TO RAISE INCUBATOR CHICKS
How to Induce Old Hen to Take Place
Of Artificial Brooder-Transfer
at Night.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Hens are often used to raise incu-
bator-hatched chicks and to take the
place of the artificial brooder, a prac-
ice that is in operation on many poul-
try farms. A few eggs are put under
the hen four or five days before the
incubator Is to hatch. In the evening
following the hatch of the incubator,
after the chickens are thoroughly dry,
one or two are put under the hen, and
If she Is found to mother them proper
ly, the next evening as many more are
added as she can brood or care for
properly. Hens will successfully
brood 10 to Is chickens early in the
breeding season, and IS to 25 in warm
weather, depending upon the size Of
the hen. This method of handling
chickens does away with the artificial
brooder, and where one has only a
small number of chickens to raise it is
a very easy manner in which to handle
them, and also a good method when
1t is desired to raise separately special
lots of chicks. 1t should be borne in
mind, in adding chickens to a hen
which already has some to brood, that
1t Is best to add those Of the same
color and age as the ones already with
her, as the hen will often pick the la
ter arrivals if they are of color diff
ferent from the ones she is already
brooding. AS a rule this transferring
should take place at night, although
with quite docile hen it can be done
In the morning.

ANNUAL PRUNING OF TREES
Work Should Be as Cevere as Neces-
sary to Induce Development
of New Wood.

prepared by the United States Depart,
ment Of Agriculture.)
AS the fruit of the peach is borne
on wood which grew the previous year,
it is desirable to prune each season as
soon as it is possible to determine to
what extent, if any, the fruit buds
have been damaged by freezing.
The annual pruning of peach trees
should be. done, but the extent of the
pruning will be determined by the
growth made by the trees the previous
year and the extent to which the buds
have been injured by cold during the
winter.
The trees should be pruned as Sc
verely as is necessary to induce the de-
velopment of new wood for next years

That Did Ii.

A sturdy tramp went into Subur-
ban garden where the lady Of the
house was occupied in attending to her
bulbs.
He took no notice Of her refusal to
give Coppers, but continued to worry
her until small dog appeared, bark
ing loudly. The lady seized its collar
and held it, calling out:
"You had better go; it may bite"
"You amt got no right to keep a
savage dog" replied the tramp, out
ragged in all his most sacred feelings.
perhaps have not" she answered
coolly. eff you think so | won't keep
him. I'll let him 60"
The latch of the gate clicked vio-
lently, and in 20 seconds the tramp had
vanished into space.

80 can do my house work without any
difficulty. / advise any woman who is
afflicted with female troubles to give
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound trial and it will do as much for
them. Mrs. MARIE BOYD, 1421 9th
St, N. E., Canton, Ohio.
Sometimes there are serious condi-
tons where a hospital operation is the
only alternative, but on the other hand
so many women have been cured by this
famous root and herb remedy, Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, after
doctors have said that an operation was
necessary - every woman who wants
to avoid an operation should give it
fair trial before submitting to such
trying ordeal
The letters constantly being pub
lished from women in every section of
this country prove beyond question the
merit Of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound.

MUCH SKIM MILK Is SAVED
Large Quantities Formerly Thrown
Into Sewer Now Made Into
Cottage Cheese.

One creamery in the state of New
York is condensing every day 25,OO0
pounds Of skim milk, much of which
formerly was run into the sewer, and
several creameries now make their en-
tire supply of skim milk into cottage
cheese. These examples are cited in
the annual report of the bureau Of
animal industry, United States depart
ment of agriculture, as showing saw
lngs effected through the campaign for
conservation of all products that can
Increase the supply Of food.

POULTRY RAISING IS A DUTY
Farmers and People In Cities Should
Keep Enough Hens to Supply
Table With Eggs.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
If poultry is to play the part that 1t
should play in feeding the nation and
winning the war, not only will the de-
ficiency created during the past year
have to be made good, but there will
have to be added something to the
average as it stood before the 1917 de-
pletion began. The duty and the op-
portunity falls upon general farmers
and upon families In cities and towns
who have enough backyard space
and that means much less space than
may be ordinarily considered neces-
sary-to keep enough hens to supply
their own tables with eggs.

fruiting. If so per cent of the fruit
buds have been killed, the pruning
should be much less severe than would
be the case had no fruit buds been
destroyed, as pruning is one Of the
means of thinning the crop on the
trees. The pruning therefore is little
or much in proportion to the percen-
tage of fruit buds destroyed. Little
wood should be cut away if so per
cent or more of the fruit buds are de-
stroyed and one-half of the previous
seasons growth cut away If no injury
has been suffered by the fruit buds.
All dead wood should be cut out Of
raspberry and blackberry bushes.
Grape vines should be pruned. No
fear need be felt if the vines bleed pro-
fusely, as no injury will be done.
