Matching With Incubators.

There are so many causes for

possible to state them. Ihe eggs may
be at fault, and the hens that laid
the eggs may be too fat. Then there
is the thermometer, which may be in
correct, and you may also be mistaken
in the tempera ture. Eggs should nev-
err be added to the lot after incuba tion
beieins; the difficulty of adding extra
eggs every week is that the animal
heat of the first lot Will be greater
than that of the second. After the
tenth dav the Chicks On tine eggs may
of themselves create sufficient heat ito
keep temperature ait 103 degrees for
a day, without amy meat being given
to them, while the eggs just put in

if the bulb of the thermometer, p-ac-
ed on an egg that has been in the in

1913 degrees, fresh eggs would perhaps
be only at temperature OF 80 de-

THAT WONDERFUL CHURN.

ONE minute, but THAT l got more and
better butter than with any other
churn. 1t works easily and will

few years [ fhave tried selling various
articles, but have done better with
the churn than nything [ have ever
