Mrs. T.. Bray, Fort Mill, S. Glow many
of the sisters have tried running an incuba-
tor! How | would like to hear from every
one Of you that have had any experience In
this line. | want to TELL you about one l have
had ut work for almost year; and every
tlhe get II hatch / am more and more de-
lighted with it and the more l learn about
the business the more | am pleased with 1t.
have never failed to get 70 per cent of all
fertile eggs placed in it. 1t only cost So and
L can put in 100 eggs at one setting. | have
two incubatGrS at work now and in a few
days Will have all my fall chickens Matched
out. SO much has been said about raising
poultry. and all have had experience
enough 10 know something of The failures
and dsappointm"nts connected with it when
trying to raise chickens the old way, but if
any of you want to engage in and make the
business Of poultry raising Il success just
get good reliable incubator and go to work.
1t is enough to make any lover Of chicken
raising go wild to see the little fellows pop
ping out Of the eggs at Matching time at the
rate of ten or twenty Il minute. | am sue
ceeding nicely in raising my chicks, but have
had some trouble with hard craw when the
little fellows get about two weeks old. Can
any of the sisters give me cure for this
trouble? Sometimes | have thought this was
caused by overlooking. | have been feeding
with chopped onions and wheat the last
hatch and they seem 10 be thriving nicely.
If this letter escapes the waste basket / Will
write again and tell the sisters some more
about my hatclers.

1 am all by myself this morning and there
are two things puzzing me, the world and
the weather. Everything is all right around
the house. my conscience Is at peace. and my
body is resting. All things have combined to
make me content. and yet, like my first
grandmother, I nm curious to know some
things | do not Now. there's the world She
puts her prizes beyond the reach Of the hum

poverty she dampens his glowing lights; II
