land.
Sand and peaty ground form the
ideal soil for the cranberry, and in
stead of fertilizing, the grower is
obliged to give the vines or bushes lib
eral coatings of sand
The place where the cranberry
grows is variously known as the marsh
or the bog, from the fact that it must
be low land arranged with a system
of sluices similar to those used for
the irrigation of arid land in the
west.
1t takes money and patience to pre-
pare a bog, and the man who puts his
capital in the venture deserves a fair
return for his product. 1t costs not
les than $500, and as high as $500
an acre, to get the bog ready. Then
five years must elapse before there is
any crop sufficient to give return,
But after this it is all profit for the

Nothing could be simpler than
planting cranberry bushes. A small
handful of twigs is twisted together,
and thrust deeply into the sand. They
need no tending, but take root az
once, and within year send out run
ners. The planting is done in rows
eight or Ten inches apart Gradually
the spaces between the rows fill up,
and soon the whole bog is one field of
growing cranberries
Flooding the bog answers the dual
purpose of giving the cranberry the

THE AMERICAN INCUBATOR IN TURKEY.

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

tion is very valuable, as it economies
both heat and space.

We all know that there is big money

The value of poultry production for the
United States this season was but
shade under that of wheat or cotton,
amounting to over half billion dol
lars. Since the perfection of the in
cubator, the importance of the indus

ORIENTAL INCUBATORS.
Peculiar Facility of Chinese for Arti-
ficfaI .iatching.

If we are to look the beginning
of any particular industry, we are
usually told that we might find that
this particular work was first carried
on in China. This applies as well to
the artificial Matching of eggs.
Throughout China the Matching of eggs
by heat is very large and important
industry and has been practiced since
very ancient times. The Oriental who
desires to hatch eggs by artificial heat
first constructs a building of sun
dried brick, plastered on the outside
with mud. Completely fill : one
side and the other also, except for
door space and sufficient room for a
man to test the eggs, are round, bar
rel-llke mud brick walls with earthen
Jars set into them. This jar is very
deep, and comes within six or eight
inches of the ground. The conical bot
tom is filed With ashes to the depth
of eight or nine inches, to keep the

avoid sudden changes of temDerature

POULTRY FEEDING.
An Important Phase of the Chicken
Growing Industry.

Poultry feeding is sometimes a most
serious problem to those who desire to
make this line a speciality. Expert
ence has shown that there are certain
special lines of agricultural operations
with which poultry raising may ad-
vantageOusly be connected. In dairy
ing there is usually a large quantity
of skim milk or buttermilk which
may be utilized to furnish a consider
able part of the poultry ration. Upon
,Ne fruit farm fowls are also of ad-
vantage. They keep down insect pests
and they may have a free range a
greater part of the season without the
possibility of doing any damage. Plum
growers have found poultry especially
useful in obliterating the curculio, and
even the apple crop has been cOnsid-
erably benefited. If it is found that
The Breckenridge news., 1906-02-21

living germs are sold on the street for
food at about one-sixth of a cent
each. ,
After being tested they are kept in
the lars for seven days, being
changed as before. This makes total
of eleven days in the jars. Then they
are taken in 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 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.
The Breckenridge news., 1906-02-21

necessary is a 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 plowing 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, falling to secure
good results, become disgusted and in
form their neighbors that artificial in
cubation is a failure and a fake. On
the other hand, the purchaser Of a good
