Hudson for Five Years the
Master in Motor and Style
Hudson Created the Touring Limousine
the Sedan, and Other Distinctive Body
Designs, and the Exclusive Super-Six Motor

and with special cars erbodying the Super-Six
principle it won distinction in all championship
speedway events.
But it was not to prove speed that these tests
were made. Hudson merely established its
speed qualities in development Of its value as a
reliable, enduring car, such as YOU want
Every evening, Wilmington daily commercial. (Wilmington, Del.) 1878-1928, 1920-03-04

No other fine car is so we'll regarded by SO
many people as the Hudson Super-Six. The
proof IS everywhere about you. More than
$4,000 are now in service and for five years it
has been the worlds largest selling fine car.
Observe its performance in any assemblage
Of fine cars. Each body type is noted for hand
some appearance and rich completeness of every
detail. Hudson created new standards Of
beauty. All know how its leadership in design
is acknowledged.
But Hudsons chief appeal must alvazS be
in performance.
If any car disputes Hudson's supremacy in
speed, endurance, hill climbing or acceleration,
it is not by official proof

These Tests Helped Build
the Present Hudson

And remember. it was chiefly through-endur-
anoe, made possible by its exclusive motor, that
Hudson won these victories. Such testS inn
pose strain that could be equaIled in ordinary
driving, only by years of hard use. t.
These records are three, four and five years
old. Yet they have never been matched. And
the Hudson of today is better car because of
what they taught.
But not the slightest change has been made
in the Super-Sx motor principle. For no way
has been found to improve it.
And because it has found no rival in perform
ance Hudson sales leadership among all fine cars
has been unbroken.
Hudson production has always been under
the demand. This year shows a repetition of
the shortage. So to get a Hudson at all this
summer calls for early decision.

Need a Cool Place Too.

Chickens need cool place for
scratching and exercising, in addition
to heat Indoor brooders aud hovers
can be used successfully in most sec
tons of the country in unheated
brooder houses except during the
coolest weather Outdoor brooders
usually have a cool compartment for
exercising, where the chickens are fed
in cold stormy weather. If winter
chickens are being raised, it is ad-
visable to heat the brooder house to
a temperature of 60 to 20 degrees, re-
CARELESS OF the temperature of the
hover which often requires placing
6rooder pipes around the outside
walls of the brooder house.
The need of this heat depends en-
tirely upon the brooding system and
the weather conditions; but it is
absolutely necessary that the heat be
kept at the desired temperature under
the hover. Breeders and hovers
should have from one-half to , inches
OF sand, dry dirt, cut clover, or chaff
spread over the floor and in the brood
er-house pen. The hovers should be
cleaned frequently, as cleanliness is
essential in raising chickens success
fully.
When chickens are first put into the
brooder they should be confined un-
der or around the hover by placing a
board or wire frame few inches out
side This does not apply, however,
to the small outdoor colony brooders.
The fence or guard should be moved
gradually farther away from the hover
and discarded entirely when the chick
ems are three ar four days old or
when they have learned to return to
the source of heat.
Young chickens should be closely
watched to see that they do not
huddle together or get chilled. They
should be, allowed to run on the
ground whenever the weather is fav-
orable, as they do much better there
than when kept continuously on ce-
ment or board floors. Weak chickens
should usually be killed as soon as
noticed, as they rarely make good
stock. while they may become car
riers of disease. Breeders should be
disinfected at least once year, and
more frequently if the chickens brood
ed in them have had any disease,

USE MANURE ON GARDENS TO
PRODUCE BETTER CROPS.

American gardeners could well al
ford to learn lesson from the French
gardeners regarding the use of man
ure on their land In some cases where
French gardeners are working on rent
ed land, clause in the lease pro-
yides that should the gardner be re-
quired TO vacate the land he is per-
mitted to remove the top soil to a
specified depth. 1t is customary to
apply anywhere from 1 to 8 inches of
manure a year on French gardens.
This is composted and mixed with
the soil and in the course of a few
weeks becomes a part OF the soil it.
self 1t is needless to state that some
enormous crops are grown on this
land.
While it would not be possible for
American gardeners to secure sufficient
quantaties OF manure to apply it at
the rate that is used by the French
gardeners, yet an effort should be made
TO secure as much of this material as
possible and put it directly upon the
land where intensive crops are to be
grown. The plan of having compost
heap in one corner of the garden
where everything in the nature of
manure can be piled and composted
together is good one. Into this pile
should go all weeds that do not bear
Objectionable seeds. pieces of sod,
clippings from the lawn. leaves and
manure. By turning the pile at inter
walls, rich, mellow material is pro-
duced which is suitable for top dress
ing the garden soil. Owing to the
limited quantity of manure available
at present it's use should be restricted
to those crops that make a quick
growth and require plenty of fertility
in the soil

WATCHING ARTI-
FICIAL BROODERS
Care Must Be Taken Against
Chilling or Overheating In
cubator Chicks.

Although brooding with hens is the
easiest and simplest method of brood
ing, artificial brooders are necessary
where winter or very early spring
chicks are raised, where only nonsit-
ting breeds of poultry are kept, or
where large numbers of chickens are
to be raised artihcially. To operate a
brooder or hover so as to insure
comfort and safety for the chicks re-
dures unremitting care on the part of
the poultry man.
Temperature in Brooder.
The best temperature at which to
keep brooder or hover depends upon
many things-the position of the Their
mometer, the style of the hover, the
age of the chickens, and the weather
conditions. Aim to keep the chickens
comfortable AS the operator learns
by the actions of the chickens the
amount of heat they require, he can
discard the thermometer il he desires
When too cold the chickens will
crowd together and try to get nearer
the heat p
If it is found in the morning that
the droppings are we'll scattered I'M
der the hover it is an indication that
the chickens have had enough heat
II the chickens are comfortable at
night they will be spread out under
the hover cloth. Too much heat will
cause them to pant and gasp and sit
around with their mouths open.
1t is impossible to state for each
case at what temperature the brood
ers should be kept to raise young
chickens; however, it will run from
80 degrees to 100 degrees in some
cases, as some broods of chickens
seem to require more heat than others
The average is 90. to 95 degrees for
the first week or 10 days, when the
temperature is gradually reduced to
IS degrees for the following 10 days,
and then lowered to 10 or so degrees
for as long as the chickens need heat
This depends somewhat on the season
of the year and the number of the
chickens, as it can be readily seen
that the heat generated by so chickens
would raised the temperature under
the hover to a higher degree than
the heat given off by the lesser num-
ber consequently the amount of heat
furnished by the lamp or stove will
have to be regulated accordingly
AS the chickens grow larger and
need less heat. the lamps may be
used only at night, and later only
on cold nights, say poultry special
lists i'll the United States Department
of Agriculture Care should be taken
to prevent chilling or overheating the
chickens, as it weakens them and may
result in bowel trouble.

intends to keep hands off the pre-

place the seal of his endorsement on
