Incubatinn Chickens.

AnCuDatEnE htCkcHSs
Il wonder if neighbor X. is baking
eggs this year, as he did last" said
one man to another, as they met on
the public highway one afternoon. Il
suppose you know about his incubator
experience. He invested in one that
held about six hundred eggs, filled the
trays with what he confidently hoped
would prove to be broilers and roasters
of the most delicious description. After
watching the thermometer with the ut
most care for five or six days he got
a little tired of it, as he seems to tire
Of everything, and, cOnsoling himself
with the reflection that the incubator
would probably get along all right, he
went out driving and stayed away for
several hours. When he returned the
heat had run up to a cooking point,
and most of the poor little possibilities
were beautifully cooked and done. And
the most astonishing part of the en-
tire performance was that he treated
the accident more like huge joke than
anything else. Three times last spring
he filled that incubator, and each time
the heat ran up until almost all OF the
eggs were spoiled. Out Of eighteen
hundred eggs there were less than one
hundred chickens that grew to broiler
age. 1t is just such management as
this that gives so many small Industries
a bad reputation. TO succeed requires
vigilance and care."-New York Led

Galveston. Texas, July 16.-Major ~ NJ
Miller. corps of engineers, United Sta'es
army. In charge of the Improvement Of
Galveston harbor. has forwarded MS ah-
nual report to the chief OK engineers ~
Washington. The report was completed
Yesterday and forwarded in last nights
mail.
Under the rules OF the engineers de-
partment officers in the field are not per-
mitted to make public their annual re-
ports. this privilege being reserved TO the
chief of the corps. For that reason 'he
tenor of the report can not be learned al
this end. Hut enough is known TO ihai-
cate that It is most important doeu-
ment In addition TO resume OF int
monthly reports OF the progress OF the
work and the changes IN the channel as
result, the annual report goes into the
commerce of the port and contains in APP
pendix tables which will show remark
able increase in the tonnage entering ana
clearing the Galveston custom house dur
ing the last twelve months. The statistics
are comparative. and indicate growth
| uneaualed possibly by any American port.
| The number and size of vessels are taken
into account. and in this TOO. there Is
large increase.
The actual depth OF water on the bar
| will not show up as well as was hoped,
| and. In fact. will not prove as accurate
| in estimating the practical conditions here
rs IL was hoped it would. This is due to
a lump which formed in the channel Just
| before the annual survey was rade. II
| was to remove this lump that the Com
stock was ordered to work on the Fourth
| OF July. and this order brought about the
| trouble with the Comstock's crow, which
caused that vessel to quit work at criu-
cal time. But the Comstock will probably
be gotten to work again next Monday,
and tho channel will be opened In few
| days SO as TO give full twenty feet aud
over at high tide. This IL ample water
| TO accommodate the largest vessels seek
Ing business at gulf ports. and there VII
ba no detention or delay Of commerce here
next season by reason OF lack of water.
Tho jetties are now to all intents and
purposes completed, and their work o.
securing out the chained from now on
will 90 steadily on.
