The Incubator should ho ordered six
or eight weeks before It Is expected to
start the lamp going, Bald a success­
ful jioultryninn. Many delay ordering
until a week or two before the machine
Is wanted, and are usually disappoint­
ed beenuae It does not nrrlve nt the
expected time. During the rush sea­
son. Incubntor manufacturers some­
times hnve more thnn they can prompt­
ly nttend to, and some delay In fill­
ing nrdern Is unavoidable. The safe
way la to order In advance of the
breeding season. Another advantage
In ordering la thnt one can take plenty
o f time to adjust and regulate the
mnehlne, nnd to study the directions
for Its proper operation.
The kind or type of Incubator to buy
will often puzzle the beginner. Two
systems o f healing nre employed In the
manufacture of Incubator»—the hot­
air system nnd the hot-water system.
In general, It may he stated that either
aystem of heating Is satisfactory. I
hnve three hot-water machines and
one hot-air mnehlne. and find thnt one
system of hentlng Is not superior to
the other. Each system hns Its nd-
vantages, and It may nlso be stated
that each hns Its disadvantages.
In
case the lamp, for nny reason, goes
out a hot-water machine would hold
Its heat much longer than would n
hot-air machine, but with proper at­
tention the lamp will not go out. I
have had a fairly good hatch In a hot-
water machine after the lamp waa out
for ten hours. The hot weter In the
pipe» cools »lowly and the heat 1» re­
tained In the machine. In a hot-air
machine, the egg* would likely chill
were the machine kept without heat
for a few hours. The disadvantage of
a hot-water machine I» that there la
always the danger of the tank or pipes
springing a leak and thus raining the
egga In the machine. The danger from
this source 1» not great, however, If
the boiler la kept full of water, and the
machine leveled before starting.

Ilia attitude waa eaay, almple, not aaaumlng, carrying not the leant

not been naked, and took Mint place which to hlmnclf aeemed lit for
him.
Ilia figure waa ttint of n young man. Ilia akin, amootb and hard-
drawn waa Mint of a young man. Hut Ida eyea. clear, deep, and
bright, hoapoke the man who luid thought and who held Idmaetf com­
petent to think.
Ilia face, natonlahlngly high bred arid lofty, attracted the attention
o f everyone at the grout table. Men turned one to another, whisper-
In g :
"H e look a like my grandfather I" exclaimed one.
“ I waa about to any the name o f my own," waa the reply. They
both had conned to laugh and Jent.
It aeemed to othera that the eyea of the young man himself turned
now and again to the plcturea flint hung upon the wall— pictures of
men of another generation. Hut Ida own eyes panned on und beyond
the wall, an though tie looked Into another day.
"W ho la he?" naked one man of another, now. Thut question
went all about the bonrd. He aeemed not arrogant, wave ua youth
and ability always are arrogant. Hut what did he here?
Strangely men began to look Into the grout mirrors at each side
o f the banquet table. Yet more strangely the eyes of the young man
also turned to them, wunheriy, queatlonlngly, as though he auw
himself,
lie did not apeak ut first, had not been asked to speak. None
the less It seemed that when Anally he raised Ids hand to commund
attention all were waiting for his voice, lie raised Ids glass, empty.
Hut. as though It had been full of some strong wine, something wus
giving Ida voice carry and clearness, his bruin directness and com­
posure.
“ I hnve come from another country," said he, simply. "Once I
lived at ease na you do. I played with life. I valued not the great
thlnga o f life.
I amused myself.
I cared for the small things
about me.
" I sought riches because some men called 'supermen' by their
fellows had attained riches nnd were praised for them. I was con­
cerned with the thlnga material o f life, the things perishable, that Is
to say, things having to do with luxury and ease. This made ray
horlson. I knew no better.
"Now, I come from a far country, my brothers, while yet It Is
very near. I am a new man, but I am old. I am a stranger but I am
your brother. It Is ns though I were your son. yet also your father
and your grandfather, though I nm young. I>o you read this riddle?
" I come to take you Into a new country. I shall apeak to you so

" I nm the new man In the world. I came to your table— and I
came from your table. I come to your fam ily— and I came of your
family. What was my country was yours or Is yours now. As my
vision Is. so yours must be. An my history has been so must yours
be—you must put away the little things, you must see the truth nnd
meet It ns I have done.
"You ask. What is my country? You ask. Where is the country
to which I summon you? Look about you. That country Is America!
" I myself am born out of It— I atn the new man—the American I"
They looked—and he was gone.
