If I should fill an Incubator with egg and at the end of tb first weekUwt about balf of them out, could I till, the space thus made vacant with fresh es and hatch them successfully f G. W. A., G uthri county, Iowa. i ; ; . This question is on that nine oat ol ten beginners with Incubators ark; 'Th tenth tost th matter himself by actual experiment. I am one of these, I could see no good reason why It wss not a good idea and entirely practicable until 1 tried lt.'"TCverytulng work smoothly until the batching begins; then th operator sea his mistake. Repeated experi ment have thoroughly satisfied me that each hatching should be 'placed In th niacnin af on time, and no egg added thereafter even if two-thirds are tested out as Infertile. I will give brief gefieral direction for th guidance of beginners, and will at any time explain more lolly any particular If so desired. Practice with the machine until yoa can ran it steadily day and night with out any change in the temperature of the egg chamber. Yoa should be able to do this in a week. Then pnt in the esga. This will lower the temperature of the egg chamber very much unless th eggs are first warmed. 1 prefer warm ing nicola before putting in. Very early in the morning i tbe best for starting, for th thermometer can be looked Wt at least once oach hour until 10 o'clock the following nifht, If it remains steady. everything is right.-. At tbe end of ten days yoa may test out the infertile egs and pnt In one pan of lukewarm Water lot moisture. At th end of two reeks th beat ot th hatching egg will be such that you must watch closely lest the temperature rise too high. Be sure that it never goe above 103 degrees If there must be a variation, 86 (Wreee is '. far better than 105. If the air in the room Is constantly warm and dry, place a second pan of lukewarm water in the machln at th end of the second week.-. If th room 1 in a' cellar and mohrture how on th window, on pan of water under the eggs is quite sufficient. When the esrxs ben fa to batch don't open the : door for love nor money. Have the ther mometer fastened so tb chicks, cannot knock it over and se that the temper- atur doe not rise above 103. ' Don't re- - move th chicks from the chamber until they bave been hatched at least twentv hours; then quickly place them 'in a brooder heated to 100. When yod buy an incubator se that th.egg tray' fits th chamber, ao that newlv hatched chicks cannot possibly fall over its edges into tne moisture - pans below. -r red ttrna lv, Illinois. ...; ;''. faclfla Coast Hop ttrowors' Association. Tb hop planters of Washington and Oregon are much morn eager over the , convention of bop growers at Sacra mento, which has bsen called for Tues day, January 8, 1805, than are California people ngsgea in ini industry, no- port from Bacraroanto speciUy show that th grower in that vicinity ar very low to wak up to their own interests. Larg dealers like Daniel Flint Of Sacra mento have in past years attempted to organise the hop planters, only to meet witn discouragement. ' now American Agriculturist never lie down in tho trace. Ths harder th load, the more we believe in buckling to and pulling it out of th bole. Wbv all means hope that Mr. Flint, Dr. F.A. Snider and other prominent growers in Sacramento will Join witn james nsrt 01 vnnsio phsr. Wash., in arranging for tbe pro posed convention. We bea thoee who can to communicate with Mr. Fliut and meet at Sacramento January 8 all grow- who can be got toeetlier. 11 the at-' tendance is larg and enthusiastic, an organisation can b perfected' on the pot. If only a few com together, the conference will result in much good. In either event American Agriculturist will feel that it has done its part, and win eontina to do It best for the hop grow ers' interests. They have got to make up their mind, however, that they must tak hold and help themselves, for no on else will. . And now is the time to do it.

A number of preparation bave been used successfully for dehorning calves, but as the ordinary farmer seldom hat these at band, I will describe my method, which 1 not widely known, bat ha proved very satisfactory. Perform the operation before the animal is a week old. Catch th calf and hold f'. head firmly. With a pair of scissors 1 'o th hair from" about the horn, which at this time ha not come through the; skin. Plac on the point of a knife a little past made by mixins concentrated lye and water. Put this on tbe horn and rub in well, taking care not to get it on ths animal's skin. The lve com rile telr kills th horn, but doe not seem to hurt" th calf for more than an hour or two. A scab forms after a few days, and when . this comes off th hair grow over tha spot, completely concealing any scar which may be left, W. 8. King.
