low, generally sufficient moisture Is
present. Notice how the chicks are
coming out, whether wet or dry, and
be governed accordingly. If some
of the eggs pip and chicks seem un-
able to get out, 1t Is generally cans
ed by lack Of moisture. Take a
woolen rag, cut into strips four in
ches one way and six inches the
other, dampen in warm water, roll
eggs In, leaving ends open and re-
place in machine, and nine times out
of ten they will hatch. However, If
some don't. take the head of pin
and chip off shell around the end in
which the head of chick lies, be-
ing careful not to break the men,
brane and causing chick to bleed :;
replace in cloth and incubator and
the chances are that it will hatch.
Don't get discouraged and throw
away the eggs because your lncuba-
tor allows them to get either too
cold or too hot, unless you have rea-
son TO believe they have been that
way for long while. If apparently
cold through and through, heat some
water to ll2 degrees Fahrenheit and
pour in shallow pan, place eggs in
pan, not allowing them to be com
plctcly covered by the water; let
them stay in three to five minutes,
and generally chicks will be found
0. *. Some authorities claim that
chicks under such conditions will not
hatch into strong, vigorous stock, but
this has not been our experience, and
we think it hurts them less to get
too cool than too hot
DO not be running to and opening
your incubator every few minutes.
Good matches are not secured that
way. Four or five times per day is
amply sufficient. After they begin
to hatch the less they are disturbed
the better off they are.
If you want early Matched pullets
and they are the kind that are
proftable-by all means get an in
cubator.

Hntching Chicks With Tncubators.

This Is Il much discussed question.
You can hardly pick up poultry
| journal of any kind without reading
| something on the subject, and what
makes it most perplexing to an am
ateur Is the fact that almost every
writer has his own method; or,
rather, about the same difference eX-
lists between the methods of each as
there Is between the different makes
OF incubatOrs. The basic principle is
the same, but each has some little
difference to which success is at
tributed. One runs his incubator at
the same temperature throughout the
incubating period, one runs ii at so
much the first, so mucM the second,
and little higher the third. Some
think it should never be run lower
lam l02 degrees nor higher than
iO3 and so on ad infnitum.
We have been running incubators
for about seven years and have used
several different makes, and as far
as We can see, If run correctly-and
as a general rule that means accord
ing to directions furnished by the
makers-~-at least until you have had
some experience, they will all give

slider some Of them superior to 9TH

to hot water machine because it is
more easily regulated, and we also
perfer an all-metal to wooden or
part wood machine, because, where
house in which to operate the incu-
bator, the danger from fire is les
scned. We had one experience with
a wooden incubator catching fire and
it was Just luck that the house was
not burned down.
Our advice to a beginner Just
thinking Of investing in an incuba-
tor is to get a small capacity ma

bator to a large one for several rea-
sons: First, we have found them

Not one dollar was turned into thc

1t is expected that the final meet

first Second, you have all your
| troubles concentrated, not having to
run here there and yonder, looking
after this or that old hen. All you
| have to do is to keep your lamp
burning and trimmed, turn and cool
! your eggs once a day, and watch your
thermometer to see that the temper
ature does not run too high or go
too low; and while that sounds like
a good deal to do, 1t Is all a matter
of acquiring the habit OF attending to
them at certain time. After you
acquire the knack OF regulating
flame and regulator you can almost
anticipate any condition that is liza
, bic to occur in twelve hours.
After YOU have bought your incu-
bator and have it set up, lamp filled
and wick trimmed, run it for twelve
hours to get machine thoroughly
| warmed up. keep it as near l02 de-
srccs as possible. When it runs
evenly at l02 degrees place eggs in,

YOU all day 10 watch it and correct
any tendency of temperature to run
too high or too low. Now regulate
to run 1912 degrees and allow to re-
main al that for first week. Don't
be alarmed if some morning you find
temperature down to 92 or even
lower The chances are the hatch is
not injured, and the thing % is
to get it back to normal as 500 as
possible, or even a little higher will
be better to make up for the low
temperature. We have had the lamps
to so out and eggs to get cold, and
then turn out a very satisfactory
hatch which did we'll. For the sec

turc is liable to run up to 104 or
105, or even higher, just before
Matching. Don't take eggs out Of
the Incubator, but cool by lowering
flame. turning entirely out if neces-
sary. Frequently the chicks scramb-
ling out Of the shells create enough
animal heat to keep the temperature
up without it.
The question Of moisture or no
moisture is a hard one for which to
lay down any hard and fast rule for
amateurs to be governed by, as every
hatch has its own conditions to be
met, ~ great deal depends upon the
