Carbon diexide and moisture are
needed at the end of the hatch to
break down the shell. At attitudes of
5000 feet or over, keep moisture in
the machine throughout the hatch.
Piping should commence on the 18th
day and Matching on the Goth in Leg
horns. One day later in heavy breeds.
High Temperatures make an early
hatch and wry-necked chicks.
Put thermometer in the "nursey. :"
If it is below 100 degrees do not let
the chicks down until dozen or more
have hatched from each tray. This
prevents crippling.
Turn the eggs twice daily from 4S
hours after they are put in until the
18th day.
At Matching time darken the door and
when chicks are dry give plenty of
ventilation and temperature of 100
degrees to prepare them for the brooder.

bulb on level with the top of the egg,
but not touching it. Run at l02 1-2 to

Pueblo Man Dies from Hunger and
Exposure.

William V. Ton was found Friday
afternoon. March %. by Bob Bickerton
near the latter's home. Mr.. Bickerton
was attracted by the moans of the man.
who was in his car on an unfrequeted
road in the vicinity of Egnar.
Mr.. Bickerton removed the delirious
man to his home and tried in vain 10
relieve his suffering. When morning
came he went to the J. V. Eavenson
store for aid, where the doctor was
consulted and it was decided to move
Ton to the store, where plenty of help
and care could be obtained He was
cared for there by several of the
neighboring men until his death. which
occurred at midnight Saturday night.
During that time he became conscious
and told his name and other facts about
himself.
1t seems that his name was William
". Ton and that his home was in
Pueblo. He had left Cortez in his car
the morning of the 18th of March.
After leaving Dove Creek he lost his
way and got to where he was stuck
about dark. The stop was caused by
the breaking of a rear axle. He
worked on his car in the darkness and
snow and cold until he became chilled
1through. He got into his car to warm
and wait for the storm to abate and
Shelp from chance passerby. Contin-
4ued exposure and lack of food rendered
him unable to search for help, as the
SNOW was deep and he had an artificial
limb. He was there by himself about
ten days without fire or food.
The coroner of San Miguel county
took the body to Telluride last Tuesday
4without an inquest to await word from
his people. - Dove Creek Inland Empire.

Arbor Day Observance Third Friday
in April.

- Ill n pI IL.
'He that planteth tree is servant
of God,
He provideth a Kindness for many
generations,
And faces chat he hath not seen shall
bless him. Van Dyke.
3 The quotation is proverb, but not
Jof Solomon. Josephus related, how
ever. that during the reign of King
4 Solomon the Valley of Jehosophat was
4 planted with cedars of Lebanon, which
q never before grew in that valley and
8that the following generation found
these cedars more plentiful than the
8native sycamores.
q How the planting in Solornon's reign
was affected is not recorded; possibly
an Arbor Day was decreed by royal
Sproclsmation. 1t suffices to know that
Solomon, renowned for wisdom, per-
2{ceived the need of arboriculture and
took effective measures. From that
Rncient time and probably long before,
$man has planted ornamental and forest
D trees.
a There never was a habitable region
that needs tree planting more than
5portions of Colorado. Much has been
done along this line, but tremendously
7more needs to be done.
IS 1tis well that we have a day set
apart by the proclamation of our
governor in order to plant trees. 1t
Us said that j. Sterling Morton, later
sSecretary Of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, induced the
citizens of Nebraska in 1872 to observe
sArbor Day, the first public observance
lin the United States.
Il The idea rapidly spread until today
nearly every state observes the day
and many foreign countries have
adopted the plan. The day for the
Il observance differs in the various states
4 according to climatic conditions, but
In Colorado it is set by law as the third
Friday in April.

How to Insure Sales.

The chief asset for any business is
the demand for what it sells AS long
as that demand continues, that busi-
ness is on a safe foundation. But let
that demand subside, and every other
asset of the business is in danger OF
becoming liability.
In time of prosperity and rising
market there is general demand for
products that is accepted as matter
of course. 1t is not listed among the
assets of the business, but is regarded
as permanent fixture
But in comparatively short space
of time conditions may change, as they
have done before, and the generally
accepted demand become conspicuous
by it's absence. The business, once
sound and hourishing, is found to be
in a tight place. The demand has not
been insured and yet the entire busi-
ness owed its exiStance to a contin-
uance of the demand.
The modern, economical way to in
sure the market for any business is to
advertise what it has to sell to the
consuming public. Advertising creates
a steady increasing mum ber of custom
ers, who learn from experience that
their needs can be satisfied at fair
prices. The one requisite is that the
advertiser keep faith with his Gus
toners.
Changes in business conditions have
little effect on a steady consumer de-
mand. Merchants who place their
trust in demand not of their making
may rue the day they failed to adver-
tise, but those who have message for
their customers about their merchan-
disc are secure against the dark days
of business depression.
