Should she return to the nest alter feeding, remove the china egg or egga, and put under those that are to be Incubated, n cool weather It Is best to put not more than ten eggs under a hen. while titer In the spring one can put-twelve Ousting Hen With insect Powder Be* fore Setting, to Kill Vermin. to fifteen, according to the size of the hen. If eggs become broken while the nen Is setting, replace the nest with new, clean material ' and wash the eggs in lukewarm water bo aa to remove all broken egg material from them Many egga that are laid are infer tile. For this reason it is advisable to set several hens at the same time. After the eggs have been under the hen for ^even day6 they should bo tested as%o whether they are forttle ?or infertile. Infertile eggs should be ; removed and used at home in cook* ing or for omelets, and the fertile eggs should be put back under the hen. in this way it is often possible to put all the eggs that three hens originally started to alt on under two liens and reset the other hen again. A good homemade eqg tester or cnndlet can be made from h large shoe bo* or any box that is large enough to go over a lamp by removing an end and rutting a hole a little larger than the size of a quarter in the bottom oi the 1 jx so that when it is set over it common kerosene lamp the hole in the bottom will be opposite the blaze A hole the size of a silver dollar should be cut in the top of the box t0 allow the heat to escape. An lnfrrtiFe egg. when held before the small hoTfc with a lamp lighted inside the bo*, will look perfectly clear. th?> ?an>e as a fresh one, while the fertile eg g will show a small dark spot, known as the embryo, with a mass of little blnod veins extending in all directions if the embryo is living.

Chickens hutchod during the winter should be broodod in a poultry house or shed, whllo the outside weath or conditions are unfavorable; after the weather become* getUefl) thfy should be reared in brood coops out of doors. Brood coops should be made so that they con be olosed at night to keep out cats, rats, and other ani mals. and enough ventilation should be allowed so that the hen and chicks will have plenty of fresh air. Hens will successfully brood ten to fifteen chickens in the early breeding sea son, and eighteen to twenty-fivo in warm weather, depending upon the size of the hen. The hon should be confined in the coop until tho chicks are weaned, while the chickens are allowed free range after they are a few days old. When hens are allowed free range and have to forage for feed for them selves and chicks they often take them through wet grass, where the chicks may become chilled and die. Then, too, in most broods there are one or two chicks that are weaker than the others, and if the hen iB al lowed free range the weaker ones often got behind and out of hearing of the mother's cluck and call. In most cases this results in the loss and death of these chicks, due to becom* I ing ohilled. The loss in young chicks due to allowing tho hen free range is undoubtedly large. Chickens frequently have to be caught and put into their coops dur? ing sudden storms aB they are apt to huddle in some hole or corner where they get chilled or drowned. They must be kept growing constant ly if the best results are to be ob tained. as they never entirely recov er from checks in their growth even for a short period Hens should be left with the chicks as long as they | will brood them. TIME TO INVEST IN MULES | War Is Having as Great Influence on Industry as on Market for Meat Animals. To the man who has feed, but who hesitates to invest in cattle or sheep, either because of tho high initial cost or the uncertain prospects m selling time, may occur the idea or feeding young horses or mules. The war is having fully as great an influence on the horse and mule business as on the market for meat animate. - Seemingly, therefore, the present time is most propitious for buying young mules. They may be bought $25 td $35 lower than usual, and when they are three or four years old there Is every reason to believe they can be sold for $25 to $50 a head more than in an ordinary year heretofore. Growing mules will have a greater value than usual during the next two or three years, in case owners want to borrow money on them. In buying rnule colts, it is advis able to buy females. The cotton trade pavs $15 to $25 a head more for mare mules than for males- haoanaa they are better shaped and look more trim. Mare mule coltrf will cost $5 or $10 a h*?ad more than males. Railroad con tractors and mine workers prefer male mules because they can stand moro work, but the cotton trade pref erence for females overbalances this demand to the extent indicated. Kansas and Missouri are the great est surplus mule states At the pres ent time it is possible to buy any reasonable number of weaning mule colts within a radius of 100 miles, or less, of Kansas City, In a compara tively short time ' Mlpsourf posses ses about 350,000 mules.

Since thO passage of fed eral leglaltttion prohibiting the whip uient in Interstate commerce of medi cinal pr*'i>n rutioi*? for which false aud fraudulent claHhs ace made, there lias been a marked tendency to label these preparations "remedies" Instead of "euros" or 'infallible cures" us they used to la* called. In 'many eases, however, they can not even l*> regard ed as remedies, A "cherry balsam," for example, fqr the "euro" of "consumption" and "hemorrhage of the lungs," which it was represented would "strike at the voi y root of the disease" was found on upa lysis to be nothing J'Bt ft (ion In* wafer and alcoh'ol of opluiu. sugar, beusialdehyde, Inorganic salts coloring matter. It contained no cher ry bark extract or balsam. ,A more elaborate "cure" consisted of five d liferent preparations which the credulouH patient was to t^ke sep arately. These were first, the tnedl clue proper, the essential Ingredients of which were found to bo morphine, clunaiulc add and arsenic? not a very safe mixture to take habitually ; sec ond, a tonic which was supposed to contain alcohol, chloroform, and co deine which is a derivative of opium or morphine ; fourth, a mixture which contained some quinine, and a solu tion of water and alcohol : and fifth, codeine tablets. Even the strongest constitution could hardly stand a pro longed course of such treatment. * In the marketing Qt such prepara tions considerable ingenuity is fre quently shown. One of the main ob jects Is to persuade the patient that he Is receiving, at a comparatively low price, the Individual attention of a trained specialist. For this purpose, symptom blanks are employed. These contain, a 'number of questions about the patient's symptoms, the number varying from a dozen or so to as many us 70 or SO. The patient Is led to be lieve that the information which he furnishes in reply to these questions, will be carefully considered before any medicine Is prescribed for him, though every physician knows that an accur ate diagnosis cannot possibly be made iu this way. As a matter of fact none is attempted and the degree of atten tion which these individual reports re r-oivo 1'iin he nic.'isurcd-by the fact-that cases have come under the observa tion of the department In which mall order concerns doing a business of this kind have received as many as 4,0<H) letters a day.
