The requirements of the law are practically the same regarding residence, improvements and cultivation. These lands are going fast; if you want a homestead close to the railroad, you should act now.

Ithqs been found by repeated exper iments that eggs hatched with nu l:s cubntor do riot produce chicks with ns much vitality as those hatched under hens. This is not very noticeable the first season, but if continued year after year will seriously impair the vitality of the flock. It Is n general practice among succersful poitltrymeu to set a few ef the best eggs under hens and use the chickens thus ob tained to replenish the breeding flock. Value cf a Breeding Pen. The plan of having a breeding pen from which to select eggs for hat"hlng Is a very good one. In this 'pen a doz en or thirteen of the best hens in the flock are kept. If trap nest records j have lieen kept this will determine to I a large extent whb h hens arc to be nut into the breeding pen. With the points. For a breeding pen of thirteen l!ot:s one male Is all that is necessary, and you only need to see the crops grown bv the already located Mu 11 sl"'-,:(, 1,0 ,lie lost tUat can 1,0 there, to be convinced.

'5 njthem in vigorous condition. If possi ble the breeding pen should be large enough so as to include n little green feed, such as clover or rnpe. If this cannot be done a little forage cut and put In the pen every day will be rel ished. The sitting liens should have a small house or compartment to them selves. This will avoid the great an noyance of having nests broken np and fresh eggs laid in with those al most ready to hatch. This house should be provided with charcoal, grit nnd oyster shells. A dust bath In which the liens can roll will help to keep them free from lice. Oats, wheat and some sort of green food make n good ration. When very expensive j eggs are set it Is best to keep each j hen In n compartment by herself, ns I there will be less risk of having tho test broken up. Soon after the chick ! ens are batched they can be marked ' by punching n hole through the web J cf the too. so that they can.be picked . on: from the rest of the flock In the fail. I Selecting the Incubitor. Although Incubators are not well j adapted t' raising chickens fur the i breeding flock, they nro indispensable In tn:::ih i-.r;er cunib'rs thau with I Iicim. The '.y lien ..n be brokru u;i and v.-'.;! -:i V" i bt.vlng iiuai'i. Net the lea-: cincng th' a.lx antum of ; the lu-ubat.'i- is tin" fact that the i chjj-ks wiil he five t';vi!i 11 e when 1 hatched. ! .There are ;v.o general types of Inen- lUors. the Im air and the ht watt r I machines. The heat In the Imt air I macfilne W furulnbed by currents t warm air which circulate around the ' egg chain! i ;::id In the !i '! wcter i:ia ; chine by li"t water olrctilating tlirciigh metal piies. The hot air machine Is simpler and generally gives better sat isfaction The two nmst important points to consider In buying an incubator are the lamp nnd the regulator, since upon the efficiency of these depends the maintenance of a constant tempera ture In the egg chandler. The lamp and chimney should lie of heavy metal. The reservoir should hold enough oil for twenty eight to thirty hours' run. The burner should be of brass, with a cotton wlcl; which fits snugly and yet works easily. It Is Important to use the highest grade of oil that can be obtained, a' 1 steady heat cannot be maintained with cheap oil. The fnnctlnii of the regulator Is to raise or lower n valve over the lamp, thus lessening or increasing the amount of hot air that goes Into the machine. Of nil the many kinds of regulators none works more satisfactorily than the double disk type. The disks should be four or five Inches across, if smaller they are not sensitive enough. The regulator should be placed toward the back part of the egg chamber and high enough so that It will be well up out of the way. Avoid incubators that have the regulator lever on top of the machine. Such a lever is always In the way and Is liable to lie bent r displaced. A machine that lias the lever at the end or under a false top Is niuch more satisfactory. There Is notnlng In the way on top, and It can be used as n table for testing, turn lng and cooling eggs. The liody ef the incubator should lie made of well fitted hard wiod. with three walls and two dead air spaces, so as to be as little affected by the outside temperature as possible. The 1 .. 1. 1.1 I 1 I ..A I it-n piiuinii ce smiiix nun iiniiiy ni- tached.. The doors should be of double glass. The egg trays should slide easily, nnd there should bo at least three nnd a half Inches clearance be tween the eggs and the fop of the chamber. The nursery below the trays should be at least four Inches deep. This lower epace is needed for the newly hatched chicks. This nursery Is sometimes made to slide out like a drawer. This Is n great convenience in removing the chickens. A small hole covered with a remova ble slide will provide all the ventila tion needed in addition to that obtain ed when the doors are open for turn ing tho eggs. A wet sponge kept un der the egg trays will usually furnls'i sufficient; moisture. The amount of tnoisturo.needed can be determined by the size of the air cell in the big end of the egg. If this gets to be more than one-fifth the size of the egg more moisture should be supplied. Handling ths Incubator. There Is no better place for the In cubator thau a clean, dry cellar. It should be' run empty for at least n day before the eggs are put In. so ns to get the flame and regulator adjust ed. The flame should be clean and bright and the regulator set so ns to maintain a constant temperature of 100 F. It takes a day or two to get the eggs warmed np after they are put In. H.v the third day the thermometer should be up to HKl nnd should be kept there tho rest of the time. The eggs should be tested (he third day and infected or dead ones taken out. The eggs should be turned every morning until the nineteenth day. This can be done by rolling them over with the hand or placing another tray over them and turning them completely over. After turning tliey should be left out ten or fifteen minutes to cool. After the nine- THIS MAXY USn& OF 1A11ZR In the home cannot be estimated.
