formed from time to time, partly with
the idea of seeking relief from the
abuses above mentioned, but they
have always proved to be ridiculously
inadequate. 1t is only by becoming
a part of the grange AMI securing its
endorsement of their wishes that the
poultrymen stand the ghost of
chance of lettering their condition.
1t is, however, we'll worth trying, for
the prize amounts to millions of dol
lals now spent in the importation of
inferior products, and which should
be diverted to the pockets of our home
producers in this state. But others
cannot be expected to fight our battles
unless we are prepared to help them
fight their own. The Grange needs
us and we need the Grange. Let us
join then and give it loyal and devoted
support, working with our coats off

The problem of moisture is rather a
difficult one to solve. In this climate,
when results ale not satisfactory it
is often found beneficial to increase
the amount of moisture recommend ed
by the manufacturer. A good way to
supply moisture is by the use of pans
containing an inch of wet sand in the
nursery trays. l use this throughout
the hatch. And as a rule a hatch can
be improved by sprinkling the eggs
with warm water several times when
the chicks are Matching. Use water
fairly warm but not scalding, and
sprinkle with whisk broom. Pull out
the trays and sprinkle as quickly as
possible and at the same time remove
as many of the empty shells as can be
grabbed up quickly. as many chicks
are smothered by the empty shells

does no harm to leave chicks in the

POINTERS ON INCUBATING

1t is very generally believed that
the best place for an incubator is the
cellar. There could be no greater
mistake. Instead of placing your ma
chime in the cellar keep it above
ground where the air is pure. 1t
should be placed in a cool room that
can be kept we'll ventilated, and on the
shady side of the house. No fire
should be allowed in the room during
the process of incubation.
Beyond question few of us know as
much about operating any make of IN
cubator as does the maker of that
particular machine. 1t is, therefore,
good policy to follow his instructions
as carefully as possible but sometimes
local conditions make some slight
changes desirable. Experience gener
ally shows us how to imp1ov our
methods somewhat according to our
local needs, but the beginner had
better stick pretty close to the manu-
facturer's instructions. 1t will do
him no harm, however, to keep in
mind the following suggestions:
Before starting the machine it
should be thoroughly renovated and
disinfected. This is vital point as
the success of the hatch depends in
great measure upon the purity of the
air in the egg chamber. In expert
ments conducted at the Guelph, On
tario, Experiment station, Prof. Ora
ham found thorough drenching of
the interior of the incubator with a
solution of zenoleum, just before
setting, increased the PERCENTAGE OF
chicks Matched.
Before starting up the machine for
the season it should be run at an even
temperature two or three days. If
the eggs to be incubated have come by
express lay them on one side for "a hrs,
then turn on other side for II hours
more before placing in incubator. 1t
is advisable to place them in the ma
chine with the large ends pointing the
same way. The machine should not
be run too hard at the start. Take
plenty of time to get the eggs warmed
up At least day ga hours) should

Poultry Raisers Should Join
the Grange.

Though the farmer, mOre's the pity,
is not always poultyman, poultry
man is always a farmer, and as such,
eligibil to Grange membership. Not
only that hut, in the crisis which
faces the granger and demands his
organizing to defend himself from
the wolves of the protected interests,
he now meets with the most cordial
invitation to join this great and far
reaching organization, which seems
to have acquired a new lease of life
and is assuming formidable proper
tions. Thus is the door of hope held
open to the poultryman and it is de-
voutly to be wished that he may see
it and avail himself of 1t, and in
ever increasing numbers.
For never were the kindred workers
of the soil so vitality necessary to one
another as now, and in the line up
soon to come not one can be spared
from the ranks. Whether a wheat
grower, an orchardist, stockman or
a poultry raiser, each man suffers
from want of protection, state or
national, of his industry against the
entertainments of illegitimate com
petition or the strangle hold of the
vested interest, and all must pull to-
gether as one man if these conditions
are to be improved. Just what the
others want and need the most | do
not know; beyond question they want
and need enough; but | do know that
the poultry industry OF the state is
perishing for want of just and neces-
sary laws protecting it against I'M
ported goods of inferior quality, sold
under false descriptions and labels, to
the serious loss of the local grower
and the great profit of the unscrupul-
Gus retailer, also against larcenous
com ission men, with whom the poul-
try raiser must often do business
under present conditions and who
should be specially licensed and rigid
ly inspected in all their business
transactions.

Should temperature go above these
points take out the eggs and turn and

cooling does no harm and is often
beneficial.
The lamp should be filed once daily

recommend dong this in the evening
to insure ID clear flame during the
night. prefer doing it earlier in the
lay so that by bedtime the machine is
running steadily at the normal
temperature again. The wick should
not be trimmed with the scissors but
pinched off with the fingers instead,
and new wick should be used with
every hatch.
Beginning with the third day, the
eggs should be turned twice daily.
No artificial device for turning them
has ever proven successful and Snuff
ling the eggs around in the tray, as is
recommend by many incubator manu-
facturers, is a sloveny method of pro-
ceedure. Turn them by hand, chang
ing the position of the eggs in the
trays SO that the outer rows are, with
each turning, worked nearer the mid
die and the middle rows worked to-
ward the outer sides. Also change
position of trays, if machine has more
than one tray, and change trays
around, back to front, as we'll. | have
turned eggs three times a day with
good results. Do not turn the eggs
after the eighteenth day.
After five days of incubation the
eggs should be cooled once daily. In
the early part of the season L prefer
to cool them in the afternoon, rather
than the morning, as it is somewhat
warmer then and the eggs take longer
to cool and get better aired. They
should be cooled until they feel dis
tinctly cool but not stone cold. AS
the hatch progresses more time is
needed to cool them until during the
last week it is sometimes necessary to
take three quarters of an hour to the
operation, or even an hour If the
weather be warm. Do not cool the
eggs after the eighteenth day.
Leghorn eggs may be tested out at
the end of the fifth day; dark shelled
eggs at the end of seven days. Lamp
tests are clumsy and slow, the sun
light is better. Let the sunlight in
through a hole one inch and quarter
in diameter. Pass eggs in front Of this
hole and the germs can be seen as
plainly as if the she'll did not exist
1t is advisable to test on the twelfth
and seventeenth days as well. At
the first test mark the eggs about
which you are in doubt; the subse-
quent tests will determine positively
their condition and you will gain in
knowledge and experiences. A live
germ has a spiderly appearance at the
first test. An infertile egg is quite
clear. At later tests the germs that
float rapidly from one part of the egg
to another, as it's position is changed,
are dead and rotting. The living
germs increase in size and density

Washington, ID. c. Especially -
Within few days It will probably
be known whether the entire South
eastern section Of the country east
OF the Mississippi will be involved
in a serious railroad strike. The
presidents of l3 railroad lines we're
hastily called into consultation with
Chairman Knapp, of the Interstate
Commerce Commission and Commis-
sioner OF Labor Neill, and stayed in
session all day. The situation is
admitted on all sides to be acute
The situation grows out of con-
troversy between the Southern Rail-
way, the Seaboard Air Line and the
Atlantic Coast Line and their affiliat-
ed lines, including the Queen And
Crescent Road, and their conductors
and brakemen. The latter have de-
manded a material advance in wages
approximating 20 per cent. They
have already taken a vote to strike
unless their demands are complied
with.
About two weeks ago the general
manager of the roads and the repre-
sentatiyes of the conductors and
brakemen agreed to submit their diff
ferences to Chairman Knapp and
Commissioner of Labor Neill, the
mediatOrs under the Erdman Act,
the terms Of which act provided for
the settlement of disputes between
common carriers and their employees
Hearings have been given to the rep
resentative of the men, some 200 in
number. and the 10 general mana
gers Harvey Barker, general mana
ger of the Queen and Crescent, being
the chairman of the managers COM
mittee.
Practically no headway was made,
the railroad managers asserting that
their earnings would not allow of
the increase demanded. The men
were obdurate, and it appeared that
a break would occur, and the rep
resentatives of the conductors and
brakemen would send kilograms or
dering the men to walk out.
At this juncture 1t was decided to
call in the presidents of the roads,
and this was done. President Fin
ley of the Southern Railway; Presi-
dent Emerson, of the Atlantic Coast
Line, and President Medium, of the
Seaboard Air Line-the chief lines
and the presidents of the other lines
were in conference with the Media
tion Board all day. and it appears
that little progress was made, and
that unless one side or the other
makes concessions the entire south
eastern section of the country will be
involved in a serious strike.
The men have urged that, mas
much as the conductors and other
trainmen on Northern and Eastern
lines have received increases. it is
only right they should receive the
same treatment, in view of the in
creased cost Of living.
While neither side will discuss
the situation. it is known that.
though the mediators admit that it
Is serious, they have not yet given
