FILLING THE NEEDS OF THE SITTING KEN How to Use Hatching Pen and Nest Boxes and How to f Manage The Fowls. The care of sitting hens is made | easier and successful batches more certain when the sitters are confined in a pkn away from the layers. The floor of this pen should be earth, dug up an<^ jaoteteme^ poroe shojdg ^e placed aoout the ifdea. There cat be from 25 to 20 sitting hens fn a peifc Yor the nest a box 12 to 15 Inches square and about the same in height is suitable. Remove the top, front, and bottom of the boa. Cover the top with a burlap sack to provide ventilation and nail a wooden strip 4 inches wide across the front at the bottom. Have a wide board to lean against the open front and a brick to keep ft in place when it is necessary to confine the hen. Fill the bottom of the box level with the top of the 4-inch board with moist garden soil and hollow the soil like a saucer, so that the eggs will not roll away from the hen and become chilled. The surface of the earth should be smooth and hard to allow n?ov fr\ rwl 1 tho qorfh txH t Vi VUV kV/ 1 W*4' v/v f Vi WUW VU4 VU TT * Vll a very little straw and put in a few common eggs. DOU3LS NEST Am. SITTING HENjf. Remove the sitting hen to the new nest at night. Duet her with yellow insect powder or grease a small epaoe on the skin below her vent with a piece of 33 per cent mercurial ointment about as large as a pea. This is for lice prevention. Place the hen quietly on the nest and shot her In. The next evening, when it Is growing dark, dishes of whole grain and water should be placed In front of the nest and die hen removed to feed. Leave her alone and do not return until jalght If the hen 1b then on her nest and contented, she may be given the Bitting of eggs yon have selected tor her. Feed sitting hens at the same hour every day. Give them whole grain (whole corn is best) in a dish, letting therm eat all they desire. Even under the moet favorable feeding conditions, a hen will loee about threefourths of a pound in weight during the three weeks of Incubation. If there are many sitters in the pen, ft is best to feed seven or eight together, removing any that do not leave their nests. Replace the hens after 20 minutes. The doors of the nests aire closed except at feeding time. Examine the nests while the bene are feeding and if any eggs are broken wash (he other eggs in warm water and clean the neet Moisten the earth about the nest fre<juently. On the eighteenth day of incubation, immerse the eggs for two minutes in warm water (106 degrees F.) This softens the membranes inside the shell and results in the hatching of a greater percentage of chicks. FRANK C. HARE, Extension Poultry Husbandman, Clemson Agricultural College.

Many Kingstree people work every day in some strained unnatural position?bending constantly over a desk ?riding on jolting wagcns or carsdoing laborious housework; lifting, reaching or pulling, or trying the back in a hundred and one other ways. All these strains tend to wear, weaken and injure the kidneys until they fall behind in their work of filtering the poisons from the blood. Doan's Kidney Pills are for weak kidneys, and bad backs. Their effective work is convincing proof of merit. C R Rutledge, engineer, A C L R R, 212 S Gilliard St, Florence, S C, says: "The jar and jolt of the engine caused my back to ache, and my kidneys to get out of order. I ? -J 1???? ?* fimao TUn was sore tinu lame at uiuco4 a.lit kidney secretions passed irregularly. I also had symptoms of kidney trouble. I finally used Doan's Kidney Pills and they relieved me." Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy?get Doan's Kidney Pills?the same that Mr Rudledge had.
