CARE OF THE SETTING HEN.

When EeveralA hens are setting in the same room they should be sepa- rated by partitions and should be kept on the nests and allowed to come off only once each day to receive feed and water. A hen that does not voluntarily come off the nest should be taken off. As rule hens will re- turn to their nests before there is any danger of the eggs chilling, but if they do not go back in half an hour they should be put back.
 Examine and clean the nests care fully, removing and broken eggs and washing those that are soiled. Nest ing material soiled by broken eggs should be replaced with clean straw hay or chaff. Nests containing broken eggs soon become infested with mites and lice, which will cause the hens to become uneasy and leave the nest This is likely to be the cause of the loss of valuable settings of eggs When a nest is infested with mite! the hen, if fastened in. will often bt found standing over rather than sit ting on the eggs.
 Eggs laid late in winter or early iI spring are frequently infertile, and fol that reason it is advisable to set sev' | eral hens at the same time. Afte from five to seven days incubation | LHc lIAle OepcliuluS oOAAC"4dL OAA LII | color and thickness of the shells, tn ! eggs should be tested. the infertil
 and dead-germ eggs removed and tn 1 fertile ones returned to the hens. Thu | in many instances all the eggs re maining under several hens may b placed under one or two and the hen
 from which the eggs were taken ma be reset. For instance 30 eggs are SC
 under 3 hens at the same time; tha
 is, 10 under each hen. At the end Q
 seven days, at which time the egg should be tested, it may be foun 1 that 10 are infertile or have dea
 germs, leaving only 20 fertile egg: These 20 eggs can then be put unde
 two hens, and a new setting place under the third hen.

INSECT PESTS.

There are, generally speaking. two
 types of insect pests One bites its food and chews it like animals. These are off,
 ten classified with reference to poisoning
 as "btting insects" They may be poison ed. Arsenate of lead. paris green and
 other poisons will kill most of these pests.
 Such are leaf-eating beetles, Colorado po- tato beetles, etc. The other type is cali ed sucking insects,' because they have no well-developed mouth parts. but suck the juices of the plants by means of a
 proboscis It is useless to poison these
 pests. They must be killed by what is called contact poisons, or substances that | stop their breathing or kill them by con
 tact Among these pests are plant lice bugs, scale insects, slugs, etc.

FERTnIzEB FOR GARDENS.

The value of commercial fertilizer has not been fully realized by farmers in making home gardens. It is true that Aarket gardeners use commercial fertiii- ger and esuld not stay in business with
 out it. They use barnyard manure, but reinforce It and supplement 1t with eom- nnerical fertilizer. For tho home vegeta- bic garden, even where harn$ard manure is abundant. commercial plant food may be used profitably.

GIVE CHICKS SKIM MILK.

Skim milk is considered by special ists very desirable for chicks during the first week. In order to insure that all chicks get the milk it is advisable to dip the chicks beak in milk before it gets any other food. (This can best be done when removing chicks from the incubator.) Give milk to drink as long as it is available.

Why won't that blanked lettuce head?
 This is a common question among gardeners of little experience and probably there are more failures in growing really good, solid headed let tuce than in any other vegetable.

CURIOUS FREAK OF OPTICS
Remarkable Effects Possible With
Cardboard SpectacIes That Are
Cut With Various Openings.

Some very curious optical effects
can be obtained with cardboard spec.
tacles cut with various openings,
writes S. Leonard Baron in the Scien-
tific American.
The spectacles are easily made.
Disks of cardboard are cut which
measure about two inches in diam
eter. From copper wire a nose piece
Is bent and each end twisted into hole
made at the side Of each disk. In the
same way the bows for the ears are
formed out Of wire. One end of each
Of these is attached to the outer edge
Of disk and the other end Is bent
round so that the curved part for go
Ing over the ear is formed.
The disks Of the spectacles are then
finished as follows: In one pair a
hole is driven with a pin through the
center Of each disk. In another pair
horizontal Sits are cut almost from
one side to the other Of the disks.
These should be narrow and they may
be cut with sharp chisel or penknife.
In the third pair the slit Is the same
save that it is cut vertically.
BY looking through the different
openings some remarkable results are
obtained. Thus the pair with the pin
holes restricts the field Of vision, but
makes distant objects stand up with
great clearness. 1t Is possible to read
print at three or four times the nor.
NAL distance with the greatest ease.
When wearing the spectacles with the
horizontal Sits 1t is only possible to
see more or less horizontal lines in
houses, fences, trees, etc., really
plainly. Thus, while the trunk of .
tree is difficult to detect, the horizon
tai branches are much sharper than is
normally the case. Exactly the op.
posite is the case with the spectacles
having the vertical openings. Here 1t
is only the more or less upright lines
that are really plain. The horizontal
lines are very indistinct and IL fine
disappear altogether. Thus while one
can observe the posts supporting the
clothes line 1t Is not possible to see
the line itself when wearing the spec
tacles with vertical Sits.

WHY NOT LET HIM GO MAD7
Philadelphia Newspaper Asks Per-
tinent Question Concerning Ger
tain Long Distance Musician.

At certain seasons men will talk,
and even write, of anything. So that
serious comment on a long-distance
piano-playlng contest is quite in the
cards.
Leonard Liebling spreads some wis
dom abroad anent such a contest in
his regular editorial column in Mu-
steal Courier That Is to say, the
contest will not be in Musical Cour-
Ter, but in Croydon, England
One hundred hours of continuous
playing, no item to be repeated, is the
idealistic goal set in view; and a
worlds championship the stake. Also
there will be prize naturally. Why
this competition did not find G place
In the Current Belgian Olympiad
doesn't come in for explanation. Per-
haps long-distance piano-paying is
looked upon as an indoor sport,
though it might be much more fetching

One of the contestants has been
writing letters to his American friends.

who has already hung up mark Of
81 hours of continuous piano play
ing. However, Mr.. Kemp is still rath-
er something short of the existing rec
ord, which runs up to 50 hours.
The fascinating sections of the let
tiers deal with Harry Kemp's system OF
training. He practices normally every
day, from ten to fifteen hours; OF
course, on exceptional days he may
practice more. eve should love to
live in the apartment above him y
During the practice his arms have
to be tightly bound in bandages to
keep the blood away from his fingers.
The fingers, it seems, are the impor-
tant factors in long-distance piano
playing. AS he practices, Xempis

Of the poor belabored instrument with
alcohol; not for the Instruments sake,
bat for the sake of those important
fingers. Alcohol helps to harden
them, the theory is, and so protect
them from the tragedy Of splitting.
Manifestly, too, If player may not
repeat any composition in the trial, his
head must remain clear, his memory
alert. SO Mrs. Kemp keeps bathing
her husbands wearied brow, and put
ting up series of little objects to dis
tract his attention. This latter pre-
caution, it is hoped, will keep the man
from going mad.
But, on the whole, the care seems
excessive Why not let him go mad?

Before very long, instead Of bouquets

come the custom to present bouquets

popular, for, while the necessary bril-
lance of coloring can be embodied in
these glass flowers, they do not fade
as do real flowers, and, therefore, 90
not need renewing unless q, breakage
occurs. An extension to the use OF

is glass extending its use from the
