their care will not be amiss. In buying
one ought to consider their convenience
to the operator, as we'll as comfort for
the little chicks. Heat the brooder up
day or two before you want to put the
chicks in it. Cover the floor of the nur-
sery with fine sand, then sprinkle in fine
scratching material Give the chicks
plenty of fresh water in some kind Of
fount so they will not run through it and
foul it. See that YOU have small grit in
the brooder, unless your chick feed has
grit in it; even then dish of it will
help.
Clean your brooder every day if pos
sible and give it good airing each time.
1t is necessary, of course, to trim the
wick and fill the lamp everv day for best
results. In regard to the temperature,
! have found that you have to make al
lowances sometimes and use your own
judgment. If you have strong lot of
chicks you will find they will require less
heat than hatch not blessed with that
stout, rugged appearance. Brooder man
ufacturers give directions for heating,
but in case you see your little fellows
crouching and huddling you will be safe
in running the heat little higher than
directions call for. At night when you
find the little chicks with heads sticking
out under the felt of the hover, you may
rest content that your heat is pretty
nearly right, whether it be ninety de-
grees or more.
There are many who still believe that
chicks raised by the natural method-the
hen = will develop much better than
brooder-reared chicks, but have failed
to notice a difference. Some fanciers
swear by the artificial method, others
swear by the natural method I would
say, let the beginner start with the old
hen, and then, after he gains experience
he can take a swing with the incubator
and brooder-A E. Vandervort, in
Farm and Fireside.
The Florida agriculturist., 1910-03-01

1t has not been so very many years
since eggs were selling in the spring
throughout all the west central States
for 10 cents a dozen, and in the extreme
eastern and western sections Of the
United States they were down to 20
and 25 cents. Quite a change though
in late years, especially so the last two
years. Chickens have been so scarce
and the price so high that I could not
have enjoyed many chicken dinners had
chicks Matched for exhibits and in my
experiments.
These good prices have come to stay.
In every part of the entire country,
poultry raising-for eggs and market
can be carried on successfully. 1t is
not much work to raise a profitable
bunch of chickens if you have good in
cubators and brooders. The work,
drudgery and disappointment comes
from raising in the old way with hens
or with cheap, unreliable machines 1t
is true, some care and patience is needed.
There is only one way you can get
money without having to do something
for it, and that is to have it left you by
a rich relative. People who are in the
poultry business find the work of hatch
ing and raising chicks and in gathering
the eggs, sending them to market, etc.,
very pleasant. Lots of people who, on
account of their health, can't do hard
work, find that the outdoor life that
poultry raising affords improves their
health, furnishes a great amount of
pleasure and yields a nice profit be-
Sides
The only way to raise chickens in
large numbers in short space of time
is to use incubators and brooders. By
use of the hen for Matching and brood
ing, enough chickens can not be raised
in a season to make poultry raising
from market standpoint materially
profitable Experienced poultry raisers
will tell you that they would rather
take care of 100 chicks in a brooder
than to care for one old hen and her
brood. You can set as many eggs in
a medium sized incubator as you can
put under ten sitting hens With mod
ern machines, you can have absolute
control at all times No lice to fight
No danger of eggs being broken or
chilled during incubation. Eggs and
chicks perfectly safe at all times. No
work at all compared with what ten
fussy old hens might cause you.
The Florida agriculturist., 1910-03-01

show chickens or market chickens
either for pleasure or profit, you will
be better satisfied if you use incuoators
and brooders. During years time
the writer receives letters from thou
sands of poultry raisers, who tell Inc
how they raise their chickens and the
methods they have found the best. If
| didn't know from my own experience
that artificial Matching and brooding
gives the best satisfaction, the letters
[ get would soon convince n@e.

lncubators or Hens?
By P. M. Wickstrum.

Taking the practical side of the poul-
try business, the biggest profit comes
to those who raise their chickens in
the .country-in the villages, suburban
towns and on the farms. Nearly all
of incubator and brooder customers live
outside the big cities and they raise
chickens TO sell to the city folks and they
make money by doing it.

POULTRY NOTES.

Reader, if you want to escape the
chicken fever don't read the incubator
catalogues.
Get at that leaky chicken house roof.
Many poultry diseases owe their origin
to leaky roof.
You can tell the minute you look at
a flock of hens whether they have been
we'll fed and cared for. The hens will
tell you, no need to ask the owner
Leg bands cost only trihe and are
useful for marking poultry. If you wish
to be sure about the age of your birds
mark them in one way or another
When ration is fed with the idea of
pushing the egg yield and the hens are
confined, poor matches are likely to be
the result
The treatment given turkeys must be
entirely different from that given to
chickens. We can learn much about
handling turkeys from others, but our
own actual experience will be worth
more to us.
A goose can lay larger egg than a
hen-but there is a big difference in
the demand for the eggs.
The flower garden may not be as
profitable as the vegetable garden, but
it will add cheer, comfort and content
ment to the home. The rest and peace
of mind afforded by strolls in the flower
garden is not to be compared with
money.
The full waterbarrel under the caves
of the house is a source of constant
danger to the occupants of the dwelling.
Mosquitoes lay their eggs in these places
and both malaria and yellow fever may
result

The Fishing Otter.

The otter used by Scottish poachers
is one Of the most deadly fishing in
struments known. In some waters
it is far more effective than a net.
It may be described as a water kite,
which serves to take out over the
water a line bearing fifty or more flies.
The otter itself is a floating piece Of
board loaded along one side to keep it
upright. The poacher walks along the
side Of the loch or river, letting out
the fly decorated line as he goes, the
otter board gradually working out
toward the center. An enormous area
Of water is f1shed at n time and
numbers Of fish are killed.

HIS TRAGIC DREAM.
A Grim Ghost Story That comss
From the Netherlands.

A Grim Ghost Story That Comes
From the Netherlands.
The following remarkable ghost
story is told Of two brothers, members
of a distinguished family in Friesland.
a province Of the Netherlands: The
young men were officers in the same
regiment, and their only fault-a GER
tain rash valor, so different from the
quiet prudence so characteristic of
their nation-made their comrades al
most idolize them.
These young officers were exceed
ingly anxious to see a ghost and took
a great deal Of pains to plunge into
all sorts of gloomy places in the hope
Of finding them tenanted by beings
from the other world. At last they
seemed to find the orthodox old castle
with its haunted room. Everybody
bore witness to the horrible sights and
sounds nightly to be e e and heard
therein, and these young gentlemen
determined to pass the night there.
1t was Christmas eve, and they pro-
vided themselves with a good supper
and a bottle of wine each, a fire, lights
and loaded pistols. The hours wore
on. No ghost was seen; no ghostly
sounds were heard. The younger
brother, wrapped closely in his warm
cloak, laid his head on the table and
J deliberately resigned himself to a COM
Portable sleep. The elder brother,
though exceedingly weary, determined
to remain awake and await the issue
of events.
After awhile a noise reused him
from a reverie into which he had fall
en-. He raised his eyes and beheld the
wall opening in front Of his seat.
Through the opening glided a tall fig
ure in white. who signed to him to
follow.
The rose and followed the figure
through long, damp, dark passages till
they reached a large, brilliantly light
ed room where a ball was going n.
Above the strains of music and the
din of voices pierced a strange, sharp,
clicking sound, like the notes Of casta-
nets.
Bewildered and dazzled by this sud-
den transition from darkness and ST.
lence to this gay festive scene, it was
some moments before he could COL
lect his senses, but he was shocked by
perceiving that these gayly dressed la
dies and their richly uniformed cava-
liers were skeletons, and the curious
sound that impressed him SO strangely
was the clicking Of leshless jaws!
The figure at his side ordered him
to take a partner from this hideous
throng, which he refused to do. Irri-
tated at this refusal, the figure raised
his arm to strike, but the officer in
stantly leveled at him the pistol be
had continued to grasp and discharged
it full in his face.
With the shock and report he started
to his feet. The white figure, the ball.
room, the fearful, CHASTITY dancers, all
had vanished, and he was in the room
where he had supped, but his brother
lay dying at his side.
He had shot him in his dream and
awakened only to receive his last ut:
terance. From that awful Christmas
night be was an altered man. AL
the gayety had gone out of his life
all the sunshine had faded from his
days, and after a few years Of I'M
vailing anguish Of remorse he found
himself unable to bear the burden
Of his regrets and put an end to his
