These are sent through the division Of

REMEMBER SPRING CLEANUP
Make Plans for Betterment Of
the Home City.

With the approach of spring "city
beautiful" work should have the atten-
ton of householders and others who
appreciate the Importance of clean
streets, clean yards ami well-kept
lawns. Birmingham is noted for it's
mountain-like scenery, its elegant
homes and it's fine landscape effects.
Such attractions form a distinct civic
asset. In the fashionable sections the
grounds making up the setting for styl-
ish houses are carefully tended, and in
many of the humber districts evil
dences of good sanitation and refined
taste are seen; but flowers and green
sward should be the rule everywhere.
1t costs little money to keep pretty

town" is married by thoughtless pedes-
TRANS. Not only is this so on the cor
ner lots, but the spaces between the
curbing and the sidewalk that should
be lush and green during the greater
part of the year is soon ruined after
the advent of spring by being trampled
upon.
The public parks are usually in ex-
cellent condition, and it should be the
same way with the strips of green
along the sidewalks. The City Beauti-
full association did great educational
work a few years ago and it should
again display its activity in the little
things that contribute to the quiet
adornment of Birmingham. Now is the
time to plan for new educational
drive in respect of the restful and the

How to Shin Hatchina Eaas.

Eggs for Matching can be shipped ex-
tensively over long distances successful
~, 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 a 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 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 for this purpose. the space

around the egg being filled with either
chaff or bran. This package is then
placed in 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 market basket. Bushel bas-
kets are commonly used to ship orders
Of from 10 to IL sittings Of eggs, the
manner of packing and covering being
the same as mentioned in the first
method

Cavite Flashes Time Over Pacific.

Since October l the radio station at
Cavite, cooperating with the Philip
pine bureau of posts and the Manila
observatory. has been sending out
time signals of the 10th meridian
east of Greenwich at IL a. m. and 10
p. m. every day, says Science.
For the purpose of sending time sig
mails, the transmitting clock of the
Manila observatory is connected with
the Cavite wireless station through
the bureau of posts. Manila observa-
tory time signals begin at 0:55 a. m.
and 1855 p. M, standard time of the
120th meridian east of Greenwich, and
continue for five minutes. During this
interval every tick of the clock Is
transmitted. except the 2Sth. 10Th,
54th, 55th, seth, 57th, 5Sth and Goth
of each minute.
The situation of Manila in the Pa
clflc makes this service of the great
est importance TO the mercantile ana
naval fleets that ply upon that ocean.

ARRANGING NEST
FOR BROODY HEN
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, 1t will be
seen that there are few soft, downy
feathers being left there by the hen ;
also the hen stays longer on the nest
when laying at this time and on being
approached will quite likely remain
on the nest making a clucking noise,
ruffiing her feathers and pecking at
the intruder. When 1t is noted that a
hen sits on 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 a nest
which has been prepared for her be-
forehand. The normal temperature of
the hen is from 106 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 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 go
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 when
she is ready. Should she return to the
nest after feeding, remove the china
egg or eggs and put under those that
are to be incubated. If the nests are
slightly darkened the hens are less
likely to become restless. At Matching
time they should be confined and not
be disturbed until the Matching is COM
pleted unless they become restless,
when it may be best to remove the
chicks that are Matched first. In cool
weather it is best not to put more
than ten eggs under the hen. Later in
the spring one can put II to 10, ac-
cording to the size of the hen.

NO PLACE IN PARK SYSTEM
Public Buildings in Their Beauti-
full Breathing Places.

The first and most important law Of
landscape gardening is to preserve
open lawn centers. In city planning,
as in all art, the same law prevails,
and we have the modern civic center,
with buildings around small park.
San Francisco's new civic center is a
grand example of this type.
Many of our small cities have SINH
lar aspirations and some have made a
splendid beginning. One of these is the
little city of Inglewood, Cal. But now
they are offered Carnegie library
and it is purposed to place it in the
center or middle of the park system.
With such precedent the whole area
may some time be covered with build
ings so that where now is generous
and beautiful breathing place there
will then be the most congested dis
trict in the municipality. Or, If but
the one building is allowed to violate
the scheme all other public buildings
will be staring at this poor little
structure. seemingly wondering why
this one impertinent individual he's
been allowed to so trespass and the re-
mainder have been excluded. And all
visitors will be struck with a like won
der. Aside from the violation of the
proper spirit, the fine long view, the
systems greatest charm, will be de-
stroyed. The high and grammar
schools, the city hall, engine house
and other building lots now face the
park and it is hoped that the city will
secure another lot for library site.
If this is not done it will ever be a
cause of regret and step backward
admitted by all who know. Several
citizens of taste have already objected
to the proposed site. Other cities will
do well to avoid making such mis-
takes.

Urues Need of PLAY.

The necessity and desirability of
sufficient play to relieve the strain of
daily effort are dwelt upon in bulle-
tin recently issued by DR.. Samuel G..
Dixon, health commissioner of the
commonwealth of Pennsylvania, who
says:
'Most people would say that plays
first requisite was that it should con-
sist of something one doesn't have to
do. Play is in reality, however, of all
sorts and descriptions. Those that pro-
duce something useful besides giving
rest are greatly to be preferred. There
are many sorts equally stimulating to
the mind and to the body and produc-
tive of valuable results. One essential
to beneficial play is that it DO whole
some and be performed in a healthful
environment, that is, where we have
pure-moving air of the right tempera-
ture and preferably sunlight.

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.
The door, covered with one-half-inch
wire netting, slides in back of the slat
front to close the coop, and is pushed
