How to Operate an Incubator.

The question of hOWt operate incuba-
tors is occupying the columns of the
poultry journals. Now that the season
for Matching is at hand, the Farm Poul-
try cites several which are most success
full and in every case they have rooms
built on purpose, usually under ground
when the temperature changes very little.
Now we have those conditions. Natur-
ally in Florida the only thing we must
avoid is one story buildings, when the
rays of the midday sun would raise the
temperature beyond whatit ought to be.
] have a basement in my building, and
find it IL very convenient place to operate
my Prairie State. One other thing [ have
observed in favor of hot air machines, is
that in very hOtweather the temperature
can be kept down much easier. The
trouble ] found when operating hot wa
ter machines was the body of hot water
in very warm weather would keep the
temperature too high, with all the ventil-
ators open, and it would often get be-
You'd control when the thermometer was
in the nineties. Hot air mach ines, in my
opinion, will be more successful in Flori-
da than those containing hot water tanks
and boilers. have used several kinds

Poultry Keeper says that recent expert
ments have demonstrated that frequent
turnings of the eggs gave better results.
Always turn them twice and, better, three
times day. 1t also contains an article
on fertilization of eggs from an English
correspondent, from which we will give
extracts in the future. E.w.A.

Bitter Taste to Eggs.

A correspondent from Ocala writes as
follows
IL have some laying hens, and the eggs
are so bitter, in fact taste like they had
quinine in them, that we cannot use
them. Can you give mo any reason for
it? AS we are subscribers to the AGRI-
CULTURIsT will you please answer through
that paper"
If our friend had given us any founda-
ton to reason from-for instance, told
us whether his fowls had free range, or if
confined, or what he fed on, we could
have guessed nearer than we can now.
1t is certain to be in what they eat, for in
no other way can the flavor of the egg
be changed. II fowls are fed fresh fish in
too large quantity the eggs will taste
fshy, unless it is the dessiccated fish
from which the oil is all expressed then
there is no danger of favoring the egg.
Ii his fowls have free range, have no
doubt but what it is the bitter acorn they
eat that flavors the egg; they may find
something else of a bitter nature, but [
know of nothing growing that a fowl will
eat but acorns. If our correspondent will
tell us just how his hens get their living,
if fed what on, we will be obliged; it may
help others with the same difficulty.

rate the neck feathers. Turn the birds
loose in q yard where there is no shade
and the sun will soon dry them off. Now
add two quarts of kerosene to your suds;
first making an emulsion with plenty of
soap, and sprinkle the suds over every
part of the poultry house, floor, roosts,
ceiling, sides, and in fact every place
where louise could hide, and your fowls
will be free of the pests. The roosts
should be we'll saturated with pure kero-
sene. Burn all the material in the nests,
saturate the boxes with the suds, make
new nests and then repeat the process
once month.-Ex.8

Wholesale Lice Killing.

There is one plan of killing lice on
poultry that never fails. Make tub of
strong soapsuds, and use good whale-oil
soap or carbolic acid soap. Select a
warm day, and have your suds warm.
Take each fowl and immense it in the
suds, head and all, but do not stop with
simply dipping the fowl, but rub the suds
well into the feathers. In other words,
give the bird good washing, so that the
suds may reach the skin. Do not be
afraid to dip the head under, and satu-

OLD-TiME CURRENCY.
The Dangers That Beset Business Men
Sixty Years Ago.

A few days ago the Albany Journal
reprinted in fac smile the first page of
The first number of the journal OF
March %, 1880. The post of honor as
containing the most important news OF
that day, was given to table filling
more than a column and half, to be
corrected weekly. In this table was
found information about the bank bills
which person was likely to find among
ais money. One of the prime neces-
stiles of that time was bank note de-
tector and one Of the risks was that a
man might wake up any morning ard
dnd half the bills in his pocket worth
less from the failure of the State banks
that had issued them. Again. bust
ness man coming from another State
0r even from another part of this State,
needed the detector to tell him how much
discount the bills, which were good at
their face value in the place he came
from, were subject to in the town where
ne wanted to use them.

they were from one-fourth to l per

sound banks. The bills of a bank at
Catskill and one at Poughkeepsie are
quoted as worth so cents on dollar,
one at Hudson 40 cents, and one in New
York - cents. The New England bills

ported as broken" Is large, Connecticut
furnishing two, Rhode Island one, Mas
,achusetts four, and Maine five in the
list in the journal. The more distant
the banks that issued the bills the
I larger the discount. Pennsylvania bills
averaged IL per cent discount, Vir-
yinia bills ?, South Carolina and Geor-
gia bills 3. Ohio bills +, Mississippi bills
| 10, and Alabama bills 90. Bills that
we're perfectly good one day might be
worthless the next. These troubles
with the old State bank bills are
worth remembering and worth re-
calling when a proposition is made,
as it has been in Congress this session,
to abolish the prohibitory tax which

Quincy Robson related an incident
OF the early history of the oil regions
recently which may give the children
OF the present generation vague idea
OF the magnitude Of the transactions
which took place when oil was So and
50 barrel, and poor people gained a
competency by scooping it of the
surface of creeks or gathered it from
pools around the tanks which had
overlooked. The story, as told by Mr..
Robson, was as follows:
within a month after Col. Drake
had struck the first petroleum ever
brought to the surface in America by
means of drilling, my father and the
father of my relatives here bought a
tract of land, onprising $50 acres,
adjoining the farm on which the
Drake well was located, for $3.50, 600.
Not long afterward | was sitting in
their office one day. remember it
as distinctly as though it happened
only yesterday-when an agent for
an eastern syndicate walked III and
offered $500, 900 for the $50 acres.
The owners looked at him rather in
credulously for moment, but before

on the table $500, 600 in cash and
drafts, which he offered for deed of
the tract. | was appalled, by the sight
of the pile, but my father and the
father of these gentlemen retired for
consultation, and decided that If the
property was worth $500, 900 it was
worth 81, 600, 600. and the offer was
refused. Their heirs still own the
land, and now it is valued at about
$40, 600. Where they could have got
dollars we could scarcely get nickels.
Thus Won can see what seemingly
fairy stories could be told of those
days. They are almost ineomprehen-
sible to the present generation, but
they were red hot facts And sigh
of regret that the offer had not been
accepted went around the circle

ANCIENT VOTING METHODS.


Thousand Years Ago.
Before the Now York Academy of
Anthropology in University place L.
! Benet, one of the trustees, undertook to
| present the history of voting in the
/ form of a regulation paper. His research,
however, was too comprehensive and
exhaustive for one reading, and he was
compelled, for lack of time, to defer the
presentation of the American branch of
jhe subject. His investigations went back
% the fifth century before Christ, when
he Greeks voted by ballot as the ex-
preston of the individual will. Democ-
'acy was comparatively unknown before
The discovery and use of the ballot. In
