A TANK INCUBATOR.
New Way of Hatching Chicks for the
Philadelphia Market.

New Way OF Hatching Chicks for the
| Philadelphia Market.
Not many spring chickens are being
raised by incubators in Berks County,
Pennsylvania, which clings to the old
fashioned way. But Mr.. Hoch. of Obey,
made a success in that line and intro
duced some new ideas. He makes his
own incubators. He runs two of them
this spring, the one having a capacity
of $50 eggs and the other 100. His in
cubators are heated with hot water,
the tank being Immediately over the
top of the drawer containing the eggs.
Mr.. Hoch claims that this is far better
and safer than the oil-lamp heat. Each
day, two or three times, he taps off a
quantity of water and refills the tank
with boiling water. enough to keep the
temperature in the egg drawer at 103
degrees. When the eggs have been in
the incubator five or six days they are
tested, and Mr.. Hoch says he can then
tell whether they are fertile or not.
| The sterile eggs are thus removed and
the good ones placed back in the incu-
bator. At the end of the time required
by Matching hen-three weeks-the
drawer is full of chicks, nearly every
egg producing one.
but where do you get a mother
from to take care of the chickens?"
asked an Eagle representative.
Mr.. Hoch replied that he had a
building for this purpose called a
Ibrooder-house. The building is forty
six feet long by ten wide and ten feet
high. The side toward the east slants
to within two feet of the ground, and
is supplied with windows which, by
means of Irvine and pulley on the in
side, are raised and lowered at will.
Thirty-six feet OF the house are divided
into pens four feet wide, and in these
the chicks are placed as soon as
Matched. The floor of the house is
double. with four inches of space be-
tween the two. In the space is coil
of inch pipe and the building is heated
by the hot-water system. The water
is heated in the ten-foot room at one
end of the building. Instead of using
a stove, as others do, to heat the water,
Mr.. Hoch merely walled in a coil of
five one-inch pipes one foot long, with
fireplace beneath. In each four-foot
pen a small tin pipe protrudes about
two inches above the floor. Over this
is placed an ordinary stool with four
legs about three inches long. Around
the outside of the stool is tackled a
piece of calico, which hangs nearly to
the floor. Under this stool the chicks
gather and are us comfortable as under
the wings of hen and out of danger

AN AMERICAN FAULT.

The Common Disregard of Certain De-
cencies of Behavior in Public.
Anybody who is familiar with the
appearance of any public place after it
has been in an undisturbed possession
of American citizens for few hours
will be driven to the conclusion that
the absolute criminality of throwing
refuse or debris, and particularly
pieces Of newspaper, olghtto be taught
in our schools. No branch of popular
education is so much neglected, in both
homes and schools, as instruction in the
value of neatness out of doors, and the
effect on our streets, squares and rail-
road stations is in some cases deplora-
BILE. The recklessness with which
people scatter pieces of newspaper and
other paper wherever they happen to
be when they have done reading it,
helps give our streets and sidewalks
and railroad stations an appearance of
dirt and disorder the like of which can
be seen in no other civilized country.

spread disease. 1t is displayed with
regard to nearly every kind of refuse.
That any one need care how other peo-
pie are affected by the sight of his
leavings or eXcretiOns, is bit of
morality which very few of our youths
are ever formally taught. lake the
condition of our elevated railroad
stairways after the active traffic of the
day begins. What decent New Yorker
is not ashamed of the spectacle they
present to trangers-covered with dis
gushing excretions which one would
say any decent man, if he will not use
a pocket-handkerchief, would get rid
of before he entered on a narrow
gangway which has to be used by
women and children. The effrontery
with which this nuisance is sometimes
excused as being all along of the cele-
brated american catarrh," is height
ened by the fact that the American
women are just as much afflicted by
catarrh as the men, but manage to keep
the more repulsive consequences of it
to themselves, as the men could very
we'll do if they were taught more
thoroughly, in childhood, to consider
the effect on others of their personal
behavior. In any improvements made
in our school curriculum, in fact, the
teaching OF the minor morals ought to
have large space. How to avoid
being disagreeable to your fellow-men
and women in your dress, speech and
mode of satisfying your personal needs
is something which our women all
study and try to learn, and mostly do
learn; but the boys, except in homes
of more than usual refinement, hear

physically the finest man 1 ever saw.
Tall, straight, muscular, broad-chested
and gaunt-waisted, he was one of the
class which Trelawney describes as
natures noblemen. against whom the
plague in the East never made an
attack. Had he lived in the time of
Homer he would have robbed Achilles
of his sobriquet of swift-footed, for he
would run faster than white man.
farther than an Indian, and in both
showed that man was organized to be
master of the beast. To elucidate the
last clause of the preceding paragraph
requires the recital of an anecdote.
Captain Harvey carefully attended to
his company's garden, which on the
frontier was necessary for the comfort
as we'll as the health of the men. The
beds had been carefully spaded and
roped, when one of the numerous dogs,
a half-grown mongrel hound, came
walking across the carefully prepared
ground, and the Captain, storming at
him in tones and language not suited
to the pulpit, frightened the dog so
that instead of going out by the walk
he ran across the bed toward gap in
the fence. The Captain started in full
run after the dog, which had to jump
on the fence and then off it-fatal dis
parity to the dog!-for the Captain
cleared the fence at bound, which
brought him jump nearer to the dog.
and then he began an even run up the
long slope which led to the fort. before
reaching which Harvey mastered the
dog and Rover suffered in proportion

Harvey was also bold horseman and
fond of the chase, good boatman and
skillful in the use of a spear as a
fisherman. Neither drinking nor gam
ing, he was clear Of those rocks and
shoals of life in n frontier garrison,
and is no doubt indebted to this alb
stinence for much of the vigor he has
possessed to his present. advanced age"

ooh, l see!" cried Harry. flushing up
a trihe. you mean that l must use
my reasoning powers to find out what
is wrong with the mixture. Let me
see," he mused-"oh, l have it! The
camphor has been exposed to the air so

Perhaps" said Uncle Dave. ''Now
if you mix in some more brains you
will be able to make it work. AS a
general thing, Harry, the brain is the
missing ingredient when failure is
recorded. The boy who never uses his
brains is the boy who can't make a
boat, a sled or any useful object. He
goes along all right until he comes to
something not fully explained, because
the writer's space is limited or else he
thinks it is too simple to waste words
on. Instead of using his brains the
boy sits down and writes to know how
he can make this, that or the other, or
else gives up in despair. "
"Like me with the electrical machine
last winter" said Harry. regretfully.
Exactly; and like many other boys
who never see their way out of di-

Such boys will never make inventors,

of invention"
Don't you believe boy ought to
ever ask advice?' asked Harry.
'Not until he has exhausted all his
