Artificial Incubation in Egypt.

There seems to be such growing in
terest in artificial incubation, for the
benefit of many readers / will give in full
a letter received last summer from our
representative in Egypt. AS our climate
is similar, not quite SO dry perhaps, but
nzsdoubt the Matching could be carried
on in the same manner here successfully,
providing we had experienced men.
e. ". Amsden Ormond Fla, o. s. A.
Your letter of inquiry, concerning arti-
fetal incubation in Egypt induced by a
published report of mine upon that sub
iect, was sometime ago received. Your
INQUIRIES are answered below in the or
der in which they were presented.
/. No moisture is used in incubators
during the. process, of incubation. It's use
is condemned as destructive of egg vital
ity. The first object is to drive out all
moisture and then to sedulously keep it
out.
2. Temperature in the incubator is
kept two or three degrees above blood
heat, hardly ever above 1902 and never
beyond 1912 The attendant is within
himself as reliable as necessary. The eeggs
are turned four or five times daily,
beginning from the time the eggs are
thoroughly warmed, and continuing un-
til the chicks begin to break the shells.
The infertile eggs are detected while turn
ing the masses during thefirst three days.
8. When the chicks are out of the shells
thew remain in the ovens to be strength
ened. Wet cracked grain is scattered on
the floors for them ais soon as they can
walk They begin to pick at it and soon
eat well. Water is also placed for them
as soon as they are strong. The chicks,
when taken away, are reared by hand. A
woman looks, sometimes, after brood
of $50 or 200 or more. They soon learn
to follow her into the field. l have seen
them thus working for a living. They
know the wOman's s call and abide it. TO
give the chicks to hens would destroy the
economies of the Egyptian system. Some
Egyptian women are worth but little
more than hens. They, too, keep away
the kites and look after the health OF the
broods. There are no artificial brooders
for the young chicks. The incubatory
keeps them warm, and the women, when
they are taken away. attend to their COM
fort in the dwellings,, such as they are.
The homes of the felIahs are dwelling
houses for people, cattle, sheep, goats,
camels, donkeys and fowls, and the brutes
and fowls are morecarefully watched over
than the children.
A. Disease is almost unknown. The
dryness of the climate is the cause of
almost universal health among fowls; at
least, this is my opinion. Mites and lice
are, think, produced mostly by fowls
while setting; and, as fowls are rarely
permitted to perform the process OF incu-
bation, there is a decided exemption in
th s. respect. The growing chicks are
carefully watched, and if parasites ap-
pear, the whole brood may be seen minus
all Feathers except those of head, wings
and tail. have seen the process of de-
nuding being performed. Each chick is
taken and absolutely picked alive.
S. There are no standard fowls, except
q hoovv awkward looking Oame similar.

THE A. & p. STRIKE,
A Big Labor Lay-off at Albuquerque
Tho Strikers Firm.

No live stock nor perishable goods of
any kind has moved over the Atlantic &
Pacific road for forty-eight hours past,
and strike is on that involves the welfare
Of nearly 1000 people.
Two freight conductors were discharged
at Winslow who belong to the Brother
hood Of Railway Conductors. The official
by whom they were discharged is chief
OF the Order Of Railway Conductors, be-
tween which order and the brotherhood
there exists no good feeling. Because Of
the discharge the Brotherhood of Brake
men went out on strike, demanding that
the conductors be restored, there being
an affiliation. between the brotherhoods.
The A. & ?. company, because of this
strike, has discharged its employees in
the Albuquerque shops, numbering about
300 men, and has laid off many workmen
at other points on its line. There is big
revolution on Of some kind in the affairs
OF this road, but what it is can not as yet
be learned.

Poor Condition of Horses.

A poor, unthrifty condition is caused
by Indigestion or non-assimilation OF
the food. In the majority OF cases it
is the latter, as the appetite is raven
Gus and the food seems to be digested.
Sometimes parasites are the direct
moving cause. and worm. in the mites
tines disturb the functions and dc
much mischief. The right treatmen,
should be to alter the condition OF the
organs and tone them up and
strengthen them. For the former q
dose OF sixteen ounces of epson salt
may be given and repeated the second
day afterward if thought necessary;
for the latter give, with moistened cut
hay, twice daily four quarts OF ground
oats, peas, and bran, adding a table
spoonful of the following mixture, viz
Eight ounces ofhyposulphite of soda
two ounces of sulphate OF iron, TIVE
ounces OF gentian root, two ounces o.
caraway seeds, and eight ounces O
charcoal, all finely powdered This
noon feed should be of dry, long. hay
The skin should be thoroughly bu'
gently curried and brushed twice 6
day: much will depend upon this. a
the skin is very active exeretory or
ran and its harshness and tightness in
dictate that it is in bad condition.
