MYSTIC The opening of the Mystic Community house Monday evening Was a very su cessful affair, and the building was crowded throughout the evening, The building presented a hospitable appear- ance as one approached, with the rooms all lighted and the open door, and once inside, thero were evidences everywhere of painstaking efforts to have things at- tractive and well arranged.

Birds known as fiycatchers, warblers, swallows and chimney-swifts live prac. tically entirelv on insects, and blackbirds, orioles and some hawks depend on them for a major part of their Jliving. The sparrow-hawk is in quest of grasshop- pers, crickets and beetles. Hawks and owls devote their attention Hawk seek their prey between daylight and dark, and owls hunt in the early evening and largely to small redents. morning hours or by moonlight.

Wheére only a few small machines are used they are usually loeated In a room or the cellar exercised A special cellar or incubator house should be provided if the incubator of the house with due care agalnst fire. haye a well-ventilated room not subject to If built above ground the walls should be double wide variations of temperature. ang the entire building well insulated. Good results in hatching are secured in incubator cellars and in incubator reoms entirely above ground level, but the eellar is more commonly used. Ineubators may be operated in . bulldings with single walls, especially in regions which have a mild climate, but ‘a well-insulated room is preferable, - The incubator room or cellar should be large enough te allow the attendant te work around the machines conveniently. Many incubatar cellars are provided with some system of ventilation in addition to the windows. Thix is not always neces- sary, however. The -chief point *is to keep the air in the room fresh. Muslin screens on theswindows provide good ven- tilation without draft and at the same time keep the sun form shining on the machines, Many incubator cellars have cement floors, which are easler than dirt floors te keep clean and neat. INSECT FESTS. ‘There are, generally speaking, twe types of insect pests. Ome bites its food and chews it like animals. These are of- ten classified with reference to poisoning as “biting insects,” They may be poison- ed. Arsenate of lead, paris green and other poisons will kill most of these pests. Such are leaf-eating beeties, Colorado po- tato beetles, ete. The other type is vall- ed “sucking insects,” because they -have no well-developed mouth parts, but suck the juices of the plants by means of a proboscis. It is useless to poison these pests. They must be kilied by what is called contact poisens, or substances that sfop their breathing or kill them by con- tact. Among these pests are plant lice, bugs, scale insects, slugs, etc. FERTILIZEB FOR GARDENS. The value of commercial fertilizer has not been fully regjized by farmerg in making home gardens. It is true that Market gardeners use commereial fertili- ser and could not stay in business with- out it. They use barnyard manure, but reinforce it and supplement it with com. merical fertilizer, For the heme vegeta- ble garden, even where barngard manure is abundant, commercial plant food may be used profitably. AGRICULTURAL PUTTING A HEAD ON LETTUCE Why won't that blanked lettuce head? This is & common question among gardeners of little experience and Probably there are more failures in growing really good, solid headed let- tuce than in any other vegetable. Just When it looks a bit heady, too often it starts spinning up to seed. Other times it looks globular enough, but there isn't any solidity te it First of all, the goll. It must be Don't let the seedlings stand crowd- e|ed in the seed box too long. When the second pair of leaves are well de- veloped transplant it to an inch apart r|at least, an inch and half would be better. Then when it = ready to plant, and it has from four to six fair seed leaves, snip them off about half their length. CARE OF THE SETTING HEN. ‘When several! hens are setting in the same room they should be sepa- rated by partitions and should be kept on the nests and allowed to come oft only once each day o recelve feed and water. A hen that does no voluntarily come off the nest should be taken oft. As & rulé hens will re- turn to their nests before there is any danger of the eggs chilling, but if they do not go back in half an hour they should be put back. Examine and clean the nests care- fully, removing and broken eggs and ‘washing those that are soiled. Nest- ing material soiled by broken egzs should be replaced with clean straw, hay or chaff. Nests containing broken eggs soon become infested with mites and lice, which will cause the hens to become uneasy and leave the nest. This is likely to be the cause of the loss of valuable settings of eggs. When a nest is infested with mites the hen, if fastened in, will often be found standing over rather than sit- ting on the eggs. Eggs laid late in winter or early in 9| spring are frequently infertile, and for that reason’ it is advisable to set sev- eral hens at the same time.
