any incubator has to be figured out III
fact, that is the only secret IN saccessiul
incubation. 1t depends where machine u
located, and what the .atmospneric
changes are in the surrounding country;
we are of the opinion we nave soiVeu
this one point to our entire satlsIdcIiol
We use the dry and wet pulD une -
mometers to determine the amount OF
moisture the egg needs after the l4tn Gay
We have been running the Reilapie LOT LOT
q year past and our matches from lerllle
eggs have averaged from II to 81 per cent
A person must not condemn the machine
Tor not bringing out every egg we once
tested out machine that had only one
fertile egg in it, Some eggs nave very
weak germs, they seldom hatch, if they
do the chick is no good. Our per centdSe
of loss with the brooderS has not aver
aged per cent. While out of $50 chicks
s we ne raised With hens last spThg ios'
We have ten acres devoted exclusively
to chickens and ducks.
The ways that we think an incubator
are superior to the hen are as follows:
First it would take 20 hens to do the
work that one incubator of the 200 egg
size will do. 1t takes more time TO attend
the hens than it does the incubator; sec,
ord, an incubator properly handed Will
beat a hen at her own game. Third, 1t
would take an hour to feed 20 hens with
their broods. With the brooder IL would
not take 20 minutes. Fourth. there are no
lice to contend with when brought Iorth
from an incubator. Fifth, they are much
tanner from constant handling and Will
bear confinement better.
We would advise farmers and their
wives to raise their broodS with the in
cubator. And right from the nrSt day OF
starting up their machine, keep record
of each days temperature, in fact every
time they go to the machine put down
what they do; if the hatch does not come
off right, avoid these errors on the next
hatch. Be sure to keep a record OF every
thing and follow out the makers book OF
instructions till you find out how the ma
chine will work in the locality that it may
be placed. Do not allow it to be in any
draft. cellar is the best place.
We can't say we would advise all
farmers to go into the business on large
scale 1t would certainly soon glut the
market. and no one could be able to
make anything. But we would advise
S..em to give half of the attention to
their chickens as they do to other stock.
First try il on a small scale and see how
they are adapted to the work and If they
find it to their liking then branch out
larger, if they find it congenial to them
We feel sure if farmer will give the in
cubator the same amount of attention
when the hatch comes off that he would
to a COW that was about to calf, that he
will make more money out of the chicks
than he can with the calf.
Do not buy an incubator with the idea
that all 2 person has to do is to put in
eggs and at the end of q days take out
chicks; they will be fooled if they do

Thayer,s Berry Bulletin for March.

In preparing ground for the garden,
carefully consider the condition of the
! soil and the needs of the plant. Fertility
is plant food and the soil must contain
nitrogen, potash, phosphate, humus and
moisture in liberal quantities to fully
supply the needs of the plant. Good
barnyard manure worked into the soil
| and wood ashes applied as top dressing
will supply these needs.
Not only must the soil contain these
| food clements but they must be thor
oughly mixed and Incorporated in the
soil to become available as plant food.
Therefore let the ground be heavily ma
nu-ed and every square inch. for foot
in depth well pulverized.
The surface should be smooth and
| even and if the soil is very loose and light
roll the ground to make it firm and COM
pact.
Moisture is the chief element in both
plant and fruit and is hardest to supply
| at the time and in the manner needed.
| a deep, rich, pulverlZed soil retains
spring and summer rain and acts as
reservoir for this surplus moisture, until
required by the plant in forming new
roots leaves and fruits.
Feed and cultivate if you would have
| large products. plant is a huge feeder
! ard q hard drinker. Every little fine
rootlet is a constant sucker, severely tax
| ing even the best prepared soil for It's
sustenance, while in poorly prepared soil
| it literally starves to death. 1t has an
| animal nature, requiring food and drink
! as we do 1t is almost human in its APP
probation of good care or neglect. Treat
! plants and animals humanely and they
will humanize you.

Is Earning a RusinessP

Lyle Merton in the Ohio Farm News:
That this question is answered mega

How to Make Monev.

Prof Jordan. directing the Geneva On.
V experiment station, in speaking be-
fore the recent meeting of the New York
Horticultural society said:
The station was often asked to direct
farmers and fruit growers how to make
money. This was something he could not
succeed in. In order to do this it would
be necessary that he should begin with
future generations, and breed up a race
of money makers. Money making is
somewhat an inherited tendency. 1t is q
science. 1t is only about one man in ten
thousand who is an expert money maker.
Some men will succeed by the side of
others who fail under precisely the same
circumstances and conditions. 1t is a
question of wise economy: often a ques-
ton of expenditure rather than that of
Withholding expenditures. 1t is a matter

B. Y Cadmus, of the Rock-Elm Farm,
Bay City, Mich. has this to say of the
poultry business for farmers:
In chicken raising, we claim the most
essential points are: The persons, he
must have a genuine love of all kinds
of work. watch small details, cleanliness
and good blooded stock right from the
beginning.
we are firm believer that a farmer
can make more money from flock of
well bred chickens than he can from
any other farm animal, at about one
tenth the cost, and one-half of the care
that he does his other farm animals.
He need not work one-half so hard, but
he must be particular about the one
principal point, namely, cleanliness.
With the price of one fair team of
horses. namely $500 he can buy a good
breeding pen. incubator, erect a good.
warm building, etc. And at the end of
two years. out of this breeding pen, he
will be able to make more money than
he ever will be able to do with his team
of horses with a great saving of labor
and feed, giving chickens same care he
has the horses.
Our advice to farmers is: Get 100 White
Plymouth Rock hens. cross them with a
Cornish Indian game, or Leghorn cock.
allowing one cock to each ten hens. This
cross is for market purpose alone. Also
insuring fertility OF eggs during cold
weather.
After September the farm work is all
done excepting the regular routine of
attending to farm stock. The hens are
confined in colonies. The farmer has
nothing to do but watch them and give
good wholesome food and water With
proper care he should be able to get
from % to 50 eggs per day for Matching
purposes
Now start up a 2OO-egg size incubator
and keep it running from September to
April. With proper care of his machine
he should be able to hatch from 700 to
LOCO chickens. 1t depends a great deal
ON the fertility of eggs as to the amount
of chicks he may bring off each hatch.
Begin selling same in March and sell to
August They should average in weight
about six pounds each The average
market price during these months will
be about IL cents. He will make from
$3.50 70 $500.
We had considerable trouble at first in
regulating the moisture. That point in

cation, and particularly of working with
the head at the same time that you work
with your hands. No man ever made a.
great success financially by working with
his hands alone. Both hands and head
should be occupied, but of the two the
head is of the greatest value. Many peo-
pie begin life by working for others. This
leads to the cultivation of hands rather
than head: therefore. if man has
worked by the month for ten or fifteen
years and then starts for himself, he is
not apt to use his head enough since his
