Pays to Have an Incubator.

Pays to Have an Incubator.
Six years ago we purchased 100
egg incubator and every season 1t has
been set five or six times and have
never had one failure nor one bad
hatch. The matches are always in the
nineties with the exception Of once
when we only got seventy-eight chicks.
Our matches are about the same each
time each season through. We nearly
always have from ninety-two to ninety
six chicks, seldom lower than ninety
three, more often higher than that and
always such strong, lively chicks, al
most never cripple among them
seldom one in 500 Our incubator has
not had the advantage of being kept
In a cave or cellar, but we have done
so well with it that we have purchased
another of 40 and one of 240-egg ca
pacity, as we are going into the bust
ness more extensively.
We can truthfully say that the in
cubator is great time and labor saver
and a money maker. 1t Is one Of the
best investments any farmer or any
one who raises poultry can make. Who
would care to go back to the slow way
of raising chicks with the sitting hen
when 1t can be done with the incuba-
tor SO easily and so well? With the
hen the season of Matching is soon
over with, while with the incubator
the early fries for market can be sold
when the market prices are best and
the early pullets Matched that will be
wanted for fall and winter layers. We
do not have to wait on the sitting hen
to hatch out a few chickens when we
have the incubator to hatch them by
the dozens.
A good incubator will pay for IT
self over and over the first season of
its use 1t is indispensable in the poul-
try business. To all those who con-
template purchasing l would say, don't
get one that is too cheap. Get a good
one, even If you do have to pay more.
The good ones are the cheapest in the
long run. There are some 1ncubators

Peter Coopers Locomotive.

The first attempt to use engines in
the United States for any other than ex-
perlmental purposes was in 1920, by the
Hudson and Delaware Canal company,
from Carbondale to Honesdale, Pa,
distance of sixteen miles. The engines
were made in England. In the follow
ing year Peter Cooper built the first To-
connective in the United States 1t
weighed less than a ton; its boiler was
about the size of a flour barrel, and it's
flues were made of gun barrels. Mr.
Cooper was highly elated because his
engine made better time than the horses
of other railroads.-Canadian Magazine.

Handling Manure.

1t Is pertinent also to here refer to
the trials conducted by the Cornell
Agricultural Station to demonstrate
posed to teaching and weathering. A
pile Of manure that contained elements
worth $5.4S, after being exposed for
five months was worth only S2.03. Leav-
ing manure in piles in the field is an
antiquated method that should never
be practfced for the reason that 1t
results in fertilizing the spots where
the heaps lie too heavily, giving them
fully three times as much Of the fer
tilizing elements as they need, while
three times as much ground receives
less than it needs, or not enough to
make a showing. Where manure is
allowed to lie In heaps on field for
a few weeks or q month, 1t is an I'm
possibility to spread it so as to get
an even distribution of organic mat
ter and of the elements of fertility. 1t
is preferable to spread the manure dt-
rect from the wagon with a fork, al
though this is by no means an up-to-
date way Of handling it. For the most
economical results, manure should be
hauled direct from the barn as soon
as it is made and scattered over the
fields by means of a spreader. In this
way, and in this way only, can the full
value of manure be saved. provided, Of
course, enough bedding is used In the
barn to nicely absorb all the liquid ex-
crement the plant food Of which
amounts to nearly one-half of the total
in the manure and liquid excrement

Insist upon pasteurization OF the

If milk shows deposit of dirt at the

pasteurized milk than in any other

PARISIAAN GAMBLERS DUPED.
A Clever Ruse Enables Robbers to Take
Their Money.


It has just been learned that a
"Koepenick" coup has been successfully
brought off on the Maison Lafitte, the
well known Partisan club.
High gaming goes on in the club.
which some time ago evaded a police
raid only by getting previous warning.
While the gaming tables were crowded
seven well-dressed men entered, and the
leader announced in an impressive of
fetal manner: II am a police commits
sary, and in the name of the law, l for
old any one to leave the building"
Then the doors were locked, while he
"commissary" gathered up all the money
on the tables-about $4,000. He then
proceeded to take the names and al
dresses of everybody present, and an
nOunced that prosecution would follow.
After that nothing happened for some
days, but one or two of the leading
members of the club decided to try and
square the commissary. When they
went to his Office they found that the
real commissary was a different man al
together, and knew nothing about the
"raid."

are various and depend on the physical

The value of Tile Draining.

Tile properly placed makes soil
dryer in wet weather and more moist
in dry weather This is difficult 10
understand until We consider the ma
ture Of the soil.
Soil In proper condition is porous,
something after the manner of u
sponge. 1t viii hold water up to a
certain point without leaking. Until it
becomes thoroughly saturated, 1T con-
tains air as well as water. Air is
warm and air is needed by plants in
the process of growth.
Tile leads the water away quickly
in the spring so the air can penetrate
the soil and warm ii so seeds will
terminate and grow quickly. I'M
drained land, if low, fills with water
in the spring to the saturauon point
and the excess of moisture passes off in
vapor through the process of evapora-
ton. 1t requires a great deal of heat
to warm the water sufficiently to cause
it to pass off in this way. That heat is
lost.
After evaporation has dissipated the
moisture and the soil becomes dry
enough to work it breaks up in clods
because it has baked down and packed
together like mortar. 1t is almost i'm
possible to prepare a good seed bed in
such ground. Agricultural Epitomist.
