INVOLVED IN COAL DEAL.
Speculation as to Who Hunt
ington Attorneys Acted
for in Purchase of
Pike County
Lands.

A big deal in coal lands was
stecenlly contaminated in Pike

Amson and Donald Clark, Of
Huntington, w Va, took up
options on between 80, 900 and
410,O0O acres lying on the wat
srf- of Blackberry and Pond
screeks
& lhe purchase price represents
an outlay of nearly one million
alollars, as it is understood that
ahe lowest price paid was $25
Bier acre. Included in this acre.
,age are all the holdings of the
.Koontz brothers on Blackberry.
lin fact Messrs. Vinson and
.Clark are said to have secured
Cain Of the land on Black berry
with the exception of few
small tracts and that which
twas i'm the lease of the now
.defunct Pike Galleries Co.
There has been a great deal
.ot speculation MS to what part
lies Mcssrs. Ninson and Clark
acted for, and one report has il
THAT the purchaser is the United
States Coal and Oil Company
THE superintendent of this COM
.pany's operation at Holden was
ia the party that inspected the
lands few days ago. Another
report is that Senator Watson
aud Hon j. G.. G., Mayo are in
ierosted

chase was mnde for the purpose
Of development as bill was
recently put through congress
authorizing the construction Of
a bridge across Tug River at
ihe mouth OF Blackberry. 1t is
stated also that another act was
pissed authorizing a bridge at
williamson
The Pond Creek lands in
clulcd in the deal are on the
haal of the stream, and it is
said that the coal under them
can be taken out down Black
berry But for the entire length
ol Pond Creek the hills are full
of the finest coal in the country,
aud as the dip is away from

would necessitate a road down

failure will result.
The lists are arranged so that

the only consideration being that their
expenses must be paid by the maj
who is building the silo. Some time
during the course of construction a
meeting will be held, at which the
value Of the silo and methods of han
ding and feeding silage will be dis
cussed.
The extension men will not limit
their work to any one kind Of silo,
although it is probable that most OF
the silos built under their direction
will be of the hollow block type.
The Iowa Experiment Station has
done great deal of work with this
type of silo. 1t has been found to be
durable, to keep the silage we'll, and
to be reasonable in price. Any farmer
who is thinking of building silo this
summer would do well to write to
the Extension Department at Ames
for further particulars along this line.

Directions For Operating An Incubator
By WILLIAM "A. LIPPENCOTT, Iowa Agricultural College

If you have a new machine, when
you return after two hours and find
that the temperature is way too low
and the damper has been raised,
loosen the thumb screw again and let
the damper down as before. Leave
about quarter inch play. On return.
ing the second time the temperature
is likely to be found up somewhere
around 80 degrees. In that case it
is best to be little cautious. If the
disc has not been raised increase the
fame trfie and leave the regulator
alone. If the disc damper is up, lower
it and this time leave only an eighth
of an inch play. Repeat this process
until the thermometer stands at 1O2
degrees when the thermometer bulb
is even with the top of the eggs and
the disc is quarter of an inch above
the heater. Then leave the machine
alone for least twelve hours to see
whether it can maintain the tempera-
ture.
If it is all right, put in the eggs and
Go not open the machine for two
days. Take care of the lamp in the
morning so that if the Game runs up
it will do SO in the day lime when it
will be discovered at least by noon.
Wipe or scrape away carefully any
charring on the wick and leave the
lamp perfectly clean. Do not Ill the
lamp too full and if any oil is spilled
see that the last traces of it are re-
moved. After couple of days take
the trays out on a table and shut
lie the eggs gently with the hands. See
that every egg is moved. 1t Is not
necessary that they be turned clear
over. A hen turns her eggs as many as
five times a day. We should turn them
lat least three, morning, noon and
night. Before putting the trays back
in the machine turn them end for end.
If one side of the machine is cold
this will give the eggs the same
chance and bring an evener hatch. II
there are two trays, change them
from side to side every other time
you turn the eggs, turning them from
end to end the other times. Always
look at the machine before retiring to
see that everything is all right.
On the third day cool the eggs.
Place them on table so that the edge
of the tray does not extend beyond
the table Eggs beyond the edge Of
the table will cool too fast. To tell
when the eggs are cool enough place
them against the eye ball or lips.
When they begin to feel cool put them
back in the machine. Cool once a
day until the 18th day. At first it
will take a very few minutes to cool
them down. Toward the end of the
match it will take twenty minutes to
half an hour. If the heat ever runs
up, cool the eggs down thoroughly at
once. If done promptly this often
serves to save hatch that has been
over heated. The eggs should always
be handled and put back in the ma
chine before the lamp is touched. Any
kerosene from the hands getting on
the eggs may seriously injure the
hatch. If the temperature is off at any
time the regulator should be adjusted
before the door of the machine is
opened.

1t is impossible 20 lay down general
rules for operating incubators which
will apply to every kind OF machine
that is manufactured. There are some
general principles, however, which ap
ply to all machines and which If fol
lowed will aid in securing better
matches and stronger chicks.
One person should be responsible
for the handling of an incubator.
When two persons divide the respon,
sibility neither is certain what The
ether has done. A machine can only
be regulated intelligently when one
knows when the damper was raised
or lowered the last time and how
much.
First of all the incubator should be
In room where the temperature re-
mains fairly constant. A living room
Is seldom if ever a good place to op-
crate an incubator. A cellar will gen
orally be much better if the machine
is so placed that the sun can never
shine on it, the wind can not blow on
It, and the furnace heat or fumes can
not reach it. If the cellar is damp SO
much the better.
Before lighting the lamp the ma
chine should be made level. This may
be accomplished by the use of com
mon spirit level, and some small
blocks placed under the legs of the
machine. II one side is high the heat
will rise to that side and leave the
other side cold. II the machine has
been used before, it should be thor
oughly drenched inside with some
good sheep dip. 1t will not hurt the
eggs to put them in before the ma
chine is dry. :,"ovided the temperature

or if there sAs >yer been any white

precaution of w1ping off every ege
with 81 per cent alcohol should be
taken.
Before lighting the lamp it is an ex
cellent plan to pin two wicks togethei
sc that toward the end of the hatch
the wick may not become too short
and the lamp go out. Never start g
machine without fresh wick and
fresh oil if the machine has been used
before. Then, too, 1t is well to trim
the corners of the wick little sc
