HOW TO BREAK BR00DY FOWL
conhne Hen In Small Coop With Slat
Bottom and Give Her Plenty Of
Water to Drink.

When hens become broody and it Is
not desired to allow them to hatch
chickens, they should be ''broken up
as quickly as possible. The sooner this
is done the sooner they will resume
laying. To break a hen of b%roodiness
she should be confined to q small coop,
preferably with a slat bottom. Give
her plenty of water to drink ; she may
be fed or not, as desired. Not much
difference will be found in the time
required to break her Of b%r0odiness
whether she is fed or made to fast.
Usually three to six days Of confine-
ment will do the work. but some hens
require ten to twelve days. The broody
hen will be recognized by her inclina-
ton to stay on the nest at night, the
rufiing Of her feathers and her de-
sire to pick anyone who approaches
her, aud BY the clucking aoise she
makes.

We find more entertainment than in
struction in an editorial of the Hart
ford Courant on the revised use Of
barley. 1t refers to it's use in Bible
times and finds this verse in the Book
of Judges to give an idea of it's quail
ity:
"And when Gideon was come, be-
hold there vas a man that told a
dream unto his fellow, and said, Be-
hold, I dreamed a dream, and 10, a
cake of barley bread tumbled into the
host of indian and came unto a tent
and s1note it that it fell and over
turned it, that the tent lay along"
The COurant seems to approve Of
the use Of barley flour, though admit
ting some difficulties in preparing it
for bread. But it takes this Bible
verse as evidence that it's density
would make it serviceable as q pro-
jectile.-Waterbury American.

Before this h%igh-school graduate Of
unusual accomplishments obtained her
present position of indoor mechanic,
she proved herself as efficient as the
men in doing line work, climbing poles
and replacing wires as readily as any
of them, says Popular Mechanics, in
describing her attainments.
But for the val and the shortage Of
men having mechanical experience, she
probably would not be filling a mans
place.
However, being fond of mechanics
and having a knowledge Of electricity,
she intends to remain at her post until
peace comes, and then get a college

French Nerve.

A French balloon observer was at

days he went up in his bulky sausage
and remained there unperturbed by
whistling shells, directing the fire Of
American batteries. On the fifth day
a German airplane dived from a low
cloud with its machine gun going. The
balloon dissolved in flame and smoke,
and the observer took to his para

The BOche airman, not content with
destroying the sausage, pursued the

is preferable to build more open, and
consequently less expensive, houses In
the South than in the North. The best
site for the poultry house depends prin-
cipally on the local conditions. The
location should have good water and
air drainage, so that the floor and
yards will be dry, while the house
should not occupy q low pocket OF hol-
low in which cold air settles, and 1t
should be situated for convenience In
management and adapted to the avail
able land. Wherever possible a south
ern or southeastern exposure should
be selected, although this is not essen
tial if there is any good reason for fac
ing the house in q different direction
Poultry can be raised successfully on
any well-drained soil. A light loan
which will grow good grass is well
adapted for this purpose, while a very
light sandy soil through which the wa
ter teaches freely will stand more in
tensive poultry conditions, but most of
the green feed for the fowls kept on
such q soil will have to be purchased.
A heavy clay or adobe soil is not as
well adapted to poultry raising, as
such land does not drain readily, and
It is much more difficult to keep the
stock healthy. Long stationary houses,
or the intensive system, I've steps,
but it is easier to keep the birds healthy
and to reproduce the stock under the
colony system, where the birds are al
lowed free range. Breeding stock, and
especially growing chickens, should
have an abundance of range, while
hens used solely for the production OF
market eggs may be kept on a very
small area with good results. The col
ony house system ~necessitates placing
the houses, holding about 100 hens,
from 200 to $50 feet apart, SO that the
stock will not kill the grass. The col
ony system may be adapted to severe
winter conditions by drawing the col
ony houses together in a convenient
place at the beginning of winter, thus
reducing the labor during these months.

RUSSIA'S RICH TIMBER LANDS
ovstematic Expectation Would Have q
Great Effect on the Markets
of the World.

An article in a current magazine by
A. J. Sack presents statistics on Rus
sia's forest as a means Of
paying the billions of dollars due to
home and foreign creditors.
The astonishing statement is made
BY this writer that Russia, including
Siberia, has 1,125, 100000 acres of tim
Der which is 60 per cent as much as
the whole world possessed. This re-
source is being set aside by Russian
economists as a fund to pay the coun-
try's debts.
The effect on Americas business
should be duly considered, observes
Hardwood Record in discussing the ar
ticle. Except oak, it continues, which
is generally known in the market as
the Japanese oak, it is not probable
that much Russian timber will reach
the United States but it will compete
with American lumber in other mar
kets, notably those of western Europe,
and perhaps those Of eastern Asia,
western South America and the Pacific
islands.
ITO that extent" says Hardwood
Record, 'our lumber business may be
hurt by the flood Of forest products
from Russia. In normal times Ger
many received 48 per cent of its lum-
Der imports from Russia, and Eng
lands per cent of timber imports from
that source was nearly as large.
Lumber shipments from Russia will
come from the Baltic, from the Arctic
coast Of Russia proper and Siberia.
and from the Pacific coast Of the lat
ter country. The principal lumber
markets of the world can be reached
from those points"

In order to be more successful In
raising chickens the poultrymen should
provide a house which meets certain
requirements. It need not be an ex-
pensive structure but It is essential
that the hens have a comfortable
house which Is dry, roomy, and
abundantly supplied with fresh air
and sunlight. It never pays to over
crowd the fowls.

That thou hast had enough of kings,
And days Of lords are passed;

Deep in thy children's hearts there dwels
A love that naught may still;

Too long hath Albann's freeborn sons
Felt the false spoilers hand;
Too long Teutonic cultures cursed

Motors and Gasoline.

Because Of the very serious short
age of labor for farm work and the
high wages for even the most indlt-
ferent tcharacter of farm laborers
obtainable, improved Implements,
machinery, and every character OF
mechanical help that will enable
the farmer to accomplish desired
results with as little human labor
as possible, becomes actually the
pressing necessity.
In breaking and cultivating, the
tractor. with such implements as
can be practically used in connec-
ton with it, is doing much to solve
the problems on farms of over one
hundred acres, and even on smaller
acreage, where conditions are right.
The motor truck andautomobile
probably have done as much or
more to multiply man power than
anything else.
Where ordinary, or very inefti-
Gent laborers are being paid from
two to as high as three dollars per
day, speed" becomes the greatest
economical factor in securing maxi
mum results from the least man
power.
But few farms, owned or rented,
are without one or more automo-
biles, and many now have trucks
doing heavy hauling where the
roads permit of their economical
use.
The automobile on the farm per-
forms at least ninety per cent for
business purposes as against ten
per cent for pleasure and recrea-
ton.
A full supply of motor vehicles
and gasoline at prices that we can
afford to pay, is today the farmers
most important equipment.
Scarcity and Formidable prices
will seriously handicap production.
