LOSS IN WEIGH T.
ROyv You May Tell III the ventilation
I'm Yowr Incubator liz Right.

How You May V&A An &M~
I'm Yowr Incubator In Right.
The West Virginia agricultural ex-
pertinent station publishes the Follow
ing table showing loss In weight OF
eggs during incubation. After placing
the eggs upon the trays ready for the
incubator set the trays upon pair OF
scales reading to ounces and note the
total weight Of the eggs and trays.
The trays should be thoroughly dry
After a few days weigh again. Sub
tract this from the first weight. This
will give the actual loss in weight or
the eggs.
Example.-Suppnse that you have ,2OS
eggs on the trays. that the first weight
with trays Is "a pounds 2 ounces and
that OH the sixth day the weight Is %
rounds 6 ounces. Then the loss In
weight is II ounces. Now look in tht
table for the loss in weight of 100 eggs
for six days. This Is 10 ounces. Then
ounces multiplied by 2.oS gives eos
ounces. which is the calculated loss for
2OS eggs for six days. Therefore the
eggs have not been losing weight us
rapidly as they should, and the eggs
should lie given more ventilation or the
incubator should be removed to drier
location. 1t is assumed that the eggs
are kept uniformly at the proper tenn,
perature After the eggs have been
tested for the infertile ones weigh again
and proceed as before.
Rules-If the eggs have lost too much
weight, give more moisture or less ven
tilation, but In reducing ventilation
great care should be used, as pure air
In the egg chamber Is absolutely neces-
sary.
II the eggs have not lost enough
weight. open the ventilators or place
the incubator in drier place.

of 100 eggs in ounces for the first nine

Loss in

The Change In thc Turkey Market.
1t lis said that the growing demand
for young turkeys in early summer as
broilers, at about three pounds each,
and later from that weight to five or six
pounds, has resulted In reducing the
supply OF really good nearby turkeys at
Thanksgiving time SO much that mar
ketmen find 1t exceedingly difficult at
that season to supply the trade, which
rather insists upon nearby bird.
These very immature turkeys go to
Newport and other swell summer re-
sorts, and the growers get as much for
them at that age as they would IL they
kept them until grown, and Of course
make more by selling early.
It wouldn't make SO much difference
to the Thanksgiving trade II the
weather favored the arrival Of ship
ments from distance In good condi
ton, but OF late years such weather at
the Thanksgiving season has been the
exception, and most western shipments
have arrived I'm such poor condition
that one need not be very fastidious to
turn from them with less appetite for
turkey than he brought to the market.
This year people who got good turkeys
paid big prices for them.
It is not impossible that the demand
for young (smalD turkeys may help to
revive the turkey industry in this Sec
ton New England). where 1t is not
what 1t was years ago. And 1t is not
impossible that with such n spur to
vigorous work against the disease

with the decay OF the industry. pract.-
cal methods Of dealing with that dis
ease may be developed and applied by
the turkey growers generally.-Farm

William Barbour, who was de-

strong feeling of state pride in his

New York.

cheer and sunshine.
One dear Sunshiner, who has been
four years a "shut in" and two years
a "shiner," writes: "Your letter is
the first I have received from our
own loved State"
Now, we are trying to answer not
only all letters, but all calls for cheer,
and so far have done so, but some
times have scarcely known just where
the "will" would come from to meet
the want" but then some dear Sun
shine sister or brother would write
such a nice encouraging letter and
inside would be a little cleaning row
of stamps. Then others have written
and received "cheer" that has taken
some five or six stamps to forward,
while enclosed within their letter
would be, perhaps one stamp, and
perhaps none. We knew it was only
thoughtlessness, but Sunshine can
not get over our State without
stamps, and there is no way provided
for these stamps, excepting voluntary
contributions. We explain this to
our Progressive Farmer Sunshine
readers that they may have an OPP
portunity to "render a thank-ofer-
ing" to the State Sunshine Society,
and in this happy Thanksgiving
time to make light the dark places
and visit the lonely and unhappy and
to bring the sunshine and JOY into
otherwise Swallowed lives.

ing right oYer them2 Why, AVA
back five hundred and fifty years be-
fore Christ, they had troubles, and
funny, many of them were about the
same troubles that we're fussina
about to-day; but this is what The
ognis, a poet, living at that time
wrote:
Entire and perfect happiness is
never
Vouchsaf'ed to man; **#
Whate'er betides US, grief or happi-
ness,
The brave and wise will bear with
steady mind,
Tn allotment unforeseen and unde-
find,
Of good or evil, which the gods be-
stow,
Promiscuously dealt to man below"
Now, we are not even going to talk
about troubles any more, but this
Thanksgiving time we're going to
make a fresh start in life, and if we
have been like Samantha" says,
enjoying misery" we're going to
turn. over a new leaf and see how
much sunshine and gladness we can
shed around us, and we are going
to be thankful; yes, thankful, that
we are living and still have a chance
to show how brave, how true, we can
be. To answer well, each and every
night the question

We shall do much in the years to

But what have we done to-day?
We shall give our gold in a princely

But what did we give to-day?

We shall plant a hope in the place
of fear,
We shall speak the words of love and
cheer;
But what did we speak to-day?
We shall be so kind in the after
while;
But what have we been to-day9
We shall bring to each lonely life a
smile;
But what have we brought to-day7
We shall give to truth a grander
