MINERAL IN PHILIPPINES.

Iron and steel form one-fifth Of
the imports into the Philippine
islands, despite the fact that some
500, 100000 metric tons of iron ore
lie beneath the surface there. A few
crude plowshares are the only prod
uct of the native ore. Nearly all of
this ore could be profitably mined,
though the initial expense of in
stalling plants and establishing
transportation would be large. The
difficulties are greater in Mindanao,
where the largest fields are located.
Smaller fields in Luzon are being
worked.
Coal fields on the islands are esti-
mated to contain 100000 metric
tons. One copper deposit of 100000
tons, assaying 2.5 per cent, is being
worked. Platinum, tin, mercury
and antimony are said to exist but
thus far are of no commercial i'm
portance.

GIVE BREEDERS FREE RANGE
Most Desirable for Production Of Fer
tile Ejgs Intended to Be Used
in Incubator.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
Hazards which sometimes accom-
pany the incubation Of eggs are large
~ avoidable. Fertile eggs from vlSor-
Gus breeding stock are necessary IN
order to obtain good hatches.
Free range for the breeders is most
desirable for the production Of fertile
eggs with vigorous germs, but all eggs
produced from such hens should not
be used for incubation. Eggs that are
abnormaIIy small and poorly shaped or
those having thin or very poor shells
should be eliminated. Dirty eggs or
those badly soiled should not he used.
If it is found necessary to set silghtiy
soiled eggs they may be cleaned by
rubbing lightly with damp cloth, care
being taken not to rub Off any more
of the natural bloom than is neces
sary.
II is never advisable to use for
Matching eggs that are more than two
weeks old. In freezing weather eggs
should be collected two or three times
a day so as to prevent their being
chilled. Neither a hen nor an incuba-
tor will hatch strong chicks from eggs
containing weak germs or from those
which have not received proper care.
In preparing the nest for the sitting
hen, put from three to four inches
Of damp earth or piece Of grass sod
in the bottom Of the nest before the
nesting material is put In to provide
moisture. When the hen becomes
broody, and before she is transferred
to the nest for sitting, she should be
busted with insect powder or sodium
fiuoride. In doing this hold the hen
by the feet with the head down, work
ing the powder well into the feathers
This should be repeated about the
eighteenth day of incubation SO as to
be sure that there are no lice present
when the chicks are hatched.
The hen should be moved at night
from the regular laying nest into the
nest where she is to be set. The lat
ter nest should be in some out-of-the-
way place where the hen will not be
disturbed. In order to make sure that
the hen will continue to stay in the
new nest, she should be started with
one or two china nest eggs. If, at

the end Of the second day when the
hen should be permitted to leave her
nest for food and water, she returns
in short time, the nest eggs may be
replaced with the eggs that are to be
incubated
Throughout the period of incubation
the eggs and nests should be kept
clean. Sometimes it will be necessary
TO change the nesting material. Eggs
should be tested twice during the in
cubation period, preferably on the sew
enth and fourteenth days, and all in
fertile eggs and those with dead germs
should be removed When the eggs
begin to hatch, the hen should be con-
fined and not disturbed until the hatch
ing is complete. If she becomes rest
less remove the chicks as they are
hatched and keep them in warm
place until the hatch is complete, when
all should be returned to the mother
hen.

GREECE TO HONOR WEBSTER
Statue Of Famous American Will Be
Unveiled In Athens Some Time
Next Year.

In the preparations for the cele-
bration of the hundredth anmver-
sary of the independence Of Greece,
plans are included for the unwilling
of statue of Daniel Webster in
Athens, the capital of Greece. The
anniversary will be celebrated next
year.
1t was on January l, 1922, that
Greece declared its independence Of
Turkey. Greek independence was
recognized by the allied powers on
February 8, 1880, and was further
recognized by the Turkish govern
ment on April 25, Of the same year.
There is reason for the proposed
erection of statue in honor Of Web
ster, American statesman and ora
tor, in the ancient capital of the
Greeks. According to an officer Of
the Pan-Epirotic union, it was
speech delivered by Daniel Webster
in the house of representatives on
January 10, 1924, that brought the
recognition of Greece as a free ma
ton by the United States after the
Greeks had thrown off the Turkish
yoke of 400 years in 1922. There
fore, the strange sight may be seen
of the statue of the sturdy New Eng
lander in the midst of those classic
