GREAT HATCH OF CHICKS.
Mammoth Incubator in New York
Town Turns Them Out by
Thousands.

Nine, ten, good fat hen," sitting
ten years, or a thousand hens sitting
each on their Is eggs, would be re-
quired to do the work of the new in
cubator, with a capacity of $4,000 eggs,
lately completed in Pembroke, n. Y.
Partitions divide it into 100 compart-
mentS, each accommodating two trays.
The trays have wire bottOmSsand hold
IS eggs each. The incubator is heat
ed by means'of a coil of eight steam
pipes passing over the top of the egg
chamber on one side and returning on
the other These pipes are connected
at one end with a water tank and
heater. The water flowing through
the pipes is heated to exactly the right
temperature, a thermostat attached
to the stove opening and closing the
drafts to make this possible. The only
attention required by the heater is
morning. The thermostat is an ex-
pansion tank which stands over the
heater. The tank is filled with oil in
which is float. AS the heat of the
furnace warns the water in
the jacket surrounding the heater ex-
pands and the float rises. This move
ment actuates throttle attached to
the float arm and shuts the draft Of
the heaters another lever at the same
time opens the cold air draft of the
furnace. In this way the temperature
is automatically regulated with ex-
tremely little variation, the eggs being
kept at a temperature of 1O2 degrees
Fahrenheit A second novel feature
is that the heat of the eggs is regu-
lated by raising and lowering them in
the egg chamber, which is nearly
foot high inside, burlap separating it
from the pipes. The egg trays rest on
double frames hinged by galvanized
arms. AS the chicks develop the trays
are lowered on these supports, the
first drop being made in six days, and
others at intervals, until on the TWEEN
ty-first day the trays are resting on
the bottom of the chambers.

NEW STREET DRESSES.
Various Shades of Tan Are Now the
Rage-What Is Good Choice
for One Suit.

If one were choosing town dress
one might pause awhile in front of the
new tan shades, for they are well
worth attention They are to be seen
in all of the tones from the palest
cafe au lait to a deep coffee, and from
an ecru to a cream. These dresses are
very servicable, and the woman who
is going to have only one tailormade
dress would do we'll to think twice be-
fore passing on to the other counters.
The best of the so-called tan shades
is soft peach-skin color, something
which is not quite brown. 1t is often
called crushed leather, and its tone is
well adapted to any tint that may be
worn with it.
Not few of the new street dresses
are in deep strawberry pink, and for
the woman with one dress this is not
so bad, though one never gets quite
the service out of it which one gets
out of gray or light brown. Still it is
good and if one has a gown to change
off with it is to be advised.

SULPHUR FUMICATION.
Treated in This Way Causes Discolor-

there is danger of carrying San Jose

ed to this treatment in the state OF
New York were found to be discol-
ore0 in spots. The spots were slightly
sunken. An examination of The APP
pies showed that under the sunken
spots the flesh was dead and dried, as
though affected with dry rot. The
experimenters took up the subject and
repeated the fumigation with sulphur
and got the same results with apples

BUDDING FRUIT TREES.
Wherein the Process Differs from
Grafting-The Proper Wsy of
Doing the Work.

Budding differs from grating in thai
only bud with small piece of bark
attached is used in place of the scion.
Budding can be done with the great
est success towards the close of the pc
riod of growth, but il should not be

then the bark of the stock will be firm

ficuit or impossible to raise the bari:
SO that the bud can be inserted. Stocks
from one to three years old are best
for budding.
The scion may be cut as soon as the
buds have developed on the now

and the leaves are cut off so that q
little of the petiole remains as at

SPRAYING THE APPLE.
Bordeaux Mixture or Copper Sulphate
Solution Necessary to Fight
Pests.

The apple is the most important
fruit grown in the United States. i.
is assailed by many insects and fun-
gous enemies, most of which can be
controlled by spraying. Before the
buds start, it is we'll to spray with
strong Bordeaux mixture or with cop
per sulphate solution. The Bordeaux
mixture is best. This is made by COM
bjning five pounds copper sulphate, five
pounds fresh lime unslacked, so gal.
Ions of water. This is considered safe
and effective. 1t is essential that the
lime should be of good quality we'll
burned and fresh. Be sure and get
pure copper sulphate, as some of the
stuff sold on the market under that
name is badly adulterated. Slack the
lime and dissolve the copper sulphate
separately. The copper sulphate will
dissolve much more quickly If hot wa
ter is used. The copper sulphate can
be kept for long time without deterl-
Grating, and the fine can be kept for
about four weeks, if it is kept covered
with water. The solutions must be
we'll stirred before being used. Do not
mix the solutions in concentrated form,
cautions the Farmers Review, bat
ponr them into a barrel partly filled
with water. 1t is necessary to strain
the lime through cloth or strainer,
and the copper solution should also be
strained. This is to prevent the spray
ing nozzle from being clogged.
The second application of the spray
should be given as soon as the apple
blossoms fall. Then two or three more
sprayings should be given at intervals
of two or three weeks.
