P)U[IRY
SOME POINTS ON INCUBATOR
Beginner VIII Be Greatly Aided In
Management Of Machine by OBJ
serving Rules Given Herewith.

The following points in the man.
agement of an incubator may be help
full to the beginner:
Set the machine perfectly level to
insure perfect ventilation and efficient
working of all the heating apparatus.
Do not place the working machine
In a north or west room, II possible. A
south or east room Is preferred.
The incubator should be in a room
where there Is fire at no time or fire
at all times.
In a cold room the eggs must be
aired when the temperature is above
so degrees or chilling will result.
Fresh air and some moisture are
necessary for successful incubation,
and these are supplied by the ventila-
ted device Of every incubator.
Incubator doors should be made OF
double glass and fit neatly to avoid
loss of heat.
A machine of from so to 100 egg
capacity Ia about right for the begin
mel. 1t Is large enough for practical
purposes and not 30 large as to aus
confusion.
Avoid excess Of temperature and
absence of moisture in the in
which the incubator is located.
Fill and trim the lamp daily and
use a wick OF sufficient width so that
a low blaze will produce the neces-
sary heat.
Let n person only attend to the
Incubator and give 1t attention at
least twice each day.
Keep the lamp burner and bowl
free from oil and other foreign mat
ter.
Eggs are overheated at 10 degrees,
but 1t will take ten to twenty-four
hours to kill them. according to how
the Matching point they are.
Eggs can be considered chilled
when the heat falls to so degrees or
below. They will still hatch. however.
II not kept cold too long-say not
twenty-four hours-but it al
hurts them more or less. and it
Ia best never to let them cool below
70 degrees under any circumstances.
Investigation shows that the sitting
hen imparts a temperature to the
eggs varying from ITO degrees at the
outside OF the nest to los degrees in
the center. the average temperature
being 103 degrees, hence 103 degrees
is the temperature at which an incuba-
tor should be run.
Many of our choicest market fowls,
as well Is show prize winners, were
Matched. which disproves
the notion that artificial incubation
produces weak chicks.
Turn the eggs daily, yet 1t Is not
necessary to turn them all
alike.
The attachment which gives a
signal when the temperature
beyond the danger limit is a
good device and relieves one of much
care.
When the chicks are nearly ready
20 hatch the inside temperature of
he machine will rise and the heating
must be regulated, as less
heat Is needed then than at the begin
1ing of incubation.
Give attention to details, learn the
workings OF your machine. and don't
worry. Let the machine do the work.
Let the chicks stay in the incubator
without food from t%wenty-four to for.

New York. n. Y, Dec. 27.-SpecuIa-

diverted to the specialties, owing TO
the continued sluggishness Of the

quiet during the morning.
Trading continued to be on a small
scale with an absence of aggressive
tactics by operators on either side.

better in the second hour, but buying

Selected stocks responded to manipu-
