CURIOSITY MAY
SPOIL THE HATCH

Many people using incubators for
get the old maxim about counting
their chickens, and by opening the
door to see how many eggs are pipped,
materially reduce the number finally
Matched. The last three days of in
cubation is the most critical part of
the Matching period, says T. S. Towns
ley of the University of Missouri Col
lege of Agriculture, and the care at
this time has an important bearing
upon the Matching per cent. At this
stage the control of temperature and
the regulation of moisture supply are
particularly important. The temper
ature after the eighteenth day must
be watched carefully. The activity of
the chicks creates heat and there is
tendency for the temperature to
rise. Any considerable increase in
the heat in the machine weakens the
chick and drives hout moisture, thus
causing the chick to dry fast to the
shell. Opening the incubator door to
show the neighbors what a wonderful
hatch is promised also allows all mois-
ture to escape, cools the machine and
thus gives the chicks a shock which
adds materially to the list of dead in
shell.
On the eighteenth day the machine
should be closed and not opened again
until the hatch is finished. During
this time the temperature should be
watched closely and regulated by
turning the lamp down so that the
temperature on level with the top of
the eggs will not be above 105 de-
grees. The machine should be dark
ened during the Matching period to
prevent the first Matched chicks from
trampling those from coming out lat
err. There is nothing gained by help
ing chicks out of the shell as those
unable to get out unaided are not
worth the effort required to help them
out. After the Matching is finished the
shells and unmatched eggs should be
removed and the temperature of the
machine gradually reduced to about
95 to SO degrees and the chicks left
in until the brooder is ready.

FARMERS MUST PLACE WORK
Frs IN DEFERRED CLASS

The government does not intend to
hinder farm operations any more than
is absolutely necessary by the COM
ing draft quotas. Provision has been
made for placing Class / men, who
are actually engaged in agricultural
production, in deferred classes. Dean
F. B. Mumford of the University of
Missouri College of Agriculture,
Chairman of the Missouri Council of
Defense, calls attention to. recent
statement issued by the Department
of Labor at Washington. 1t is APP
parent from this statement that farm
ers must take action at once to have
their labor placed in the deferred
class:
"a new draft of about 10000 men
shortly will be called to the colors.
The Provost Marshall General has
ordered that men actively, assidu-
ously and completely engaged in the
planting or cultivation of a crop but
who are listed in Glass of the draft
and within the new quota should be
deferred until the end of the new quo
ta.'
"The local draft boards, being ju-
dicial bodies, cannot defer the call of
such men, however, unless the farm
ers employing them support their
claims for such deferred classification
with affidavits. 1t is therefore of vi
tai Importance that farmers imme-
diately execute and file such affida-
Wits with the local boards.
"If farmers whose hands are af-
fected in this new call fail to follow
this advice, they should have no cause
for complaint if their men are taken
from them at this critical time. 1t will
be useless and unreasonable later to
protest if they have done nothing to
retain their help. Immediate action
on the part of every farmer whose
employees are affected is essential and
should not be delayed under any cir
cumstances."

MRS. DOLLIE WELLS

Mrs. Dollie Wells departed this life
March 81, 1918, at the age of 81
years, at her home near Knob Lick,
Mo. She had been in poor health for
the past year. All that could be done
and kind care could accomplish was
done for her, but to no avail. Dollie
will be greatly missed, but we know
she is at rest.
She was a member of the Christian
church, where funeral services were
held, on Friday, March 2sth.
She leaves to mourn her death a
husband, one son and host of other
relatives and friends.
Peaceful be your silent slumber,
Peaceful in your grave so low;
You no more will join our number,
You no more our sorrows know.
Yet again we hope to meet you
When the day of life is fled,
And in heaven with joy to greet you,
Where no farewell tears are shed.

ENCOURAGE HENS TO SIT

Every hen that stays OIL the nest
until egg gathering time during
March and April should be encouraged
in her desire to sit if natural meth
DDS are being depended upon for the
early crop of chicks, according to I.
S. Townsley of the University of
Missouri College of Agriculture. In
addition to being humored in her de-
sire she should be provided with a
suitable nest and given her compile
ment of eggs as soon as her mind
seems settled on the business of sit
ting.
1t is not desirable that she should
sit in the nest where she has been lay
ing, as the other hens are likely to
disturb her and cause broken eggs
and poor hatch. After she has been
on the nest a couple of days she can
easily be transferred to a desirable
location by moving her after dark to
a nest where she can be confined. Ii
she, is provided with wefthless or IN
breakable eggs until she becomes ac-
customed to the new surroundings, the
Matching eggs can be safely intrusted
to her care.
When she is moved to the new nest
she should be treated with sodium
fiuorid to rid her of lice. This is ap-
piled by putting small pinches of the
powder on different sections of the
body and busting it lightly through
the feathers. After the hen is set
she should be confined to the nest and
not disturbed except once each day
when she should be turned out to get
feed and water.

WARNS AGAINST FLIES

The most important time in fly con-
troll is during early spring when the
first housefy appears. One fly de-
stroyed now is equivalent to the de-
struction of millions few weeks lat
err. L. Haseman of the University of
Missouri College of Agriculture
points out three objects to be kept in
mind in eliminating flies. In the first
place, the pest should be prevented
from breeding; second, from reaching
germ-laden filth; and third, from
coming in contact with human food.
The first step in eliminating flies is
to destroy the breeding places. The
pest passes the winter largely in the
immature stage in stable manure and
in other breeding places. The stable
manure should be cleaned out and
scattered before warm weather. Clean
stables during spring and summer al
so help to keep the flies in check.
If it is not convenient TO scatter ma
nure in the field it may be treated by
using ono pound of commercial bo-
rax to every Is bushels of manure as
the manure is removed from the sta
BILE, This will prevent flies from
breeding in it.
To keep flies from germ-laden filth,
all dosets should be provided with a
deep dark pit which is kept fly
proof during the summer and which
is constantly disinfected with lime.
CLOSETS should not be tolerated in
cities and towns where sewer sys-
tenn is maintained. All garbage and
Other decaying vegetable matter
should be carefully protected and dis
posed of to prevent flies from breed
ing in it.
M. Haseman recommends that the
HON, be screened and that foods with
in the home be carefully protected
Customers she uld insist that mer-
chants and market keepers take ev-
cry precaution against allowing flies
to come in contact with food while il
is in their hands. Fly traps, poison
bait, sticky paper and other weapons
should be used in combating this pest

TO JOIN THE NAVY

Young men of Maryland contem-
plating enlistment in the service are
urged by the States Navy Recruiting
Authorities not TO overlook the fact
that they can now enlist in the reg
ular Navy for the duration of the
war only.
This ruling by the Bureau of Nav
igation put the Navy on an equal ba-
sis with all other military units that
are accepting the services of young
men for only as long as the war
lasts.
The Navy needs men for its Avia
ton Branch, and it is generally
agreed that no other branch of the
better advantages than the Navy's
airplane division.
Recruits for this division are en-
listed as Quartermasters, if they
have the necessary qualifications,
and Carpenters Mates, if they have
sufficient knowledge of carpentry to
enable them to perform such duties
about the Aviation Camps
In addition to men for the avia
ton service, the Navy needs a great

Melrose Entertainment
This Wednesday Night

The Cambridge people who attend
the Melrose entertainment Wednes
day evening will be greetd by one of
the finest programs given in Cam
bridge in recent years. Miss Mel
rose has appeared in Cambridge be-
fore as a soprano soloist with Vic
tors Band, when she proved to be
one of the most popular singers ever
heard in this section.
The other members of the MelroSe
Company are the best that can be
procured in New England. Each is
soloist capable of giving an entire
program alone, and the Company
combined for a program is worth 60
ing miles to see.
The program will include the
beautiful Garden Scene, from Faust,
with Miss Melrose as the leading
character. There will be patriotic
and soul-stirring music representa-
tive of the four Allies, England,
France, Italy, United States. The
music will be such as can be appre-
ciated and enjoyed by all. The songs
that Miss Melrose will sing include:
Comm Thru The Rye, Tipperary,
Molly Malone, There's a Long, Long
Trail Awinding, Over There, l May
Be Gone For a Long, Long Time,
Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old
Kit Bag and Smile, Smile, Smile,
Keep The Home Fires Burning, The
Marseillaise, Somewhere in France
is Lily. The Star Spangled Banner.
The Italian songs will be sung in
costume with tamourine. Miss Mel
rose will sing the Marseillaise, the
French national song wearing the
French tri-colors.
She will sing the trench songs and
the Star Spangled Banner in the cos
tune of an American Red Cross
nurse. This program has been Civ
en- by Miss MelroSe and Company in
Boston and in other cities of New
England during the past few weeks,
and has taken every audience by
storm. If you attend the Melrose
concert you will have something to
remember for years. You will get
your moneys worth, and more, and
you will be aiding good cause in
helping to raise money for the Asso-
ciated Charities of Cambridge. What
money is not raised by this enter
tainment the people of Cambridge
will be asked to contribute outright,
so you might just as well buy tickets
for the Melrose entertainment and
get double value for your money.
Everybody in Cambridge will be
talking about this entertainment the
day after it is gone. The best time
to get interested is now, and get
tickets to enjoy it
