saw the hen on the ground with two
young chicks. A ',chirp, 'chirp, Z from

5Incubating ostrich Eggs.

The ostrich egg is very delicate and
will not keep.its vitality for more than
thirty days. Now, as the laying lasts a
couple of months it is evident that halt
of it becomes worthless for setting and
can serve no purpose except as curiosities
/ in bazaars. 1t is, therefore, the business
of man to provide against this improvi-
dent character Of nature and utilize what
is wasted by that force. No occasion to
go into detail about incubators; the
| principle is we'll known Practically
| they are padded, boxes, each holding 10
to 20 eggs and heated BY hot water,
which can have its temperature readily
under control. The eggs are taken away,
as laid, one always being left in the nest.
Each one is d numbered and dated, and
| list made out with it's weight and de-
scription of the parents. They are kept
in dry room till the necessary number
/ is obtained, when they are placed in the
box and the heat is applied. The tenn
perature is forty degrees centigrade at
first, 80 degrees at the end of eighteen
days, and then $3.50 degrees to the finish.
During the whole process each egg must,
be turned upside down every day
at regular time. This is absolutely
| necessary. About the fifteenth day
The eggs are examined to see which are
| impregnated and which not. This is
done with box containing lamp and
| a reflector, III front of which is an open
| ing which fits an egg supported on the
outside by q little shelf. If the egg is,
clear it viii not hatch; if opaque, except
at the larger end, where the air chamber
! is, it goes back to the incubator. Some
times the egg is rotten, in which case
the gas formed within forces the liquid
| through the shell and turns it yellow.
After 40 days the greatest attention must
be paid day and night to listen for the
noise Of the chick. On the forty third
/ day small hole should be in the shell
near the air chamber, which has already
been marked with pencil. Next day
/ this hole is enlarged so as better to notice
any movement inside When this is
seen the shell must be broken, the mem
brane torn away, and the chick freed,
taking care to use the greatest deIicacy
in every movement. The chick is
| wrapped up and kept warm for "a hours,
| when it has a very small lot of finely
| chopped greenstuf with few bread
crumbs. On the third day it gets a little
milk; on the sixth aElittle grain with
! the vegetables and little water to drink.
