Happy Germany.

Whatever makes the poorest people healthy is good in German eyes Because it insures strong-nation that hereafter is to carry the power and influence of Ger many around the world. Whatever im- pairs the physical constitutions of the masses of people Is intolerable in German eyes because it threatens the national vigor and interferes with Germany's des- tiny.
 Hereafter men may think it strange that of all the nations on earth theSGer- man nation was the only nation or these times to-recognize adequately ana oiIiclal- ly the obvious facts of the great changes wrought for the sons of men by the intro duction of steam and machinery For one thing (and most importanD, the Ger mans saw that 1t drew huge populations into the manufacturing cities, where they sneedily became overcrowded and under yitalized. and it bent them for long hours over snch unwholesome employments as would in time destroy the race if there were not compensation In hours of rest and relaxation amid wholesome surround ings.
 Hence. goaded on, no doubt, by the growth of German Socialism, the German Government began to take most excellent
 
 vide exact and minute regulations con- corning the conditions of labor, careful factory inspection. compulsory insurance. old-age and invalidity pensions, ironclad laws about compensation for injuries; for to the directing German minds that ono man shall make a billion dollars seems less important than sixty million people shall be healthy and happy.
 Berlins wonderful homes for working men are in a way Q product of this gem eral idea and directly the product of the nations insurance system, which is oper- ated by the government and not by stock gamblers, and for the sake of the Com mon Good, not for the sake of private for tunes. The homes are built by the work ingmen themselves, but the government encourages them to build such houses, then enables them to build such houses, and then sees that such houses are built rightly.

The Florida agriculturist., 1909-03-01
The Future Of This Department.

Beginning with the next number the
Poultry Department will be edited by
Mr.. G. II. Lane, one Of the best informed
and most successful poultrymen in Flor
ida We are sure this announcement will
be hailed with pleasure by our readers,
who will in future find this one of the
best features of the Agriculturist. AS an
indication of what may be expected we
quite sentence or two from one of his
letters while he had the matter under
consideration.
''The proposition is a large one to me,
for I am very busy man, and the labor
involved would be considerable. If un-
dertook it [ would want to do it right,
giving good, readable, reliable matter,
with sufficient ginger in it to make it
of interest to all.''
With his conception of the work, and
his experience as practical poultry
breeder in Florida, we feel that we are
to be congratulated upon having secured
his services.
The Florida agriculturist., 1909-03-01
INCUBATOR MATCHING.
Defective Construction of Most of the
Machines on the Market.
By @. w. Leonard.

[ have been endeavoring for some years
mon to poultry raising. Starting with
the egg, we all known how seldom it
is that satisfactory number of pullets
can be saved from the vicissitudes com
mon to incubators, and brooding.
Incubator manufacturers tell us that
their machines hatch every fertile, strong

POULTRY TROUBLES.
The Experience of 15-Year-Old Girl
With Non-Setting Hens.

When I first began to raise chickens
I had the common mixed breed, and l
had pretty good success with them, for
they were both good settlers and good
mothers. But I exchanged them for
White Wyandettes and then I began to
have trouble in setting them. The hens
were willing enough to set, at first, but
after few days they grew tired OF set;
ting and would desert their nests and
let their eggs grow cold, or else they
would set until within a week OF the
time the eggs were expected to hatch,
and then would leave. Sometimes there
were others wanting to set. If there were,
[ would take the hen which had been set
ting and put her out and then put the
other on the nest, but if there were no
hens wanting to set, would place box
over the hen, so that she could not get
up very we'll, and keep it on for some
time, only taking it off for her to eat and
drink, then covering her up again. Some
times this plan would work, but more
often it would not. The hen would
manage to get the box UP, and then
leave or break the eggs and ruin them.
[ have lost a good many eggs in this
way If I do not lose all at a. setting,
often lose half of them or more.
For instance, one time [ set hen with
twelve eggs. She sat for about ten days,
then left the nest, and let the eggs grow
cold. I put box over her, but it did
no good, for as soon as I took 1t off she
left her nest, and would not go back tff<
til I made her. Fortunately, however,
there was another hen wanting to set, so
[ put her on instead, and she sat fairly
we'll for the remaining time, but did not
get more than six chickens out of all
the eggs that were set.
Now, I do not mean to say that COM
mon chickens set we'll all of the time, for,
on the contrary, set two common hens.
They set for a few days, and then delib-
erately deserted their nests, and I don't
believe they left three eggs out of the
whole lot. But ON the average, the COM
mon mixed breed sets better than the
White Wyandottes. Although the latter
are good layers and fairly good moth
ers, cannot recommend them as good
settlers. A Reader.
