As the time approaches for the hen

rufiling her feathers and pecking at
the Intruder. When II Is noted that a
hen sits on the nest from two to three
nights In succession and that most of
the feathers are gone from her
breast, which should feel hot to the
hand. she Is ready to be transferred
to n nest which has been prepared for
her beforehand, according to poul-
try specialists of the United States

NAL temperature of n hen Is from 106
to 107 degrees f.. which varies slightly
during incubation.
Dust the hen thoroughly with insect
powder. and In applying the powder
hold the hen by the feet. the head

the feathers. giving special attention
to regions around the vent and under
the wings The powder should also
be sprlnkled in the nest.
The nest should be in some quiet,

Well. that is about nil there Is to

things ARE related to II. The depart

the milk should be weighed daily.
There are several reasons for this.
One In that the ration should be ad-
iusted to the weight OF milk. safe
rule, the department experts say. Is
one pound OF grain to every three and
onehnlf or four polAds OF milk. An
other, and perhaps more accurate.
rule Is TO feed ns many pounds or
grain day as the COW gives pounds
of butterfat In week; but this latter
rule IL not so conveniently applied In
the case of the family COW. because OF
the necessity of making a Babcock
test for butterfat.
The weight OF milk produced. In
proportion 10 the grain ration. Is or
particular importance during the first
30 days after the COW freshens. She
is Mt that time most easily able TO
establish her working basis. She has
just had her vacation. Her milk
sccretlng glands are sensitive. her d.
gestIve apparatus active. A few days
after she becomes fresh. increase her
grain one-hnlf or three-qunrters OF
pound day. and see how much milk
she gives the following day. Keep up
the increase from day to day as long
MS she responds with enough Increase
In milk to pay for the increased grain.
When the point Is reached where the
milk flow falls TO increase with In
creased feeding. reduce the grain rn-
tion pound or two. and keep along
this line until the point is found at
which the COW produces the greatest
and most economical flow OF milk.
Then fix this as her regular grain ra'
tlon MS long as she produces that
amount of milk.

The next. perhaps, is n clean and

milking to remove loose hairs, dirt and
