re HON emat.e fairs Profitable, or Will
1t Pay to buy Factory Built Machines?
One reads in the various agricultural
exchanges of the successes made with
homemade incubators, but not often does
the amateur manufacturer OF a machine
air his failures in print. Following is a
communication from q Massachusetts
poulterer to Country Gentleman, who
recounts bis lack of success with an in
scubator constructed with great care and
operated with patient watchfulness. His
machine. like other homemade ones, was
not self regulating-a feature he soon
discovered was highly important. A
hot water tank supplied the heat; below
this tank was placed the egg drawer,
and below this was a drawer containing
water pans for the supply OF moisture.
The machine was made double, with
packing between the two cases. so that
the heat could not readily escape from
the interior. The inner door to the egg
chamber was of double glass, while the
outer was of solid wood with wooden
cloth bearings, where it touched the
casing to insure perfect tightness. A
tested thermometer was used and great
care taken to secure good results
This incubator. was run for nearly
three months and the result was one
miserable little chick. Next ducks eggs
were employed. but the machine yielded
only harvest of rotten eggs, showing
that the germs within them had started
with life, but had either received too
much or too little heat soon after start
ing. Such results do not at all indicate
that the machine was at fault; it might
simply show that it was not properly
operated. So the operator purchased a
self regulating machine which persons
in whose Judgment he had confidence
assured him would do good work. At
the first trial and at a season when the
germs of the eggs are less strong than in
the spring and summer he Matched 113
healthy chicks from 1856 fertile eggs.
The conclusions arrived at, in his own
words, are as follows:
Subsequent matches confirmed me in
the belief that unless one is willing to
put in a large share of his time watch
ing his homemade incubator, and of
actual work in caring for it-drawing
off the water, heating water to take its
place, and in filling up the tank, and in
the various other onerous duties that
proper appliances in factory built ma
chine make simple and easy-he would
better invest little more at the start
and get something quite sure, if oper-
ated with ordinary intelligence, to give
satisfactory results. The loss in time,
eggs, patience and in the value of the
poultry that would be Matched under
better conditions, but which will fail to
be Matched again and again in home
made machine. even when run by an ex-
pert, makes it decidedly improbable to
bother with the homemade article, es-
pecially when the best can be bought at
so low price"
