them, but it was necessary to do a
little experimenting first to get the ma
chine in good working order, to keep
the lamp trimmed SO that it burned a
clear, white fame and to do 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 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
ems. Go right ahead, determined to
omit the mistakes of the first trial and
aim for IS or 80 per cent. of the next
Matching, which you should get if you
have good incubator and handle it
properly. After little practice you
come to know your machine, how it is
acting and what it will do, as we'll as
you know your driving horse, in fact
you can gauge it even more closely,
for it is a machine and you can control
1t to nicely.
There are hot air machines and hot
water machines, there are small
machines and big chimes
to meet every need and requirement.
the only thing is to get good machine.
An Attractive Side Like.
The poultry business on the farm has
always been considered largely within
the 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 incubators.
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 a good incubator and of the great
profit possible through its use"

THE AMERICAN INCUBATOR IN TURKEY.
After testing, 1t is stated that 80 per
cent Of those remaining will hatch.
This style Of incubator probab bly,
would not suit American requirements,
tut the idea Of utilizing the heat Of the
room during the later stages Of incuba-
ton is very valuable, as it economies
beth heat and space.
