Setting Hens.
Good hatches cannot result if the
Bltter9 are bothered by the other
hens, as they are sure to be when set
where outsiders can get to them.
Neither do they hatch quite so well
where they must be fastened up tight,
then given liberty at certain times.
Many hens of many minds, and sitters
are not inclined to get off their eggs
at the same time, incubating time is
best to impress such .truths, so remember
before another hatching season.?E.

Alfalfa.
Really the whole subject of .alfalfa j
might well be treated under the two
heads, "Seeding" and "Harvesting,"
so^ery inclusive are these two phases
of tae subject. Without careful seeding
one cannot have a crop to harvest,
and without careful harvesting he
might almost as well not have a crop.
Both call for intelligence and painstaking
farming, and much patience
and hard work. But the rewards of
these virtues and labors are heavy
; yields from the most valuable forage
plant. If it is worth nine times as
much as timothy, it can well demand
a little more time and labor than
the average crop.?From Coburn's
"The Book of Alfalfa."
Dairy Cows and the Silo.
A Wisconsin dairyman says that
the silo and good feed at reasonable
cost is making this method of
handling dairy herds feasible and
popular. With excellent succulent
feed on hand about all the year, .the
I dairyman plans to have his calves
come at whatever time he considers
will best serve his own interests. The
majorityi of the dairymen in the
southern part of my county are now
equipped with silos, and they would
now consider it a hardship to have to
do without them. In the northern
section the use of silos is less general,
though they are now fast coming into
use.
The desire of the dairymen to build
np their dairy herds in both quality
and quantity is the reason why the
percentage of heifer calves coming
into market is so small. With the
ensilage feed dairymen can mature
their good heifer calves without great
expense, and they are holding them
back for that purpose, in the meanwhile
gradually selling off the old
and less profitable cows and building
up herds of great milk producing
capabilities.
Directions For Modeling a HoineMade
Brooder.
With a little mechanical ability and
a few ordinary tools a good brooder
may be made in spare moments out
of an ordinary large dry goods box.
Obtain a substantial box made of
three-quarters to seven-eighth-inch
stuff and about two and a half by two
and a half by four feet. By glancing
at the illustration of the box you can
readily see the kind of box that is desirable
and how the box is sawed into
two parts. You will notice that one
nart is lareer than the other. The
larger part is used for the bover and,
on account of the lamp being underneath
the floor, necessarily must be
deeper than the scratching apartments.
The large part should measure
two and a half to three feet- in
height on the higher side after the
box is sawed; the smaller part will
measure two feet in height on the
higher side. If the box you obtain
does not conform to these dimensions
saw the box in two proportionately.
After having sawed the box in two,
notice the illustration of the brooder,
showing the way the two parts arc
then put together. The floor in the
larger or hover part is raised from
ten to twelve inches from the bottom
ol the .box so the lamp may be placed
undexfthe floor. The size of your
lamp !Rould govern the height of the
I floor from the bottom of the box. Two
or three inches, of course, may be
counted off from the height of the
lamp, as the flue will go up under the
tin heater that far and still burn well.
An incline is made the whole width
of the scratching apartment from the
floor of the hover floor to the scratching
floor. The floor in this part also
should be several inches from the
ground, to be high and dry and to
I minimize tue incline between the two
floors. There will be a six-inch incline
from the ground to the brooder
door, and a six-inch incline from the
scratching floor to the hover floor.
Little chicks will easily learn to ascend
these snort inclines, but when
made any longer much difficulty will
be experienced with the chicks the
first weeks and probably several will
die from exposure on account of not
being able to find their way back to
the warm hover. These inclines, it is
to be remembered, are made the
whole width of the brooder, so the
little chicks cannot back under it.
A window is placed on each side of
Ihc scratching room. One is placed !
in the hover room, but it cannot bo i
seen in the illustration, as it is on the
opposite side from where the lamp j
fume is placed. These windows are j
made long and narrow to avoid cut- j
ting more boards in the box than may j
be absolutely necessary. Then long,
narrow strips of glass do not cost as
much as the larger pieces. The panes
of glass are held in place by strips of
wood .from the inside and plenty of
putty on the outside.
The roof on both compartments is
made, of good lumber and made very j
substantia] and covered with a good ;
roofing paper or tin and painted. The j
roof hinges at the top. as shown in :
the illustration, so access to any part i
of the brooder will be easy and also
for convenience in cleaning. Notice
the wide eave made all around on the !

away from the walls of the brooder, .
and helps very materially in the appearance.
See that the lid-roofs fit
down snugly against the walls of the
brooder by placing a buffer of a couple
of thicknesses of cloth all around
the edge of the box on the inside in
such manner that the lid will press
down firmly against it.
In making the heater measure the
inside dimensions of the larger apartments.
Obtain a piece of tin that will
fit into this space, possibly just a little
smaller than the floor. Then a
section of ordinary stove pipe, seven j
inches long and seven Inches in di- !
ameter. Do not think that a gallon
tin wiLl do. There must not be any
solder about the tin part of it. Get
your tinner to put a tight cap or lid ,
on one end of this stove pipe. Then j
make a hole in the large tin sheet ,
seven inches in diameter and fasten
the stove pipe to it. It takes a tinner (
and a tinner's tools to do this. The
small pipe leading off from this is two (
inches in diameter and has a tin protector
to keep the wind from blowing
directly in it. Do not fasten the small .
pipe directly to the stove pipe, but ,
have it detached to fit on the collar
of the stove pipe so you can get tne
stove pipe up througb the floor from ,
the lower side so the large tin sheet ,
will cover the whole of the ceiling of ,
the lamp chamber and make the lamp .

room fireproof. With this large
sheet of tin lining the entire ceiling i
of the lamp room,.one could build a i
pretty h.ot fire before anything would
catch fire. A tin shield is easily made
to fit within a half-inch or so of the
stove pipe to keep the chicks from
close proximity to the hot pipe by i
cutting holes in a piece of tin four
inches wide and about twenty-six
inches long.
The making of the hover is the next
thing in order. If your box is two
nvwl " fenlf Vim on/1 i liqlf foAf
| duu a aoii uj vwu cuiu a iiaiL
make the hover about two by two,
leaving a six-inch space about the
sides of the hover. The hover is made
of light pine or poplar boards threefourths
of an inch thick, and the legs
are made long enough so the top of
the hover will easily clear the top of
the tin dome of the stove pipe. Underneath
the hover tack a piece of tin
about twelve inches by twelve inches
to reflect the heat and avoid any possibility
of the hover getting too hot.
Take an old piece of woolen cloth and
tack it in rows, starting at the outside
edge of the hover and making three
or four rows. The woolen curtains
should very nearly touch the floor so
drafts cannot strike the chicks' feet.
We have seen several brooders fail
because the curtains were too short.
Be sure to use wool for the curtain
if you can possibly get it. as it holds
the heat much better than ootton.
Don't be afraid to use plenty of it so
it will be cozy and as near like the
down breast of the mother hen as nos
siblo. Chicks like to have something
pressing against their backs.
A ventilator is made by the tinner
out of scrap tin to open any distance.
One ventilator is placed at the top ol
the brooder on one side and one at
the bottom on the opposite. A piece
of tin bent in a half circle shape is
made to fit over the ventilator opening
on the inside and in the one casd
conveys the air down to within an
inch of the floor and in the other allows
the surplus heat to pass down
and out. This system of ventilation
avoids any possibility of drafts and
yet admits plenty of fresh air and lets
the carbon dioxide pass off from neat
the floor where it is more in abundance.
A door is made for the lamp at the
back side of the brooder. Also at the
back of the brooder make two oblong
hand holes just beneath the ceiling of
the lamp chamber. These holes will
give plenty of ventilation to the lamp
and are used as hand holes by which
to move the brooder about. Be sure
these holes are at least one inch bj
three inches, as the lamp confined in
.so small a room makes a great amount
nf boat and fhpsp will tn
off the surplus and keep the floor ol
tho chick chamber cool. A warm .
brooder floor causes leg weakness.
Purchase a good galvanized tin '
brooder lamp and a sun hinge burn- ,
er. A glass lamp will crack too easily
when it g2ts warm and should never
be used. The flue of the lamp should
also be made of tin.?UidlRnwpolia ,

AEROPLANE ENGINES. 1
Lightness and Economy in Fuel Less
Important Than Trustworthiness.
The result of the application of an
engine and proleller to the glider was '
as curious as it was unexpected. The
memorable experiments of Professor
Langley on the Potomac River with ;
gliders of his invention and a small
steam engine whose weight was something
like twelve pounds a horse pow- ^
er gave rise to the idea that only a ^
motor of much lighter weight a horse
power was required to transform the
glider into a successful power driven I
machine, hut. now that such a motor
is available through the perfecting of j i
the .internal combustion engine it is j !
found that extreme lightness though <
desirable is not altogether essential, J
and in fact an engineof twelve pounds ?
a horse power, if fitted to one of the
oest types of aeroplane to-day, would j
larry it with a pilot into the air.
It has lately been seen that a bi- .
plane can lift three passengers be- \
sides the pilot over short distances, (
while two may be carried with ease. y
Assuming the combined weight of the f
three passengers to.be 420 pounds,
ihis is equivalent to an allowance of j
nore than eight pounds a horso power ,
for a fifty horse power engine, in ad- l
Jition to the actual weight of the en- ^
gine, which would be three to four -j
pounds a'horse power. While there- T
fore the ultimate achievement of dynamic
flight was due to the lightness
of the internal combustion engine in ^
relation to the power developed, sub- ^
sequent experiment has demonstrated ^
how to improve the efficiency of the
sustaining surfaces and to diminish
head resistance to such an ettent as
to make extreme lightness in the motor
desirable only on the score of
freight carrying capacity.
The competing claims o-f freight capacity
and of motor trustworthiness,
as insured by duplication of parts
with consequent increase in weight,
will be determined by the objects j
sought in the design of the aeroplane.
Saving of weight in the motor, however,
permits the construction of a
more compact and controllable machine
than would be possible if the
sustaining surfaces were designed to
carry considerable dead weight, and
it is toward a compromise in these respects
that the design of the motors
Is tending.
The original motor used by the
Wright brothers wais comparatively
heavy and crude for the power devel-.
oped, but with the large sustaining
surfaces with which the early machines
were fitted this extra weight
wis by no means a disadvantage,
since with a motor constructed on the
lines of an automobile engine it en
abled them without undue risk to
carry on experiments which resulted
in all round improvement in the machine.
The result of experience now i
shows that the aeroplane proper, 1
methods of stabilizing and control. <
and construction generally, are more i
highly developed than the motor, j
which suffers from some palpable de- s
fects that must circumscribe the use- <
fulness of the machine until the in- <
creasing attention directed to the sub- i
ject has wrought the improvements t
which are desired. 1
To gain freight carrying capacity 1
the weight of the motor a horse pow- ?
er must be kept low, but without any t
sacrifice in the certainty of its work- ?
ing, and the ideal motor, like the (
"one hoss shay" of Oliver Wendell <
Holmes, should be constructed <
throughout with such a regard to the 5
saving of weight that all parts should i
have the same factor of safety for the
stresses that come upon them. Considerable
doubt still exists as to the I
best size and type of propeller, and <
therefore the efficiency of the propel- 1
line- mpfhnnism as a whnlp rrmst rp- 1
main indeterminate; but the lack of
definite rules upon which to design
propellers need not interfere with the
problem of the motor engineer, who
has to provide a constant power at
the propeller shaft with small weight
of motor and adequate strength.
At present the airman is more concerned
with trustworthiness of running
than with economy in fuel, but
he is content to expend a gallon of
petrol in traversing only twelve miles
if by so doing he can secure' infallibility
in the motor upon which his safety
depends. Jn this respect the design
of aerial motors is unlike that of
the motor car engine, where economy
forms one of the competing claims of
the manufacturers.
Leading airmen have expressed the
belief that flight will be impossible
with motors of less horse power' i\i
the future than are fitted to aeroplanes
to-day, and when the experi
ments at the National Physical Lab- ,
oratory on propellers have been coneluded
the reasons for this prophetic
utterance may become apparent. The (
low thrust a horse power is due to the
ignorance at present existing as to
propeller design. Like the marine ,
turbine, the aerial engine runs too *
fast for the best propeller speeds. The '
Wright brothers overcame this difficulty
by the somewhat unmechanical .
expedient of chain gearing, one chain
being crossed. A French firm has (
utilized the half time cam shaft of the ,
engine, suitably enlarged, to drive \
the propeller, thus getting a speed re- ^
duction of two to one, but the Antoinette,
Farman and Voisin types continue
to drive the propeller direct
without reduction. It is probable
that the direct drive will prevail, for
any form of gearing, however simple, ,
introduces an element of risk with
doubtful benefits.
The elimination of the dead weight
of a flywheel by the rotating cylinder i
motor is some advantage in l'avor of :
the principle, in addition to the efficient
coaling. It is perhaps to be regretted
that British manufacturers
have not devoted more attention to
this type of motor, which has a claim
to the earnest attention and study of
engineers. The heavy rotating mass
provided by the cylinders has a stea- 1
dying effect on the machine, and the 1
fact that the cylinders and connecting
rods revolve, each in its own circular
orbit, eliminates the results ol' reciprocating
parts, while the perfect bal- <
??>nce of the motor can be easily at- i
Lained, any departure therefrom be- '
jos counteracted by screwing the 1
spatting plugs in or out for the nee- '
essary adjustment.
One difficulty of the rotating enSine
is the lubrication, and until some
means of reducing the consumption
or lubricating oil is devised the rotating
cylinder motor must have at least
one compensating defect. On occasions
like the London to Manchester
flight the use of large quantities of
lubricating oil may not matter, but
in an everyday motor for the aeroplane
in the hands of the "chauffeur,"
r)r whatever his aerial equivalent may
be called, the lubrication must he relifed
upon more than in the motor car,
for while failure intheone case moans
anly inconvenience, in the other it
nay entail disaster.?London Times.

They were having an election of

1 pig squeal. He looked around and
;aw that the pig had its head jammed

The farmer stopped long

It has been our fortune to look
hrough a series of recent examina-v

surprise at the extraordinary mental

;f real knowledge; they are rather a
collection of traps for the unwary stulent,
who is examined, not in his abil- j
ty to spaak a foreign language, but
n his familiarity with irregular verbs.
The history papers specialize on

Afternoon Tea.
One of the fads that has cropped '

them with lemon or orange. Rock
candy is also used for this purpose.
Lemon and tea are said to clear the
complexion, but if one is very tired '
the tea should be drunk clear or with
a little milk and very slowly. If one
ever noticed the epicurean comfort of
an old tea drinker with a cup of hoi
tea one must have observed with whal
deliberation the tea was taken. It i9
a fault with many housewives to let
the tea stand too long after the water j

Trade Schools For Austrian Women. 1
Thraugh a decree of the Minister
of Public Works opening the State
trade and technical schools to both I
sexes alike Austrian women will enJoy
a greatly enlarged choice of occupations.
Among the chief new trades
and industries which they can now
enter upon are artistic leather work
and bookbinding,photography, watchmaking,
engraving, ornamental wood
working, as well as some branches cf
the chemical and electrical trades.
Hitherto women have been rigidly
excluded from these trade schools,
and those who desired to obtain sucn |
training wore compelled either to go
abroad cr else attend expensive private
institutions at home.
But while the women are rejoicing
at the new opportunities of work afforded
them, their male relatives do
not share their enthusiasm, pointing i
out that even under the old conditions
out of every 1000 wage earners
in Austria 4 30 were women.?Vienna

Ancient Britons1 Sweet Tooth.
Mention of the German custom of
eating a compote of wild strawberrief
with roast pork reminds us that ouf
ancestors in England had a decidedly
sweeter tooth than we have. In Ti
dor times it was the general practirf
to pour honey over the meat, and i?
deed honey or sugar was used in s< f_
many dishes (to say nothing of beinf
mingled with the wine) that it is oC
record that the teeth of nost peopf
were black in consequence. }?ost dt
