INCUBATOR EXPERIENCE

In operating the incubator, my blun-
der the first year supplied me with
some knowledge for my second year,
says a correspondent of Farm and
Ranch. Whatever make of incubator
is used, care must be taken to become
thoroughly acquainted with the ma
chine before the eggs are put in it. 1t
is advisable for person not familiar
with the use of an incubator to run the
machine empty two or three days be-
fore filing it. After eggs are put in,
changes should be made with the great.
est care for fear of extreme results.
Instructions are sent out with every
machine, but some points are not en-
phasized quite strongly enough for
amateurs. To be sure incubator and
fixtures are plumb, use a spirit level.
Eggs to be used for incubation must
be gathered at regular intervals, kept
in fairly warm place and turned
daily until placed in the incubator.
This is done to prevent germs adhering
to the side of shell. The sooner an
egg goes into the incubator after being
laid, the better. 1 try to have them
not over five days old.
Thoroughly disinfect incubator after
each hatch to prevent white diarrhoea
and other diseases. l use formaldc
hyde gas. Place incubator in an un.
used room and close every opening in
it. Put in trays, place thickly folded
cloth inside, pour five cents' worth Of
the drug on the cloth, close door and
leave over night. Air before setting.
After three days, / turn eggs for
first time. Eggs will lose their heat in
few minutes at beginning of incuba-
tion. I cool them down to 90 degrees.
but, as the hatch advances they hold
heat longer and will require more time
to air, usually 80 minutes twice dai]v.
The thermometer should be placed
between two fertile eggs. An infer.
tile egg, or one containing dead germ,
is colder than one having live en-
bryo. Such eggs will mislead the oper-
ator as to the regittration of the
heat
The third day, the circulation of the
blood is quite vigorous; blood vessels
are formed and, being at such deli
cate stage, rough handling at this time
will rupture or break these thread
like veins and a dead germ is the re-
suit. Over-heating at this period is
more disastrous than at any other time
run the incubator at 1O3 degrees,
with all the ventilators open wide and
plenty of moisture.

ROARING FORK sTocKMEN MEET

The schedule of prices for stock kill

the association. This schedule was ev-

who have secured its approval by the
board Of state stock inspectors. 1t
provides prices from $3.50 to $50 fo-
stock killed by trains. The stoekmen
at CarbOndaie repudiated the railroad
scheme by a practically unanimous
vote.

HOW TO GROW THE BEST
PRIZE WINNING TOMATOES
lBy c. 2. Bowlesbyl


Mech attention has been paid, of
late years, to the cultivation of smau
fruit and vegetables. In the vicinity
of large cities, in many instances, veg
etables can be handled with the resul.
of making most profitable business
In gardening vegetables, like grains,
order to get the best results.
The secret of how to grow first class
tomatoes is here explained in a few
words. This method of cultivating to-
matoes does away with all the uncer-
tainties, and assures you good crop.
When properly cultivated you will
have no small scrawny tomatoes; they
will have fine flavor, be free from rot,
will be bright colored, clean, and can
be gathered from the vines like picking
apples from tree.
Before l struck upon this plan l
would often have tomatoes of poor
quality; sometimes they would be
tasteless, then again, they would nearly
til rot on the vines before maturing. A
good crop does not all depend upon the
soil, for at times | would have almost
an entire failure on rich ground, would
have all vines and not tomatoes. The
new method is sure crop, for fifteen
consecutive years not one failure, and
have had abundance of prize winning
tomatoes every season.
Select a good piece of ground, and
use plenty of fertilizer; plow or spade
deep, and when ready to set out the
plants, mark off in rows two feet one
way and four feet the other way, which
will admit of cultivation as long as the
season lasts. After ground is marked
off, place stakes or small poles in the
ground not less than five feet high for
each tomato plant. In choosing the
plants do not select tree tomatoes, as
they are not prolific, but pick out some
good smooth mealy variety, then place

stake about four inches from stake,
train same to stake as it grows, and
tie same to stake, using binder twinc
or cloth strings, which is preferable.
Many times when the vines are very
rank two branches will start to grow
from the top of the vine, but clip one
on, allowing only one to grow to a
height of five feet, then clip the tops,
and keep them clipped, which will has
ten the ripening and convert all the
strength of the vine into tomatoes.
When the plants are about eight or
ten inches high little runners or shoots
will appear in the forks of the plants.
Here is where the secret lies. These
runners sap the main vine and turn
all the strength into vines instead of
tomatoes. When these little runners

LESS HENS AND MORE EGGS

Many flock of poultry is too large
for the feed, range and room they
have, and for this reason alone are
Improbable. Often flock of seventy
five or hundred hens do not lay as
many eggs as thirty-ffve or forty
would with the same surroundings and
feed. Adding to the flock, like adding
more acres to the farm, will not make
up for poor management. Many think
they can increase the egg-yield by
adding birds, when they would get
these results much sooner by doing the
very reverse.

THE "BACK-TO-THE-
FARM MOVEMENT

Carrying out the ideas of ex-Presi-
dent Roosevelt that the dulness an
monotony of farm life has driven num-
bers of young persons from the rural
communities to the large cities, num-
Der of the leading public men of tina
country have formed a commission to
plan model community that will bring
farmers in closer relation. To this end'
Governor Marion E. Hay of the state
OF Washington, has called a meeting Of
the advocates of Improvement in agri.
cultural conditions to take place 10
Spokane in November. Prof. L. H.
Bailey of Ithica, N. Y, who has made
an exhaustive study of farming condi-
tions in the eastern states, together
with Colonel Roosevelt, will be present
at the meeting. One of the plans to
be discussed is the establishment of a
model community center and a consoli-
dated country school in several of the
larger farming districts of the country,
the expense Of which is to be borne by
the state in which located.
This is to be the preliminary step
of nationwide movement, in an en-
deavor to teach the youth of the land
the fundamental principles of agricul-
tural and domestic economy and man
ual and industrial training, also giving
thp farmnrc in tho H..
benefit of the most approved methods of
agriculture and allied subjects. Th,
community center is designated to fur.
nish place where men and women eau
meet for the interchange of ideas.
Primarily, the school is for the aver.
age boy and girl, whose institutional
education ends even before they finish
the secondary school. The purpose is
to train them to become useful men
and women, capable of supporting them.
selves, and thus adding to the wealth
production of the country at large and
the districts in which they live.
The Washington commission has pre-
pared tentative plans for a community
center, including a consolidated rural
school. 1t is designed to cover ten
acres, and will serve a school area Of
36 square miles, the most distant point
being three miles. In addition to the
school building the plans show large
community hall, residence for the prin-
cipal and supervisor, athletic and play
grounds, tennis court, pressure water
tanks for domestic, lawn, irrigation,
stock and fire uses and plots for the
practice of agriculture, horticulture,
Horticulture and forestry.
"This may be termed back to tho
farm movement, the necessity of which
is becoming more apparent every day."
said one of the promoters of the mov,-
ment. "We need more men and women
on the farms; in fact, it would be bet
ter for the nations prosperity if 65 per
cent instead of 35 per cent of the popu-
lation as at present, were tilling the
soil, milking the cows and setting hens
The open country, however, is not the
solution Of the out-ofwork problem,
for, unless instructed in some branch
of agriculture and keenly interested in
the work, the average man is worse off
in the country than in the throngcd
city,"
