"HE QUESTION is sometimes
raised whether the incubator
Il should be used on the farm or
not; whether there is place on the
average farm where poultry is one
of the smaller farm products, for a
| machine that has been very generally
considered as belonging to the spe-
| cialist.
There are several points to be
considered in deciding this question.
The market conditions, the number
of chicks wanted, the purpose for
which the chicks are raised and the
temperament of the person who has
the poultry in charge.
In some markets there is little or
no advantage in price according to
the season, but in most the early
crop brings the best price and finds
the readiest sale. II the chickens
are wanted early in the season, the
incubator must be used as while a
few hens will occasionally set early,
they can not be depended on to any
extent for this work.
If only few chickens are raised
each year, the cost Of the incubator
will take most of the profit, while II
a large number are to be hatched,
the saving in labor by the use of
the incubator will be an important
factor.
II the farmer is raising pure-bred
stock to sell for breeding purposes,
would not recommend the use OF
he incubator unless one of the nom
sitting varieties are kept. For
Matching and raising the breeding
stock there is something about the
old hen that we have never been
able to get in any incubator or
brooder.
The person taking charge Of the
poultry must also be considered in
deciding this question. Some people
like to work with the hens and have
a knack in handling them which

gives the best results; others dis
turb and frighten them every time
they come near them. On the other
hand, there is a difference in peo-
pie handling an incubator. A few
years ago two ladies bought the

commendation. One made sue

and sold hers.
My advice in regard to the incu-
bator would be: II you have a mar
ket for early chicks at profitable
price use the incubator as that is
the only way you can depend on
having any quantity Of early chicks.
For your breeding stock use hens
until you are satisfied that you are
Matching as good chicks with the in
cubator as you do with hens.
II you decide to get an incubator
get a good one. The cheap machines
are mostly single-wall machines and
need a great deal more attention to
keep the temperature even than the
better-built machines do.
The three chief requisites for good
Matching are. heat. moisture and
ventilation; OF these the heat is per-
haps the easiest to get and regulate

Six Candidates On The Republican State
Ticket Are Unquestionab1y Elected
And Will Not Be Counted Out.

Denver, Nov. 21.-As was to be ex-
peoted from such a courteous, fair
opponent, Judge Julius C. Gunter has
extended congratulations to Judge
James e. Garrigues on the latter's
election as one of the supreme bench,
and, by SO doing has set at rest the
idle talk of a contest before the state
canvassing board. Judge Garrigues
was elected by close to $4,000 plural
ity. a fine tribute to a worthy citizen
and jurist. all the more tribute be-
cause there was opposed to him on
the other ticket an exceptionally
strong candidate for the ONCE.
In addition to the nominee for the
supreme bench the Republicans elect
cd Benjamin Grifith. attorney gen
erai: Mrs. Helen N. Wilson. superin-
tendent Of schools; Miss woicott. and
W. J. King. as regents of the State
University. and Sheridan s. Kendall,

the circumstances. was a mighty good
record for the Republicans in this
Democratic year. For secretary of

WATERWORKS PIPE LINE
LAID ACROSS THE RIVER

The four-inch pipe line. which
Messrs. vanBuskirk and Fuller have
been engaged in laying across the
river to the Hot Springs addition in
South Canon for several weeks, was
completed on Saturday and will be
available for use by water consumers
in the course of few days. Consid-
erable difficulty was experienced by
the contractors in laying the pipe un-
der the river bed on account OF the
current. but Il was finally overcome
by the construction of a temporary
dam to divert the flow OF water from
its regular channel. II is anticipated
that there will he dozen or more
patrons of the Canon City water sys-
tom on the south side of the river in
tho course of the next twelve months.

SAYS JOHNSTONe'S DEATH
WAS QUE TO CARELESSnESS

A. l.. Frisbie. who was a visitor to
the aviation field at Overland park
In Denver a few minutes after Ralph
Johnstone was killed last Thursday.
says the accident was the result in
a very large measure, at least. of
reeklessness on the part of the un-
fortunate man. In making a spiral
ascent Johnstone, according TO Mr..
Frishie, restricted the circle of his
operations in such a manner as to
aefy the law OF gravity and came to
grief in consequence, He drove his
machine at times when 1t tipped down
ward at an angle of eighty degrees
or more. causing it to fall directly to
the earth in conformity with the law
OF nature.
Johnstone lost his hold on the ma
chine and fell to the ground in ad-
vance OF his plane. there being a dis
tance of twenty-five feet or more be-
tween him and the machine at the
time OF his impact with terra firma.
The plane fell directly upon him and
it's weight cut and lacerated his body
in the most horrible manner. Mr..
Frisbie says that flying seems to be
an easy matter and that the achieve
ments OF the aviators at Denver last
week fully carried out his pre-con-
ceived ideas OF aerial navigation. The
planes at a height of five hundred
feet resemble gigantic birds with out
stretched pinions and when seen fol
the first time present a scene not
soon forgotten. When Johnstone's
machine fell at Overland park it look
cd like n huge bird dropping to tbs
earth with a broken wing.
