Q. / have had very poor incubator
matches, so many chicks sticking in
the shell. There are so many with
twisted toes. club feet, crooked backs
and very thick necks. None of my
breeders are crippled, and l come to
you for an explanation.
A. You run your incubator too hot,
especially in the last ten days. Try
102 degrees first week, 1903 degrees the
second up to day Of hatch and then
let temperature go to 104 degrees, but
no higher.
FEATHERS AND EGGsHELLS.
In Pennsylvania it is a misdemeanor,
attended with 5000 fine, to have rotten
eggs in ones possession. This law Is
popular with politicians as well as con-
sumers, as it protects both.
China is the greatest duck producer
in the world Her public hatcheries

It is strange how few realize that it
requires certain qualifications to make
the poultry business a success. Many
fail at it. Yes. and that's sign enough
that it's no mud pie affair.
Criticising newspaper is generally
a dumbskull's caper. Such people
often visit us. tell us how to raise
poultry and often buy some Of our
most vigorous chicks and can't raise
one. They think they're the whole
show when they're all blow.
It's wise plan before you send

a view of prosecuting the adulterators

AS steamship companies are not
liable for loss unless jewelry is left in

Mrs Yeng will be able to recover any
damages. !
As soon as Mrs Yeng discovered
her loss, she placed her remaining
jewelry in the purser's care.
At conservative estimate Mrs.
Heng is supposed to have at least

General in New York, who is on board

Mrs. Yeng went on board the ship
in Shanghai, and on account of the
immense amount of valuable jewelry
known to be in her possession, was
warned about leaving it in her cabin.
Mrs. Yeng remarked at the time

The big ceremony of turning the
water into the canals leading to the
plantations took place on schedule
Friday morning at the weir at the
head of the big ditch above Kukui-
haele. A large number of ladies
and gentlemen we're present. J. T.
McCrosson was Master of ceremonies
and introduced the speakers.
w. G. Irwin was first called upon
TO speak for the plantations and the
original promoters of the ditch pro-
ject. He spoke feeIingly of the eff
forts of himself and Mr.. Spreckels to
carry out the same idea twenty-five
years ago, and paid high compliment
to Mr. McCrosson for his perseverance
and success. He referred at length
to the great good to come to the plan
tations as a result of the ditch and
predicted that it would mean millions
to the district.
Harry Lewis spoke for the financial
end of the enterprise and the difficult
ties met with in keeping it floating.
Jorgen Jorgensen spoke of the civil
engineering part of the work.
Frank Thompson accounted for the
legal arm of the service.
James Glib spoke Sor PaaNhau plan
tation and J. w. WaIdron for Homo
kaa and Pacific Mill.
Mr.. McCrosson spoke feelingly by the
fidelity of the men working under him
in the tunnels and on the big ditch.

to the Hamakua ditch just opened:

Purpose of water: The object of
tapping the Waipio stream is for
irrigation purposes, the water OBJ
tanned to be used on the lower lands
of Kuhuihaele, EcnOkaa and Psau-
hau plantations.
Source: The Waipio stream in Ha-
makua, Island of Hawaii, is the source
of water supply. Originating in the
Kohala mountains it is the result of
the confluence of four streams, known
as Kawainui, Alakahi, Koiawe and
Waima.
How Derived: This water is deriv-
ing streams. Entire length of lower
ditch is "a 3-4 miles, comprising
Tunnels, 56,932 feet; open ditch, So

Open ditch throughout plantations,
II 1-2 miles.
Grade: The grade of tunnels and
fumes is feet per mile, and of the
ditch 8 feet per mile.
In the mountain system of tunnels
was driven the longest tunnel in tho
Territory, same having been operated
by machines, handled by Japanese la
Dor, and white supervision, in thir-
teen months, distance of 1912 feet
through the center of tne mountain,
connecting the streams of Wanna and
Koiawe. The tunnels are all cement
and stone lined where necessary. The
open ditch and tunnels through the
plantations are all cement lined with
plaster reinforced by wire netting
Along the line of ditch are 16 weirs
for the distribution of water in con-
nection with lateral bitches made by
the plantations for irrigation. These
are constructed of stone masonry
and strengthened by the reinforce
ment previously mentioned in the op-
en- ditch, in the bottom of these. Each
has strong iron gates for the ingress
and egress of the water; also weir
houses at each weir containing auto
matte weir registers for measuring
volume of water daily delivered to the
plantations. The main measuring weir
at Kahuihaele consists of six feet
panels capable of measuring up to
100 million gallons, the capacity of
the ditch when full,
Cement Lining: In the open ditch
throughout the plantation section
about 5000 barrels of cement and 49,
900 Gu. yards of sand were used in
lingin the sides and bottom of same
together with the wire mesh netting
heretofore mentioned for reinforce
ment purposes. About 5000 bar
rels of cement were used up in stone
lining and cement plastering the

Dry Seasons.

An interesting record is that OF
the severe drought, as far back as
the landing of the pilgrims. How
many thousand times are obervations
made like the following: "Such a
cold season - Such dry weather 2"
''Such hot season ''or "Such wet
weather? Such high wind OF
calmsi'' etc. All those who think
that the dry spell we had last spring
was the largest ever known, will do
we'll to read the following:
In the summer of 1857, rs days in
succession without rain,
In the summer Of 1862, 80 days in
succession without rain.
In the summer of 1888, 81 days in
succession without rain.
In the summer Of 1880, 90 days in
succession without rain.
In the summer of 1749, 108 days in
succession without rain
In the summer of 1862, 1913 days in
succession without rain.
In the summer 1902, % days in
succession without rain.
In the summer of 1912, 20 DAYS in
succession without rain
In the summer of 1856 "a days in
succession without rain.
In the summer of 1871, AZ days in
succession without rain.
In the summer of 1874. 26 days in
succession without rain
In the summer of 1876. 26 days in
succession without rain.
1t will be seen that the longest
drought that ever occurred in America
was in the summer of 1862. No rain
fell from the 1st of May to the 1st of
September, making 1913 days without
rain. Many of the inhabitants sent
to England for hay and grain =
