MATURE HENS BETTER
SITTERS THAN PULLETS

All poultrymen agree that the gen.
eral purpose breeds, such as the Ply
mouth Rocks, WyandOttes and Rhode
Island Reds, make the best sitters. The
lighter breeds, such as the Leghorns,
Campines and Hamburgs, which are In
reality known and classified as nom
sitting varieties, are too nervous and
fighty for Matching purposes and are
seldom used on that account.
Furthermore, they are SO small and
80 closely feathered as compared to a
Plymouth Rock, Orpington or Brahma,
that they are incapable of covering
large sitting Of eggs or to brood large
hOck of chicks.
1t Is economy to set large hens, be-
cause they can cover more eggs than a
small one, but this point must not be
carried to the extreme of using clumsy
hens. Clumsy fowls are apt to trample
and kill the chicks before the little fell
lows are strong enough to get out Of
the way, or the heavy footed hens are
likely to smash the eggs while moving
about on the nest. The hen that 10 OBJ

PLANNING THE GARDEN.
Method of Laying Out Plot to Conserve
Space and Labor.

Method of Laying Out Plot to Conserve
Space and Labor.
Since even the average garden pre-
pared and planted at random proves q
good investment why not increase Its
returns by following a definite plan?
The possibilities from letting crops
closely follow one another or even
overlap are legion, says a bulletin Of
Pennsylvania State College.
There is for first consideration the
kinds of vegetables. These will depend
largely upon the personal tastes of the
family and the space available. The
average sized garden must be devoted
to green vegetables rather than to crops
like potatoes.
Beds, or patches" are wastefuI of
space and labor. Rows running north
and south the full length of the plot
are economical and convenient. If
full row Of one vegetable Is not desir-
able several kinds may be planted In
the same row, but they should be simi-
lar In cultural habits and length of
growing season.
By separating the vegetables selected
into long and short season crops com
panion cropping" may be practiced
This is simply the planting in adjacent
rows or In the same row Of early and
late maturing crops. With this system
at least half the ground in a garden
may be used twice In a season, even
though full season crops are grown.
For example:
Cabbage plants are set in rows thIr-
ty-six inches apart and twenty-fOur
inches apart In the row. Midway be-
tween the cabbage rows and also be-
tween the plants In the row lettuce is
planted. Early radishes are drilled In
halfway between the lettuce and cab
bage rows.
This combination is harvested as fol.
lows: The radishes In a month and the
lettuce in seven or eight weeks: and
the entire space is then left to the cab
bage, just when it is needed.
Succession cropping" is another
space saving practice. This plan fol-
lows short season crops by a second
planting Of the same vegetable or a
different vegetable.

TUBERCULOSIS IN COWS.
Use Of Tubsroulin Test Best Method Of

NV xwMM~Mw " " W W " " W W y

Use of Tuberoulin Test Best Method Of
Detecting the Disease.
The only reliable way to detect tu-
berculosis in dairy cows Is by use Of
the tuberculin test. according to DR.. ].
FL. Burt, associate professor of veter-
mary medicine in the Kansas State
Agricultural college.
This test can hardly be administered
by the average person. 1t is well to
call in the aid Of competent veter.
marian or some other person who has
had actual experience in diagnosing
the disease.
A cow which is affected with tuber-
culosis-especially In the more ad-
Vanced stages of the disease-will be
poor feeder, may cough and will have
a tendency to lose flesh, but these are
not always sure symptoms of tubercu-
losis. There may be other causes con-
tributing to the same condition. II a
COW does show these symptoms, how
ever, 1t Is advisable to have her exam
ined.
Tubercular cows should be shipped
to the packing houses having govern
ment inspection. Here are special
facilities for handling such animals.
The carcass is very carefully examined
by the government inspector, and If it
Is found to be unfit for food it is con-
demned and made into fertilizer.
If the diseased COW is an especially
valuable animal and it is not deemed
advisable to dispose of her Immediate

~ she should be separated from the
rest of the herd and cared for by spe-
ciul attendant.
1t is well for the dairyman to test
his herd for tuberculosis and eliminate
all those animals that are diseased.
All animals that are purchased should
be tested before they are added to the
herd. All barns and housing quarters
should be properly ventilated and
maintained in a sanitary condition
Throughout Only in this way can the
dairyman be reasonably sure of pro-
tecting his herd against infection.

with the greatest care and precision
and to step lightly is the bird to select
for sitting.
Older fowls usually make better sit
tiers than pullets for the same reason
that the heavier breeds are more de-
pendable than the Mediterranean varie-
ties. The younger fowls are naturally
more high strung temperamentally and
more unsophisticated.

Sour Stomach

This is a mild form of indigestion. 1t
is usually brought on by eating too rapid
ly or too much, or of food not suited tn
your digestive organs. If you will eat
slowly, masticate your food thoroughly,
eat but little meat and none at all for
supper, you will more than likely avoid
the sour stomach without taking any
medicine whatever. When you have
sour stomach take one of Chamberlain
Tablets to aid digestion.

Remembered Lewis
ton In His Viii

The will of the late John P.
Vollmer was filed for record at
Lewiston late last week and shows
that this Idaho pioneer remem-
bered in charming manner the
city of his home for many years
before his death. In the will he
donated $4,000 from his estate
for a building to be known as the
John P. Vollmer institute and
which is to contain a swimming
pool for children under IL years
of age and the hall to be used for
all kinds of lawful public gather
ings, irrespective of religious or
political creeds, and also be-
queaths 10000 square feet of
ground from his estate for a site
for this institute. The sum of
$4,000 was set aside for ten years,
the interest from which is to be
equally divided between the St.
Joseph's hospital, Children's
Homefinding association, the
Lewiston Episcopal church and
the Salvation Army of that place.
After other requests to relatives
and friends the widow of the de-
ceased receives one-third of the
estate and the remainder is to be
divided among the children.
