An Electric Incubator.
An electric incubator has been intro.
duced in Europe, the operation Of
which is said to be attended by surer
results than other methods. for the rea-
son that It Is capable Of finer adjust
ment as far as heating and ventilation
are concerned. One Of the most DIM
cult features OF artificial poultry breed
ing 10 proper supply of fresh air. In
the electrical incubator dir is supplied
from underneath, the entering fresh
air coming in contact with the eggs
after being properly preheated by spe-
cial radiators. This ventilation is con-
trolled by opening to variable extent
the lateral slides fixed at the top Of the
apparatus 1t should be remembered
that ventilation plays the role Of main
tanning the life Of the germ. While
an ample supply of fresh air, there
fore, is extremely valuable for the de.
velopment Of the germ, any excess Of
ventilation will prove detrimental; in
fact, the surplus air will exert dry
Ing action on the contents Of the eggs.
In this incubator the matter Of ventil-
alton and heating is looked after auto
matically.
yentilating the Poultry House.
The experiment stations in moro
than one state have taken hold Of the
question of cloth ventilation for the
poultry house. Perhaps the most e.
fective arrangement IL that which has
been put into use by the Maine Ex-
pertinent station, where fowls are per-
mitted to sleep in roosting chamber
that is separated from the rest Of the
house by cloth curtain that IL pulled
down in front in the winter. Prof.
Woods says that the fowls behind this
are warm and comfortable and that
water does not freeze In the chamber.
In the morning there is no smell In
this chamber. the air being pure. The
window to the hen house is allowed to
remain open except during the driving
storms. when the snow might come in.
None Of the birds In the roosting place
have colds, and. on the other hand.
contagious diseases do not spread.
When the cloth Is used the fitting
should be SO tight that the air can
drift around 1t. The air should bs
compelled to pass directly through the
cloth and not around 1t or over It or
under 1t. It is probable that this will
prove disable on all our farms.

from Wabanaca, is agitating the
county division, according to the
'Beltrami Co. News and in sup
port" of his attitude submits a
lot of questions to the News for
reply. He also had list of names
already stereotyped and ready to
saddle the new county with. Fol
lowing are some of the names,
St. Olaf, Nelson, Johnson, North
Star, Moose, &c. What is the matter
with petitioning the Legislature
for a permit to call it Rollevson?
That evidently would be as appropri-
ate as any proposed and be more
to someone's egoism.

CARNEGIE PAYS OBLIGATION
Assists Daughter of Man Who Had
Befriended Him.

New York, March 5.-Out of graft
tude for an obligation rendered to him
many years ago Andrew Carnegie has
given $4,000 to Mrs. Henry Sanger
Snow, whose husband, formerly treas
urer of the New York and New Jersey
Telephone company, is fugitive from
justice. Snow is charged with the
embezzlement of $4,000 and when he
disappeared his wife and three chill
dren were left without other resources
than an appeal to relatives for aid.
Much publicity followed Shows de-
falcation and it was then that Mr..
Carnegie remembered the favor of the
times long ago. 1t had been rendered
him, as a matter of fact, by Mrs.
Shows father, David Brooks, a
wealthy manufacturer and banker of
Baltimore, who died about twenty
years ago. Mr.. Carnegie was a poor
boy in Western Pennsylvania, strug.
Cling to make his way, when Mr.
Brooks came to his aid. What the
service was or what the amount no
one concerned would reveal. Mrs.
Snow declares that she never has
known the nature of the obligation, as
she had no acquaintance with Mr.. Car
negie and that her father never men
toned the subject.
Her first knowledge of the benefac-
ton was when she received word that
$4,000 had been deposited to her
credit in New York bank and that
she was free to draw upon it when
ever she pleased.

provements made since the Missouri

safe.
The testimony of Admiral Cowles
was conferred in description of the
explosion on the battleship Missouri,
which he commanded at the time. He
was asked to state the cause of the
explosion and the defects that con-
tributed to the accident Speaking Of
the open turret on the Missouri he
said that the time between rounds in
firing the big guns had been reduced
from 300 seconds to 40 seconds The
lesson taught by the explosion, &C
cording to the adm1rals statement,
was that the great danger in the tur-
rets was from f1arebacks, which in
themselves were harmless to the men,
but often intense enough to ignite
powder, and therefore the safeguard
was to expel gases from the guns be-
fore powder was brought within range
and that had now been accomplished.
