set forth in these columns several
weeks ago, we consume. on an average.
36.O0o.oO0 eggs daily in the United
States alone. and American memories
are supplying quite three-fourths Of
this number. there being vast impor-
tations of eggs from Europe to supply
our ever increasing demands. So don't
be afraid of overproduction, but rather
get yourself an incubator and join the
vast army and help produce those
early pullets that lay before winter
sets in.
History of the Incubator.
The modern incubator was intro
duced about twenty years ago. Like
| the automobile, it has improved year
by year. until 1t is no longer an en-
pertinent, and natcnng of chickens b.
| artificial means has been reduced to
a certainty, and you will find very few
modern poultry keepers who still try
| to do without them. / am surprised to
| find that quite few farmers G reckon
our mutual friend and editor OF the
| Industrial Section would call them
mossbacks) still have the idea thai
| incubators are mysterious contrlv-
ance or tom-foolery. ! suppose the
expense of buying machine also
helps to deter him. Being accus-
toned to a hen as hatcher. he rather
resents the idea OF paying for some
| thing which he has always had done
| for nothing. Anoth.r point they argue
is sitting up nights and watching the
| machine.
This is all rot. for the less you worry
and fool with the incubator the better
work 1t will do for you. 1t has got to
be a mighty poor machine that won't
| pay for itself in one season, and 5

instructions and uses common sense.

Where TO Place IAcubators.
| There are few things you can do
to help increase your hatcnes. One
is to place your incubator In the cell
\ lar See that the cellar has ventila-
| ton of some kind The advantage OF
the cellar is that the temperature does
not fluctuate as much as in living
rooms or sheds. etc. The incubator is
made to maintain uniform heat, and
should not be made to fight against q
great fluctuation OF heat surrounding

workinr the Incubntor.

Maintaining an even heat In the
machine is, OF course, necessary. Many
poor matches are the result OF too
much heat, especially in the beginning
of the hatch For the first week the
temperature ought not to be over
1O2 1-2 degrees. After the first week
the avera ge of 1O3 degrees should be
kept up to and including the twenty
first day. at the end Of which all
chicks ought to be out.
No matter how much you coddle and
fret with chicks that hatch after the
twenty-first day you will never get
any good results from them. I've see.
chicks that came ont late on the
twenty-second day given to mother
hen and given the best of care and
still never thrive There Is some Pc
culiar law of nature l suppose In this,
and it brings us back to the Survival
Of the fittest" You will always find
the chicks that pin the shell on the
twentieth day make the lusty little
fellows that hustle and grow.
Testing the EGGS.
The most important point In tho
DEVELOPMENT of the germ Is the ar
cells. In fact, the development OF the
air cell decides your hatch whether 1t
will be good or bad. Air increases Its
development. while moisture ret lrds It.
This question of mo,-rure Is the bug
bear of most beginners, and is brought
about mostly. In my estimation. by the
different Incubator manufacturers
claiming they had the moisture prob.
lem lust right In their machines, Don't
worry over this part Of It at all. I've
done great deal of experimenting In
the last few yeas and invariably
have had the best matches when ]
did not bother with water pans, wet
sponges, etc. I believe that sprinklins
the eggs with warm water on the
nineteenth day does lot do any harm
hut also believe you Will do Just as
we'll without It, After few chicks
have worked their way out of the
shell they create kind of damp air
both through breathing and with their
wet little bodies. This dampness gets
more intense as more OF them wdrl;

wenkllngs that can't break through
then are not worth while saving Will

eral hours. but Just as soon as you
do this YOU destroy tho chance OF
probably half dozen or more other
chicks by allowing the cold air to
rush into your machine, The best rule
to follow is to go away and let the

better than you can, and will save
you lots of worry. When you go and

the largest attendance i'm the
party's history. The meeting
organized with Lee r.. Greer. of
Pound, as temporary chairman,
and Harry +. Whitehead, of
lnman, as temporary secretary.
Committees on resolutions and
permanent organizations were

latter's nomination TO succeed
himself in congress.

RAPID PROGRESS
BEING MADE

Work on the Holston River
Railroad between Persia and
Moccasin Gap is progressing
nicely, and it is expected that
1t will be completed and ready
for traffic by the first or the
middle of September, says the
Bristol News.
The new line will be AZ miles
IN length, and will take the
Southern Railway Co. into one
of the richest coal fields in
Virginia.
Very little of the grading re
mains to be completed, and
much of the track has been laid
and baliasted. When completed
this road will have cost from
100000 to 81, 900, 900, and will
be one OF the finest pieces OF
track in this section of the
country.

There was no note OF discord
throughout the entire proceed
ings. and the Republican party
leaders claim that "A threatened
detection of some ninety votes
has been SO arranged that il
Will not amount TO more than
twenty, which, they claim. will
be the least in ten years. They
predict "a better majority for
their party in the county this
year than in 1906, when r.. u.
Bruce, of Wise, was the Demo
cratic candidate.
The attendance was estimated
at 500 voters, and among them
was noticed many of the old
leaders who have for some years
past has been occupying places
IN the rear. This was the sub
Ject OF much favorable com
ment among the present lead
