little boys are running the ranch.
There will probably be somebody
else on the sick list this week, as Joe
Riley went to Grand junction to ride

little boys, one at Bert Warmers and
the other ct Fred Beuten's home.

SOME RULES TO BE RENEN.
BEREO IN SETTING HENS

I'D love to raise come ehiekenxs
said 2 lady friend Of ours the other
day. but l never have rood luck IN
setting hens" "How do you set the
hens = we asked. She explained and
We had the bad manners to LAUGH,
We couldn't help it, honestly. As .
matter Of fact, however setting . hen
isn't all it's cracked up to be. There
Is considerable science in the matter,
altho there are . number Of people
Who are under the impression that
all that is necessary IN TO place some
eggs in IN open-faced box-any old
box-grab . hen and chuck her on ton
Of the eggs, whether abe likes Il or
not. Then when the chickens fail to
arrive on schedule, the blame il placed
on the eggs or the hen. The follow
in9 rules are very simple, but II car
ned out. the result will more than re-
pay you for your trouble.
First Of al, select e9Gs that you
are sure are good. They should be
purchased from some reliable dealer
in chickenA and eggs and whose word
can be relied upon. Next have . nest
rcady. This can be made by using .
medium sized box. Place in the bottom
. little earth. slightly dampened, and
over this bed Of clean straw. Have
the center Of the nest q little deeper
than the outer edges, but not 20 deep
that the eggs may pile up on each
other. This IL advised, for the reason
that where . neet is made level, the
eggs may accideutly roll too close to
the edge Of the nest and become cold.
Another thing; Il the nest il too
deep, the hen Is obliged to jump onto
the eggs when getting into the nest.
enough to allow the hen to step into
the nest. This can be accomplished
by having the door to the box fastened
at the side instead Of placed across
the top Of the box. A great many
chicken raisers claim that II is very
important that the same hen always
return 70 the same nest after feeding.
That allowing the hens to set on 4
different hatching Of eggs win cause
failure nine times out Of ten. Some
may not believe this, but II might a
well be remembered. Since the hens
are to set, keep them in their original
nests till the eggs are Matched.
The number Of eggs to be set under
hen depends on the season Of the
year and the size Of the hen. A small
hen cannot successfully cover q large
number Of eggs and ten or twelve Il
considered enough, while for the aver.
| age sized hen, setting should mum.
Der ffteen-granting, Of course, that
the season is favorable. The colder
the weather, the harder it is to keeE
the eggs warm. Therefore, allow /
smaller number Of eggs under thu
leMn. - y :.
Take good care Of the hens whils
they are setting. Feed them ever,
day and provide cool, fresh drinking
water. Il is good idea to dust thu
hens with reliable lice powder just
before setting them, and II the nest,
can be placed in some quiet place iso
lated from the rest Of the poultry, ss
much the better.
Fresh eggs always taste good, ane
even better when the price Is arouns
dollar a dozen and hard to get. w,
can easily help TO beat old H. c. L. b,

In farming II is as important as IN
any other business to have plan OF
operation for the year and then
work to the plan, says the Columbia
Farm Bureau News A good plan lis
to divide the farm up into plots and
indicate the number of acres given
over for different crops. Then look
over the nai ket reports for the past
few years and get an idea of the most
profitable crops to grow. n ia hol'ev-
ed that the staple crop for the next
two or three years ia sure to bring

PUT HUBBY IN BAD LIGHT
Matter of Mistaken Identity Promised
to Make Things Warm FOR Entirely
Innocent Man.

A certain resident Of Indianapolis,
who Is one of twins, in company with
his wife and son, visited his twin
brother, who lives in the northern
part Of the city. The family was re-
turning home and had just reached
Washington and Illinois streets when
the wife saw the car, to which they
were to transfer, rounding the corner.
"Oh, here comes our car" she said'
and regardless Of the conductors IA
miliar warning, "Wait till the car
stops. lady" she jumped off backward,
alighting with considerable force on
the pavement. Refusing to give the
car crew her name and address the
family hurried home.
The next morning an auto stopped
in front of the brothers home and an
inspector, motorman, conductor and
policeman who had witnessed the mis-
hap of the night before knocked on
the door and asked the condition OF
the woman who had fallen. The
brothers wife volunteered the infor-
nation that no one there had fallen
from car. After an argument one
OF the car crew remarked, "Well, If
some woman living here didn't fall off
my car, then her husband was out
with someone who id."--Indiunapolis

FRANCES SURPLUS OF GIRLS
Overwhelming Preponderahee o.
Babies Born to Wives Of War Vet
Grams Are of Female Sex.

French physicians see In the nerV-
GUS reaction following the trials and
perils Of war the explanation of the
epidemic of girl babies which has
swept France in the last year.
They base their conclusion on the
remarkable fact that, while over ~
per cent of the children recently born
to men who served under fire are girls.
60 per cent Of the babies Of war prof
iteers, slackers and men physically
unfit for combatant service have been
boys. .... ,.. .. .-
Sociologists looking into the future
predict that If the present dispropor-
tional feminine birthrate continues
over half of the girls born in France
in 1919 and 1920 will be doomed to
spinsterhood. The proportion of young
and middle-aged married men In
France who saw no service on the
front is so small that the boy babies
born In their families are outnum-
bered more than two to one by the in
FAINT daughters Of the war veterans.
While at a loss to explain the work
ings of the mysterious influence pre-
determining the sex Of the children
born 10 ex-soldiers, French physicians
agree that. the relaxation of mems
nerves, suddenly relieved from the
high tension of constant perils and
hardships, is at the bottom of the puz-
zling question. :,,.s. -..-
SO long as the war continued and
men remained keyed to high nervous
pitch their children were more often
boys than girls. Sixty-five per cent OF
soldiers babies born during the war
were boys. Now that the hectic days
of shot and shell are over the pendu-
lum of gravity has swung to the other
extreme, and the pages of Frances
birth registers are filed largely with
names of newborn girl babies

HAVANA A BABEL OF SOUND
New Yorker Alleges That Metropolis
Is Silent in Comparison With
the Cuban City.

Havana may not hold the noise
championship Of the world, but at
least little old New York is silent by
comparison. Unmuffied motors beyond
computation, tram cars that seem far
more interested in producing clamor
than speed, believing venders Of
everything vendible, are but the back
ground of an unbroken uproar thssf
permeates every nook and Granny of
the city. Honest hotel keepers tell you
frankly that they can offer every com
fort except quiet, Even in church you
hear the tumult outside. broken at
rare intervals by the voice of the
preacher. 1t Is not simply the day
time uproar of business hours, 1t in
creases steadily from nightfall until
dawn. In olden days the sereno, with
his dark lantern, his pike, pistol,
bunch of keys, whistle and rope, wan
deFed through the streets calling out
the time and the state of weather
every half hour. His efforts would be
wasted nowadays. =
The long g-seasoned inhabitants seem
to have grove callous to the constant
turbulence. have yet to meet new
conner who confesses to an unbroEen
hour-of sleep. If you move out to one
of the pensions Of Vedado, the house
hold itself will keep you constantly re-
minded that you are still in HAVANA.
The Cubans seem to thrive on noise. If
they are so unfortunate as to be edenied
their beloved din, they lose no time IN
producing another from their own
throats. After a week in Havana we
took ferry across the harbor ana
strolled along the plain behind Cabana
fortress. For some time we were
aware of an indefnaDie sensation OF
strangeness, amounting almost to dis
comfort. We had covered a nile or
more before we suddenly GtscoVereu
that 1t was due to the unaccustoneo
silence Magazine.
