NEED FOR CARE IN

There is No Theory or Practice

Beware Of Extreme Heat or Cold
or Other Influences That

BY Robert. Armstrong
Expert Poultryman and Writer

There is no phase Of poultry raising
(which reflects the stamina and quail
ties Of a flock Of fowls so accurately
as incubation. If the birds are in
good health and vigorous, and the
feeding and housing conditions are
as they should be, their eggs will
hatch well. If the birds are out OF
condition, as the result Of careless
breeding, iniudicious feeding. de-
fcctive housing and the like. their
eggs will not produce satisfactory
hatches. Successful incubation,
whether artificial or natural, depends
largely on the selection and care OF
the eggs. as we shall see from the
following article.

Washington was talking today about

last night from his box at the theater.
It is the first time In the memory Of any
one here that a president has done
such a thing.
The president had enjoyed the play
greatly. One of tho leading actors was
called for a speech and when the
audience demanded more he suggested
that the president possibly might say
something. l
The president arose, thanked the
actors for an admirable performance
and said how much he had enjoyed the
theme of the play.

1t appears that a volcano is hottest

drawn by a scientist who has made in

tanned samples Of gases and lava be-

pear that much Of the heat required

The suggestion will be beneficial to

discoloration may be removed If a
layer of starch and water Is applied
with a piece Of flannel. After the
mixture has dried it should be brushed
slightly with a brush. No stain or mark

Natural Gas.

Natural gas is probably formed in
the earth by a process of natural dis
~tillation from the animal and vegetable
remains Of past geological epochs, and
is nearly the same product as is dis
titled from the coal in the retorts Of
gas factories only, instead of the heat
of fires, the internal heat Of the earth,
aided perhaps by chemical recomposi-
ton, has caused its formation on a
huge scale.
