USE OF INCUBATORS.
bers of Them Sold in This
Country.

Among the many articles of Ameri.
can manufacture exported are incu-
bators for Matching eggs, in raising
chickens and other poultry. Incubators
are made in other countries as we'll as
here, but, like many other productions
OF American manufacture, the Ameri-
can incubators excel all others in de-
sirable qualities and effectiveness in
results; and they are exported prac-
tieally if not actually to every civilized
country in which poultry is raised.
There are many exported, and more of
of them every year.
The incubator is, of course, not new;
but more and more incubators are used
all the time, and large numbers of them
are sold in this country. There are
thousands of poultry farms here where
the eggs are now Matched in these ma
chimes, and constantly Increasing
number are sold to large and small
poultry raisers, in country and SUBJ
urbs, who raise chickens incidentally
to other things, or for their own eating
or for pleasure. There is something
fascinating about Matching eggs in this
way, and incubators have been set up
in parlors in city homes ard the neigh
bors called in to see the marvellous
Matching out of the little chicks, as they
might go to see the blossoming of some
wonderful plant. It seems odd, at first
thought, to see in city like New York,
and maybe in the most uncountrified
part of it, stores devoted to sale of poul-
try supplies; but they have plenty of
customers. There may be no chickens
running about in the streets here, but
outside of the city, far and near, there
are lots of poultry farms, many of them
big ones, that buy poultry supplies
here, and great numbers of other small
er poultry raisers who do the same.
The time of greatest activity in the
sale of incubators by the city dealer in
poultry supplies is for period of about
three months after the poultry show.
People that go there, to whom the in
cubator is something more or less row.
el, get interested in seeing it turn ont
chickens, and want one for themselves;
they live in the suburbs, or elsewhere,
where they do, or can, keep chickens,
and they buy an incubator. In this Pc
riod of unusual interest it would not be
remarkable for the city dealer in such
thing to sell a score or more of incu-
bators in a day; but aside from these
demands incubators are articles of reg
ular steady sale, sold like any other
merchandise, the year round and every
day in the year.
It scarcely seems probable that man
will invent any substitute for eggs, but
he certainly is all the time, to a greater
and greater extent, saving. the hen the
trouble of Matching them.-N. Y. Sun.

Reels Inning Muck Land.

The reclamation of muck land has
been the subject of study among agri-
culturists, as they recognize the pro-
ductiveness of such soils where it is
possible to bring them into a state of
cultivation. AS muck soil settles great
ly in drying out, underdrainage by
means of tiles should not be attempted,
as the tiles have tendency to rise to
the surface, and consequently fail to
operate. The preliminary work of
drainage should be done with open
bitches at frequent distances. Then
when the soil has become moderately
wdl drainsd the tiles should be placed.

head. Again the man smiled.
Just then an older man with a
smooth, hard face joined him, and both
began to talk earnestly, frequently
glancing across at Maud as though she
were the subject of their talk. At last
she could endure it no longer, and beck
oned to the conductor.
"Those men," pointing directly at
them, ''are annoying me very much by
their boldncss."
II am very sorry" returned the polite
conductor. II will see that it does not
happen again. And he moved toward
the young man.
The elder man rose as the conductor
crossed the car and engaged him in a
conversation which Maud could not
hear, but the conductor glanced back
at her several times, and she knew
there was some mystery. She would
have shrieked aloud could she have
heard what the cool stranger was say

THE DAIRY.

Winter made butter is not infre
uuently hard and crumbly and does
not spread we'll. Some suppose the
u is cold weather. While cold
does make butter hard, the hard crurnb
ling char acter of winter butter is main
" due to feed. Corn stalks and corn
meal make butter hard and crumblinP 4;
cottonseed meal hard and Waxy. Oil
meal fed winter or summer will make
butter soft and oily, as will also gluten
meal. The skillful dairy man combines
these feeds SO as to produce a good
Weld and also at the same time the
quality of butter that sells well-a but
ter that is firm and has good body, but
that spreads easily. Dairymen who
have private customers will be sur
prised at the difference this quality
makes in the amount of butter con
sumed. If the butter is hard and
crumbling, it does not spread we'll and
bread and butter is not appet;zing and
little is eaten. If butter ia firm but
still soft enough to spread easily, the
bread is covered with a generous coat
of it. the bread and butter tastes good
and the family eats a great deal Of it.
I have seen the change from hard but
ter to that which spreads easily treble
the consumption of butter in a family.
Producers should, consider this fact
when butter reaches a high price IN
winter.-H. NJ. Cotsrell, Kansas Sta
