of incubators and breeders in the ROOM
with hundreds of newly Matched chickens
peepihg vociferousiy for their due recog-
milton IN this World of care and trouble A
bright novelty in this room is a group con-
sistlng of stuffed young black bear, and a
baby zebra, also stuffed. The little folks
are specially pleased with the miniature
striped horse and old folks also seem to
get considerable amusement out of the
combination. Hanging from the bears
mouth is neat little sign: when shall
we three meet again?' which, perhaps
&c Dis something to the general pleasure
found In the group.
\ Large Claim.
At end of the room, under a glass
case, is an immense ostrich egg measur-
ing six or seven inches in length and five
or six inches in diameter, and beside it a
tiny white hummng birds egg hardly
thiee-cighths of an inch in length. The
reason for this juXtaposition of eggs so
vastly Unlike in size appears on a pacaru
resting against the larger egg which
states facctiously that a certain incubato
can hatch any egg, from humming bird S
to an OStrichS
There are four or five incubator and
brooder exhibits shown and all are grind
ing out chicks as if by steam power. III
all. there will be from 5000 to 300 chicks
Matched in TIE annex during the week Mr.
George w. Bartlett. who mas charge of
a machine, has made probably the larg-
est ana most successful incubator show
of the week. He SET his machines and
eggs right where they stand three weeks
ago. putting in the eggs so to have 2,U
chicks hatch each day of the show He
has done a little better than this, and feels
justly proud of his success. Both incuba-
tors and broOders have automatic regula-
tors on them, SO the operator can go to
his meals and sleep nights unworried by
the usual cares of the mother hen at such
critical seasons.
