot to the hand,
she is ready to be transferred to a
nest which has been prepared for her
beforehand, according to the poultry
specialists Of the u. S. Department
of Agriculture. The normal temper.
allure of a hen is from 106 to 1O7 de-
grees F., which varies slightly during
incubation.
Dust the hen thoroughly with in
sect powder, and in applying the
powder hold the hen by the feet, the
head down, working the powder well
into the feathers, giving special at
tention to regions around the vent
and under the wings. The powder
should also be sprinkled in the nest.
The nest should be in some juliet
out-of- the-way place, where the sit.
ting hen will not be disturbed. Move
her from the regular laying nest at
night and handle her carefully in do
! ing so. Put a china egg or two in
| the nest where she is to sit, and
| place board over the opening SO
that she can get off. Toward the
evening of the second day quietly go
J in where she is sitting, leave some
feed and water, remove the board
/ from the front or top of the nest,
and let the hen come off when she
i is ready. Should she return to the
Y nest after feeding, remove the china
1 egg or eggs and put under those
that are to be incubated. If the
nests are slightly darkened the hens
are less likely to become restless.
At Matching time they should be con-
fined and not be disturbed until the
4 hatch is completed, unless they be-
/ come restless, when it may be best
l to remove the chicks that are hatch
ed first. In cool weather it is best
not to put more than 10 eggs under
a hen, while later in the spring one
can put IL to Is according to the
size Of the hen.
The Cook County news-herald. [volume] (Grand Marais, Cook County, Minn.) 1909-current, 1917-03-14
CARE OF the SITTING HEN.

The sitting hen, which is used
most generally for incubation pur-
poses on the farm should, receive a
CERTAIN amount of care and attention
during the process of Matching eggs.
10 a great extent the care given a
sitting hen plays an important part
on the number and condition of the
chicks when Matched. With this erfd
in view, the poultry specialists of
the U. S. Department of Agriculture
make the following suggestions:
If several hens are sitting in the
same room, see that they are kept
on the nests, allowing them to come
on only once day to receive feed
and water, the feed consist of corn,
wheat, or both. If there are any
that do not desire to come off them
selves, they should be taken off.
Hens usually return to their nests
before there is any danger of the
eggs chilling, but if they do not 20
back in half an hour in ordinary
weather, they should be put on the
nest. Where large number of sit
tiers are kept in one room it is ad-
visable to let them off in groups of
from to at time. The eggs
and nests should be examined and
cleaned, removing all broken eggs
and washing those that are soiled;
in the latter case the soiled nesting
material should be removed and
clean straw added. Nests contain
ing broken eggs that the hen is al
lowed to sit on soon become infested
with mites and lice, which cause the
hens to become uneasy and leave the
nest, often causing the loss of valu-
able sittings of eggs. In mite in
tested nests, the hen, if fastened in,
will often be found standing over
rather than sitting on the eggs.
Many eggs that are laiSl in the late
winter and early spring are infertile.
For this reason it is advisable to set
several hens at the sal ne time. Af-
ter the eggs have be- en- under the
hens from to Z d,,ys, the time
depending somewhat r,n the color
and thickness of the shells-white
shelled eggs being easier to test than
those having brown shells-thev
Should be tested, the infertile eggs
and the dead germs removed. and
the fertile eggs put b ack under the
hen. In this way is often possible
to put all the eggs that several
hens originally started to sit on un-
der fewer hens and reset the others.
For example, 80 eggs are set un-
der 3 hens at the same time, 10 un-
der each. At the end of Z DAYS we
find on testing the eggs from all the
hens that 10 are infertile, which
leaves US 20 eggs to reset, which we
do by putting them under two. hens,
and have the remaining hen sit over
again after she has sat onlv z davs.
In this way considera BILE time 4:an be
saved in ones Matching operate ons.

Is ORGANIZING BOYS
W. L. Porter Expects to Have $4,000
Modified for Farm Work

W. L. Porter, state director of the
boys working reserve being organ
lied under the United States depart
ment of labor, has launched the
gigantic project of enrolling $4,000
Kansas boys in the organization. He
has mailed to all superintendent in
towns of more than 1000 population
and all county superintendent a num-
Der of blank forms and applications.
The superintendent will use the form
and blanks in serving as recruiting
officers to organize boys in their COM
munity and furnish labor to farmers
for the duration of the war.
The purpose of the organization,
as outlined previously in the State
Journal, is to organize all available
boys between the ages of Is and 81
years for farm labor. Members Of the
state organization must undergo a
thoro physical examination and must
do three weeks work as a sort of
preliminary test
The boys, tho they will work for the
farmers, will be under the personal
supervision of their comm unity head
quarters which will see to it that their
