Incubator
MANY ADVANTAGES
OF
Devices Are Necessary for Get
ting Early-Hatched Birds; Ex
periments Made.
By Charlei 8. Brewitcr
Doe the Incubator have a place on
the farm where 100 to ISO hena are
kept? Can the farmer, afford to In
vest In an Incubator and the necessary
brooding equipment to go with It? Such
questions are confronting many farmers
of the country today.
The high prions which have prevailed
for eggs during the present season
should serve to bring to the' attention
of. the farmers the value of having birds
In their flocks which will be well ma
tured and laying during the fall and
winter months when prices ar high
eat. PULLETS AUK IMPOETAXT
Experience has shown that early
hatched pullets must be depended upon
for winter egg production. The average
hen will not lay . much before January
or February. By early-hatched pullets
we mean that Leghorns should be
hatched , between April 1 and 15, not
later 'than the first of May, and that
Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes, Reds and
the heavier breeds should be hatched a
month, earlier, or about the middle of
March. This means that for the heavier
breeds such as are found in the average
farm flock, the egga'must be set during
the latter part of February and that the
Clocks must be mated for about two
weeks before that.
In a flock of 100 fowls, as found on
the average farm, there should be ap
proximately 60 pullets and 40 breeding
hens The pullets should be replaced
each year, as we must depend upon pul
let for the winter eggs. To raise 60
pullets It will be necessary to set 300
eggs, or SO settings of 15 eggs each. The
average farmer is unable to get 20 hens
to set during the latter part of Febru
ary or early In March.
INCUBATOR NEEDED
Therefore, In order to get early
hatched pullets, an incubator is nec
essary. The early-hatched birds will
grow more rapidly and mature more
quickly and economically than the late
hatched ones. The early-hatched cock
' erels may be put on the market when
the price is highest. In experiments car
ried on at Purdue university during the
past four years, April hatched Leghorn
cockerels and March hatched White
'Rock cockerels were sold at a profit,
while May hatched broilers were sold
at a loss.
An Incubator has some decided ad
vantages. It Is fully as reliable as the
hen if properly managed and is more
sanitary, there being less danger from
lice and mites. It Is convenient, re
quiring less labor to care for 300 eggs
In the Incubator than for the same
number under 20 setting hens. It is al
ways ready for work, and the time of
hatching can be regulated by the own
er so that he will be able to give the
chicks proper attention when they ar
rive without Interfering with other
work.
ECONOMY IS FACTOR
It is economical, aluo, for the cost of
operation is less than the cost of feed
for the corresponding number of hens,
and in addition the egg production of
the hens during the period when they
would have been setting Is saved. The
hen's time Is valuable and may be em-

DEMOCRACY OF AMERICAN ORIGIN

Democracy is indigenous to America.
Otle of the earliest recorded experi
ments of representative government by
the people was undertaken on the West
em continent ; and it was a success.
These statements are not made with
reference to the establishment of the
United States of America as a free and
Independent nation, but to events that
ante-dated by nearly a century the birth
Of Christ.
At that time North America was in
habited by two great peoples, the Ne
phltes and the Lamanites, each named
after an early loader, and both origin
ally of on family stork. Except for
brief periods of comparative peace the
two nations lived in a state of hostility
due to Lamanlte aggression.
The Nephites were progressive, cult
ured, and of peaceful desires, while the
Lamanites became degenerate, dark
skinned and barbarous. Eventually the
Nephlto nation was destroyed by Its
savage foes ; the Lamanites persisted and
re represented today by their direct de
scendants, the American Indians.
For five centuries prior to the events
now under consideration each naUdn
had been governed by a succession of
kings. The Lamanlte rulers exercised
autocratic sway and relied upon physical
force for? their power. Some of the Ne
phlto monarchs were almost as bad,
though many were notably considerate
and just.
.The last of the Nephlte sovereigns
was Moslah ; he died 91 B. C. after a
righteous reign of 33 years. Ktng in
name, he called his people brethren and
counted himself their trusted and pre
siding servant.
A short time before his death Mo
slah called for an expression from his
people as to whom they desired to suc
oaed him on the throne. There was a
united answer; the people wanted the
king's son, to whom it was said, "the
kingdom doth rightly belong." But
Aaron, the people's choice, declined the
crown, as did his brothers in turn ; for
all 'these sons of Mosiah- were devoted
to the preaching of the Gospel and es
teemed the labors of the ministry above
the royal estate.
Mosiah seized the opportunity occa
sioned by the people's loyalty and unity
to- awaken them to the fact that, the
powers of government were Inherent
within themselves, and to urge them to
exercise their sovereign rights and as
sume the privileges and responsibilities
of self-rule. He recommended that they
abolish the monarchy and establish a
republic, according to "the votes of the
people."'
la a stirring proclamation he set forth
the potential-dangers of kingly rule and
admonished the nation to guard its 11b
' erty as a sacred possession and to del
egate the governing power to officers
of its own, choosing, whom he called
judges, who should be elected by pop
ular vote, and who could be Impeached

Eggs saved for incuhatien should be turned daily. This home-nude de
vice makes turning of a, large number but a moment's work
ployed more profitably than in hatch
ing:. There are many makes of Incubators
and many of them are good. The hot
air and hot water machines will hatch
equally well, quality of construction be
ing equal. A medium sised machine of
150 to 400 egg capacity Is best suited
for the average farm conditions. In
buying an Incubator, look for good qual
ity of materials and workmanship. A
well made wooden case is usually bet
ter than the cheap metal covered one.
With either type, the walls of the ma
chine should be well Insulated.
FIEK DANGER AVOIDED
The heater should be on one end of
the machine rather than underneath it,
as there is less danger of fire and It
Is more, convenient to handle. There
should be a simple but strong arrange
ment for holding the lamp in place,
which will easily get out of order. The
lamp bowl should be large enough to
contain a supply of oil sufficient to run
the machine for 36 hours. The legs
should be substantial and well fastened
to the body to prevent Jar or vibration
that might injure the hatch. Don't
buy a cheap machine; that is, one thtU
Is cheaply constructed. The well made
machine .t a higher price will be the
cheapest in the end. as It will last longer
and give better results. In selecting an
Incubator, It is sometimes a good thing
to select the machine which Is proving
the most successful In your locality. It
is reasonable to suppose that such a
machine will be well adapted to your
local conditions. -

worthy. King Mosiah summarised In
a masterly way the fundamentals of true
democracy. After reciting the wrongs
the people had suffered under mon
archical oppression, he continued In this
wise :
"Therefore choose you by the voice of
this people, judges, that ye may be
judged according to the laws which have
been given you by our fathere, which
are correct, and which were given them
by the hand of the Lord.
"Now it Is not common that the voice
of the people desireth anything contrary
to that which is right; but it is com
mon for the lesser part of the people
to desire that which Is not right ; there
fore this shall ye observe, and make It
jonr law to do your basinets by the
voire of the people.
"And If the time comes that the voice
of the people doU choose inl-uity, then
is the time that the judgments of God
will come upon you, yea, then Is the
time he will visit you with great de
struction even as he has hitherto visited
this land.
"And now if ye have Judges, and they
do not judge you according to the law
which has been given, ye can cause that
they may be judged of a higher Judge.
"If your higher judges do not judge
righteous Judgments, ye Bhall cause
that a small number of your lower
Judges should be gathered together, and
they shall judge your higher Judges, ac
cording to the voice of the people.
"And I command you to do these
things in the fear of the Lord: andtl
command you to do these things, and
that ye have no king
"And now I desire that this inequality
should be no more in this land, espe
cially among this my people; but I de
sire that this land be a land of liberty,
and every man may enjoy his rights
and privileges alike." (Book of Mor
mon, Mosiah 29). r
The affairs of government were to be
the cqneern of the whole commonwealth ;
for, as the king proclaimed iwlth con
vincing plainness "the burden shoald
eome spoa all the people, that every
man might bear his part." It is grati
fying to know that the Nephites adopted
the proposition, straightway set about
creating election districts, and at the ap
pointed time chose by vote the first elec
tive rulers of the new Republic ,
Prom American soil, which of all was
first to be prepared for the cultivation
of representative goveranieat by the
people, the seed of democracy shall be
carried to every other land, until all
men are free. In accordance with Divine
intent.

RABBITS
There is a demand for rabbit meat far
beyond the average belief, but one of
the great drawbacks that prevails is
the unreliable source of supply. This
may seem a broad statement, but the ma
jority of breeders have so far made lit
tle or no effort to hold to any standard
or system in the marketing of their ani
mals. The hotel must have a regular source
of supply for rabbit meat for 'each- day
or each week, just the same as for
other meats. For this trade the rabbits
must be of uniform size and quality and
be delivered In an attractive form. The
price will then find Its level by thade
mand that is established for the fin
ished product placed before the con
sumer. In Europe the rabbit is a staple food.
There marketing of the younger stock
Is not encouraged, but the larger rab
bits are sold and cut up into halves and
quarters, the largest cuts getting the
higher prices.
The demand in this country seems to
be for the young and not too heavy
animals sold entire.

BOXED APPLE INDUSTRY
DF PACIFIC NORTHWEST
IS SICK, SAYS SAPIRO
Californian Shows How Fruit
Growers Are Benefited by Co
operative Marketing.
That the boxed apple Industry of the
Pacific Northwest, which controls abqut
80 per cent of the boxed apples of the
country was "sick" was the statement
rnadtf by Aaron Sapiro of San Francisco
before a large delegation o' Oregon,
Washington and Idaho apple growers,
who sell under the "Skookum" brand,
and who met for their annual conven
tion in Seattle this week.
Sapiro, who is regarded as the coast's
leading authority on cooperative mar
keting organizations of producers,
pointed out how the California growers
througii mutual effort had organized
their Industries into high grade mer
chandising associations. He urged the
apple growers of the Northwest to look
at their marketing problem without
considering state lines but always re
membering that each district was en
titled to recognition as the point of or
igin of any particular variety and grade
of apple. The principal subject under
discussion by Sapiro was the organiza
tion of a real non-profit cooperative or
ganization of Northwest apple growers
controlling their own selling organiza
tion and operating cold storage and
warehouse properties in desirable dis
trict. "Unless you can provide some form
of storage which will enable you to carry
your fruit into the higher priced season
so as Vo merchandise your apples Instead
of continuinffTo dump 30,000 car loads
of apples on the market within a few
weeks the boxed apple game this year is
going to be a mighty sick business,"
said Sapiro.
He illustrated the wonderful success
of the California fruit growers' associa
tions who have developed sales organ
izations which they own and control. In
groups of producers Sapiro said that
there are always men who can be de
veloped into executive officials of abil
ity and pointed to H. G. Coykendall of
the prune and apricot association, and
Wylle M. Oiffin of the Associated Raisin
company as types of men which farm-

For the greatest amount of floor

equal, the nearer square a house is the
less lumber It will take, according to
poultry specialists of the United States

is sometimes out of the question to build
a large house square. A building should
not be so wide that the sun cannot reach
the back of the house, otherwise It will
be damp. Fourteen feet is a convenient
width. Build the house as low as pos
