Chicken hens and incubatOrs can be
and often are used successfully for
Matching turkey eggs, but the surest
means, United States Department of
Agriculture poultry specialists say, is
to use the turkey hen and give her
proper management. Turkey hens are
close sitters and will cover, 50 there
will be no danger Of chilling, from Is
to IS eggs, depending on the size of
the hen.
Nests for setting turkey and chick
en- hens are best made on the ground
by following out little earth, so that
the center is deep enough to keep the
eggs from rolling out of the nest. A
thin covering Of clean straw or hay
can then be used to prevent the eggs
from being directly on the ground,
and large, roomy coop should be
placed over the nest to keep the hen
from being disturbed. When num-
Der of hens are to be set, long row
Of nests can easily be made on the

partitions. II this is done care must
be taken to see that when the hens
come off the nests each returns to the
right one instead Of crowding into a
nest with another hen and leaving
some of the eggs to become chilled.
With only few hens it is better to
set them some distance apart, as they
will then require less attention.
When q Hens In Earnest.
When a hen becomes broody and
shows that she h earnest by remain
ing on her nest for two or three
nights, she may safely be trusted with
the eggs, provided she is allowed TO
sit in that nest. If she is to be set in
another nest, as is usually the case,
then she should be removed to the
new nest, preferably after dark, given
few nest eggs, and shut in to pre-
vent her from returning to the old
one. II she sits quietly on the nest
eggs she should be taken off on the
evening of the following day, and the
eggs to be incubated placed in the
nest. On being freed, she probably
will return to her old nest; II so, She

II am now seyenty-two years old

ment Over From Year to Year In
Absence Of Potatoes-other
Plants Suspected.

PREPARED by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
Recent Investigations made by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture on the control of the potato wart
disease, European trouble found in
this country in 1918, disclosed the fact
that this disease also attacks tomatoes.
Out of % varieties of tomatoes planted
in wart-infested gardens I'M eastern
Pennsylvania in 1920, % were found to
be susceptible to the disease.
Wart is very serious disease of po-
tatoes, causing practically total loss
in badly infested soil. It attacks the
tubers, causing warty outgrowths.

sumo the potatoes. Its present known
occurrence in the United States is COIL

lagos in Pennsylvania, West Virginia
and Maryland, from which its spread
is restricted by state quarantine laws.
The disease attacks only the stems and
roots of the tomato plant, causing
small warts it probably does not re-
duce the yield Of fruit.
The Importance of the discovery OF
the susceptibility of tomatoes to pota-
to wart lies in the fact that affected to-
mato plants will serve to carry the dis
ease over from year'to year in the alb
sence of potatoes, and to introduce it
into new localities through the trans.
planting of tomato seedlings grown in
infested soil. 1t is not yet known def
nitely whether all varieties of tomatoes
are susceptible to the wart disease, but
it is feared that such may be the case.
Other plants belonging to the potato
family are suspected of being suscepti-
BILE to wart, and some of these have
been tested, but with incOnclusive re-
suits. These tests will be repeated

GOOD INCUBATION HINTS

Follow the manufacturers di-
rections in setting up and oper-
ating an incubator.
See that the incubator runs
steadily at the desired tempera-
ture before filling it with eggs.
Do not add fresh eggs to tray
containing those which are un-
dergoing incubation.
Turn the eggs twice daily aft
err the second and until the nine
teenth day. Turn them before
caring for the lamps. Cool them
once daily, according to the
weather. during this period.
Attend to the machine care
fully at regular hours.
Keep the lamp and wick clean.
Test the eggs on the seventh
and fourteenth days.
Do not open the machine aft
er the eighteenth day until the
chickens are Matched.

AS rule cowpeas should not be
cut for hay before the pods begin to
turn yellow. The best quality is pro-
duced and the hay cures most readily
if the vines are cut when most of the
pods are full grown and a consider
able number of them are mature. At
that stage of growth none of tthe best
hay varieties will have dropped their
