TO START FIRST INCUBATOR
Directions Followed Closely VIII Re-

Rv BESSIE L. PUTNAM

(By BESSIE l.. PUTNAM
1t is ready to work at any and all
+. easons; the oil to run 1t costs less
than the food for hens doing the same
amount of work; there is no trouble
from vermin; broilers can be pro-
duced early without interrupting biddy
when laying her highest priced eggs;
the care of the incubator is less work
than that of the hens to do its work,
especially during the inclement sea-
son, and Is more agreeable. These
are some of the arguments in favor
of the incubator.
On the other hand, reliable hen
will produce fewer cripples. and per-
haps have better success If the eggs
happen to not be perfectly fresh; yet
on this point science is making rapid
strides.
While it should nc' be necessary
to sit up nights with the incubator,
neither is 1t wise to treat it like a
clock-to be wound up once day and
left to itself for the remainder of the
time.
A cellar is apt to be damp and lack
ventilation. A chamber makes too
much running up and down stairs. II
possible have 1t in a room adjoining
the one where the work is done.
Good results come. If the kitchen
is large enough, by placing the ma
chine in one corner. Many successful
poultry women give it place in the
living-room, and even the parlor may
be used, as there is nothing insight
ly or untidy about the work save the
day or two during the Matching pro-
cess.
Before buying, secure catalogues
from several reliable dealers, study
carefully the claims of the manufac-
turers and your own requir 7ments.
| Avoid the cheapest machine of any
make. AS rule it is so small that 1t
is difficult to secure uniformity of
temperature in the egg chamber.
The nursery, an important adjunct,
Is usually lacking in the smallest ma
chimes. If one of the largest size is
chosen it will be found cumbersome:

dation and remember that good ven
tilation and avoidance of drafts are as
necessary to the chick in embryo as
to the human being.
The experienced hand ALWAYS runs
an incubator a day or two before fill
ing, to make sure that the parts are
working properly. The novice with q
new machine should not feel II time
lost to wait until three days after she
has learned to control the heat al

germs are especially sensitive during

will ruin the entire hatch.

Answers to Queries

DEW-Subscriber City Does the dew de-
psited on the surface of bodies close to the top
OF tIe earth come from the ground or does it
fall from above?
Dew is atmospheric vapor condensed
and deposited. For any assigned tenn
perature of the atmosphere there is a
certain quantity of aqueous vapor
which is capable of holding in suspen-
sion at given pressure. Conversely,
for any assigned quantity of aqueous
vapor held in suspension in the atmos-
phere there Is a minimum temperature
at which it can remain so suspended
this is called the dew point. During
the daytime, especially if there has
been sunshine. good deal of aqueous
Vapor Is taken into suspension in the
atmosphere. II the temperature in the
evening falls below the dew point,
which, after hot and calm day, gen
orally takes place about sunset. the
vapor which can no longer be held in
suspension is deposited on the surface
of the earth and things on it. some
times visibly falling in fine mist, The
surface OF the earth and all things upon
1t, especially the smooth vegetable sur
faces, are constantly parting with their
heat by radiation. If the sky is cloudv.
the radiation sent back from the clouds
nearly supplies an equivalent for the
heat parted with; but if the sky be
clear no equivalent is supplied and the
surface of the earth and things upon it
become colder than the atmosphere. If
the night be calm also. the small por-
tion of air contiguous to any of
these surfaces will become cooled below
the dew point, and its moisture de-
posted on the surface in the form of
dew That is, the moisture which in
the air has existed >as a water yapor
is condensed upon the cooler surface
