Incubator Don'ts.

Don't forget to study your incuba-
tor. Get the catalogue that describes
your particular machine, and study
every part and the construction in
general.
Don't try to run the incubator in
place where there is a draft, or near
stove, or in the sun. In such places
1t will be impossible to maintain a
uniform temperature. Set it where
the temperature is uniform, and you
will have much better success.
Don't forget to test the eggs before
setting the incubator and three times
during the incubation. Do not use
any doubtful ones. Take no chances
with any eggs that you are not sure
contain fertile and vital germ.
Don't allow the lamps to burn low.
Keep them trimmed correctly and as
nearly full of oil as possible. Do not
let them smoke. 1t is a good plan to
clean the burners every day to insure
uniform flame and absence of
smoke.
Don't place any dirty eggs in the
tray. Filth may cause the generation
of deadly gases, which will work ruin
to many of the fertile eggs
Don't try to place too many eggs in
the trays. Eggs need room in the in
cubator as we'll as the chickens need
room after they have been placed In
the brooder.
Don't forget to turn the egg every
second day. The hen generally turns
them every day, and the one who at
tempts artificial incubation should see
to this important essential at least
each alternate day.
Don't neglect to cool the eggs
every morning. The hen leaves her
nest at that time for food and drink.
and 1t is natural that the eggs should
be exposed for few minutes to the
pure atmosphere.
Don't handle the eggs with dirty
hands. There may be enough germs
upon the hands to destroy the vitality
of the germs in the eggs you touch.
Don't disturb the eggs after the
hands. There may be enough germs
upon the hands to destroy the vitality
of the germs in the eggs you touch
Don't disturb the eggs after the
eighteenth day. Better results are
obtained by allowing them to remain
quiet after that date. - Journal of
Agriculture.

Selecting the Dairy Cow.

Performance rather than fancy
breeding should be the yardstick by
which the dairy COW is measured. In
selecting calf to keep for milch
low it is wiser to select one whose
dam and grand-dam were good milk
ers than to look merely at the pedi-
gree the calf has behind it. Pedigree
does not amount to much unless 1t is
backed up by performance. OF
course, it usually is, but in some cases
it is not, and it is these cases where
it is not that should be avoided, says
Drovers Journal.
In selecting the calf for the future
dairy animal see that it has trim
head, small neck and is wide across
the hips, with plenty of room for an
udder. 1t will be wanted for milk, so
everything that shows a tendency to-
ward that end should be closely
looked for. The COW that has a ten
dency to lay on flesh is not as profita-
BILE milk producer as the COW that
at all times is angular and bony
looking, 1t is fact that the milch
cows that hold large records for milk
and butter fat production are of the
bony, angular type.

Killing Poultry.

The first essential is that the fowl
shall have absolutely no food for
thirty-six hours so that its crop, giz-
zard and intestines shall be empty.
First-class dressing demands that
the fowl be dry picked-not scalded
This makes the French method OF
killing very essential. BY this meth
cd the fowl is suspended by a loop
around its legs to hook on the wall
With a quick thrust through the
brain the operator kills the bird and
sewers the main arteries. At that in
stant he begins plucking the feathers.
They pull easily then-a minute
later they come hard, but in that one
minute the worst of his task is done
The carcass is then cooled, formed
in the forming troughs, so as to pack
nicely and is then ready for shipment.
No incision is made in the skin of
the fowl. None of the interior organs
were removed. The moment the in
terror of a fowl is exposed to the air,
decomposition sets in. Packed or
handled as described the fowl will

storage for weeks or months.
Cooks and some housekeepers OBJ
ject to this method of dressing fowls;
but the more intelligent know that It
Is the only safe and sanitary way of
doing the work.
The English method differs only in
the killing. No knife is used, no
bleeding is done. The vertebra next
to the skull is severed from the head
by strong quick jerk of the opera
tor; this causes instant death and a
loosening of the feathers as in the
French method. The head is drawn
out from the neck an inch or two,
and into this space the blood drains
and forms a clot as the bird hangs
by its feet. This method shuts out
the air from the interior of the car
cass even more effectually than does
the French method.
A serious onslaught has been made
on these methods of dressing poultry
in several States recently, but 1t is
hoped that they may not prevail but
rather that these methods may grow
in favor. They are safer for the con-
sumner; they are simpler and better
for the producer.-T. e. Orr. in bull
letin Pennsylvania Department Of
Agriculture.

State of PennsylDdnldI
MINER ENToMBEp.

Freeland Especially In a heavy
mine cavern in the Oakdale Colliery
of @. B. Markle & Co.. at Jeddo,
Mike Clebon, timberman, was en-
tombed and ten others severely in
jured. The surface is still creep
ing" and another cave-in is expected,
making the work of the rescue gang
extremely hazardous.
Owing to the extent of the cavern
the air was driven through the mar
row passages with velocity that
tossed the fleeing workmen like
straws before the gale.
While the creeping" OF the roof
notified the miners OF approaching
danger the extent of the cave-in was
a surprise to both workmen and fore
man.
Some of the rescuing party assert
that the entombed timberman Is still
alive, but the older miners say that
he has been caught beneath the fall
or dashed to death by the force OF
air current caused by the fall.
1ne earlier reports of the disaster
were much exaggerated and brought
hundreds Of people from the adjacent
towns who excitedly crowded about
the mouth of the slope.

Your Horses Feet.

A horse should never be compelled
to stand uphill The anatomy of the
horses foot, and, indeed, the shape
of the horse himself, makes this an
uncomfortable and unrestful position.
Whatever the arrangement for
drainage is, the horse must stand as
nearly level as possible. Moreover,
he must stand upon dry surface un-
less 1t is found that his feet need
moisture. In such cases a wet clay
floor is excellent, temporarily.
When you come In from driving,
and after your horse has properly
cooled off, see that the mud is re-
moved, not only from his legs and
the outer portions of his hoofs, but
from the sole as well. An occasional
stuffing with flaxseed is not only bene-
hcial but necessary ry.-Indianapolis

Poultry Notes.

One Of the main essentials of every
poultry house is that it must be kept
dry. Damp houses cause dlarrhoea,
canker, sore eyes, rheumatism and
other troubles that all animals as
We'll as poultry are heir to. The best
way to keep the house dry is to give
1t plenty of fresh air by opening the
doors and windows during the day.
Supply fresh litter often. Build the
house on high, dry spot.
Not more than forty hens should be
kept in one run-thirty would do
much better. The larger the flock the
sooner they clear off the surface food.
During the spring and summer where
fowls have the free range of the
farm there is plenty of room for
large flock, but when fowls are linn
tied in their runs the flock must be
smaller. Jnless other conditions are
supplied large lock will eat up the
profits.

Kill the Weeds Enrlr.

Weeds never die so easily as when
they are "just-a-borin', and for this
reason there is no method that is
more effective in destroying them
than the judicious use of harrow
in the cornfield or potato patch the
week following the time of planting.
Often good results are secured If a
cultivation is given just as the young
plants are coming through the
ground, but before there is a spread
of leaf. AS soon as another lot of
weed seed has started to germinate
these ridges may be narrowed lightly
to advantage and in the case of pota-
toes narrowing may be given as late
as two weeks after the plants have
come through the ground. Weekly
