Helen looked, up, a tired little look
on her face, imd a long black smudge
on her cheek. She leaned wearily
against the door and looked up at
Warren as he caine in. Warren gazed
around in unfeigned astonishment.
Furniture was everywhere. Helen
stood in the doorway of their oed
room and behind her Warren could
see the things that had been in the
guest room, the room where Winifred
slept.
"What on earth are you doing?"
he questioned, none too good huraor
edly.
"I'm changing rooms dear, and I am
so tired I could drop."
"I should think you would be. What
on earth are you changing rooms tor?
Do you mean to say that we are not
going to have our old bedroom any
more?"
"Now, Warren, don't be unreason
able before you hear what I am doing.
You know that we have talked about
changing rooms for a long time. The
guest room has more light and Is much
nicer."
"Well, couldn't you do any better
than this with it? Heavens, you have
had all day to work and the furniture
Isn't half placed."
"But I had to clean. Mary and I
have been wiping down woodwork and
cleaning the floors all day. I wanted
60 much to finish up before you came
home, but it was too much for me."
"That's the trouble with you wom
en," j Warren snorted disagreeaPly,
"you friever have any system about any
thing What I can't understand is why
yojf'didn't leave this room and get our
ctfn bedroom in order first."
"Well, because Winifred has to be
put to bed there, and I can finish this
one after dinner."
"Yes. and I have asked Davenport
up to dinner. He ought to be here any
minute."
"Warren, why didn't you let me
know?"
"I tried to get you twice, but no one
answered."
Helen reflected a moment. That
must have been when they had the
furniture blocked against the door and
Mary hadn't answered. Then the re
membrance that a guest was coming
forced everything else out of her mind
and she turned to Warren despair
ingly.
Helen T'p in Anns
"We haven't a thing but lamb stew."
"Well, it will have to do. His wife
Is out of town and I asked him to
come up."
"But, dear, it won't do. T simply
couldn't have Mrs. Davenport's hus
band here and give him nothing out

salad. What time is it?"
. -."Ten minutes of six."
"Mary must go out and tret some
things. Wo must manage somehow."
"Well, you have no one but yourself
to blame. If you would just think a
little bit sometimes when you have
wild schemes in your head everyone
would be better off."
"Yes, and if you would he more con
siderate of your wife's feelings than
you are of keening business relations

SATURDAY EVENING,
room that had been the guest room
and began a frantic hunt for her
pocket book. It was not to be found.
She hurried back to the living room,
which was the only room in the house
that looked orderly, and- asked War
ren for some change.
Ha handed her a dollar, and she
went to Mary with it. Mary good
naturedly enough promised to get
everything. One look at Helen's face
would have melted the hardest heart,
and Mary was genuinely attached to
Helen.
"Now, don't you worry. Mrs. Curtis,"
she said, soothingly. "Just get a warm
bath and some fresh things on. I'll get
some cheese and make a Roquefort
dressing for the salad, and we might
have some strawberries. It'll bo all
right; you wait and see."
And Helen, comforted by Mary's
bluff attempt at sympathy, smiled a
little and went back to her disorderly
bedroom. She hurried through her
dressing, unable to find half the things
she wanted, and looking at the clock
every minute for fear the bell would
ring. Mary came in and began to
bustle around the dining room, and
Helen, with a final look in the glass,
called Winifred and began to undress
her hurriedly. i
Winifred, with her usual amount
of curoslty. asked a million questions,
which Helen answered hurriedly or
absently. She was conscious that the
telephone bell rang, but Warren an
swered it, and she could not hear what
he said as easily as she could have
from the old room. She wondered if
after all she had been foolish to
change. And then the thought of the
morning sunlight comforted her. War
ren had always complained of the sun
in the morning, and in'the ne"w room
they had the sun after 2 o'clock.
Winifred said her prayers and
hopped into bed. Helen kissed her and
turned out the light. Then she hur
ried out to Warren. He looked up at
her quizzically.
"To bad you had all your trouble.
Davenport's not coming."
"Oh, Warren!"
"What's the matter now? You don't
know what you want. I thought you'd
be glad."
Helen had sunk down into the chair
opposite him and was ready to cry
from nervousness.
"I am glad, or I would have been
earlier. But I have hurried so and
Mary had to go out and buy salad for
another dessert."
"Well, we can eat everything our
selves. I suppose."
"It's not that."
"What Is It, then?"
"You don't understand, Warren. It's
just that it was awfully Inconsiderate
of you."
"Of me? Why, I told you that I
tried to telephone you. It's your own
fault."
Helen would have given anything If
Warren had taken her Into his arms
and told her he was sorry she had
been rushed. She wanted that more
than anythng, but as usual he did not
understand. She turned away to ex
amined a magazine without speaking.
She was afraid to speak, for the hot
tears were forcing their way to her
eyelids and she felt an ominous tight
ening in her throat.

COMBINE VIRTUES OF NATURAL
AND ARTIFICIAL INCUBATION
The Hen's Time Is Valuable
and Should Be Conserved
Much as Possible
Centralize the Sitting Hens
in a Coop Built For the
Purpose
By Kobert Armstrong
Expert Poultryman and Writer.
Owners of small flocks of chickens,
specially farmers, will continue to do
tlielr hatching by liens because they
have not, the time to devote to rearing
the chicks by artificial means. There
is wisdom in this, but on the other
hand the hen's time is valuable, too.
Why not perform the hatching with a
machine, and leave the responsibility
of brooding to the hens? The Idea Is
entirely practical—and economical.
I The hen will continue to be the
means of hatching and rearing chick
ens for a large number of poultry
keepers, especially those who have
small flocks, or those who have not
the time nor inclination to adopt arti
ficial brooding methods, despite the
fact that the natural way has several
disadvantages; mainly—the difficulty
of securing broody hens early enough
to produce fall layers, specially if the
winter is severe; and the loss of the
hen's time from tne laying house,
wherein she would have probably laid
a couple dozen of eggs. To offset
this loss, however, there is no gainsay
ing that the natural method has its
advantages.
Kasler to Incubate Than llrood
All things considered, the hen is a
better brooder than man has yet in
vented, which is to be expected, and
the same may be said o fher as an in
cubator, although the relative merits
of artificial and natural incubation do
not seem to be as Important as the
brooding. In other words, incubators
have reached a state of perfection
whereby their efficiency compares very
favorably with the best efforts of
Mistress Biddy. We are better able
to imitate hatching, perhaps, than
brooding, because in the first process
we are better able to control our
"charge." The egg is incapable of
voluntary motion; it cannot stray from
the conditions best suited to its de*el
opment, neither has It a propensity for
immoderateness. The chick, on the
contrary, is guilty of many indiscre
tions, and sometimes he is incorrigible.
Frequently, our greatest efforts are
unable to frustrate an evil, and what
is more hopeless, we have not the gift
of being able to divine the strange con
volutions of the chick's mind.
Strong, vigorous chicks are not al
ways obtained from properly incu
bated eggs, whether the hatching is
done artificially or naturally. A suc
cessful hatch depends on more than
'the methods of incubation; it goes
'further back, to the selection of strong,
.fully matured breeding stock, well
I mated, and properly fed and housed.
I The novice, therefore, is often ready
to condemn his incubator when a few
lunhatched eggs are found on the trays
after a hatch is completed, when in
'reality the quality of the eggs is en
tirely at fault. Moreover, the eggs
usually set in a machine are a collec
tion from an entire flock, and on a
much larger scale than those set under
a hen. The hen very often steals her
nest and sits on none but her own
eggs. We do not bother at finding
two or three unhatched eggs under a
hen, whereas the same per cent of un
hatched eggs In an incubator seems
unsatisfactory and wasteful.
I'se Machine For Two Weeks
Assuming- then, that the poultry
keeper wishes to have his chicks
brooded hy hens, he would do well to
consider combing the virtues of the in
cubator as a time saver. Briefly, the
scheme is this: Place the eggs in a
machine for the first two weeks, and
after they have been tested for fertil
ity and dead germs, give the known
to-be-fertile eggs to the hens for the
remaining week of incubation. In
many cases they will hatch every egg.
This method not only saves two weeks
of the hens' time, an item of vital im
portance on the egg farm, but it also
enables the poultry keeper to com
mence his hatching two weeks earlier
than if he first waited for the hens to
become broody. Furthermore, it
saves the loss of time incurred by the
hens sitting on infertile eggs or those
which are too weak to develop.
When the eggs have been kept in
the incubator until the eighteenth and
nineteenth day the results in chicks
hatched under hens by this plan have
been very satisfactory. Generally,
the hatches secured from three hens
make comfortable broods for two hens,
whereupon the remaining broody hen
is made to sit over again on another
lot of "fertlles" from the incubator.
Xo Xeed For Storing Eggs
It is not necessary to start with the
incubator filled with eggs. They may
be placed in the machine in units of
about twenty, or whatever number is
COLUMBIAN PLYMOUTH ROCKS
Within the last twenty years fanciers j
who have admired the handsome |
plumage of the Light Brahma, but pre- I
rerred a smoothlegged fowl, have
worked hard to produce and perfect !
this plumage in our most popular
American breeds. The results have
developed the Columbian Wyandottes
and Columbian Plymouth Kocks. The
latter are increasing in .popularity, not
only with the fanciers, but with those
who discriminate in favor of a fowl
possessing valuable utility qualities. 1
Like all Plymouth Rocks, the Co- I
lumbian has rich yellow skin and legs j
and presents a full-meated plump car- j
cass, free from dark pin feathers. The j
fowls do wall In confinement or on free i
range, are good foragers, and as a i
profitable farmer's fowl they equal'
thought will produce the correct units
for the hens, after the infertile eggs
and dead germs have been removed.
Each unit, of course, should be mark
ed to distinguish it from the others.
This practice offers an advantage to
the poultryman having a small flock,
inasmuch as he can incubate a large
number of eggs, starting them when
they are fresh, without holding them
until he has enough to fill up the ma
chine.
Still another advantage of this meth
od: It is conceded that the greatest
losses in artificial Incubation are at
tributed to chicks which are almost
fully developed dying in the shell. The
correct amount of moisture, evapor
ation and ventilation are all essential
to successful incubation, and they are
all very closely allied. A circulation
of fresh air is necessary or the embryo
would be without sufficient oxygen. On
the other hand, excessive ventilation
Will cause undue evaporation, unless
the moisture is restored in some way.
These elements are important at the
beginning of a hatch, but they seem to
take care of themselves more or less
automatically for the first week or ten
days; in the last weeK, and specially
.the last few days, they should receive
very careful attention.
In the natural process of incubation
the hen's body provides the correct
conditions. Air circulation about the
eggs through the hens feathers, yet
the heat from her body throws off suf
ficient moisture to prevent excessive
evaporation. Moreover, this moisture
is charged wit hcarbon dioxide, which
causes the shell of the egg to disinte
grate. Oxygen is needed in abund
ance, but the value of carbonic acid
must not be overlooked. When chicks
fully formed are found dead in the
shell, it is pretty safe to assume they
were unable to break through because
the shell had not been sufficiently dis
integrated, and in consequence they
died from exhaustion. Thus, it will
be seen, a combination of the virtues
of artificial and natural incubation is
worthy of one's consideration.
Centralize the Sitting Hens
It is customary to set hens in nut of
the way corners, sometimes in the hen
house, or in boxes or barrels scattered
about the outbuildings and barnyard,
i paying little heed to the hen's idea in
the matter, or to the safety of her
| brood.. This practice is wrong for
I many reasons. The sitting hen is en
titled to just as much consideration
las the brood mare or cow, and it is
the only way to obtain the full benefit
of her efficiency.
| It is a mistake to set hens in the
i regular poultry house, for they are
certain to be annoyed by the other
layers. The laying hens regard sitters
with contempt; they will lay in the
sitting hen's nest, fight and crowd her
off the nest, very often breaking her
eggs and seriously endangering the
I safety of the hatch. Moreover, the
| nests in the poultry house are very apt
to be troubled with vermin, than which
nothing is a greater handicap to a
young brood of chicks. The sitting
hen should be thoroughly dusted with
a lice expelling powder and given a
clean, fresh nest to herself.
Remote corners in the barn and un
der sheds are unsuitable for the sitting
hen. Such places frequently abound
in rats, which are a constant menace
and they are apt to be visited by an
j inquisitive cat or dog. Then, too, in
i having the nests scattered in this way,
the hens are troublesome to feed and
water; they may be overlooked and
neglected, in which case they will neg
lect their nests. Furthermore, when
the hatch comes off the hen and her
brood will have to be removed to an
outdoor coop, and this changing her
quarters is seldom accomplished with
out difficulties.
Under natural conditions the hen
builds her nest on the ground where
the moisture from the soil will assist
in hatching; she selects a secluded
spot, protected from storms and other
annoyances, when Bhe can go to and
fro for exercise, feed and water with
out fear of having her nest molested.
The poultry raiser will do well to Imi
tate these conditions, not alone for tho
comfort and security of the fowls, but
for the convenience of the attendant as
well.
A special coop for the accommoda
tion of the sitting hens may be built
at every little expense o rtrouble. It
need be but a shed-like structure, 24
inches high in front, 36 inches deep,'
and about 6 feet long. The interior is
divided into five nests or pens, the par
titions running the narrow way of tho
coop, and having a small door at the
front of each pen. No bottom is re
quired to the coop, unless desired, for
it may rest on a well-drained spot of
ground and the nests built upon the
earth. The rear of the pen is the
nest proper, while the front portion
may be used for placing feed and
water before the hen. The roof of
the coop should be hinged, which will
greatly facilitate the attendant's work,
a wirecovered run, about 10 feet long,
and divided into five narrow yards the
same width as the nests, is made in a
scpurate section from the coop. These
are for use when the broods are newly
hatched, when they sV""jl'' b»
more or less, after which the yard may
be removed and the hens given greater
freedom.
A coop of this kind may be built
from odds and ends of lumber about
the place or from packing box mate-1

The advantages of the coop are
numerous—better hatches, less mor

vermin, and the minimum amount of
labor in caring for the hens —every-
thing is centralized.
