SEPARATE SITTING COOP FOR TURKEY HEN.
u sufficient number Of turkey hens
should be allowed to sit to take all the
poults Matched. They can be given
few eggs from the incubator or froE-
under the chicken hens and allowed to
hatch the pOults themselves, or at

Nests for sitting turkey and chicken
hens re best made on the ground by
hOllc ing out Il lille earth, so that the
center is deep enough to keep the eggs
from rolling out OF the nest. A. thin
covering of clean straw or hay can
then be used to prevent the eggs from
being directly on the ground, and
large roomy coop should be placed over
the nest to keep the hen from being
disturbed.
When hen becomes brOOdy and
shows that she is in earnest 10y re-
naming on her nest for two or three
nights she may safely be trusted with
in that nest. If she is to be set III an
other nest. as is usually the case, then
she should be removed to the new nest,
preferably after dark. given q few nest
eggs and shut in to prevent her from:
returning to the old one. If she sits
quietly On the nest eggs she should ba
taken off OIL the evening Of the fol
lowing day and the eggs TO be iRcubat-
ed placed III the nest. On being freed
she will probably return to her old
nest If 50 she should be carried back
and set quietly on the eggs, when she
will Immediately feel them beneath her
and settle down to cover them.
Turkey hens do not ordinarily come
of for feed and water more than once
every two or three days, but when
confined they should be given an OPP
pOrtunity to come off every day. Occa-
siOnalIy turkey ben does not come
off at all, and in such case she should
be taken off once a day, as otherwise
she will die on the nest.
4 dust bath is greatly enjoyed by sit
ting hens nuI helps to keep them free
from vermin. Whole corn is good
feed, and fresh water and grit should
always be accessible.
Lice are a great annoyance to sitting
hens and are one of the worst enemies
Of young pOults. To prevent their get
ting q fcothold the hen should be dust
cd thoroughly with some good lice pow
Ger before she is placed On the nest,
and then both the hen and nest should
be similarly treated once q week for
the first three weeks of the incubation
period. The nesting material should
be kept clean, and if the eggs become
dirty they should be washed with a
soft cloth dipped in lukewarm water
Just before the points are TO hatch the
old nesting material aipuld be replaced
with clean straw.
The Incubation period of turkey eggs
Is tweEty-eigit days.

BADLY GNAWED TREES SAVE1
Scions Cut Long Enough to Insert Into
Bark Above and Below Wound
Are Effcacious.

Trees that are badly kntlwed may
be saved by bridge grating. Cover
the wound with grating wax, after
which wrap securely with burlap or
cover with earth. The scions are cut
long enough to insert into the bark be-
low and above the wound. From three
to five are commonly used on injured
trees,
If the injury extends to less than
half the distacce around the tree it is
not necessary to bridge graft as the
bark will grow over the wound in one
or two years if the injured portion is
covered and protected to prevent rot
and infection,
If trees are badly injured it will not
pay to transplant them.

Importance. Of increasing profits in
hog raising by c"adicating the parasitic
hog worm is emphasized by Dr.. Il. r.
DykStra, professor of surgery in the
Kansas State Agricultural college.
Many Inquiries arc being received by
the college from farmers as to the best
means of combating this pest, which
saps its food from the animal and thus
reduces the meat production and makes
the hog more susceptible to disease.
The hog should be starved for eight
cen hours and then fed two and one
half grains of santOnin, Cne-half grain
of calomel, one-half dram Of powdered
areca nuts and one dram Of bicarbonatc
Of soda to 100 pounds OF live hog
weight These substances shOulE lie
administered in the feed OR sICp. III
this way each hog gets all equal por-
ton.
The animals should be kept confined
in pens so that the feces and expelled
worms may be collected for a period
Of forty eight hours after the medicine
has been given. If such feces are not

Turkey hens and chicken hens are
ordinarily used to incubate turkey
eggs, although incubators are quite
generally used where turkeys are
raised on a large scale. During the
early part of the laying season it often
happens that there are On hand num-
Der of eggs that should be set before
any of the turkey hens are through
laying their first litter and become
'broody.' In such case and also when
it is desired to have the turkey hens

RABBITS GNAW APPLE TREES
Covering That Extends From Ground to First Branches Will Afford
 Ample Protection.

If young orchard trees are not pro- tected from rabbits and mice during the winter, they are likely to come out in the spring minus a part of the bark
 Any covering that extends from the ground up to the first branches will serve as protection from attacks by these animals. Such materials as corn stalks, paper, rags, wire screens, or some manufactured covering may be used. If close fitting material like paper or wood veneer is used 1t is best to remove it in the spring to prevent injurious insects and mice from collect ing about the trunk of the tree. Wire protectors may be left on for several years. A mulch of seed or grass should never be piled around young trees in winter.-Clemson College Bull letin.

FASCINATING WIVES.

People think they are paying man a compliment when they say of him: He has won an exceedingly fascinat- ing woman for wife" Nine men out of ten are pleased to have their better halves so described. To the tenth man, the words "a fascinating wife are q stab in a wound which will not heal. These are the men who are welded to women who are delightful companions for acquaintances and friends, but make no attempt 10 be pleasing to their husbands in the home. Their smiles are for the outside world, their frowns and irritability for those about their fireside. If such wives would pay one-tenth of their attention to the men who are entitled to whatever sun- shine they can radiate how different life would be for such husbands. The wife who is the life of q party at din- ner or ball is often glum in her house hold. She makes no attempt to use the little feminine artifices to fas- cinate her husband that she does to attract and keep in with society men tn the ballroom who know only the gay butterfly side of her existence.
 The girl who has been foolishly fiattered into the belief that she is a beauty of unusual type, with a mag netic personality, carries that same conviction into her welded life. It is often dangerous plaything at her command. The fascinating woman has a craving to be admired, to be more popular than the women about her, to attract strangers and hold friends. The world is her playground. Home is merely resting spot between festivities.

LUPINES ARE POISONOUS TO RANGE SHEEP

 Preventive Suggestions.
 In regard to preventing the poison ing of range sheep the specialists offer the following suggestions:
 Sheep should never be taken from the cars to q pasture having much lu- pine. It is cheaper to buy hay. After long drives with insufficient forage avoid grazing grounds which are GOV cred with lupine. If it is necessary to drive sheep over lupine patches, do not hurry them, but allow them to spread out and drift across. Special care should be taken in the fall, when the grass may be covered by a fall of snow, since at such times the lupines may be the only vegetation protruding from the snow covering, and therefore may be eaten in large quantities.
 In the treatment of the fiocks re- member the general fact, which is ap- plicable in regard to all poisonous plants, that Well-fed sheep are not likely to eat injurious plants. Condi-

CONTROL THE APPLE BORERS
Insect Lays Its Eggs in or Under Bark -Most Common Method of
 Eradicating Pests.

The round-headed apple-tree borer which has caused so much trouble to orchardists lays it's eggs in or under the bark of apple trees. After hatch ing the larvae feed upon the inner bark and wood to such an extent that the tree is seriously weakened or killed. The female lays her eggs, one at q time, in the bark, usually just above the surface of the ground. About 15 or 20 days later the larvae appear When full grown these are nearly l F inches long. They form galleries and thrust out little heaps of reddish wood fragments around the base of the tree The following year they live in the trunk and emerge the third year as adult beetles. As the females rarely fly any considerable distance serious infestation may be prevented
 The most common method of rid ding an orchard of these pests is to cut away the bark in the late winter or very early spring sufficiently to trace the burrows made by the borer. A hooked wire is then inserted into the burrow and the insect pulled out. Where the burrows are curved or ob- .tructed in some way so that the wire cannot be inserted, cotton batting dipped in carbon bisulphide may be in- serted and the hole plugged with moist earth. Pure white lead and raw lin- seed oil, mixed rather thick. may De used to coat the trees without injury, and when applied to young smooth bark, will form protective coat dur ing the egg-laying season. Before painting the earth Is removed from the base of the tree for depth of from three to four inches. This is necessary for the beetle occasionally lays her eggs under instead of above the ground.-0range Judd Farmer

churn. During the winter the feed is such that the fat globules become very much harder and this likewise inter feres with ease in churning. The cream also becomes more viscous as the animals advance in their lactation period and this again makes churning more difficult.
 Whenever butter granules fail to ap- pear in about 30 to 40 minutes churn- ing, the cream should be raised in temperature It is well to raise the temperature only a few degrees at q time for if too warm the cream will give butter with very soft salvy tex ture. If on raising the tempera tlre a few degrees the butter refuses to gather, q further raise of temperature is necessary. Whenever raise of temperature does not give satisfactory results, add cold, pure water until the cream is diluted down to about the thickness of milk, reseparate the mix ture and discard the skim milk.

FLOW UNDER THIRD
 CUTTING OF ALFALFA
Ancient lncaS of Peru Practised Method of Fertilization Thou
 sands of Years Ago.

(By D. B HOUSE. Colorado Agricultural
 College. Fort Collins Colo)
 More humus means less frequent irrigation and it also means larger crops. It seems almost a shame to see most of our farmers cutting the third crop of alfalfa, and then blow ing up the field. Whereas, If this blowing were done in the fall about the time the third cutting was ready to harvest, it would give this field dressing of green manure which would be invaluable for it. This is not a theory at all. It has been dem onstrated over and over again. It was profitable practice with the an cient Incas of Peru thousands of years ago. and has been the practice in Flu rope for the past two centuries. It is praeticed today by our most suecnss- full farmers.
