The reports Of experiments By Mad
anne Dieudonne upon the effect Of cold
upon the incubation Of eggs. published
BY the French Minister Of Agrlculture.
Is reported az considerable length. Il
was found that fowls hatch larger and
stronger during the months Of Feb
r1ary. March and April than during
warm months Of June. July and Aug
uaL Il was also found that eggs from
hens which were Al liberty. Matched
better than those which were confined.
In test made with the incubator n was
found that egg which were repeatedly
warmed and cooled Matched much bet
ter than those which were kept At a
warm temperature all the time. In
one experiment the eggs were cooled
BY exposing them 10 the air for one
and one-half hours daily during the
whole period Of incubation. This
treatment retarded the period Of ineu-
baton three days The eggs became
quite cold and u required about twelve
hours TO bring them up TO 100 degrees
Fahrenheit. the temperature Of ineu-
baton. In this experiment thirteen OUT
OF sixteen eggs Matched strong. vigor.
Gus chickens The incubator had pre-.
viously been used with unsatisfactorl
resultA From the second experiment
Il was inferred that the gradual hcAtinI
Of the eggs was a. essential as tn
process OF cooling. twenty-five esq
which had been laid on very warn
days were placed In the incubator ans
exposed 10 the air a. IN the preceding
case. The temperature vas such thai
the eggs were warmed up 70 i0i de-
grees IN two or three hourS This TEN
perature was maintained until th'
brood was haiehed. The chickens
pierced the shell. but they were %
weak that they died before leaving N,
eggs. Il was found that the eggs upon
which a fowl is sitting are not all ol
the same temperature. those on a,
outside being cooler than the ones n
the center.

We had gone up In the great bay near
the head OF the lake. when some boys
and dogs. rummaging around In the
woods along the shore. started a deer

when he did turn there was a ring OF
