heater These have various capacities
and sizes from $50 chick to 500 or 600
They are automatic in regulation and
reliable if kept clean. Cleanliness in
mechanical brooder apparatus is alb
solutely necessary.
For the owner who raises from IS to
$50 chicks yearly the adaptable or
portable hovers are recommended
These are both kerosene burning The
adaptable type has the lamp and heat
er enclosed in a galvanized case, which
is attached to the brooder on the out
ilde The heat is piped into the
brooder and hover. The portable type
has the heater and hover all in one
unit and can be used in any room or
coop, or even moved about, in the coop
as the operator may wish. The dust
raised by the chicks in their workings
often cause the lamp in portable hovers
to smoke and go out, leaving the chicks
without heat and causing the chicks
to crowd together
While it is possible to rear chicks in
fireless hovers; home made brooders,
or in the kitchen near the stove, yet
the losses which annually result from
such brooding methods deter expert

Use the Old Hen or Standard Brood
ing Equipment

AT this time Of the year formers and
poultrymen face the problems of sue
cessful chick rearing. Each year finds
new conditions confronting them which
must be met and overcome. This
year finds late Matching The hens
generally were late in starting to lay,
as a result incubating with hens on
the whole will be late. Those using
incubators and Matching considerable
number Of chicks have been handi-
capped by a, very cold late spring. so
that the necessity of having a reliable
brooding equipmen is paramount, says
H. A. d. Leggett, Extension Specialist
in Poultry at the University of Yer
mont and State Agricultural College.
To make the hen a satisfactory early
brooder, not more than 1920 chicks
should be given her, and she should
have dry roomy quarters. 1t is not
the best policy to allow the hen to run
at large. Much better results will be
had by combining the hen to a small
portable yard for the first three weeks;
three feet by two feet, so arranged
that the chickens can run in and out,

Denver Not Yet Horseless

The effort lately to make Denver a
horseless city met defeat The big
blizzard of April Is and II was largely
responsible Without horses Denver
would have been still buried in snow.
Although both horses and tractors were
used in clearing the snow, the tractors
would have been useless if the horses
had not first opened the way. In the
country it was impossible to move any
motors until horses had opened the
roads. Denver was without milk de-
livery for three days, and the situation
was returned to normal through the
use Of horses After the streets and
roads were opened the motors we're
able to resume operations and helped
materially in clearing the city of snow,
but the horses were absolutely neces-
sary on accouAt of the heavy drifts
which blocked both motors and trac-
tors until the horses were able to
break a way through them.

and so are not to be recommended for
the beginners. Improperly brooded
chicks are slow growing, have ruffled
and ragged feathers and make stunted
and small fowls 1t will be found much
more satisfactory to provide a good
brooder having artificial heat supplied,
than to use the fireless home made
hot water bottle brooder.

 SOPHIA HEARING
MMMMMMw@ ll0RE
Claimants Seeking Testimony In Fight to Prevent
 Limitation Liability.

Hearings were opened this morn ing before Special U. s. Commits sioner Bruce Moberg, in the matter of the petition ofthe Canadian Pa- cific Steamship Company, for the limitation of liability of damages growing out of the Princess Sophia loss on October 25, 1918. William Martin, of Seattle, is appearing for claimants seeking to defeat the pe- tition and for whom testimony is now being taken. Lawrence Bogle, of Seattle, represents the company.
 Commissioner Moberg is sitting under appointment by and authority of Judge Jeremiah Neterer, of the lu. s. District Court at Seattle. Five Martin this morning, being Walter Johnson, E. R. Stivers, Wm H.. Dean, Dan Murphy, of Juneau, Chris Madison, a homesteader at Shelter Island, and L. w. Kilburn, of Douglas.
 Walter Johnson testified that he was at Vanderbilt Reef buoy about 3 o'clock on the afternoon of Octo- Der 25. The wind and sea, he said. were not bad He estimated that the wind was not blowing more than 10 miles an hour and very little sea running. It would have been comparatively an easy task, he said, to have transferred the passengers from the Princess Sophia to other vessels, according to MT. Johnson Mir Johnson, l.. ". Kilburn, who was employed at the City Dock at and Dan Murphy. all testified to the ages of deck crew of the vessel. saying that they were young men, most of them being probably IS years of age and up to 25 years. Mr. Stivers testified that he was U. S. Customs Officer at Skagway at that time but had no actual knowl- edge of the number of passengers aboard than the purser's list. No count was made, he said. He knew nothing of the vessel seeking or being given authority to take more than her legal quota of passengers.
 It is expected that the hearings will be concluded within a short time, probably before the end of the week. The claimants have been given until January 5, 1921 to get their case ready for presentation. The hearing of the petition before Judge Neterer is set for January IS.
