tartan movement Of this or any other
time.

drives. The work will be under the
supervision of the permanent war
funds, committee. Henry f. Dunnack
will again lead the campaign, with
the inspiration and the executive abil-
ity that have characterized his other
successful efforts. 1t is hoped that
the men who solicited 50 successfully
in the other drives can be used in this
campaign, but they viii be reinforced
by girl and women workers, Boy

scholars. religious and fraterna or
carnations, business and commercial

force that has ever been behind a To-
cal campaign
The amount Of money to be raised
is trifiing when compared with past
campaigns-only $4,000 but in this
campaign it means 1000 separate con-
tributions, for the Red Cross annual
mem" rship is only 81. However Au-
gusta can and Wit Do any service
which it is called on to do during the
progress of the war. Past campaigns
have proved that and this one will be
only repetition Of previous sue

Since the attempt a few days ago
of the tug Seguin to break her way
the ice in the Kennehec river
from Bath to Hallowell to release Il
granite laden barge at the latter city
and also a barge at Gardiner. 1t is ev-
ident that no small amount of interest
Is felt in that boat. whitf was shown
yesterday afternoon when a man rush
ed into the office of the Purinton Bros
Co in this city and reported that he
had just come from GardiHer and that
there was a tug in the river between
Gardiner and HallowelI trying to make
her way through the ice. Inquiry by
telephone at Gardiner however
brought forth the information that
such was not the case as the ice at
that point was solid and that what the
man had thought to be a tug was
without doubt the steam lighter Fay
which was caught at HaIlowelI when
the river closed and which yesterday
was trying to work her way through
the ice as far down river as her home
port in the vicinity Of South Sard-
liner. 1t does not look at present as
if the tug Seguin would put in another
appearance on the upper kennebeC be-
fore next spring. unless sufficient mild
weather should be forthcoming in the
near future to cause the ice in the
river to break uo and go sea. -.

How to Set a Hen.

The u. S. Department of Agriculture
recently sent the following bulletin to
| The Republican,: AS the time ap.
proaches for the hen to become broodv
or sit, if care is taken to look into the
nest, it will be seen that there are a
few soft. downy feathers being left
there by the hen; also the hen stavs
longer on the nest when laying at this
time, and on being approached will
quite likely remain on the nest, making
a c!ucking noise, ruffllng her feathers,
and pecking at the intruded. When it
is noted that men sits on the nest
from two to three nights in succession.
and that most Of the feathers are gone
from her brest, which should feel hot
to the hand, she is ready to be trans
ferred to a nest which has been pre-
pared for her beforehand, according to
the poultry specialists of the L. S. De-
partment of Agriculture. The normal
temperature of a hen is 106 to LOT de-
grees which varies slightly during in
cubation.
Dust the hen throughy with insect
powder, and.in applying the powder
hold the hen by the feet head down.
working the powder well into the
feathers, giving special attention to
regions around the vent and under the
wings. The powder should also be
sprinkled in the nest.
The nest should be in some quiet, out
of-the-way place, where the sitting hen
will not be disturbed. Move her from
the regular laying nest at night and
handle her carefully in doing so. Put a
china egg or two IN the nest where she
is to sit, and place a board over the
opening so that she can not get off.
Toward the evening of the second day
quietly go 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 is ready.
Should she return to the nest after
feeding, remove the china egg or eggs
and put under those that are to be in
cubated. If the nests are slightly dark
ened the hens are less likely to become
restless. At Matching time they should
be confined and not disturbed until the
hatch is completed, unless they become
restless, when it may be best to remove
the chicks that are Matched first. II
cool weather 1t is best not to put more
than 10 eggs under a hen, while later
in the spring one can put u to IS, ac-
coriing to the size of the hen.
