T THE MORNING ASTOI? IAN, ASTORIA. OREGON. SATURDAY, AUGUST 1 POULTRY NOTES fclXMEMTZ JUYIRSSE PA.. G KOEErSPOKCENtX SOLICITED INCUBATOR CHAT. A poor Incubator la a temper tester. It beats a baby for keeping a man up nights. Say your prayers often If you've bought a bargain. Some Incu tutors Improve on acquaintance; oth ers are advertised Improvements that do not improve a man's morals. Rut beg pardon! Of course you have se-' cored a first class machine and set It with good eggs in a well aired room where the temperature stands at C3 degrees. Now for a short chat The hot air machine warms up soon er and fluctuates less than the warm water incubator. Same with brooders. Then there's no water tank to fill, melt when forgotten nor leak. Before you run for tne tinner put a nanurw or chop In the tank to stop the leak. They use it in radiators. It's good plug. If you happen to have a poor regulator you can keep the thermometer at 103 degrees by simply increasing or lower ing the Came, but don't forget that a Came in a newly filled lamp will rise of itself, so be watchful. When the eggs warm up, remember that their animal beat Increases, and as the chick develops there is more heat un til the last week, especially in warm weather, the heat from the growing iihlck will some days' run the incu bator. Running a hatcher with damper up is oil waste. A smoking lamp Is dangerous. If not a charred wick, a poorly fitting chimney, bad oil. dirty burner or-a chimney shoved too tight ly into the flue, the flue itself may be clogged with soot or stopped with some obstacle. If you cannot prevent It, throw the machine out To sell a secondhand fire batcher Is a capital crime. Don't go crazy if the heat oc casionally runs above 103 degrees. About the best temperature is 102 de frees to 103 degrees the first week, 103 degrees the remainder. When the ther mometer hangs up it should be a de gree higher. We have seen the heat at 115 degrees and a good hatch followed, but to remain at that point long means baked eggs. The hatching temperature Is between 100 degrees and 105 degrees. When the heat is higher than 105 de grees, take out the eggs, cool and roll them and adjust the flame. A good j incubator Is not a trickster, and we ; never have such things to worry us. j In cooling eggs the time of turning j Is sufficient for the first week, ten min utes the second and fifteen minutes morning and night of the third. Mark the eggs with an X. Turn the trays end for end the second day. Begin ning with the third day, turn the eggs ialf over morning and evening until they begin to pip, about the eighteenth day. They will hatch too soon if you run your machine too high or drag along if you run a low heat. Neither is good. The latter will stick chicks in the shell. You will forget some times. We left a tray of eggs cool two hours last summer, yet they hatch ed. We left an Incubator door open till the eggs got cold while the chicks were picking the shell. Got a good hatch. Wonders will never cease even If we are dumb and have good forget ters. So don't cry If something like that happens and throw the hatch out. You can tell by a test when the eggs get hot If they are pretty well devel-1 oped. They'll wiggle in the shell. Don't let some of these Incubator In-1 structlons scare you. The more rank j some machines are the more particu-1 lar and extensive the code of rules to j run them by and the more loopholes and technicalities for escaping a re fund when the smash comes. Watch that thermometer. If the sil ver thread is not solid, but keeps di viding, throw it out. An air space In that thread may make a little speck, at the end you overlook. You may run one point at 103 degrees, while the little speck is the real end and roast ing your chicks at 110. Some sprinkle the eggs with warm water the eighteenth day. We use the machine with the big wet 'sand tray, and it does dandy. If you have a ma chine like ours, you don't have to rock the incubator cradle all night DON'TS. Better be late In hatching than never get a chick. Don't forget that a guinea is an Irre pressible bawk alarm. Keep one and be convinced. Don't expect every egg to hatch a chick and every setting to bring. six prize birds. Greedy! Don't set heavy hens on thin shelled eggs. Croquet balls are more suitable. Bet medium sized clucks. Don't act the bull in the china shop among your China geese. It will Jar the egg production. Cochin-Chinas know better. Don't forget to set your best cluck on those turkey eggs. You want some thing bon ton to raise birds that bring bon ton profits. Don't imagine that the earliest pul lets are the best winter layers. Solo mon sa.va. "There Is a time for every - Mia tMnir Wider tho sua'." That menus pul lets. Losborns hatched before April molt before December aud don't lay winter at nil. THE SIMPLE LIFE. The simple Ufa I love to ting Beciiuie It's musleal WHh bleating lambs and mooing And barnyard JlnK-a-ltng. W wrar a bright red sunbonnet And loo8?y fitting prints: We never dreaa for minuet Nor put on beauty tints. We have our cow and chickens, too, A hog, a mule, a churn; We never could return to you In city heat to burn. . We've done for aye with city strife. Give us our hops and chickens. We're badly stuck on simple life; For fun It beats the dickens. C. M. B. THE WYANDOTTES. This breed was at first commonly called "American Sebrlghts," which was changed to "Wyandotte" after the Indians of that name. Historians have failed to trace the time and clrcuuv stances of its origin, but all Malm it to be an American bird with Dark Bran ma and Hamburg blood in its veins. Today the man who originates a breed erects a marble statue to himself if no one else will. The varieties are Sll ver, Golden, Silver Penciled, Partridge Columbian. Black, Buff aud White. STANDARD WEIGHTS. Cock 8mba, Hen t lbs. Cockerel .... TH lbs. Fullet tftlbs. The White Dotte Is the most popular and is a bird of beautiful curves. The original of this picture Is a feathered aristocrat, now kingly! What vigor XDKUj brad fob bbxedkbs. rWhlte Wyandotte from life, What a proud pedigreed prince! Then think of the big brown eggs from his harem and the fluffy, bright eyed chicks, instructed in wormology and scratching stunts by his snow white cackling queens! Then smack your Hps as you smell the savory odor of a bast ed Wyandotte! Round, yellow, velvety. smooth as silk, it is the unsurpass ed epicurean bird. In dining on Dottes hold yourself in check at least till tin blessing is asked. In breeding avoid single combs, or hybrids, by using broad combed males. For brasslness and cream In White Wyandottes use no-corn cream cure. FEATHERS AND EGGSHELLS Cleanliness is the keyhole to success In the poultry business, but some chicken raisers, like the man late home from lodge, can't find It "Money makes the. mare go," but It doesn't always make the hen lay. The millionaires going Into the business don't always strike Standard oil. If you knew It all, you would be drinking government cream on an ex perlment station, while your typewriter would be working overtime on chicken reports from the cyclopedia. Continual feeding of one kind of grain often brings Indigestion, loss of appetite and bowel troubles. If this is your feeding method and you are mak lng a profit you deserve a monument The farmers are buying bone cutters, and the butchers have such a rush for bones that they( are always engaged. Once more the American hen registers by knocking out Mr. Rags Bones and Gum Boots. Have you reached the broiler stage? Don't jump from the frying pan Into the broiler. Raising cockerels In zero weather to sell at Alaska prices Isn't what It's cocked up to be. Beware of a broiler expiosion! Now that the hatching season is here I get out your signs of the zodiac so you I get your hen set in the right sign, liet I ter look for signs of lice and set your ; hens right and give them better atten ! tion. You'll get more chicks. It has often been asked why the New ' York poultrymen keep mostly White j Leghorns. Simply because the New J York epicures demand large white j eggs, Bostonlans possess a predilec 1 tlon for brown eggs. Why? . Oh. j Browning, of course! j As the chicks dry off under the hen re j move them in a soft lined basket to a chair beside the kitchen stove. Have a I soft woolen cloth hanging down in the ! basket to warm their backs, but ar i range so they cannot get on top of the cloth, as they may smother each other.1 By this" plan the old hen cannot tram ple them in the nest. When spring is In full bloom you may expect to hear that the American hen has invaded Panama. We are told that the chickens on the Isthmus are n sorry set. When a newly wedded cou ple, bound for the big ditch, found eggs were 10 cents apiece, they sim ply sent an order north for an incu bator and 100 Rock eggs. Good luck!

The Fat Man Who Wat a Model of Patience and Persevrno. Persistence In undertaking Is a laud able virtue, but It can be a bit over done soiiii'timos, as In a case described by Y. L. Molloy In "Our Autumn Holi day on French Rivers." Mr. Molloy and his friends, longing for a good dive, went to a swimming school on an Island in the Seine. They donned their rented costumes and were preparing for the plunge when a man with ropes came along and insisted on tying them about their waists. It was according to police regulations, and, although they made an indignant protest, they were obliged to submit While we were dressing, says Mr. Molloy, we asked the two swimming masters for an extra towel. "Pardon," they replied, "we must at- l?nd to our monsieur." Then we saw that there bad come upon the platform a short and absurd ly fat man dressed in bathing costume, swimming saudala and oiled cap. 'Let's see. him go In," said we. "What a splash he'll make!" The swimming masters received the new arrival at the middle of the plat form. There he balanced himself on his stomach on a wooden stump two feet high. The masters seized him by his hands and feet and with slow and deliberate movements made him strike out with the action of swimming. They kept this up for a quarter of an hour, and the perspiration rolled off him in great drops. "He'll be awfully hot to go Into the water after that." said I. But he did not go into the water. Tho swimming .lesson over, be moved to ward the dressing room, saving: "I have done better today." "Ah, yes," answered one of the mas ters. "Your progress Is admirable." The fat man beamed with complai sance and went In to dress. I called the swimming masters aside. "Does 'our monsieur practice often like thf.t? lie must have great perse verance." "Perseverance! He has worked iiKu this for five years, aud he has never been In the water!" There is nothing else "just as good" as Kemp's Balsam, the best cough cure.g .. tue umer Kmu cu jum as mu7n l uia union remeuv.
