ELECTRIC CHICKS is LATEST
Brood Is Hatehed by Placing Bulbs in
Ordinary Incubator-As Lively
as Any Others.

Towanda, Pa.-Not satisfied with
being first in butter production in the
north tier, Towanda has the first
brood of chickens ever Matched by
electricity in the state. and perhaps
In the country. 1t all came about
through the ingenuity of Clarence
Braund. poultry expert, who is en-
ployed by local Illuminating com
pany.
He conceived the idea of substitute
ing the electric bulb for the uncertain
Kerosene lamp, which causes SO MANY
disasters because of the risk of its
starting fire. overheating or going
out.
Taking common incubator. he sim
ply wired It and used electric bulbs
instead for heating, and the result was
very satisfactory. All of the eggs but
one Matched out. The temperature
was kept even night and day without
any attention on his part. and the
chicks are as lively as any ever
Matched.
So pleased is the Illuminating com.
pany with the experiment that it has
the chicks in the display window of
Its office. It is likely that the old
method OF using lamps for heat will
be relegated and that chickens of the
future Will be Matched by the steady
current from the main plant.
