j i '' ' ' ' IIQ ' 'W''' ' ' ''U Aifflibrf tative Information Coverning the Whole Range of the Subject; and a Tentative Feeding Schedule; That Will Be of Use to Beginners and Experienced Poultry- men There has Just been issued, Jan uary, 1924, Extension Bulletins. 370, of the Oregon Agricultural College, the author being H. E. ' Cosby, extension specialist in poul try husbandry, which is of suffi cient importance, to both begin , ners and experienced poultrymen, to. warrant its publication in full, as follows: Selection and Care 'of Eggs for .... Incubation Dark, clean nests should be pro Tided in the breeding houses in order to reduce to a minimum the number of cracked and dirty eggs. Strong, .fertile eggs are. necessary In hatching strong, vigorous chick It should . not' be , expected that strong, healthy chicks will be hatched from breeding stock . which Is underfed, over fat, of low vitality, or unhealthy, any . more than it should be expected to hatch vigorous chicks from breed ing stock that has been forced for high egg production. Free range Is an important factor in produc ing hatching eggs, but if through necessity the. breeders are con fined to a small area,' it is impera tive that they be given a variety of feeds and" be compelled to exer . else. It is desirable to gather the eggs for hatching purposes two or three times daily to prevent chil ling. Eggs for hatching should be set wben fresh. Though stale eggs frequently will hatch, it is not ad visable to use for hatching eggs that are older than 10 days. The breeding pen .. should be mated about' three weeks before eggs are to be .Incubated. During the first three or' four days it Is not neces sary I to turn eggs intended for hatching, but after that time (hey should be turned dally. Hatching eggs should be placed in a' regu lar market cggasc and the case turned' on a different side daily after the first week. Eggs that are purchased for hatching should rest 24 hours before being incu bated; ; Size,1 shape, and color of eggs are' breeding problems Just as much as the number of eggs pro duced by an individual is a breed ing problem. AH eggs incubated should be uniformly large and of a Color characteristic of the breed. s Each egg' Incubated should weigh , at least "two ounces. More uni formity in eggs selected fdr hatch ing means a more uniform flock and product. ' Incubators and Incubation The various kinds of incubators made are classified into three types: hot waiter, hot air, and mammoth. . Moisture and' non i moisture incubators are made in different styles of hot air and hot water machines. Position, It is advisable to see that , the incubator is perfectly level.' Use a spirit level in several positions' on the incubator to de termine accurately that it is level. Thermbmcters. Each thermo meter' should be tested" occasion ally with an; accurate clinical ther mometer. Put both thermometers la water heated to 100 degrees to 103degrees r. and check the readings. ; . Location., An incubator usually gives better results if operated in a well ventilated cellar. A cellar retains a more uniform tempera ture, has' a more constant degree . of humidity, and Is free from vi brations.' Disinfecting Beforehand after each hatch" it' is , important . that the ' incubator "be thoroughly scrubbed and" disinfected so as to avoid possible danger' of contagi ous diseases. ' A few hours before the eggs are placed in the machine it1 should be sprayed thoroughly with zenolcum, creolin; or 3-per-ceut solution of cresol soap mixed with water.' - Operation. The incubator should bo set up and operated exactly as If this Signature (Ipf jrf is NOT on the Boxit is NOT "There is no other BR0M0 QUININE " Proven Safa for more thti Quarter cf a Century as quick end effective remedy for Cold.

It is not ad visable to disobey the instruc tions in any detail unless suffi cient reason and experience war rant the variation. The lamp. The machine should be operated for three or four days before any eggs are placed in it. The lamp should be furnished with a new wick for every hatch. Clean the wick each morning but do not cut the wick. Run the flame high enough to supply plenty of heat. The flame should je uniform In height every day so that the regulator may work ac curately in maintaining "an even temperature. The lamp should not be left in its position when it is not burning. Turning. The eggs should be turned on the morning of the third day and at least twice each day thereafter until the eggs start to pip. Temperature. The correct tem perature depends upon the posi tion of the thermometer used. The directions' of the manufacturer should be followed carefully be cause different machines vary In temperature required, due to the different position of the thermo meters. The controlling tempera ture should be taken from a stand ing thermometer, the bulb being on a level with the tops of the eggs but not touching them. If the temperature has been regular up to time" of hatching It is usu ally not advisable to change the regulator at that time. Poor hatches and. weak chick9 are more often the'result of too much heat than too little. Moisture. The addition of moisture to the egg chamber de pends largely upon the type of in cubator used, the place In which it is operated, and the climatic conditions. Better results are usually secured when a medium amount of moisture is used. Cooling. There Is a diversity of opinion relative to the necessity of cooling the eggs during. the incu bation period. In machines where egg3 are turned by hand It is gen erally agreed that the eggs get sufficient cooling during the turn ing process. Others advocate that eggs should be cooled once each day after the seventh and up to the nineteenth" day. The length of time the eggs should be cooled de pends upon the temperature of the room and the length of time the eggs have been incubated. Testing. It is advisable to test the eggs twice during the period of incubation. If a good light is available the eggs should be tested on; the seventh and fourteenth days. In the seven-day test separ ate all absolutely clear eggs; these may be used for cooking or for feeding chicks. Hatching time. The eggs usu ally start to pip on the evening of the nineteenth day and the hatch will be completed on the morning of the twenty-first day. A high temperature during the incubation period may hatch the eggs earlier and a low temperature will delay the hatah. Both too early a'nd too late hatches will be made at the expense of the vitality of the chicks. As soon as .the eggs start to pip, the door of the incubator should be darkenedand kept closed until the hatch is completed. When the hatch is over open the venti lator. In case the hatch is a heavy one it is advisable to wedge open the door slightly. The tray or nursery should be kept dark and at a temperature of 98 de grees to 100 degrees V. After the chicks have" been "hardened off" in the incubator for 21 to 36 hours after hatching, they should be placid under the brooder. Transferring chicks to brooder. Chicks should not get chilled in incubator or in moving them to the brooder. Move them in a flat bottom cloth-lined box or basket, or in a commercial baby-chick box. It is. best to move them from the incubator to the brooder at night. Brooder l'lt-iutrutiou The brooder house should be thoroughly disinfected and cleaned a few days before the hatch is expected. The brooder should be set up, cleaned, anduhe regulating device carefully tested. The brooder should be operated two or three days to be certain that it is dependable. The brooder house floor should be covered vith a layer of sand from one-half to one inch deep. Cut straw or alfalfa litter may be scattered over the roosting area if desired. Do not put chicks under any brooder until confident that the brooder is working accurately. There is such a variety of brooders in general use that It is Impossible to give any specific statement relative to the correct temperature. It is advisable to regulate the temperature to the degree designated by the manufac- " read" UKAfNS First 4-8 hourx None Chick food : l')S. cracked wheat 11.8. cracked corn First feed to 7 days I H lbs. pin-head oatmral 1 or Mprl-eut oats 1 lb. fine grit 3 Tiuit-N Daily (10 wimitpK ) . .... . j 4 'hick food 2 or 3 time daily in t litter.

Xneirstive Point T ON WED., w n Court Breaks Friday Prece dent and Also Specifies Time of Day Russell Heckcr, former Albany youth convicted of the slaying of Frank Bowker, Portland musician, on April 16, 1922, appeared be fore Judge J. U. Campbell in Ore gon City Wednesday morning and was re-sentenced to hang. Date of execution was fixed for Wed nesday, May 21, between the hours of 10 o'clock in the morn ing an d4 o'clock in the after noon. In charge of Deputy Sher iff If. H. Hughes of Multnomah county and a traffic officer. Hecker was received at the state prison and placed in cell No. 110, in what i3 termed "murderers' row." He will be removed to a death cell today and placed under a death watch, according to J. W. Lillie, deputy warden. Hecker was apparently undis turbed by his return to the state prison, , where he spent a month in 1922; He was received July 3, 1922, under sentence to bang on September 22. A stay of execu tion was issued August 1 and he was delivered to a Clackamas county sheriff oh August 15 and taken back to Oregon City. Ow ing to the nature of the jail there j he was removed to the Multnomah county jail. The condemned youth talked readily to Deputy Warden Lillie and a newspaperman. He said that he had received every pos bible courtesy that could be per mitted a man in his position, and1 was grateful for the treatment accorded him by his keepers, who, he said, spared the use of hand cuffs whenever circumstances per mitted. Passing of sentence upon Heck er by Judge Campbell broke a precedent of years, for in nearly every instance a man condemned to death upon the gallows meets his fate on a Friday. TUp date, as set, is for a Wednesday. An other unusual feature of the re sentencing was that the hour of execution was practically speci lied. Gen2rally the hour is not designated and the execution takes place about 8:30 o'clock in the morning. Frlcnd3 of Hecker's are work ing for a commutation of his sen tence to life Imprisonment, but because of the stand taken by Governor Pierce in not interfering with the work of the courts, prison officials and others think that the execution will be carried out at the designated time. In setting the date three months in the future. Judge Campbell has placed the condemned youth in a position where it is possible he may escape the gallows, for It is expected an effort to pave the way for the abolition of the death penalty will be placed before the voters of the state at the May primaries. Hecker wss convicted for kill ing Frank Bowker, Portland mu fician, near Oregon City, in Clackamas county, the night of April 16. After killing Ms com panion. Hecker loaded the body into a hop sack and. droe to the Calipoola river, about! a mile south of .'Albany,; damping- the iffl M turer of tbe machine being oper ated. For the first day or two it is advisable to form a circle-around the outer edge of the haver using one-foot fine-mesh chicken wire. Chief Cause at Chick losses Chicks may die as a result of poor care of crks before they are set, unhealthy breeding stock, forcing breeders for heavy egg prodticiion, improper incubation, improper brooding, poor equip ment, uncomfortable quarters, ne glect, improper feeding, and con taminated yards. Giving "dope" to sick and weak ly chicks Is wasted effort. Vigor ia the foundation of the poultry business. Neither sentiment, pity, nor purchase price should prevent the owner from killing every weak deformed, and diseased chick. A Few Feeding Principles A cull may be made of any liick not properly fed and cared for. Chicks must have a good start if they are to develop into vigorous stock. Just before the chick is hatched the yolk of the A TENTATIVE FEEDING SCHEDULE ffgiehUy In JBjMmwnis-lo Xot Oierteei MASH None Question Mash Kqual parts of bran, shorts and corn-meal mixed with egg or rolled oats mixed with 2 Times Paily ( 1 minutes Hour milk or but termilk.

Sheriif Chrisman, of Wasco county, did not come after Abe Evans Wednesday. Evans killed James Doran near The Dalles the night of September 10, 1921. Evans was convicted of the crime and sentenced to hang. A stay of execution was issued pendini? his appeal to the supreme court. He will be taken back to The Dalles to be resentenced. Previous Top Level Was Made Only 24 Hours Be fore Next Record CHICAGO, Feb. 27. Corn ad vanced today to new high price records for the season, although the previous top level was reached only 24 hours before. Persistent commission house buying based to a great extent on the decreas ing movement from rural holders appeared to be chiefly responsible. Closing quotations were firm, 38 l-2 cent to 7-8 cent net higher, with May at S2 cents. Wheat finished 3-S cent to 5-8 cent up. May $1.10 1-4 3-8 to $1.10 3-8 and July $1.10 3-8 tp $1.10 1-2. with oats showing 1-4 cent to 5-8 cent gain and provisions varying from 5 cent decline to a rise of 2 cents. Activity characterized the com market during the entire day, general demand being broader aa well as commission house buying, whereas offerings except to rea lize profits were of a scattered character. Rural dissatisfaction with current prices continued to receive much attention as a bull ish factor. Besides, bull leaders were in clined to emphasizcUhdt nearness or the time when farm deliveries usually halt until after planting. Gossip, too, was dwelt upon that feeding of hogs this season had exceeded last year's total both as to number and weight. The highest closing level for the crop was witnessed in the corn market. What little corn was booked today to arrive here was promptly taken by shippers who paid a premium for some of it. These circumstances were a late bullish influence and so like wise was a report tlyit the farm ers' holding back movement- had i cached Minnesota in addition to states heretofore named. Wheat and oats sympathized with corn strength. Wheat was likewise affected by a bullish es timate of farm reserves. Lower quotations on hogs tend ed to ease the provision market.

The first requirement of the chiek alter hatching is hca'. ' The chick must be . given a ration, the food elements of which supply heat and cnersy as well as the elements needed for bone and muscle. No grain or-mixture 6f grains supplies the various elements of food necessary for normal chiclt development. The chick grains must be supplemented with muscle-forming foods derived from an animal source, such as milk, egi;s, or meat scraps. Neither the grains nor the ground feeds supply a sufficient amount of phosphoric acid neces sary in building the bones. It is advisable to add 1 per cent or 2 percent of bone-meal to the mash, or provide before them, at all times fine granulated bone in shallow hoppers. Vitamines have been found necessary to growth. These ele ments of growth are chiefly found in milk, eggs, and the leafy parts of plants. OTHKR FACTORS Supply grit and charcoal iu hoppers. Feed green fe-rt once daily.

Stock prices displayed a better tone in today's dull market, bear traders inaugurating an extensive cover ins movement in the lale after noon after an early campaign of short selling had failed to make much headway. Late buying of the steel shares was influenced by the weekly trade reviews which indicated that February bookings equal those of January, the falling off in the east being offset by Hie sustained activity in the west. United States steel common sell ing ex-dividend closed 102 1-4. Copper shares, which turned weak yesterday following the omission of the Omaha dividend nnd which continued reactionary in today's early dealings, steadied later on publication of London cables announcing higher copper metal prices in Great Britain. Baldwin and American can closed at 122 1-2 and 112 1-2 respective ly, each up- about a point, after having sold about two points be low thair final quotations. Oil shares failed to make any appreciable response to reports of further improvement in the sta tistical position of the industry. The restricted trading in these issues was again attributed to the fear of further unfavorable devel opments at the Washington oil inquiry and reports that Senator La Follette shortly would intro duce a measure regulating the industry. Trading in railroad shares was lather sluggish. Call money opened at 4 1-4 per cent and then advanced to 4 1-2 where it closed. The time money and commercial paper markets were quiet with no' change in rates. Extreme weakness of French and Belgian francs, apparently lased on selling influenced by the resignation of the Belgian cabinet on a vote over the econo mic pact with France, was the feature of the foreign exchange market.
