Coop for Hen and Chicks.

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 Stat
front to close the coop, and is pushed

for the plan of a Capitalization of the
allies strategy in the prosecution Of

revision of the allied plan for the pros
ecution Of the war.

Washington, Feb. 22.-Charging the

not constitutionally passed, Represent
alive McLenmore Of Texas introduced
a resolution on Wednesday calling for
an investigation of the vote of the

The gist Of McLenmore's objection
is the amendment passed by bare
two-thirds vote of those present and a
two-thirds vote of both houses is re-
CURED under the Constitution. ETe
contends a full vote of all members
was necessary.
The house membership Is 435. TIE
vote of 282 to 128 fell eight short of

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, it 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,
ruff1ing her feathers and pecking at
the intruder. When it is noted that a
hen sits on q 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 100 degrees to lot de-
grees E., 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 is, ac-
cording to the size of the hen.

How to Ship Hatchina Eoas.

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 a 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
reflective. Eggs are also shipped safely
almost any distance by packing them
lin a stiff pasteboard carton or box
made for this purpose, the spacn

AIRPLANES TO FRANCE
LIBERTY MACHINES COMPLETED
AHEAD OF SCHEDULE.
Problem Now Is to Get
the Men.

Washington, Feb. 22.-The first
American-built battleplanes are en-
route to France, nearly five months
ahead Of the original schedule.
In making this announcement on
Wednesday Secretary Baker said the
first shipment, although in itself not
large, marks the final overcoming Of
many difficulties met in building up
this new and intricate industry"
These planes" Mr.. Baker said, "are
equipped with the first Liberty motors
from machine production. One of them
In recent test surpassed all records
for speed and climbing for planes Of
that type.
Engine production, which began a
month ago, Is now on a quantity basis
and the peak of production will be
reached in few weeks.
"Only the twelve-cylinder type is be-
ing made, as developments abroad
have made it wise to concentrate on
the Nhigh-powered engine instead of the
eight-cylinder."
Optimistic as these statements an
pear, the secretary said they should
not be exaggerated and should be con-
siderd in the light Of these facts.
That after three years of warfare
the total number OF planes able to take
the air at any one time on either side
of the western front has not been more
than $500.
That 46 men are required on the
ground for every plane in the air, maxi
Ing total Of 115,000 men needed for.
the present maximum Of $500 planes.
That for every plane in the air there
must be two replacement planes on
the ground and one training plane for
every pilot who eventually reaches the
front, with a spare engine for each
plane.

NESTS FOR SITTING HENS.

Where only a few hens are set
; special quarters are not neces-
sary, but If many are used
separate room SHOULD be provid-
ed. If portable nests have been
provided for the laying hens, the
.sitters can be moved in them to
; new quarters. OF the various
s styles of nests used for sitting
} hens this one has given good sat
5 isfaction: A box Is inches
square, Is inches high with
board six inches high in front
to prevent nesting material from
) falling out. The nests may be
) arranged in tiers with a hinge
front which makes platform
) for each tier when open. When
using a bank of nests as the one
just described, it would be well
to place three or four inches Of
damp earth in each nest. The
nesting material is next put in
and may consist of hay, chaff, or
straw. Pack this material down
firmly and shape circular nest
out of it, which should be slight
ly deeper at the center than at
) the edges, as nest SO shaped
will prevent the eggs from roll
) ing out from under the hen and
becoming chilled.
