HATCHING
of incubators for Matching winter
chicks is not particularly profitable.
The second important advantage
claimed for incnbatorS is that of sav
ing labor. or. in other words they en-
able one person to hatch Il much larger
number of chicks than would be pos
sible with the use of hens. This claim
is worthy Of consideration. 1t is, in
fact. the chief reason why incubators
have gained their present standing.
AS to the percentage of hatching
and the vitality Of the chicks, the aver
age incubator. especially in tho hands
of the novice. will hardly equal the
natural methods The writer made an
extensive study of the results obtained
with incubators by Kansas farmers
The results showed that about as many
farmers failed with incubators as sue
ret.ded with them.
The percentage of eggs that hatch
either in incubators Or with hens is
commonly overestimated. Fhe cNiraor
dinary matches at poultry shows are
usually arranged by setting two incn
bators and testing out the live eggs
just before Matching and putting them
in the one machine. A GO per cent
hatch Of all eggs set for the season is
good enough. Many very large and
successful poultry farms have lower
averages. The advisability Of purvhaS
ing an incubator will depend upon many
circumstances. All those who breed
Leghorns will require incubators. With
the Plymouth Rocks. Wyando'tes or
Rhode Island Reds ! should favor
Matching with hens until the poultry
work grows to such size that this be

Eggs For Hatch;ne.
There are many superStiilouS no
tions prevalent regarding the relation
of the shape Of an egg to its vitality

should be stored in cool. dry Location
and shifted or rolled about occasion

Eggs exposed to freezing tempera

retain their vitality. but it is general
considered best to keep them at a ten
perature between 40 and 20 degree:
If kept too warm eggs dry out rapit

good rule is not to set eggs over tW
