very little attention. This is limited,
Ia fact, to the necessary and natural
airing and turning of the eggs morning
and evening, and the occasional filing
of certain water dishes, evaporation
from which keeps the air in suitably
humid condition. This incubator may
be connected with any convenient
source of electricity, a lighting or
power plant, or storage battery. The
heat thus generated is regulated by an
attachment called the ''automat" to
within tenth of a degree, and remains
constant, regardless of such incidental
fluctuations in the force of the current as
may be caused.by varying demands ON
the same supply elsewhere. The in

claimed that he gets chicks from 90
