MANY DO NOT KNOW
 HOW TO SET THE HEN

At first thought setting hen seems to be very simple subject, but when hear of so many fail- ures and poor hatches, find upon inquiring that very few people know how to set the hen, if they do, they very seldom follow the best meth ods," says H. B. Lansden, poultry specialist of the Agricultural Ex- tension Division, University of Ar kansas.
 "The first esserIal in starting in the business is to purchase eggs of some good, reliable breeder, who mates nothing but strong, vigorous birds. Place your orders for the eggs, but do not have them shipped until you are certain you will have a broody hen when they arrive. When the eggs arrive do not place them under the hen at once, but place them in s cool, dry place and do not disturb them for twenty four hours.
 "A day or two before you ex pect the eggs to arrive, arrange a place to set the hen. Whenever a hen is allowed to steal her nest away, she usually selects a cool, damp place, away from the flock, so she will not be disturbed. These conditions should be duplicated as nearly as possible when a place is being selected for the hen. If it is not possible to set the hen on the ground. a box should be provided and sod placed in the bottom of | the box This sod should be damp | I nf ctr l placed over it. The center of the nest should be slightly lower than the outer edges, but not be deep enough to cause the eggs to pile
 up in the center. On the other hand, if the nest is practically level,
 the eggs will roll from under the
 hen and will not keep warm enough to start incubation.
 \ ''The box used to set the hen should not be deep enough to cause the hen to jump down on the eggs
 but should be shallow enough to
 allow her to step into the nest to prevent her from breaking the eggs.
 A cover or door can be made for
 the box so that the hen can be lock
 ed up Never have more nests than : you have setting hens. When the hens are released to get food, they
 do not always return. to the same
 nest, and if there are extra nests
 the hen that has been cheated out of her regular nest will take the ont
 next to it, even if there are no egg,
 in it. The nests should be placed p in building or room that is no F being used for other poultry S, : that the setting hen will not be dis sl turbed
 Q "The number of eggs to place un !. der hen will depend upon the sig n of. the hen and the season of th ,f year Usually 15 eggs are consider

ed enough However, if hens are set early, it is better to place only 13 eggs under the hen.
 Before the hen is set, she should be dusted with good lice powder or sodium fluoride. Then she is ready for the eggs. It is well to repeat this dusting on the 10th and 18th days. The hen should be released from the nest and fed each day. Feed them close to their nests. So they will not have to hunt for the food. Have plenty of fresh water and a good dusting box at hand. Allow the hen to remain off until the eggs have cooled off consider ably. Never let the eggs become chilled, as this will prolong the hatch. Do not remove the hen after the 18th day. She will, if un- disturbed, remain until the hatch comes off"

FUTURE OF LIVE STOCK
 INDUSTRY LOOKS BETTER

The present economic conditions should be encouraging to llve stoek nyoducers who are looking into the future. states T. K. Reid, agent m live stock marketing of the Agri- cultural Extension Division, Uni versity of Arkansas.
 "Conditions in 1920 were very unfavorable to live stick production in this state," says MT. Reid. The year began with shortage of feeds in practically all section of the state and high prices prevailing for all feeds which were purchased. Low prices for live stock and the freight embargoes at times when number of shipments were being made were other discouraging factors. The high uYice of cotton made farmers durnk with enthusiasm for growing thls crop and caused a reckless disregard for cattle and hogs which were low in price and which consumed high priced feeds.
 "A decrease in production of farm animals has resulted. Live stock market prices have been more sta ble. Good feed crops have been produced in the state. An equitable and profitable ratio is now shown between market prices of live stock and the feeds consumed in it's pro duction 4 decrease in stocker and feeder shipments of 21.4 per cent of hogs gives definite data on the shortage of animals in the feed lots. The lack of market for the cotton which was abandantly produced forcibly impresses on all producers the lack of wisdom in the methods of farming followed in 1920. A change in the system must come and live stock will have a prominent part in the system.
 Breeders who have held on have suffered many discouragements. Many have not held on. The pros poets for the man with live stock in 1921 are encouraging and no doubt the wisdom of giving cattle and hogs g place on all successful Arkansas farms will again be evi- dent"
