After three weeks of earnest study

FoRDs HAD MUCH TROUBLE.
But of Course They All Got
Through.


Osceola, Ia, March 12.-Here's a
new Ford story. Last Saturday
twelve men left here to drive that
many Ford cars from Chicago for the
local dealer, who could not get his
supply because of the shortage Of
freight cars. The party left Chicago
Tuesday morning and all went well
until they arrived somewhere be-
tween Clinton and Mechanicsville.
The road there was muddy and when
the second car in the line got into
the mud, the engine was killed.
The driver of the third car was
unable to stop in time to avoid hit
ting the second car, but the impetus
given by the collision, started the en-
CINE in the second car which again
took the road. But the fourth car in
line hit the third and the fifth hit the
fourth and so on until there were
seven Fords in the mix-up. However,
no serious damage was done beyond
a few bent tenders and the twelve
automobiles arrived in Osceola We'd

HOW TO SET A HEN.

Washington.-As the time APP
proaches for the hen to become
broody or sit, if care is taken to look
into the nest, it will be seen that
there are few soft, downy feathers
being left there by the hen; also the
hen stays longer on the nest when
laying at this time, and on being ap-
preached will quite likely remain on
the nest, making clucking noise,
ruffling her feathers, and pecking at
the intruder. When it is noted 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 trans
ferred to nest which has been pre-
pared for her beforehand, according
to the poultry specialists in the u. S.
Department of Agriculture. The nor.
NAL temperature of hen is from
107 degrees to 107 degree F., which
varies slightly during incubation.
Dust the hen thoroughly with insect
powder, and in applying the powder
hold the hen by the feet, the head
down, working the powder we'll 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 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 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 quiet
ly 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 incubated. IL
the nests are slightly darkened the
