ARRANGING NEST
FOR BROODY AEN
TRY Out All Fowls Before Giving
Them Eggs Selected for
incubation
DUST WITH INSECT POWDER
At Matching Time Biddy Should Not
Be Disturbed Until All Chicks Are
Out-Pian of Model Coop
Given Herewith.
This is the way to set a hen.

AS the time approaches for the hen
to become broody or sit, and care is
taken to look into the nest, it will be
seen that there are n few soft, downy
feathers being left there by the hen;
also the hen stays longer on the nest
when laying at this time and en- being
approached will quite likely remain
on the nest making q clucking noise,
ruffling her feathers and pecking at
the intruder When it is noted that a
hen sits on q nest for two or 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 transferred to nest
which has been prepared for her be-
forehand. The normal temperature of
the hen is from JOG degrees to 107 de-
grees f., which varies slightly during
incubation.
/ Dust the hen thoroughly with in
sect powder, holding her by the feet
with the head down and working the
powder well into the feathers. The
powder should also be sprinkled in
the nest. The nest should be in some
quiet, out-of-the-way place where the
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 in the nest where she
is to sit, and place board over the
opening so that she cannot get off
Toward evening of the second day &c
in quietly 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 Wher
she is ready. Should she return to the
nest after feeding, remove the chin;
egg or eggs and put under those tina
are to be incubated. If the nests arr
slightly darkened the hens are les
likely to become restless. At hatchin:
time they should be confined and no
be disturbed until the Matching is com
pleted unless they become restless
when it may be best to remove tn
chicks that are Matched first. In coo
weather it is best not to put NOR
: than ten eggs under the hen. Later i
the spring one can put l. to 10, az
cording to the size of the hen.

How TO Shin Hatchinq EGGS.

Eggs for Matching can be shipped ey
tensively over long distances successful
ly, but in many cases the shipment ap-
pears to affect the hatch. Setting eggs
are packed for shipment in several diff
ferent ways. One of the best methods
is to use common market basket well
lined on the bottom and sides with ex-
celsior. After wrapping the eggs in a
thin layer of paper and enough excel
sior to make a ball Of about three
inches in diameter, pack them tightly
in the basket, then put on covering
of excelsior, and over all sew piece Of
strong cotton cloth, or the cloth can be
pushed up under the outside rim of the
basket with a case knife. The latter
method of fastening the cloth is much
quicker than the former and just as
effective. Eggs are also shipped safely
almost any distance by packing them
in a stiff pasteboard carton or box
made fos this purpose, the space

around the egg being filled with either
chaff or bran. This package is, then
placed in a basket, the bottom and
sides of which are lined with excelsior,
and the spaces at either end of the
box are packed with the same ma
terial. On top of this package is
placed more excelsior and all is COW
cred with cloth, as previously men
toned. Extra stiff cardboard cartons
made to hold from one to several set
tings are used in which to ship eggs
These cartons or egg boxes are fitted
with a handle for carrying, similar to
that on a market basket. Bushel bas
kets are commonly used to ship orders
of from 10 to II Sittings of eggs, th'
manner of packing and covering being

CREDIT MEN GET
AFTER PROFITEERS
Claim That Crooked Business Men Have
Reaped Fortunes Through
Illegal Practices.

NEW YORK, April IA vigorous
campaign against crooked business men
who are said TO have reaped fortunes
through Illegal trade practices was
launched today by the investigation
and credit department Of the National
Association of Credit Men. according
TO an announcement by f. Brown Sny-
der, chairman of the committee.
Credit associations throughout the
United States have been asked. accord
ing to Mr. Snyder, to participate in
the work of conveying to the 100000
credit men in the country the informa-
ton that the investigation and prose
cution department is at their command
in all cases where there appears to be
evidence of commercial fraud. There
will be no compromises, he stated
where it becomes manifest after in
vestigation that crime has been com
mitted
The purpose of the movement, Mr.
1 Snyder says, it to reduce the losses OF
Legitimate tradesmen, prevent unfair
competition and help cut down the higf
cost of living.
Because of the present high price:
for merchandise, Il he declared, "crook
ed dealers find it particularly attrac
tive to obtain on credit goods for whicl
they never intend to settle. With til,
goods purchased on credit in their pos
session, they find no difficulty in dis
posing of them at less than the marke
value, which means that the homes
merchant who is competing with tn
rogue is placed as disadvantage.
I'VE intend to educate the credi
men in this country to be more careful
in giving credit and when crime ha
been committed not to accept offers o
settlement. We do not intend to prose
cute people who cannot pay their bill,
but to prosecute those who delibcratel

Coop for Hen and Chicks.

Have the brood coops ready for the
hens and chicks when they come off
the nests. Coops may be made of
waste lumber or of boxes. Quarters
similar to the one shown in the illus
tration above have given excellent
satisfaction. The coop should be made
so that it can be closed at night to
keep out cats, rats and other animals,
and enough ventilation should be al
lowed SO that the hens and chicks will
have plenty of fresh air.
The coop shown is built on wooden
floor, but is not nailed to this floor
This allows it to be lifted completely
off the floor, which greatly facilitates
cleaning. The sides fit over the edge
of the floor to make it tight and dry
