Early Hatchlng for Size.

Contrary to general belief and prac.
tice. chicks do not grow or thrive as we'll
durinp the warm months or bot summer
days as they do earlier In the spring.
Experienced poultrymen realize this
fact. The average farmer, however,
does not make an effort to hatch early
so that the chicks will have the advan-
tage of q longer and more favorable
growing season. Early Matching not
only insures more rapid gains In the
growth of chicks but has favorable IN.
fiuepce on the size of the individuals OF
the flock. Late hstched chicks rarely,
II ever. attain the size OF those hatohed
early, Early hstching likewise innu'
ences early maturity and consequently
early egg production.
Given the same food, care and atten.
ton, chicks hatched the hrst OF Marco
will weigh more when they are four
months old than those hatched . month
later, say the poultry specialists OF the
q. 8. Department Of Agriculture. TINS
likewise holds true with chicks hatched
the first of April as compared With
those bstched May fret. This 10 due to
tbe fact that the rate OF growth OF
chick Ia greater during the first four
weeks of it's life than at any other time.
Consequently, the early hatched chick,
having the advantage of more favor
able growing season, makes greater
gains during the frst four weeks OF its
life than the late hatched chick. Dur

Ralse More at Home.


The present exorbitant prices of
nearly ali food products should teach US
a practical lesson. Every person who
owns or controls piece OF available iano
suitable for culture, should, the coming
season, plant or SOW an unusual amount
of seed for crops that are essential for
the support of the family and stock:
In our long life on the farm We have
noticed that the most successful farmers
ara those who make the farm crops
largely support the farm stock a. we'll
as the family az far 40 possible. Ones
wealth is not based upon the amount OF
money spent, but rather upon the
amount saved. One hundred dollars
value In corn, oats and other stock
foods raised upon the farm, may save
the same amount going to western speou-
lators, never to return.
Another thing to alleviate the present
high prices is, to cut out many tnings
not actually necessary. As actual ano
prospective conditions are to-day, It 10
we'll to practice economy In farm ano
household expenses. This can be done
In MANY instances without discomfort
or being parsimonious. Prices are liaoie
to remain high for months to come, war
or no war. So We urge farmers and
gardeners to make preparations for
utilizing greatly increased acreage Tor
orops the coming spring and thus be able
to live upon home products to . great
extent.
DR.. George NJ. Twitchell, who 10 good
authority. urges this, and bis practical
eInerience and good advice IL worth con-
sideration. How many good farmers 10
Maine to-day are wishing they had more
potatoes, onions, butter and cheese to
part With this spring. There is no pres,
ent prospect that these products viii

profitable to raise. .

DREAD OF HOSPITAL
MOTIVE FOR SUICIDE
Maj. James BOurke Ends Life at
Northwest Residence.

Despondent because he was ordered
TO return to the Government Hospital
for the Insane. where he had been a
patient for about a month. Major
James Bourke. forty-eight years old,
Medical Corps, u. S. A., committed
suicide yesterday afternoon by shoot
ing himself in the left breast while
in the bathroom of his home, 1861 Mt
Pleasant street northwest. He was
rushed to GARFIELD Hospital, but died
within half an hour after the shot
was fired.
I'm sorry ! did Il. but could not
return to the Government Hospital"
he Is alleged to have told members
OF his family before he died
Major Bourke was granted three
days leave OF absence from the Gov
eminent Hospital last week and spent
Sunday quietly with his wife and
three little daughters. Friends said
that he was in the best OF spirits
yesterday morning and seemed to be
rapidly recovering from the mental
and nervous disorder for which he
was being treated at the Government
Hospital.
A short time before he was sup
posed to return to the hospital. early
last evening, he left his wife and
daughters. went TO the second floor
and took a revolver from a trunk in
his room. A few minutes later a shot
was heard in the bathroom. Mrs
Bourke found her husband on the
bathroom floor He was conscious
until the end came.

operation. stand each jar for a mo
ment on its cap to make sure that the
seal is absolutely tight.
Leaves Natural Color.
RECIPE NO. 2.
The following method is preferred
by some because 1t leaves more OF the
natural color in the preserves.
To pounds Of washed. capped, and
stemmed strawberries add 20 ounces
sugar; let stand over night. In the
morning pour juice thus obtained into
a preserving kettle, add berries, and
cook to 222 degrees F., or until the
syrup IL very heavy. Pack and
sterilite as in recipe No. !.
The preserving specialists advise
those who are going to put up any
quantity of preserves to purchase a
chemical thermometer, which gives
readings by degrees Fahrenheit for
each degree from 2l2 degrees up
Equipped with such a thermometer
the preserver can be certain Of uni
form results. The strip will not reach
222 degrees Fahrenheit until II is
cooked enough, and is OF the best pre-
serving consistency. The reason soT
this is that the strip will not reach
this temperature until the proper
amount OF water has been driven of
by boiling. Such a thermometer Is
also very useful in all forms Of pre-
serving, in candy making, and in
other cooking operations where re-
suits depend upon exact heating.
Used In Club Work.
The following tested recipe Tor pre-
served strawberries IL used in the
boys and girls clue work in the
Northern and Western States:
Make a syrup of one quart OF water
and eleven pounds OF sugar, and COOK
in an open kettle until candy Their
mometer registers 265 degrees when
placed in the syrup. Add eight pounds
Of berries to the syrup. Cook very
slowly, just at the boiling point. Stop
the cooking when rne thermometer
registers 219 degrees and pour into
shallow pans to cool. Hasten cooling
