end pose and the end post braced from

frozen ana the posts In rigid position;
stretch the wire fencing and staple
every wire to every post. Some fence
builders staple only two or three of
the horizontal wires to each post, but
such is poor economy of time and ma
terial. The cost Of few pounds Of
extra staples and an hour or two of
work in forty rod fence will save
many dollars and days Of work in the
end. -.
By stretching the wire fencing when
the posts are immoyable in the ground
no portion of the wire can pull pest
out Of position. By the time the
ground thaws out and becomes soft the
wire will have settled in position and
each post will be bearing an equal
strain.
II the string Of fence is very long
more than forty rods-it is well to
brace one or more intermediate posts.
This will prevent the fence from CIV
ing and becoming loose when 1t is put
under heavy strain by persons climb
ing over 1t or animals pressing against
it. A woven wire fence is good IL it
can be kept tight all the time; If not,
it is nearly worthless.
Where to Place the Incubator.
As to the location of the incubator.
Do not place it in room where 1t
will be between two windows where
draft is likely to blow across 1t. The
machine should not be located where
the sun can fall across it or strike the
floor too close to 1t.
The effect of the sun upon the ma
chine Is rather peculiar, and while the
temperature in the room may not seem
to rise, the sun will cause the egg
chamber to heat more rapidly than
might be supposed, thereby interior
Ing with the adjustments of the regu-
lator.
Do not locate the machine In north
OF west room, unless it is impossible
to find another place. A south or east
room is far more satisfactory.
The incubator should be where there
is fire all the time or it should be in
Il room where there is no fire at all.
II the machine is placed in room
where there is no fire 1t should be
borne in mind that the eggs can not
be cooled in temperature lower than
80 degrees for any length of time with
out chilling the eggs. The eggs should
be wrapped between the folds of
blanket and carried into an adjoining
room where there is fire.
The operator should use every posi-
Bile care in keeping the lamp bowl and
lamp burner scrupulouslys clean and
free from oil or any other foreign set
things. II this is not done the heat Of
the burner will naturally generate
some gas, and If this be thrown on in
the room 1t is sure to be gathered back
into the incubator, and as it flows
through the egg chamber, may cause
a great deal Of damage.
The air in the room must be abso-
lutely sweet and fresh. Be very care
full to see that the incubator sets per-
fectly level. but do not attempt to level
1t by water bottle. pan Of water or
anything except carpenters spirit
level.
Be sure to set the machine true in
the front and back and across each
end, as this will insure perfect cir
culatlon Of air through the tanks as
well as through the egg chamber,
which Will play good part in produc-
ing strong, healthy chickens.
