The question which is best, hen or
incubator, has been discussed pro
and con almost as much as that
prime favorite of old time high
school debating societies.: (Which
came first, the chicken or the egg?"
The real solution of the problem de-
pends largely on circumstances. For
a number of reasons, the CONNER
cial poultry raiser is forced to use
the incubator. For the owner of the
average back yard or farm flock,
however, it often happens that hens
will serve the rpurpose just as well
and for a much smaller outlay. I'm
like the commercial breeder, he can
usually afford to wait until hens are
broody and the problem of securing
enough broody hens for his entire
hatch is not often encountered.
AS far as results are concerned,
one method is as good as the other
if proper methods are employed.
First of all, considerable care
should be exercised in the selection
of hens used for Matching eggs. The
following points are very important.
The hen should have well devel-
oped broody inclination; should be
even tempered, free from nervous
ness and not too offensive when ap-
preached while setting. A yearling
or two-year-old is more dependable
than a pullet; never use pullets if
YOU can avoid it. Use only hens
that are large enough to thoroughly
cover the desired number of eggs
with a little to spare. Use only
healthy, vigorous hens, in good flesh
and having bright eyes and red
combs.
Eggs should not be put under any
hen until she has shown well devel-
oped signs of broodiness. 1t is a
good plan to put several china eggs
under her ladyship at first and con-
fine her to the nest for day or two.
If at the end Of the second day she
still shows unmistakable signs of
broodiness, remove the china eggs
and give her the eggs to be Matched.
Let her feel the eggs under her
before releasing her. Then conf1ne
her to the nest for day or two
so that there will be no danger of
her deserting her trust.
A sitting hen should be given a
place to herself where she cannot
be disturbed by other hens trying
to crowd into the nest with them.
When it is necessary to set hens in
doors, each one should have an in
dividual run fenced off with chicken
must be confined to their nests and
only released at regular intervals so
they can eat and exercise. Unless
this plan is followed, you will often
find two or more hens crowded onto

Wheat Yield Is Large
This part of Kent county mas al
ways been noted for productlon OF
wheat which grades high, and the
farmers who have continued to plant

not want to SELL" said Jessie Tanton.
"You see, we own 1t jointly"
Mr.. Davis agreed to wire Belle i'm
mediately, which he did. and the reply
came back signifying her Willingness to
sell the house.
And then, a week later. Belle herself
appeared in Allendale. She registered
at the hotel and then went to her
sisters apartment. Jessie was round
eyed when she opened the door on her
sister, looking younger and handsomer
than when she had left seven years ago.
Thought I'd come up and help you
get rid of the things" the newcomer an
nounced briefly. IT'S no more than
right that should do my share. When
do we start?"
They started the next day. They COM
promised on all the things that had
been a part of their lives. Belle wanted
the cherry drop-leaf table and the nag
bottomed chairs, and II Jessie didn
mind she would like to have a desk
made out of the melodeon for her city
cided to keep the haircloth sofa and the
marble topped center table and the
framed pictures of Grandpa and Grand
ma Smythe, and the silver service and
the what-not. The rest Of the furniture
was to be sold and the money divided
between them.
At the end Of the second day the first
floor was bare, and they started in on
the second floor.
They divided the household linens
and the oval rag rugs. All Of the bed
room furniture was too heavy for small
apartments, so it was to be sold. James,
the town handy man, made countless
trips down the stairs with debris and
small articles of furniture which each
sister had decided to keep. Few words
were spoken as they worked busily. and
the fourth day found them ready for
the attic.
The sun was sinking at the end of
that day, two long golden shafts stream
ing through the little dormer window
and spreading across the dusty moor,
when Jessie pulled a long newspaper
wrapped suit box from beneath the low
caves.
Well" she said abruptly.
WELL" said Belle, loking down at 1t.
"Humph"
"Humph"

age.
She looked up at her sister, who stood
beside her grimly watching the opera
tons. Jessie's fingers shook a little as
she tried to unite the cord that bound
the last newspaper covering.
why don't you break it?"
The cord snapped and Jessie pulled
back the papers. A cloud Of dust and
fur rose into the air.
"Ohi The seal coat" she gasped.
Then she sneezed.
"Oh!" gasped Belle. "Moths!"
Jessie reverently deposited the rem
nant of the family treasure on the top
Of the trunk and they stood looking
down at it. There was nothing left but
a dull. drab pelt covered with q fine
covering of loose fur, almost dust. The
paper was half filled with what had
once been-the seal coat.

Eyes, Jessie, it's gone" and Belle
turned to her sister. She whipped a
handkerchief from her apron pocket
and wiped the tears from Jessie's eyes
Then their arms were about each other
and they started to laugh.
