of your troubles. That is part of its

COMFORT FOR SITTING HENS
Give "6roodies" Nests Where They
viii Not Be Disturbed During
Period OF incubation.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment OF Agriculture)
There are several ways to tell when
a hen is becoming broody and wants
10 SIT. Soft downy feathers are left
In the nest; the hen stays ON the
nest longer when laying. On being ap
| preached she viii remain on the nest
making chuckiIg noise and rufiiing
her feathers. When one Is reasonably
sure that the hen is broody, and her
breast feels warm to the hand, she
Is ready to be transferred to the nest
previously prepared where she is to
sit.
AT this time 1t is advisable to dust
the hen thoi oughly with insect powder.
In doing so mold the hen by the feet
with the head down, working the pow
der well into the feathers. especially
those around the vent and under the
wings. The sitting hen should be
busted again on or about the eight
eenth day Of incubation to be sure
mat no lice are present when the
chicks are Matched. Powder should
also be sprinkled in the nest. Sodi-
um fiuorid may be used for the pur-
pose, say poultry specialists of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture.
When possible the nest should be
n some out-of-the-way place, where
the hen will not be disturbed. Night
S the best time for moving the hen
rom the regular laying nest to the
me she is to sit on. She should be
landed carefully. A china egg or
wo should be PLACED in the nest
nd board or covering may be
laced over the nest so that the hen
Ill not get off. Toward the end of
ne second day go quietly to the nest,
ave some feed and water, and re-
love the covering from the top or
'ont or the nest, so that she can
Dme OF when ready. The best feed 7
n the sitting hen is whole corn or
heat or both. Should she return :
the nest after feeding, replace the s
ma egg with those to be incubated. :
he nest should be slightly dark =
led, as the hen is then not so likely y
become restless. 7

make the best possible time The sec
end, third, and fourth sprays were
put on after prepared schedules.
The results the first year showed
the benefits Of cooperation. CUES
tionnaires were sent out to all the
men whose orchards were sprayed.
From these 1t has been computed that
the average cost Of spraying, allowing
III per cent depreciation on the ma
chine, was s1S.63 per orchard. the or
chards averaging 35 trees. AS tho
total value of fruit was more tnan
$40 per orchard. It Is easily seen tna'
the experiment was worth while.
In addition, other spray rings wers
formed after the manner Of the hrst
and the result In Improving the gen
eral appearance Of the orchards ga~
the region a reputation for fine tree
and fruit which was of great vaiu.
In increasing market possibilities An'
also the value of the farms.
