This Is the way to set a hen. As the, time approaches for the hen to become broody or Bit, and care Is taken to look Into the nest, it will be seen that there are a few soft, downy feathers being left there by the hen: also the hen Btays longer on the nest when laying at this time and on being approached will quite likely remain on the nest making a clucking noise, ruffling her feathers and pecking at the intruder. When It Is noted that a hen sits on a nest for two or three nights in succession and that most of the feathers are gone from her breast, which should feel hot to the hand, she Is ready to be transferred to a nest which has been prepared for her beforehand. The normal temperature of the hen is from 106 to 107 degrees F., which varies slightly during incubation. Dust the hen thoroughly with Insect powr'or. holdlnjf her hv the foet with

Bushel baskets are commonly used to ship orders of from Id to 12 sittings

or eggs, the manner of packing and

covering being the same as mentioned

in the first method. COOP FOR HEN AND CHICKS Have the brood coops ready for the hens and chicks when they come off the nests. Coops may be made of waste lumber or of boxes. Quarters

the head down and working the powder well into the feathers. The powder should also be sprinkled in the nest. The nest should be In some quiet, out-of-the way place where the hen will not be disturbed. Move her from the regular laying nest at night und handle her carefully in doing so. Put a china egg in the nest where she Is to sit, and place a board over the opening so that she cannot get off. Toward evening of the second day go in quietly where she is sitting, leave some feed and water, remove the board from the front or top of the nest and let the hen come off when she is ready. Should she return to the nest after feeding, remove the china egg or eggs and put under those that are to be Incubated. If the nests are slightly darkened the hens are less likely to become restless. At hatching time they should be confined and not be disturbed until the hatching is completed unless they become restless, when it may be best to remove the chicks that are hatched first. In

cool weather it is best not to put more"

.than 10 eggs under the hen. Later in the spring one can put 12 to 15, according to the size of the hen. How to Ship Hatching Eggs Eggs for hatching are shipped extensively over long distances successfully, but in many cases the shipment appears to affect th hatch. Setting eggs are packed for shipment In several different ways. One of the best methods is to use a common market masket well lined on the bottom and sides with excelsion. After wrapping the eggs in a thin layer of paper and enough excelsion to make a ball about 3 inches in diameter, pack them tightly in the basket, then put on a covering of evcelsior, and over all sew a piece of strong cotton cloth, or the cloth can be pushed up under the outside rim of the basket with a case knife. The latter method of fastening the cloth is much quicker than the former and just as effective. Eggs are also shipped safely almost any distance1 by packing them in a stiff pasteboard carton or box made for this purpose, the space around the egg be- , ing filled with either chaff or bran. This package is then placed in a basyket, the bottom and sides of which are f lined .with excelsior, and the spaces at either end of the box are packed with the same material. On top of

keep out cats, rats and other animals, and enough ventilation should be allowed so that the hens and chicks will have plenty of fresh air. The coop shown is built on a wooden floor, but is not nailed to this floor. This allows it to be lifted completely

NESTS FOR THE SITTING HENS Where only a few hens are set special quarters are not necessary, but if many are used a separate room should be provided. If portable nests nave been provided for the laying hens, the sitters can be moved in them to new quarters. Of the various styles of nests used for sitting hens this one has given good satisfaction. A box 15 inches square, 15 inches wide with a board 6 inches high in front to prevent nesting material from falling out. The nests may be arranged in tiers with a hinge front which makes a platform for each tier when open. When using a bank of nests as the one just described, it would be well to place three or four Inches of damp earth in each nest. The nesting material ns next put in and may consist of hay, chaff, or straw. Pack this material down firmly and shape a circular nest out of it, which should be slightly deeper at the center than at the edges, as a nest so shaped will prevent the eggs from rolling out from under the hen and becoming chilled.

off the floor, which greatly facilitates cleaning. The sides fit over the edge of the floor to make it tight and dry. The door, covered with H-inch wire netting, slides in back of the slat front to close the coop, and is pushed back of the closed part of the front when the coop i3 open. Holes in both ends of the coop covered with wire ends of the coop covered with wire give additional ventilation. The middle slat is removable, sliding into a square wire staple at the top and dropping into a half joint at the bottom. The slats are made of strips 1

inch square. The long, narrow door In the front of the coop Is kept open for ventilation except In cool weather or on cold nights. Dimensions and building details of the coop are shown in the drawing. Here's a suggestion for a good dry mash: Three parts by weight of corn meal and 1 part beef scrap. Still another ration may be made up of 1 pound of wheat bran, 1 pound of wheat moddllngs, 6 pounds of beef scraps and 16 pounds of corn meal.

HEAVY MEAT EATERS HAVE SLOW KIDNEYS Eat less meat if you feel Backachy or have bladder trouble Take glass of Salts

No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which excites the, kidneys, they become overworked from the strain, get sluggish and fail to filter the waste and poisons from the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and urinary disorders come from sluggish kidneys. The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts or if the urine is cloudy, offensive full of sediment, irregular of past.age or attended by a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat and get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast, and in a few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate the kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot injure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which every one should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active, and the blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kiiney complications.

MAGNESIA BATHS FOR INDIGESTION

Doctor Recommends Them in Place of Drugs, Pepsin, Soda or Artificial Digestents.

"Onlv those In constant touch with sufferers from Indigestion and dyspepsia can fully realize the harm done by tho improper use of artificial disrestents or drugrs like pepsin or soda pills

and tablets in the treatment oi stomach trouble," declares a well known physician. In fully nine cases out of ten digestive trouble is caused by an excess of hydrochloric acid In the stomach, which sours and ferments the food, creatingpas on the stomach and often causing intense pain or burning. The forcing of food from stomach to Intestines with artificial disestents In such a case H almost criminal folly as serious inteRtlnal Indigestion may very easily follow. Instead the stomach should be Riven a magnesia bath to clean out the acids, sweeten the food contents, soothe and allay inflammation and Irritation of the stomach walls and thus permit the normal healthy

digestion of the food. . You can g-ive your acid inflamed stomach no finer treatment than a magnesia bath. It Is simple, easy and pleasant to take, cannot injure the stomach and is not at all expensive. Just get a small bottle of Bisurated Magnesia (either tablets or powder) from your druggist, put a teaspoonful of the powder or two tablets in a glass of water and drink it at every meal for a few days and your stomach will act and feel fine. It must be understood that I do not advise the use of such forms of magnesia as citrates, acetates, sulphates, milks or lump magnesia. One of these might do more harm than good. I believe that nothing but pure blaurated magaesla should be used to neutralize an acid stomach. This form is not difficult to obtain. The best druggists have it and in the bisurated tablet or powder form it will Instantly neutralize stomach acidity and insure painless, natural digestion for even chronic sufferers from stomach trouble.

The "8-16" is easy to handle, economical and durable. It supplies reliable power for every farm job, and just as important, it is made by a Company with an established reputation for dependability. It is a real one-man outfit tractor and plows are combined in one machine, and full control is from the driver's seat. With the Advance-Rumely you plow the same as with a horse gang, the plows are where you can always see what you're doing. Also you can back up with your plows, make short turns and cut square corners. KEROSENE FOR FUEL Kerosene is its fuel, and it burns kerosene, not as a make-shift proposition, but continuously and at variable loads as well as full load. An Advance-Rumely "8-16" not only will plow, but it will draw your discs, -drills, harrows, mowers and binders, and on the belt it will run a small separator, hay baler, silo filler, sheller, feed grinder, etc. In fact, it will deliver the same reliable, steady power on all jobs draw-bar or belt. When used for other jobs than plowing, the plows are quickly detached. The powerful four-cylinder motor and the entire machine is Advance Rumely built throughout It comes from the same shops that build the well-known Oil Pull tractor, the Ideal Separator, and all the other dependable machines in the Advance-Rumely line. Come in and get a catalog of this outfit. For a practical demonstration watch the "S-16" at work. We are going to plow at Reid Hospital Friday and the West Side Garden lots Saturday.
