IL thnt the chicks either fail TO hatch

any other. IL Is keen disappolnt.
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 q large loss to the poultry
man, and II there were no other prob
lem involved IN incubation than that
OF the chicks dying In the shell 1t
would warrant extended investigation.
The testimony Is very conflicting as
to the efficiency OF incubators. Hatches
rs high as 90 to 05 per centeof FER
tilef eggs are frequently made and as
low as . 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
blame in failing TO follow instructions,
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, 30 per cent Of the incubator chicks
die. The cause Of this great mortality
is usually ascribed 10 faulty methods
Of brooding or feeding. The fact that
the chick may be Matched 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 1t 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 rs to the comparative efficiency
OF hens and lncubators:
From $40 eggs set, incubators hatch
ed 533 chicks, or 60.6 per cent.
From 279 eggs hens Matched 219
chicks, or TS.8 per cent.
Eliminating eggs broken in nests,
the hens Matched SS2 per cent of eggs
set.
The incubators hatched 7s.5 per cent /
Of fertile" eggs. and the hens Matched
9G.5 per cent.
EGGS incubated artificially tested out

her left shoulder. The first car that
came along was No. 13. She let it go

Copyrighted, 1908, by Associated
Literary Press.

Neighborhood House was Natalie's
charity by inheritance. Her mother
had founded 1t and had met the def
eiencies in its exchequer from time to
time. Natalie was not sentimental, but
her mothers pathetic anxiety about
Neighborhood House during her last
illness had touched the girl, whose life
had been devoted to the pursuit of
pleasure.
Why Natalie should turn to the
Neighborhood House in her hour of
hurt pride only Providence could ex-
plain. To her the working girls toward
whose comfort, education and pleasure
her checks had contributed might as
well have been in Persia or China, so
little did she know them. In a vague
sort of way she thought of them as
moles who came out of their holes at
night and bllnkingly, even DULY. en-
joyed such pleasure as women of her
kind provided for them.
So when she came upon Maggie Con-
molly face downward in the pillow of

day, when all the rest of the Neighbor-
hood girls had gone picnicking, she
stood looking down upon the fearful
one with strange, brooding eyes.
