Care Of Heu With Chicks

When the chickens begin to
hatch, the sitting hen should not
be disturbed unless she is rest.
less and steps on or picks the
chickens. In this case the
chickens should be removed as
soon as dry and placed In a bas
ket lined with flannel or some
other warm material and the
basket placed near fire or ID
some warm place until all the
eggs are hatched. Another plan
IS to re move the eggs from the
restless hen and place them
under more quiet one whose
eggs a. e hatchlng at the same
time.
When the eggs hatch unevenly,
as IS frequently the case, those
which are slow in Matching may
be placed under another hen
Hens often are restless after
part of the chickens are out,
which allows the remaining eggs
to become cool at the very time
when steady heats necessary to
successful and strong matches
Remove the eggshells and any
eggs which have not hatched as
soon as hatchlng Is over.
The mother hen should be fed
as soon as possible after the
eggs are hatched, as feeding
tends to keep her quiet. Hens
that are not so fed Will sometimes
leave their nests. In some cases
it is best that the hen remain on
the nest and brood the chickens
for at least "a hours after the
Matching Is over. 1t Is import
ant at this stage to guard against
lice and mites. Before the hen
and her chickens are removed to
a brooding coop she should be
u sted with a good insect
powder. This should be repeat
ed every two weeks, or often as
is necessary, until the chickens
are weaned. 1t hce become
thick on the chickens, or If they
are troubled with "head lice, a
very little grease such as lard or
vaseline may be applied with
the fingers on the head, neck,
under the wings, and around the
vent. Great care IS necessary,
however, not to get too much
grease on the chickens, as it
will stop their growth and IN
some cases may prove fatal.

Gardening Hints For May.

This is the month in which the
bulk of the garden produce is put
In. Early cabbage, potatoes and
cauhaower plants should all be
set by this time. Some sugges
tions come flom Pennsylvania
State College vegetable garden.
Ing experts.
About May |, the second early
wrlnkled peas may be sown, fol-
lowed by another planting about
the middle of the month. These
will be the last of the spring peas
for most sections of Pennsyl
vania; those sown later will not
likely mature before the warm
dry weather of su N mer sets in.
Sweet corn and garden beans
may be started soon after the
first of the month, If the gardener
Is inclined to be venturesome. Ii
the late frosts do not get these
paintings, there will be extra
early sweet corn and snap beans.
The safe date is usually May Is,
at which time a second planting
should be made, IN order to pro-
vide a succession.
Through this month, small
weekly paintings should be made
Of lettuce and radishes, in order
to supply the table with these
relshes at their best. For the
later paintings, use the white
radlshes. They do not become
so hot as the red ones.
The early beets, carrots, SPIN
ach and radlshes started in the
latter part of April should be
thinped to stand from one to
three inches apart. Cultivate to
discourage small weeds. If weed
control Is begun at this time
there will be fewer weeds to com
bat later on.
For the southern tier Of Penn
sylvania counties. May Is is the
safe date for setting ucumbers,
tomatoes, peppers and eggplants.

Per Person Month if the Present
Meagre Allied Sugar Ration
Is Maintained.
Stocks VIII Be Short Until Beginning of New
Year-Ration May Be Enlarged Then.

Two pounds of sugar month-halt
pound a week-that is the sugar ra-
ton the q. S. Food Administration
has asked every American TO observe
until January 1, 1919. in order to make
sure there shall be enough for our
Army and Navy, for the Allied armies
and for the civilians of those nations.
By New Years the world sugar sit
uation will be relieved somewhat by
the new crop. Cuban sugar of this
years crop will be arriving in this
country.
Every available sugar source will be
drawn on by the Food Administration
during the next winter months to main
tain sufficient stocks here to keep up
our national sugar supply. During Oc-
tober the first American beet sugar
will arrive in the markets. By the
middle of November some of our Lou
isiana cane crop will be available. All
of this sugar and more may be needed
to keep this nation supplied on a re-
duced ration and to safeguard the Al
lied sugar ration from still further
