the egg when placed in temperature
Of 1OS degrees, the embryo will die be-
fore the chick Is fully formed. AS the
egg grows still older the vitality OF
the germ will so far diminish that 1t
will not start to form at all, the egg
becoming stale and the process OF decay
setting in. An incubator, therefore, can
be run correctly in every particular and
the result be very poor hatch, with
many chicks dead in the shell, simply
because Of weakened germs and stale
eggs, on account of the age Of the eggs
used.
1t Is we'll known that weakly breed
ing stock on either the male or female
side, or both, or breeding stock that ls
over fed or too fat, will produce I'M
perfect fertilized eggs, the germs being
weak. When eggs from such stock are
used, the results will also be CHICKS
dead in the shell at all stages Of deVel-
opment. 1t is the same with the human
family. We find in every neighborhood
consumptive children born to some
parents, while other parents are blessed
with strong, robust, vigorous offspring.
These facts are pretty well understood
in regard to the human family, but Few
incubator operators take them into con-
sideration or attach much Importance
to them in their efforts to hatch large
numbers of chickens artifclally and IN
this way enlarge their profits in rails
ing poultry. In this matter, as in all
others, it is the reasoning, thinking
person who solves the problem first and
achieves success.
The third cause which results In
chicks dying in the shell at different
stages Of development is the one first
named in this article, lack Of sutti'
cient heat to carry on, at a normal rate
the process Of chick development. BY
natures process it requires a given
amount of heat, a given length Of time
to build up the chick in the egg. In
artificial incubation this amount oil
heat and this period Of time should be
initiated as closely as possible.
Another matter that should be men
toned In this connection is that Of ven
tilation. Some claim, among them
Fanny Field, that the chick in the egg
before 1t matches, needs no more ali
than an unborn kitten does. This
theory has been easily refuted by seal
ing up incubators Theoretically tight
and by vanishing eggs that were
placed under hens. In no case where
the air was shut out from the chick II
the egg, did the chick succeed In com
ing into the world alive. The egg itsel
refutes this mo air" theory, for in thu
large end of every egg is good size(
air space. 1t was no doubt placed there
for the use Of the chick after 1t reaches
a period where it begins to breathe
The moment a chick breaks the shell
and before 1t comes out, we find 1
breathing vigorously. It is known tina
the shell of an egg is very porous, thu
allowing fresh air to pass into the al
space quite freely.-Reliable Poultr!

Chlcks Dying in the she'll

In our judgment, three principal
things lead to chicks dying in the shell,
namely-eggs not uniformly fresh, eggs
that are not well fertilized, and lack
OF sufficient heat.
At all times, and under all circum-
stances, the eggs used should be as
fresh as it is possible to have them.
Very early in the season eggs have to
be saved for several days in order to
get enough to fill an incubator, but
fortunately during this cooler period
Of the year, they can be kept in safety
for two or three weeks, and perhaps
longer, providing they are turned often
enough to keep the yolk Of the egg
from settling against the lower side Of
the shell and adhering thereto. As the
season advances and warm weather
comes on, eggs can not safely be kept
that long. It is theoretically and prac-
tlcally true that the germ in an egg,
as soon as the egg is laid, begins to
lose its vitality. At given time this
vitality becomes so far diminished that,
although the chick may start to form in

Carrots vs.. Potatoes for Mich Cows.
w. H. Carpenter, proprietor Of the
Yakima City Cheese factory, said In
the Washington Farmer, the other day;
"There are many who make potatoes
the principal root feed, having an idea,
suppose, that because 1t in
creases somewhat the flow OF
milk, the profit increases ac-
cordingly. But the tester reveals that
the quantity of butter fat in the milk
is not propcrtionately increased; or, in
other words, feeding potatoes Is a po-
lite way Of watering the milk. Pota-
toes contain 80 per cent water, and II
one is selling milk by the quart potatoes
must be just the feed, but when 1t IL
taken to the creamery and its value is
gagged by the tester, the dairyman
finds that he is making a mistake. I
have made practical tests Of both car
rots and potatoes, and l have become
convinced that one ton Of carrots 10
worth more than three Of potatoes. /
am advising farmers who furnish milk
for my factory to put in enough ground
carrots to supply each COW with q
daily ration of from to 10 pounds, ac-
cording to the season and circum-
stances"

Churning in Summer.-The churn-
ing in summer time should always be
done early in the morning so as to get
1t out of the way while 1t is cool. It
is a good plan to start it before break
fast. If one of the men can be spared
from the chores to do this job 1t should
be so arranged, as with most churns
It is pretty heavy work for a woman.
II the churn is not filed too full three
quarters of an hour ought to bring
the butter to granules; then add pint
Of salt to facilitate its separating from

In-breedlng.-There are some poul-
try keepers who inbred their flock
from year to year, and say it is not in
furious. Why should it not be danger
GUS in fowls when it is in the human
race and in stock of all kinds? Why Is
1t that a new breed generally
claims that it is unusually
hard? Is it not from the
fact that new blood has been infused to
make it? Are not new breeds the re.
suits of experiments in crossing? And
is not crossing the uniting of two dis
tinct bloods? All these matters need
serious consideration. And when we
are told by men who have made the
matter a study that in-breeding Is a
constitutional danger, is 1t not time
to be on the lookout? If we breed for
strictly hardy parents, and II we
change blood in the males every year or
two, we can get up a strain Of fowls
that will replace the stock we so often
get from the yards Of the noted fanciers,
We are becoming better acquainted
with this fact each season.-The Inde-
pendent.

Weakening the Swarms.-By instinct
bees store their honey Immediately
above their brood, and never below.
During a good yield they often en-
croach upon the brood space and limit
breeding. This tends to a weakening
of the swarm. If combs are inverted
it places the brood at the top and the
honey at the bottom. On discovering
this the bees will remove the honey
and carry it to the surplus arrangement
in the upper story where 1t is wanted.
Finding the lower part Of a comb
empty the queen will Immediately de-
post eggs in the cells and thus In
crease the brood, and eventually the
stock of bees. This is advantageous In
asmuch as an increase of bees will give
a corresponding increase in honey
gathered.

TRANSPORTED long distances to the best
markets. The starting point in the
industry was when a Danish mer-
chant, about year ago, began expert
menting in this direction by taxing
Danish milk, which is peculiarly dell
cate and rich in flavor, freezing 1t by
the use Of Ice and salt, and sending
1t in barrels, by rail and steamer TO
London. On its arrival the milk proved
to be as sweet and we'll tasting as II
1t had been just drawn from COW IN
the middle of Sweden. The milk was SO
much in demand and proved so prolt-
able an article Of commerce that the ex-
porter Immediately took out patent
on the shipment Of frozen milk from
Sweden and Denmark to London. he
then sold the patent to stock COM
pany with large capital, which on FEB
l last, bought one of the largest SWed-
ish creameries, converted 1t into
factory, and having put in special
freezing apparatus, began on May
the export Of frozen milk in large guam
titles.
When the milk is received from the
farmers, 1t is pasteurized, that Is,
heated to 1877 degrees Fair. and then
Immediately cooled off to about 80 de-
grees Fair, and now the freezing Is
commenced. Half of the milk IL filled
into cans and placed in the freezing ap-
paratus, where it will be thoroughly
frozen in the course Of three hours.
The frozen milk Is then filed into bar"
rels Of pine, the only kind of wood that
can be used. The barrels, however, are
only half filled with this frozen milk,
the balance being filed with the I'M
frozen milk.
This way Of packing has proved to
be the only practical one, as part OF
the milk has to be frozen in order to
keep the whole cold, and part has to
be in flowing state in order to get the
barrels exactly full, which is neces-
sary in order to avoid too much shak-
ing up on the road, by which the cream
would be turned into butter; the float
ing masses Of ice at the same time pre-
vent the unfrozen milk in setting the
cream. Milk which is treated in this
way has proved to keep quite fresh for
&c days. Every barrel holds 1000
pounds Of milk, and twice a week there
will be shipped 50 barrels, making in
all about 100000 pounds of milk week.
The milk is shipped to Newcastle
and from there by rail to large manu-
featuring cities, where it is sold in the
streets or in retail stores. 1t is re-
ported that the patent has been bought
for Ireland also at a cost of over $780,
900, which proves how much the stock
company expects from this new enter
prise.

Dairy writer's frequently caution
against placing butter where 1t will
absorb tho odors or favors from the
decaying vegetables. The worst thing
about this is the need Of it. Butter
will absorb odors, not only from stale
vegetables, but from sound ones, and
they impart to the butter flavor that
destroys or overpowers the true butter
flavor. A case is in mind just now.
The writer was supplying butter to the
former owner of this farm, and one
day planned what was intended for a
pleasant surprise, so, before the cover
was nailed down, some nice apples
with a delicious aroma were placed in
the package, separated from the butter
by a cloth circle and layer Of salt.
The surprise was on the other side.
Word came back that the butter was
fine in looks, grain and everything but
flavor; that was not agreeable.
Now, some butter has an unpleasant
flavor that never was near rosy apple,
and there was possibility that the
cause should be sought elsewhere, but
in due time came later report saying
that the butter was excellent after the
surface layer had been removed.
This suggests another point; Con-
sumers should have suitable place to
keep butter after they get it. If the
surface is all the time exposed to the
odors Of vegetables and kitchen flavors
unclassified, the best Of butter will soon
get off flavor, and the maker will be
under suspicion Of furnishing butter
that will not keep.-Agricultural
Epitomist.

Light Brahmas.-The light Brahma
fowls are practical fowls, and the
Yankee farmer or poultry man stands
by them, because they are fairly good

Brahma hen is a non-layer, and Of no
earthly good but to consume food. If
Brahmas are properly fed and kept at
work, they are among the very best
winter layers; but no breed is so easily
spoiled for that purpose unless 1t be

What Is Cooking Butterqn

One of the laws of Massachusetts reg
ulating the sale of oleomargarine pro-
vides a fine for anyone who sells oleo-
margarine to any person who asks for
butter. Recently an agent Of the dairy
bureau of that state went into a store
in Holyoke and called for butter. For
the purpose of conveying information
to the salesman as to the kind Of butter
which he wanted, he qualified his re-
quest by calling for cooking butter"
The merchant furnished him oleomar-
garine, and was convicted In the dis
trict court. His case was appealed and
tried in the superior court of Hamp-
den county. Judge Hopkins instructed
the jury, says the New England Farmer,
that If they found that cooking but
ter" was an article of commerce, sep
arate and distinct from butter, they
should acquit the defendant. If, how
ever, they found that cooking butter"
was merely kind or variety of butter,
and that oleomargarine therefore was
sold when butter was called for, they
should return a verdict Of guilty. The
jury after struggling with the case all
the afternoon, finally were unable to
agree.

Milk as a Fire Extlngulsher,

A queer claim has been sent to a
number Of the companies having de-
partments in Chicago. A fire broke
out in a creamery in Wisconsin town
near Madison, owned by John L. FL
version. The water supply was soon
exhausted and 1900 gallons Of milk
stored in the building were used to ex-
tinguish the fire. The companies have,
therefore, received a claim from Mr..
Elverson for $64 for damage done to
building and the loss Of 1890 gallons
Of milk. A similar case is reported
from Ste. Victoire, in Canada. The
Rev. Able Noyseux and his parishion-
ers extinguished a fire In a barn by
using milk stored in the creamery. A
fire in Cleveland in February destroyed
the dwelling of William Woodford and
by the use Of 700 gallons Of wine stored
in wine cellar he succeeded in saving
that building. The value Of this wine
was $500, and this has been allowed
him by the insurance companies, which
recently paid their proportion of the
loss. The property was insured for one
third Its value, and the companies
therefore paid in the neighborhood Of
$500 for the wine used in putting out
the fire. All sorts Of liquors have been
used for fighting fires in addition to
water. Recently a fire was extin-
guished in an ink factory by throwing
the contents of several watts of ink on
the burning building. In this case,
however, no insurance was carried and
the owner got no pay for the value Of
the stock destroyed.-Ex.

Early Drones.

After much anxiety and patient study
/ believe have an infallible method Of
getting early drones. Every expert
enced bee keeper knows that the queen,
II allowed to form her brood nest ac-
cording to natures way, will make Il
globe shaped. She will begin In the
center and gradually enlarge It. Now,
my method of getting early drones is
plain and simple. A colony, to raise
drones, should contain about three
pounds Of bees and about five combs
each. One Of these combs should be
sealed full of honey, and one Of the
middle combs should be about half
drone comb. The hive in which these
combs are placed must be contracted
SO the five combs will flt 1t. The queen
is started to laying by the operator I'M
Gaping some Of the honey on the mid
die comb, about the size of the palm Of
your hand is sufficient, and on the two
combs next to the middle one a smaller
space should be uncapped. Care should
be taken not to uncap any of the drone
comb till the queen is getting very
prolific. In starting the brood next the
cluster should not be farther from the
drone comb than one-half an inch.
When the queen fills the uncapped cells
with eggs, the bees will begin to uncap
the honey to make room for the queen.
If she is a good queen she will fill every
empty cell, drone cells not excepted.
There is no need of feeding If the above
plans are strictly followed.-C. B.
