INCUBATOR NOTES.

April is the month do the greatest
Matching in northern Iatitudes, and an
incubator is the best way to incubate
If one cannot be owned alone it may be
we'll to ''go in with some neighbor.
lncubators are now made by so many
manufacturers that they can i'll afford
to put out bad machine on account Of
the competition. In view of this fact
1t is easy to get them, so far as price
is concerned.
We are inclined to the belief that more
people are able to manage an incubator
to a successful hatch than are able to
rear a brood of chicks in a brooder. The
heat will need to be watched very care
fully and the food given the chicks will
also have to be looked after very closely.
Some people have been so unsuccessful
along brooder lines that they have given
incubator chicks to broody hens to rear
instead. There may be this difference
between the hen as a brooder and
breoder. The hen will give the chicks all
her time and attention. The brooder viii
give them just such attention as the op-
orator dictates. This may be three or
four times a day.
We have seen and had chicks to grow
by bounds and jumps In a brooder. Have
reared nearly all that have been given
over to its care, and again we have OBJ
tanned bad Oil and had the lamps go out
or smoke or do something that would not
be best for the chicks, and have had
them die as a result Of 1t.
Hard and fast rules are no better for
operating incubators and brooders than
they are for feeding fowls. Your ma
chimes will perhaps do better under your
management, If you have been successful,
than If managed as your neighbor man
ages his.
The fresher the eggs the better the
hatch. If the temperature is too low they
will not hatch until the 22d day or even
later.
Some authorities claim that 1922 Is
about the right temperature for an in
cubator. We have had the best results
with 103 for all the time up to the last
week, when We prefer 104. This tempera-
tufe brings cut strong chicks on the
twenty-first day ready for the battles Of
the world.
