facture large quantity of milk; they
therefore must not be too poor. The
only food the lamb can take for a few
weeks Is milk and to provide good
supply OF this the ewes must be fed with
suitable food for Its production AS

full precautions are taken she suffers

Until the lambs can feed on their own
account the mothers should convert into
milk or partially digest, a pound weight
of strong corn per day. besides making

communication from Massachusetts,
poulterer To Country Gentleman, who
recounts his lack Of success with an in
eubator constructed with great care and
operated with patient watchfulness. His
machine, like other homemade ones, was
not SELF reSulating--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 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 ono

were employed. but the machine yielded
only harvest of rotten eggs, showing
that the germs within them had started
with life, bnt had either received too
much or too little heat soon after start

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

germs OF the eggs are less strong than In

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
