CARBON ploxloE LAMP FUMES

CARBON DloxlDE LAMP FUMES.
You never smelIed carbon dloxide ?
That's just those old lamp fumes that
kill germs In incubator eggs or make
eggs hatch anaemic chicks that quick
turn up their toes. Incubators run by
electricity, of course, are free from
this deadly element, but where kero-
sene lamps are used, unless precau-
tons are taken, this gas gets in its
work. One lamp makes enough, but
think how the air may be contaminat-
ed where twenty to sixty are burning.
There are two ways by which this de-
structive gets to the eggs. Some incu-
bator heaters leak lamp fumes right
into the egg chamber and when their
lamps smoke SCOT pours In on the eggs
and even blackens them and clogs the
air passages. These are mostly the
cheap, claptrap machines, whose heat
ers are not Tapped, scanned, riveted or
soldered properly. They are fire traps,
and their successive failures often dis
courage the amateur ana rudely wreck
his beautiful hot air castles.
A good heater throws all fumes into
the room, or these fumes are piped
from the heater to the outer air
Many neglect to ventilate the incu-
bator room where the lamp throws of
this gas, and 1t is carried into the egg
chamber. and the embryo has no
chance for normal and successful de-
velopment. Thus the germ dies early
AND rots, the chick sticks in the shell,
or the chick that matches is worthless.
