BETTER FARMING HINTS

The number of eggs to place under the hen will depend upon the size f the hen and the seasn of the year. Usually fifteen eggs are considered a setting, and this is the proper num- Der to give an average sized hen. However, if hens are set early, it is better to place only thirteen eggs under the hen.
 Before the hen is set, she should be dusted with a good lice powder or sodium flouride. Then she is ready for the eggs. It is well to repeat this dusting on the tenth and nineteenth days. The hen should be released firm the nest and fed each day. Feed them close to their nests, so they will not have to hunt for the feed. Have plenty of fresh water and a good dusting box close at hand. Allow the hen to remain off until the eggs have cooled off considerably. Never let the eggs become chilled, as this will prolong the hatch. Do not re- move the hen after the nineteenth day. She will, if undisturbed, remain until the hatch comes off.

OKLONA BEAT PRESCOTT

In a fast and hard-fought game at Prescott Saturday the ,Oklona High School Basket Ball team defeated the Prescott High School team 29 to IA
 This was the best game Oklona has played this year. Prescott was not equal to the team work and the fast passing of the Oklona boys. Prescott was thoroughly satisfied that Oklona had them outclassed.
 If we were asked who of the Oklona team were stars, we would answer: the whole team. The Prescott For wards did not throw single field goal, due to the close guarding of Tarpley and Riley; and Bell, Stewart and Andrews at Forwards for Oklona demonstrated their ability to goal the balls. Morris at Center did not al low his man to touch the ball when tossed up between them, and he found the goal with three field goals. Pres colt played very hard but they lack ed team work. Too much individua work was done and by far too much "Dribbling."
 This is the second game Oklona has won from Prescott High School-one played at Oklona Feb. IA, which was won by a score of 30 to IA, and this
