LEOTUItES ON INCUBATORS,
CHICKENS, EGGS, FOOD, DIS
EASES, THEIR CURES,
ETC.
Before a large audience,
evening In City Hall, under the aus
pices of the Wayne County Poultry
Association, Prof. T. F. McGrew,
principal of the School of Poultry
Husbandry at the I. C. S.. Scranton,
delivered his popular lecture on "In
cubation and Brooding." The Asso
ciation is booming, and now mem
bers are Joining every week. The
President of the society, E. Kins
man, Cherry Ridge, presided and In
troduced tho speaker.
The lecture In part was as fol
lows: Women Best Poultry Growers.
"Women have been the most suc
cessful poultry growers in the world.
Women are always careful and at
tentive of anything they take hold of.
Success in the poultry business
comes from knowing how. If you
know how to run it, you can make
money out of it. About nine out of
ten don't make it pay in our coun
try And yet how many thousands
of men fail during the year among
the grocerymen and other lines of
business.
The test of any person's ability in
handling poultry is how many eggs
ho got in January. If anybody tells
mo he doesn't get eggs in January,
I'll toll him he doesn't know anything
about poultry. There is an excuse
for December. - Everything fails
then. In February hens should be
gin to lay, and In .March everybody's
kens lay.
"Pickin' Hens."
In "pickin' hens," a mighty good
rule to follow is: First, a hen with
plenty of breast development, where
she can store her food. A narrow
breasted hen can't eat enough to
keep herself warm over night. Sec
ondly, she must be wide between the
thighs, so as to have plenty of room
for tho egg-producing organs to do-
velon in there. Thirdly, there must
be just as much of the hen back of
the thigh-lino as before, so that sue
may bo evenly poised.
About an egg- every other day Is
xbout the best you can expect. If
you can get ten or twelve dozen eggs
yearly a hen, you are doing the best
you can expect to do.
Never let the huckster come on
your place and pick out your best
hens. Sell him what you don't want.
Tho natural outcome of careful se
lection will bo fertile and hatchable
eggs, which are needed for Incuba
tion.
"No mother would think of feed
lnc a little baby a piece of fruit cake,
and feeding millet seed to a little
chick Is just exactly like fruit cake
to a little baby. They can't digest
it. A little cottage cheese for
chicks is good: too much is death.
Bran middlings, corn meal and
ground alfalfa is a good, dry
mash. Bran itself has no sustenance
as food value, but It irritates the in
testines and keeps up a healthy con
dition there.
About Incubator xiicriuoinctcrs.
If the temperature of your Incu
bator waltzes between 101 and
103 degrees you're all right. In
cooling your eggs always use tne
back of your hand. When the back
of your hand tells you those eggs
havo been cooling, it's time to put
them back.
The seventh day is a vital time be
cause the blood begins to circulate
In the veins at that time. If you
burst one of those veins the chick
dies.
Don't open the door of the Incu
bator until that hatch is complete.
If your little chicks get up close to
the door and gasp for air, open the
door a little and give them air, and
take the risk and save what -you
havo there.
Study the directions of your Incu
bator and follow It. Learn to know
if there is enough moisture in the
incubator. Don't trust to one ther
mometer In an Individual Incubator.
Put a couple In. You may And out
you got a cold corner. Waltz that
thermometer around and test the
corners of your machine.
"I see some people are paying f 30
for 15 eggs now. If you ever do,
divide them up between Four Good
Biddies, with health behind them,
and they will hatch out $ 30 eggs bet
ter than any incubator.
After tho eggs are hatched, say on
a Monday morning, let them in till
Wednesday morning. There Is a
great big yolk drawn into the adbo
men of the chickens which is plenty
to keep them in fine condition, forty
eight hours. When you get them In
your brooder Ilx up wooden tray and
cover It with coarse, dry sand. Pour
a tablespoonful of crumbs over the
sand for every 25 chickens.
Teaching Chicles To Scratch.
If the chicks can all be induced to
scratch they'll havo learned the les
son of exercise. Don't feed them
hard-boiled eggs. They are full of
egg. A man never gets so full as
they are. It will clog up their
crops. Two weeks Is time enough to
begin to feed them hard-boiled eggs.
Give them about one teaspoonful to
twenty-five chicks. Don't try to kill
them with Kindness.
For chick feed, three grains aro
plenty: corn, wheat, oats. Get some
oatmeal; corn grits, and sift out the
fine particles of corn. That makes
the nicest kind of chick feed

said that was the kind he wanted.
It Is the custom for the county to

Since Adlmities has refused tho

Admiral Lord Charles Beresford
has warmly Indorsed the universal

Commons. Ho said:
"If we can get the nations which
make up the Empire and the United
States to come together and throw in
their power to try and influence all
other Powers on the side of peace
much will bo done to delay war. It
might not stop war, but It would
give is time to pause, and If we
could get time we should often have
no war.
"You are never going to do away
with war," he added, "unless you are
so well armed that an enemy cannot

FAILS TO APPEAR
BOOKER T. WASHINGTON TOO
ILL TO GO TO COURT.
Booker T. Washington, the negro
educator, was unable to appear in
the court yesterday morning against
Henry A. Ulrlch, the white man who
Is accused of assaulting him on
Sunday night. When the case was
called Wllford H. Smith, a negro
lawyer appeared before the magis
trate with a note signed by Dr.
Botsford of the Manhattan Hotel,
where the President of Tuskegee In
stitute for Negroes is staying, which
said Mr. Washington's Injuries made
It Inadvisable, for him to leave his
apartment. His condition was said
not to be serious, however. He re
celved two scalp wounds and one
ear was badly Injured.
He remained In his apartment at
the Manhattan Hotel all day and
would not receive callers. He said
that he -would make no statement,
on the advice of his lawyer, and re
ferred inquirers to Seth Low, Pres
ident of tho Institute's Board of
Trustees.
When asked if he would be In
court today to press the charges
against the carpenter, he replied
that it depended upon tho advice of
his physician and lawyer.
Up at the Ulrlch homo they were
indignant because Police Lieut.
Qulnn had refused to allow a charge
of Illegal entry to bo made against
Dr. Washington while he had enter
tained the latter's charge against
Ulrlch. The latter said that his law
yers had decided to endeavor again
to lodge tho cjiargo against the ne
gro educator.
Seth Low, President or tne uoaru
of Trustees of the Tuskegee Insti
tute, was closeted with Dr. Wash
ington until 11 o'clock yesterday
morning. At this time they prepar
ed a statement of the case, which
was later given out to the newspa
pers by Mr. Low. The statement
says that tho Trustees of the lnstl

MAN'S FACE MADE NEW
PATIENT, TERRIBLY DISFIGUR
ED, PLEASED WITH SUR
GEONS' WORK.
Surgeons In St. John's Hospital,
Long Island City, It became known
last night, almost have finished
building an entirely new face on a
patient. They have been at work
on the task since May last, and they
hope In several more months to send
their patient Into the world a fair
ly good-looking man. They expect
to have the patient in such condition
that, despite a terrible accident he
suffered, he may mingle with his
fellow men feeling that he looks like
other mortals and is not an object
to make even his friends Bhrink
from sight of him.
The man who Is getting a new
face after almost having lost one Is
iimothy Martin of No. 40 Willow
street, Corona, Long Island. Martin
was hurt when employed by the
Ferguson Construction Company In
the Sunnyslde yards of the Pennsyl
vanla Railroad. He fell,, face down
ward into cog wheels, and before
tho machinery could be stopped his
face practically waB ground off
His mouth and nose were gone and
tho muscles of his face were cut so
badly he could not eat or talk. Ho
was taken to tho hospital in what
was thought to be a dying condition
Martin did not die. Instead, ho
displayed remarkable vitality and
gained in strength so fast tho sur
geons were presented with a new
problem. The question "was how
tho wounds should be treated, and
whether the face should he porinlt
ted to heal and he almost shapeless,
Dr. John A. Bodlne, Dr. Frank C
Smith, Dr. T. T. Daly and Michael
McMahon of the hospital held a con
BUltatlon. They decided to do their
best to make a new face for Martin
The first step was to mako a new
mouth and to build muscles around
It so that Martin could learn again
to talk and eat. Gradually the new
mouth was shaped, the surgeons add-
ing muscles taken from other parts
of tho body and knitting them to
the muscles of the face.
Martin got finally so he could eat
with ease and talk almost as well
as before the accident. Skin was
grafted to the mouth and the cheeks
with such deftness that the lower
part of the face, it is said, Is almost
tho same as that of an ordinary
man.

an Increase of $0.00 a dozen on

serving notice on the owners that
they would expect a reply uy aionuay

work Monday morning they found
the building all locked up. The em
ployees of the factory had been
making good time ana getting gouu
money, and It is rumored that the
present dissatisfaction Is due to the
efforts of Organizer Luckock.
It is said that T. B. Clark & Co.
have sold the plant to tho Paupack

son assigned for the shut down. The
Power Company has been negotiat

Andy Toth Is 52; he looks 70. He
was sentenced to tho pneltentlary for
life back In 1802 as the man who had
killed a mill hand named Qulnn by
striking him in tho back with a pick.
A fellow-countryman named Steve
Toth confessed at his home In Hun
gary two months ago that he had
killed Qulnn and that Andy Toth had
been pointed out to the Coroner's
Jury by mistake. Governor Tenor
acted at once, granting a pardon.
"I never saw the man 1 am sup
posed to have killed," said Andy
Toth, who wept during most of his
ride downtown. "I do not expect
any money from tho State. The
State could not help It that I was
convicted. It was not their fault.
Mr. Carnegie might help me some,
though. I worked tho best year of
my life In his mill, and It was in his
mill that Qujnn was killed. If I
could see Mr. Carnegie I would ask
him for a little farm where I could
go with my wife and end my days."
"Do you feel angry toward Peter
Mullen, who Identified you as the
murderer?"
"No, I do not. There Is One above
us who sees that justice Is done."
Toth fondled his rosary beads.
"These kept me from going in
sane," ho said. "I prayed every day
to God and tho Blessed Virgin to
mako the truth known."
Mrs. Toth returned to her Tiome In
Hungary years ago broken hearted.
The sons wanted to send for her, but
the old man said no,, he ' would go
back to the fatherland, too.
