tanned 10 the incubator room it will
greatly decrease the work of tending
the machines.
When a hatch is coming off the
temperature of the room should be
raised to 70 degrees, and ii there are
no other incubator5 running in the
room except those that are Matching
l would raise the temperature six or
eight degrees higher still. When this
is done the incubators may be opened
when necessary without chilling the
eggs or newly Matched chicks; and,
instruction books to the contrary, it
is always necessary to open the
doors of the incubators when a hatch
is finishing. I find it good thing
to cover the floor of my incubator
house with sand and to wet down the
sand under machine throughout the
last week of the hatch Of that par
ticular machine. For added expe-
rience confirms me in the belief that in
this Northwest climate more moisture
is required that the makers of the in
cubators seem to think necessary. L
am not sure that | know the reason
for this, so will just let 1t 60 as a
statement of fact. 1t must be borne

If incubators are run SO early in
the season it is best to run them in
room that can be heated when neces-
sary a little above the natural tenn
perature. If but one incubator is
used a bed room is the best place for
it. 1t is less trouble TO look after it
and the temperature is not so vari-
able, or so high at times, as in the
average sitting room. When several
machines are run, and in a place
specially provided for the purpose,
facilities of some kind should be pro-
vided for raising the temperature
when necessary. If the incubator
room is a small one a coal oil heater
answers the purpose nicely; and the
writer has used them for this purpose
with exceedingly satisfactory results.
When heat is to be supplied to large
building the distillate burners used
for room brooding answer the purpose
nicely One of the the distillate
stoves is in use in an incubator house

in mind that most artificial processes
succeed IN proportion to their ability
to duplicate ideal natural conditions.
No trouble is experienced by the
wild fowl in bringing off good matches,
and the larger varieties of wild fowl
make their nests upon the ground;
and, in this climate, the eggs are
we'll supplied with moisture.
Ventilation another serious prob
lem. No doubt many poor matches
have this for principal cause. The
air in an Incubator room should
always be fresh and pure. No odors
should be noticeable on entering the
room. The big incubator lamps burn
up the oxygen in the air pretty fast
and liberal ventilating facilities are
needed to Offset this. This being
understood it is for each one of us to
work out the mechanics of his own
problem. AS to airing the eggs as
the hatch progre sses the airing is in
creased and as general thing the
manufacturers instructions call for
too little airing But at no time
should the eggs be allowed to get
stone cold; and when, during the last
week of the hatch, half hours air
ing is desirable, care should be taken
to have the temperature of the room
high enough to prevent the chilling
of the eggs in that space OF time.
Some personal experience and oo-
seryation must be had before these
matters will be understood. AS we'll
expect a man to read a book on shoe
making and then sit down and make
himself a nicely fitting pair of shoes
off hand, as to expect him to run IN
cubators properly at the first attempt.
When testing eggs make a hole in
the wall the size OF quarter dollar
and hold the eggs before it. Do this
during the daylight hours, preferably
at turning time. Every day during
the hatch a few eggs should be taken
from each machine and the size OF

this practice is persistently followed,
the operator will be able to tell at a
glance if air and moisture in proper
quantities are being supplied. This
is another one of those things that

1t is asserted in the complaint that

JuRIEs WON'T CONVICT
Court Unable to Get a Verdict
Against Lynchers

Court Unable 10 Get Nerolct
Against Lynchers
Philadelphia, May 4-The lynch
ing OF Zach Walker at Coatesville,
near Westchester, Pa, on the night
of August 10, 1911, when he was
burned after he had been arrested for
the killing of special policeman,
probably will go unpublished despite
the unusual efforts made by the state
of Pennsylvania to bring to justice
the leaders of the mob. After a
jury had brought in verdict of not
guilty yesterday in the case of Lew
is Denithorne, one of the six men
accused of participating in the lynch.
ing who had not yet been tried, the
commonwealth asked for the acquit-
tai of the other five defendants. The
accused men were then discharged.
Among them were Chief OF Police
Umsted of Coatesville and Stanley
Howe, a policeman. who we're charg-
ed with manslaughter and neglect OF
their duties.
The commonwealth reason for
asking for the acquittals was that 1t
was unable to obtain convictions be-
cause of the state OF mind of the
people OF the county. Last fall six
men were acquitted by juries. Then
the commonwealth sought change
OF venue, which was denied. In dis
missing the cases yesterday, Judge
Butler made a scathing address from
the bench, In which he deplored the
condition of the public mind in Ches-
ter county. He added that at the
outset of the trials he had anticlpa-
ted no trouble in procuring jurors to
act, because OF what he supposed
was an incensed state OF feeling
against the perpetrators of the lynch
ing, He regarded the outcome OF the
trials as a public calamity to law
and order OF the state.

FLABBlNEss IN PUPILS
Developed, Says German Expert, BY
the American School System

OCNclOpCuf Gays ASiiHoh GNf~'H -
the American School System
That the American public school
system, in spite of its many excellen-
cies. tends to develop effeminacy and
flabbiness in pupils, is the conclusion
reached by Dr. George Kerschensteln-
err. the noted German educator, VINO
has been making a study recently OF
schools in various parts OF the Uni
ted States. His general impressions,
nevertheless are complimentary.
There are certain broadly cultural
influences in the American schools
which he thinks are missing in the
German system and which are worthy
of emulation. That American pupils,
particularly boys, are being subject
ed to harmful 'softening" process,
however. he considers certain. The
cause, he thinks, lies partly in the
employment of methods which make
the pupils tasks too easy and part
ly in the lack of man teachers.
Boys in the four lower grades,
he says, may well be left in the
hands of women teachers. The up
per grades should unquestionably be
under men, who understand the ma
ture of the boy better than women do.
The boy should in many cases be
much more firmly and vigorously han
died than is possible for a woman. 1t
is doubtless the overflling of the
schools with women teachers that is
effeminizing the process OF character
building and weakening the pupils
respect for authority. We may be
thankful that our German system is
still directed far more toward hard
work and the fulfllment of disagree
able tasks than is the American sys-
