Incubators.

Cons iderable interest has been excl
ted in the last two or three years on the
subject of incubators, and those inter.
ested have been feeling around in the
dark, as is were, in trying to strike
some method by which chickens could
be Matched surely and without trouble.
This is somewhat like the "royal road
to wealth." The royal road to wealth
has not been as yet found without en-
countering some trouble on the road.
The same is true in regard to Matching
chickens. Even if the most perfect
incubator was procured, it will be
found necessary to attend to i every
day, and what with turning of eggs
and renewing of oil and keeping an
even temperature, the incubators have
not made so many friends as was at
first thought they would.
The best incubator we ever found
was the hen herself. She has been
bred to the business, and after she
once makes up her mind to 60 at it she
has no other business on hand. The
difficulty generally experienced is that
two hens or more wish to 60 into the
same business on the same spot, and in
their struggle for the mastery the
stock in trade is generally ruined. II
is, to say the least, annoying after two
hens have squandered three weeks, tc
see them bring off one chicken between
them. The question then arises, how
can you prevent more than one her

it has been a very orderly and mod

The way the average postmaster

The country postmaster-and his

little consequence whether the
party to whom the paper is address
ed gets it or not. Heguages others
by himself. and, from that stand
ard it is very natural to suppose
that people don't care 10 get news

mated, but that is only talk. The

that talk that way do it for pur-
pose, and the papers not in the

knowing just why.
fit had been known positively
that Mr.. Tilden would accept the
nomination the probabilities are
that he would have been fiersely
opposed. He represents "the great
fraud of 1876" and beyond that he
has given utterance to nothing that
can antagonize anyone. He is ac-
cepted by the high tariff and the
no tariff men and all the grades Of
men in between those two extremes.
This unanimous support in itself
ia suspicious and indicates a posi-
