CONSULTATION vi PAR ] MEfsT
How to Set a Hen

The first sign of hen being broody
| (wanting to set is that she stays
longer on the nest when laying, and
on being approached will quite likely
remain and make a clucking noise,
ruffle her feathers, and peck at the
intruder. When it is noted that hen
sets on a nest from two to three
nights in succession and that the
feathers are disappearing from her
breast, which should feel hot to the
hand, she is ready to be transferred
for setting to nest which has pre-
viously been prepared. The normal
temperature of hen is from JOG de-
grees to LOT degrees F., which varies
slightly during incubation.
The nest should be in some quiet
out-of- the-way place, where the set
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 set and place
a board over the opening so that she
cen not get off.
Toward the evening of the second
day quietly go in where she is set
ting, leave some feed and water, re-
move the board from the front or top
of the nest, and let the hen come off
when she is ready. Should she re-
turn to the nest after feeding, remove
the china egg or eggs and put under
those that are to be incubated. 1t
the nests are slightly darkened the
hens are less likely to become rest
less.
At Matching time they should be
confined and not be disturbed until
the hatch is completed, unless they
become restless, when it may be best
to remove the chicks that are hatch
ed first. In cool weather it is best
not to put more than ten eggs under a
hen, while later in the spring one can
put IL or Is, according to the size of
the hen.
Dust the hen thoroughly with in
sect powder, and in applying the
powder hold the hen by the feet, the
head down, working the powder well
into the feathers, giving special at
tcntion to regions around the vent
and under the wings. The powder
should also be sprinkled in the nest.

Pm a long ways north Of gay Paris
only stopped there one day on the
way here, little over three months
now. and am close to the lines; the
town has been shelled by big guns
once since we came here. I've come
to the conclusion that the war will
end in May or June, but it will be in
1919. I've the best of reasons for
thinking so, for over here we know
! lots of things the people in the states
never dream of, and learn that many
reports that are spread around over
there are absolutely false.
/ shall consider myself exceeding
ly fortunate if / am home by the first
of 1920. This war is not child's play
by any means. I've seen quite a few
men die violent and sudden deaths;
twice friends of mine have shaken
hands with me and inside Of five min
utes fallen to their deaths before my
eyes. One fell within 200 feet of me.
My turn may come sometime, If a
bomb don't get me first. Things like
this make one do some tall thinking
and one gets feeling that is a thou
sand times worse than inconsistencies.
One thinks of what they will do when
they get back home and just gets to
feeling good, and then thinks, What
| if get bombed off ?" and there comes
such a change 1t is not fear of
death, for death is nothing of which
to be afraid, but the thought of what
one will miss if it should come his
turn.
Well, father, I'll have to ring off
on this mournful dope or I'll be get
