INCUBATOR HOUSE.

given as to the cause. The complaint
is that the chicks either fail to hatch
or, Matching, they fail to live. Why
the embryo should live through the in
cubation period and die before hatch
ing is a problem that bothers the in
cubator operator more probably than
any other 1t is a keen disappoint-
ment to the incubator user to find
after the eggs apparently have pro
crossed satisfactorily up to the time
Of Matching that 25 per cent of them,
more or less, have failed to hatch.
This means large loss to the poultry
man, and if there were no other prob
lem involved in incubation than that
Of the chicks dying in the shell it
would warrant extended investigation.
The testimony is very conflicting as
to the efficiency of incubators. Matches
as high as 80 to 95 per cent Of fer
tile' eggs are frequently made and as
low as 25 per cent or less. Some claim
that the fault Is in the stock that laid
the eggs. Others claim that the man
who runs the incubator is usually to
LII lollll1S " 1ollO" luSll uSllOllS,
and this is very often the case.
An even more serious problem is to
hatch the chicks well. Some claim that
it is easy to hatch the chicks, but hard
to raise them. Some reports are made
to the effect that within four weeks
after Matching every chick has died.
AT certain seasons Of the year proba-
bly, so per cent of the incubator chicks
die. The cause Of this great mortality
is usually ascribed to faulty methods
Of brooding or feeding. The fact that
the chick may be hatched with i'm
paired vitality has not been recognized
fully. The evidence Of vitality should
not be merely that the chick survives
the brooding period, but that it comes
to maturity with vitality equal to that
Of the parent stock and is capable of
transmitting the same vigor and health
to the second generation.
A series Of carefully conducted in
vestigations at the Oregon Agricultural
college has brought out the following
facts as to the comparative efficiency
of hens and incubators: .. a.
From S79 eggs set, incubators hatch
ed 533 chicks, or COG per cent.
From 279 eggs hens Matched 219
chicks, or TSS per cent.

A SMOOTH SWINDLE

Two smooth swindles are being
worked among farmers in this state.
One is where we'll dressed smooth
talking individual appears at the
farm home and announces himself
as an inspector Of live stock. He
proceeds to inspect the cattle, sheep
etc, and then presents bill from
$3.50 to SIS. as the case may be.
Later the farmer discovers the
inspector is an imposter; that he
has no authority from the govern
ment or other sources to warrant
him in making these calls.
Another scheme is being worked
where an alleged inspector exam
ines the farmers cattle and pro-
nounces the existence in the herd
of tuberculosis. He ventures the
suggestion that the disease is in a
very light form and advises the
owner to dispose of the stock as
soon as possible to someone outside
of the county in which he resides.
AZ few days later stock buyer

cattle at price below the market

Ell that he has been the victim Of

REVIVAL SERVICES

The series of union revival SER
vices opened very auspiciously last
Sunday evening, when the big tenn
porary tabernacle was crowded to
the doors with an immense audi
ence. The meeting commenced
about 7:3O with a song service led
by Prof. Geo. Moody and a. big
chorus. The evangelist, Rev Oscar
Lowrey preached a sermon full of
strong thot, and pointed with tell
ing illustrations. In his sermon
he outlined the methods to be
used and the objects aimed at. The
sermon dealt more particularly
with the church, and what it could
get from the revival services. The
sermon was listened to with keen
attention. In order to set peoples
minds right on the money question
of the campaign, Mr.. Lowrey stated
that the collections which would be
taken at each service would be
devoted to running expenses. The
local committee would have the
handling of that. The local COM
mittee would pay one half of the
singers salary, also the railway
fares of the evangelist and assis-
tants. They would also provide
entertainment. On the last day
of the meetings the collections
would be taken up by the evange-
list as his remuneration for servic-
es rendered. This is the plan that
has been used in other churches
and will be used here. Services
will be held each evening except
Saturday at 7:30 song service begin
ing at that time, followed by
peaching service. On Sunday next
there will be services at 1890, 8 80
and 1880. Sunday school will be
held in the various churches at $50
am. The churches uniting in this
revival are looking forward to great
good being accomplished and as
the EVANGELIST announces that he has
loaded his gun with dynamite,
rock salt and cayenne pepper no
doubt these hopes will be accom-
plished. Rev. Lowrey has the re-
putation Of being a very successful
evangelist. Everyone is invited
to come and hear for himself.

Commercialism and professionalism
have their own place in modern pro-
gress. Professors of morals tell us
sometimes that the question of where
commerce and the professions, is
given too large place. However that
may be, | am thinking that the per-
sonal motive in mems lives does now
adays often obtrude itself in the wrong
place. And at the wrong time. There
is a set time for everything under the
sun, the wise man of old said with
specification of instances. So there is
time for mortals to cast away care
and join their souls in merry making
around the festive board. Now can
you say that the cares of any man
earnest in pursuit of his lifes voca,
ton can be absent when he is sur
rounded with reminders and symbols
of his toiling hours?
Yet what do we find in the present
vogue, almost without exception, when
associations of men of affairs and OF
sciences come together at feast? We
see them stepped in an environment
of "khop" which they have either
created of their own ingenuity or have
complaisantly allowed to be construct
ed for them by some caterer. They
are thus violating, in double sense,
the .time-honored precept of polite
society. With scenery of shop they
are actors of shop, perforce constrain-
ing themselves both to think and to
talk shop.
Specifications would be invidious, for,
practically, they all do it," The
solecism stares from the menu cards
and gIares from amidst the decorations
of table and banqueting hall. When
there is copious literature and an
abundant symbolism wherewith to ele-
vate the minds of men in festive as
sembly above the carking affairs OF
life, why should the stimuli of thoughts
of the mode of ones livelihood, or even
altruistic pursuits, of set purpose be
invited? Eat, drink and be merry
without thought of the treadmill Of
existence, which your feet will surely
find on the morrow or ever you AGAR
behold the sun. Forget the shop wheI
you feast.

Star Chamber proceedings! Wo! Wo!
Wo! 1t certainly does me good to
hear what the Chamber of Commerce
and the Merchants Association have
been bowling at Irwin and Judge
Cooper. Every newspaperman of this
city has been raising the same COM
plant for years, but not about Irwin,
their complaints have been against
some of the very men who are now
asking Irwin to smite them on the
other cheek.
That such methods should be pursued
by Governor Frear is not in the least
surprising. He learned the trick when
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court,
where it was necessary, and his motto
always has been to hide everything
until it was completed and too late
for anyone to complain. No intima-
ton in regard to what he might do
will ever be given out by him until
everything is completed. If, for in
stance judge of the Circuit Court is
about to come up for reappointment,
will the Executive give out the names
of those who are candidates for the
position? Certainly not, that is pri-
vate business between himself and the
candidates. According to his light the
public is not concerned in the least
till after the appointment has been
made.
This might have been all right in
the Middle Ages when the baron OF
the land had the right of the High
Low and Middle Justice, but now
things have changed and, though the
governor is appointed by Washington
the people here feel that they have
an interest in what is to be done as
well as what has been done. The enc
of the star chamber" proceedings or
the mainland came long ago and the
underpinning has fallen from it in thi:
! Territory, which means a far better
understanding between the officials ant
the public.

NEW MONARCH 10 YEARS OLD.
Manuel Second Son of Dead Ruler, Well
Educated.

Manuel, yesterday proclaimed by the
council of state as the new King Of
Portugal, is the second son of the assas
sinated monarch. He is but little more
than IS years old, having been born in
the royal palace at Lisbon on November
is. 1889
Whine not in the direct line of success
sion to the throne, as long as his elder
brother, who was also aSsassinated, was
alive, nevertheless Manuel received an
extremely careful and painstaking edu-
cation In study he proved that he had
brains, and he is described as being dis
tinctly a young man of parts, with prom
Use of developing into an able monarch.
Prophets familiar with international
affairs argue that England will sustain
the new King and that he will have full
opportunity to show what kind of a rul-
err he has the ability to make. Thus far
Manuel has been best known as a
yachtsman, yachting being a sport of
which he is excessively fond. He has
been a prominent figure in many of the
regattas held on the Mediterranean, in
himself Last year he won the kings
cup, offered by King Edward of Eng
land, in one of the regattas held off
Marseilles.
One of the strong points about the new
King, as far as his sudden elevation to
sovereignty Is CUlCS1uSO, is LlldI he 1S III
extremely close touch with court mat
tiers and has a good knowledge of affairs
in Lisbon.
He was the favorite son of the dead
ruler, being much closer to King Carlos
than was the crown prince and being
often confded in by the, King.
The new King has had something of
naval education in addition to the usual
schooling and tutoring of a prince. In
his early teens he was sent to the naval
school at Lisbon, where he showed
great aptitude for a naval career. In
personal appearance he is described as
being fair, we'll formed and handsome.
