COMFORT FOR SITTING HENS
Give "BRoodies" 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
to sit. Soft, downy feathers are left
in the nest; the hen stays on the
nest longer when laying. On being ap-
preached she will remain on the nest,
making a chucking noise and ruffiing
her feathers. When one is reasonably
sure that the hen is br0ody, and her
breast feels warm to the hand, she
Is ready to be transferred to the nest
previously prepared where she LIS to
sit.
AT this time it is advisable to dust
the hen thoroughly with insect powder.
In doing so hold 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
that no lice are present when the
chicks are hatched. Powder should
also be sprinkled in the nest. SOdi-
um fluorid may be used for the pur-
pose, say poultry specialists Of the
United States Department Of Agrt-
culture.
When possible the nest should be
in some out-of-the-way place, where
the hen will not be disturbed. Night
Is the best time for moving the hen
from the regular laying nest to the
one she is to sit on She should be
handled carefully. A china egg or
two should be placel in the nest,
and board or covering may be
placed over the nest SO that the hen
will not get off. Toward the end of
the second day go quietly to the nest,
, leave some feed and water, and re.
move the covering from the top or
front of the nest, so that she can
come off when ready. The best feed
for the sitting hen is whole corn OF
wheat, or both. Should she return
to the nest after, feeding, replace the
china egg with those to be incubated
The nest should be slightly dark
ened, as the hen is then not so, likely
to become restless.
In cool weather it Is best not tt
The Medina sentinel. [volume] (Medina, Ohio) 1888-1961, 1921-06-23

put more than 10 eggs under hen.
Later in the spring, however, from Il
to Is eggs can be set, according to the
size of the hen. F..
When several hens are sitting in
the same room they should be sep
arated 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 a rule hens will re-
turn to their nests before there Is
any danger Of the eggs chilling, but
If they do not 60 back in half an hour
they should be put back.
Examine and clean the nest care
fully, removing any 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 brok-
en- 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 sittings Of
eggs. When nest is infested with
mites, the hen, If fastened In, will
often be found standing over rather
than sitting on the eggs.
Eggs laid late in winter or early
in spring are frequently infertile, and
for that reason 1t is advisable to set
several hens atthe same time. After
from FIVE to seven days incubation.
the time depending somewhat on the
color and thickness Of the shells, the
eggs should be tested, the infertile
and dead-germ eggs removed and the
fertile ones returned to the hens. Thus
in many Instances all the eggs re-
naming under several hens may be
placed under one or two, and the hens
from WHICH the eggs were taken may
be reset. For instance, 80 eggs are set
under 8 hens at the same time, that
is, 10 under each hen. At the end Of
4 days, at which time the eggs should
be tested, 1t may be found that 10 are
infertile or have dead germs, leaving
only 20 fertile eggs. These 20 eggs can
then be put under the two hens, ana d
new sitting placed under the third
hen.

MILK PRODUCED FOR MARKET
Monthly Reports Show Wide Variation
Through Year-Cost In Winter ls
Quite High.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
In winter the cost of feed, bedding
and pasture amounts to SO per cent of
the yearly cost Of producing milk in a
typical Vermont dairy section, while
In summer it amounts to 15.9 per cent.
specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture found as
result Of study covering two years
in a section of that state where milk
was produced for market. The report
of this study is now published in De-
partment Bulletin 923, unit Require
ments for Producing Milk in Vermont"
While the figures obtained show the
requirements of producing milk in that
particular section, and may be approx
innate Of the requirements in similar
sections, the specialists point out that
they do not apply to- dairy sections
where other conditions and methods Of
management prevail.
It was found that 81 pounds Of
concentrates were required to produce
100 pounds of milk in winter, while to
produce the same amount in summer
only 81 pounds were necessary. Other
! requirements for producing this
amount of milk in winter were: Haul
ing and grinding concentrates, 2 cents
dry roughage, 1893 pounds; silage
and other succulent roughage, 1913
pounds; bedding, 11.2 pounds; man
labor, 2.7 hours; horse labor, O.6
hour; other costs, sos cents.
In summer the unit requirements
for producing 100 pounds of milk other
than concentrates were: Hauling and
grinding concentrates, 0.5 Of a cent
dry roughage, 1877 pounds; silage and
other succulent roughage, 2hS pounds

IALFALFAAS HORSE RUUGHAGE
Plant Is High In Protein and Minerals
and ls Especially Good for
Young Stock.

Alfalfa receives great favor as
horse roughage. It is high in miner
als and protein and is especially good
for young stock. Because 1t is laxa-
tive in effect and high In protein, it is
always best to limit the amount Of al
falfa to 0ne-half or tw0-thirds Of the
total hay ration. The rest may be
timothy hay. Use alfalfa with a ra-
ton that Is low in protein. Corn as
a grain and alfalfa as a roughage
make q balanced ration.

GROOM COWS AFTER MILKING
Dust and Germs Prevented From Con-
tamInating Milk Supply-Do All
Work Between Times.

The cows should not be groomed,
bedded, or fed Immediately before
milking. This fills the air with dust
and germs which get into the pail and
contaminate the milk. The grooming
is as good for the cows as good bed
ding, but do 1t during the day when
ample time will be left before the
next milking to allow the dust to
settle.

OF cholera and strict organized effort
to eradicate it, there has been re-
-markable decrease in the disease in
the county during the last two years.
In 1917 the loss from cholera in the
county, according to the county agent,
was about $4,000. In 1918 it was
ia little less than $1,000, and in 1919
it was about the same. In 1920, how
ever, only three cases occurred in the
county, which leads the swine breed
ers to believe that If their efforts to
control the disease are continued chol-
era can be practically eradicated.
