living germs are sold on the street for
food at about one-sixth OF a cent

After being tested they are kept in
the jars for seven days, being
changed as before. This makes a total
of eleven days in the jars. Then they
are taken in a bamboo basket and
rolled out ON mat ON the
platform above the jars. Here
they remain until hatched. The
only heat they receive is from the
room, except during cold weather they
are covered with a heavy quilt After
they are Matched the chicks are put
in shallow baskets for a short time to
gain strength and then they are ready
for sale. The hatch by tn remarka-
bic method is from 60 to 20 per cent.

Is no danger of the poultry business
being overdone. 1t is one of the most
staple and profitable lines of business
in the world to-day, for it's products
are always in increasing demand in
every town and city in the world, and
throughout the entir" year.
But before going into the incubator
business it is necessary to have some
good egg producing machinery, that is,
good, laying hens and comfortable and
cheerful quarters, along with a go Il
system of feeding to induce them to
lay. The fertility of eggs is also af-
fected by the conditions of the hens.
The agricultural papers and poultry
journals are replete with information
upon the management of incubators,
and many books have been published

necessary is proper regard to the tenn
perature, and to the brooding of the
young chicks during the tender period
of their existence. The incubator has
interested thousands of women and
children in the work of chicken raising,
and it is not to be said that the returns
are less profitable than blowing or
other heavy manual labor.
Cheap Machines the Most Expensive.
There are many excellent incubators
upon the market, but there are also
many cheap. imperfect machines, the
purchasers of which, failing to secure
good results, become disguised and in
form their neighbors that artificial in
cubation is failure and a fake. On

! large flocks of fine chickens from
them, but it was necessary to do q
little experimenting first to get the ma
chine in good working order, to keep
the lamp trimmed so that it burned Il
clear, white flame and to do a dozen
other little things, which in very
short time made the owner as familiar
with the incubator as with any other
simple piece of farm machinery.
| The period of incubation is always
one of expectancy and when the chicks
begin to come forth from the shell
there is either keen joy or a decided
dampening of ardor, according as to
the results of the hatch. But don't be-
come discouraged if the first hatch
brings you only so per cent. of chick

to meet every need and requirement;
the only thing is to get good machine.
An Attractive Side Line.
The poultry business on the farm has
always been considered largely within
tue province of the women folks. and
the enlargement of the industry by
utilizing incubators has not changed
the situation, except that many others
than farmers wives are now raising
chickens from incuba tors.
Modern chicken raising, as it has
been adopted by thousands of people
owning small rural homes" said an
incubator agent to me recently, ''ac-
counts for the sale of an enormous
number of our incubators and breeders.
In fact, it is among this class largely
that we do business, and they are
making the money out of it. A vast
field is still open among the more con-
serva+ve residents of the interior farm
sections, who still stick to old methods,
unaware of the comparative simplicity
of good incubator and of the great
profit possible through its USE"

ton as to the splendid physical make
up of a chicken. Any boy or girl who
has ever succeeded in skinning and
stuffing a bird will take hold of the
caponizing idea with avidity; in fact,
Caponizing is by far the easier job; it
is as easy as the SHINING operation, for
in bird mounting the stuffing is the
really difficult part.

Not Difficult to Manage.

Not Difficult to Manage.
While there is nothing complex or
difficult about the successful operation
of an incubator, close attention and ex-
actness are necessary; yet the results
are more than worth the effort. The
woman who fills her lamps regularly
every morning, and the man who
winds his watch or clock at the
same hour every evening, need not
fear the task of running an incubator;
but unless one is willing to attend to
the few wants of his machine at the
right time, it will be unreasonable to
look for a good Matching of chickens
from the best incubator upon the
market.
The writer has used incubators and
has found great delight in Matching

After testing, it is stated that 80 per
cent of those remaining will hatch.
This style of incubator probably
would not suit American requirements,
)ut the idea of utilizing the heat of the
room during the later stages of incuba-
ton is very valuable, as it economies
both heat and space.
