INCUBAToRS.

From the bulletin on poultry recent
ly issued by the Department of Agri-
culture has already been published
several >elections. Below is another
from the section on incubators:
1t is advisable, before investing ex-
tensively in any make of incubator, to
thoroughly understand the machine.
1t good results are obtained, then adj
ditional machines of the same kind
shonld be purchased. Failures are
recorded simply because the individual
fails to thoroughly understand the me-
chine he is trying to operate, or, in
other words, fails to learn how to op-
crate that particular machine to the
best advantage. A successful poultry.
man must necessarily pay close atten-
tion to petty details Not only is this
necessary i'll caring for little chickens
and mature fowls, but also in the care
and management of incubators and
brooders. The whole business is one
of details. While lncubators may
vary considerably one from another,
yet there are certain points to which
all should conform. Some of these
points are sum med up in the following:
l. They should be well made OF we'll
seasoned lumber. The efforts of manu-
facturers to meet q popular demand
for cheap machines has placed on the
market 1ncuba tors that are not only
cheaply made, but made of cheap and
not thoroughly seasoned material.
=. The incubator should be easy OF
operation. All its adjustments should
be easily maze and SO arranged that
the more delicate machinery is in
plain view OF the operator. The ma.
chine should be automatic in opera
tion. When supplied with the neces-
sary heat it should control perfectly
within certain limits the temperature
of the egg chamber. This result is
accomplished i'll various ways. The
regulating force, whatever it may be,
should be placed within the egg cham
Der SO that the regulator may vary as
the temperature in the egg chamber
varies, irrespective of changes of tenn.
perature of the room in which tho in
cubator is placed. The regulator must
be sensitive.
The change of temperature, which
is necessary for the complete working
of the regulator ought not to be more
than one degree; that is ono degree
above or.below the desired tempera-
ture. 1t is better if the range of tenn.
perature eau be reduced to one.half
of one degree, thus making total
variation OF one degree instead of two
degrees. 1t should not be inferred
that much wider variation than this
will not give excellent results under
otherwise favorable conditions, but,
other things being equal, those ma
chimes which are most nearly automatic
are to be preferred.
In addition to the foregoing requis.
ties convenient appliance for turn.
ing the eggs, positive in it's action,
should accompany each incub ntor.
This may be an extra tray that is to
be placed bottom side up over the tray
of eggs and beld firmly in this posi-
tion while both trays are turned, thus
completely transferring the eggs from
one tray to another without jar. The
different machines have very different
appliances for accomplishing this re-
suit.

The Very Earliest C0ins

No one knows exactly when or
where the original coin was "struck"
or what metal was used. Certain pas
sages in Homer would lead to the in.
ference that brass was coined as early
as the year 14lS b. c.. tradition af-
firms that the Chinese had bronze
coins as early as the year 112O B. Q.
But Herodotus, the acknowledged
'Father of History" is of the opinion
that the Lydians "invented" coins
some time during the ninth century
B. G. One OF the Oldest coins, now
known as gold daric, was coined by
the Persians during the reign OF
Darius. On one side of this coin il q
bust OF Darius, and on the other side
figure of kneeling arches.

wINTE RING HORSES.

1t is now the critical season in giving
the domestic animals proper attention.
The horse Mt work usually has IL fair
share OF care, but those not in use are
too frequently neglected.
The horse aU work is not always
properly shod. 1t is often required
to go at rapid gait, or to draw heavy
loads over the frozen or icy ground
when the shoes are not property sharp.
ened. In fact, too often the poor
creature is expected to do full service
without shoes ut all. 1t is out of the
question in winter to expect the ami.
nal to do fair work without having
front shoes at least. IL is unfortunate,
often, that the horse does not have
a man who understands his work to
adjust the shoes. Setting and fitting
properly is u real art which far too
few ever master. 1t is very desirable
to avoid contracting the hoof in the
least. Great care should be exercised
that the nails are driven towards the
edge of the hoof, rather than in the
inward direction. The latter plan of
mailing often causes great suffering us
well as serious permanent injury.
Feeding the horses in moderate
weather demands that they should have
good variety and foods that have q
cooling tendency upon tho digestive
apparatus are to be sought. With
right management, the perishable
foods i'll mild weather and, to some
extent, il the coldest weather, can be
given to the stock with great advan-
tage to the animals themselves, as well
as in the interest of furnishing q cheap
ration.
The horse is considered the cheapest
animal on the farm at present, and
there is too much of the feeling that
anything is good enough for it. They
who exercise foresight must recognize
that the brood mares, rs we'll rs tho
youngsters, should constitute rs good
permanent investment as anything
else in the way of live stock. II only
the owner is careful to preserve strong
and healthful animals, it is only u
brief time until they are sure to bring
satisfactory returns.
If an animal is worth feeding
through the winter, it pays to feed il
well. BY this we do not mean that
high feeding should be practiced. The
creatures that are in poor flesh. to
start in with, should have that flesh
steadily increased, and the stock that
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1897-03-04

is in good condition should by all
means be maintained in that con-
dition, if not slightly improved.
Plenty of good sound food, and
plenty of exercise in the open air,
usually brings the horses through un-
til Che middle of February in good,
thrifty condition. From that time on
it is good policy to begin gradually
hardening the teams for spring work.
1t is well, at this time as rule, to in.
crease the ration of grain. Care must
be employed continually in feeding
the damaged oats, and combination
of this with dusty provender must DE
guarded against.
The young colt must not be for.
gotten, and especially its extra care is
to be remembered. The best and
soundest food properly ground or cut
for it, as well as exercise in the sun
shine and open air, is in order. Pro-
vide shelter every night from the wind,
and if possible, from the clouds. The
colts that are past eight months old
should have as much handling in the
way of haltering and leading as we'll
as harnessing, hitchlng and driving,
as the spare time will allow. 1t pays,
in fact, to spare on an average to each
colt o half day per month during
January, February and March. The
colt cannot learn everything it should
know in two weeks previous to becom.
