Next she recited the Light Brigade"
i-mpersonating a different character at
each verse. There was the dude, a French
man, a child, Henry Irving and Dewitt
Talmage. Her imitation Of Irving was
grand, her Talmage was fair, and the
others were amusing. She was followed
by the Patti, who sang Weber's Ocean,
Thou Mighty Monster" with Coming
Through the Rye" Tor an encore. Miss
Nina Vilona played as a piano solo,
"~Farentelle," by Nicode. BY far the best
thlng or the evening, n the n which

recited Charlotte Ruse," a humorous
recitation, initiating a child's voice.

Advice to tho Novlce by tho Editor of

Thousands Of downy little chicks aro

not been deposcd her usefulness as u
mother has been materially decreased
by tho Incubator and broodor The old
prejudice against artihcially raised

of intelligent poultrymen have faith in
the machines Of the present day.
Much progress has been made in con-
structing incubatora in tho past decade.
The intricate mechanism of former
hntchers, while apt to inspire the novice
with wonder, II not confidence, has been
replaced by simple devices for regulat-
ing temperature and moisture. The
cost of modern incubators has been less.
ened considerably, and there Is no cx.
cuso nowadays for not operating one Of
tho machines ON the plea Of the hitter
being too expensive. The novice IL
often puzzled what sized incubator to
buy, and either invests in very small
machine, in order TO savo expense, or
purchases mammoth hatcher to get u
farm full of chickens at clip. Expert.
encois costly teacher, Ms the man with
800 or 1000 egg machine is apt to find

Probably the safest rule Is to buy
medium sized incubator Of 100 to 200
egg capacity, and proceed cautiously for
one or two matches before loading tho
machine up to its limit. Once machine
is thorouhly understood there is no
trouble in operating tho larger sizes Of
