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.

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.

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!

, LEARNING TO SWIM.
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
