It was a special train that took US
across this great empire, and that train

those of the ship and the passengers

NO PETITION FILED

The meeting called by President
Joy OF the Industrial Association to
discuss the switching rates now In eff
feet in Keokuk was attended by very
few members and little interest was
shown in the statement that Keokuk
merchants were being held up by the
railroads.
The object of the meeting was to
bring out the advisability of getting a
petition ready TO file with the rail
road commission when they meet in
Des Moines on March 9Th The
shippers OF that city have already
filed their petition for relief from ex-
horbitant switching rates and it will
be heard at the commissions meet
ing on that date.
After President Joy had read the
section of the Iowa code pertaining to
that particular question it was the
opinion of everybody that the ship
pers Of Keokuk were very unlikely to
get better rate than the one in force
at present and it would be better for
/ all concerned if the matter was drop
ped for the time being. Permission to
reopen the question was granted by
the chair at the conclusion of the
meeting.

conditions surrounding the eggs be-
fore they were placed in the incubator
be the same, hence the cause must
necessarily differ greatly. 1t is, there
fore, difficult to give any definite in
structions that will apply in all cases.
A few chicks failing to come out Of
the shell is no indication of faulty in
cubation, nor does it necessarily mean
a weakness in the breeding stock.
However, when a large number die
in the shell you should look about for
the trouble, and this is not always
easy to find.

CHICKS DYING IN THE SHELL
Common Trouble In Matching and One
Causing Many Failures Unno-
ticed for Many Years.

Chicks dying in the shell Is a very
common trouble in Matching and one
which causes many failures each year.
There was no attempt to discover why
chicks die in the shell until the hatch
ing of them with incubators became
popular, although this trouble FREEDOM
mated when old biddy sat on the eggs
long before the incubator was even
thought of. There were only few
under each hen at the most, and moth
ing was thought of it, but when the in
cubator came into the field and made
it possible to hatch them by the hun
dreds the cause of chicks dying in the
shell came up for discussion.
Remember that the secret of secur-
ing high per cent matches depends as
much upon strongly fortified eggs
laid by healthy, vigorous birds as upon
proper incubation. The more frequent
causes of chicks dying in the shell
where the incubator or operator is at
fault are irregular temperature, neg
lect in turning the eggs, improper ven
tilation or more frequently caused by
operating the incubator in poorly
ventilated room. The directions &C
companying an incubator are general
ly to be relied upon, and if these are
followed carefully no greater trouble
should be experienced with the chicks
dying in the shell where eggs are in
cubated by artificial than by natural
means, due allowance being made for
the experience of the operator.
Why chicks die in the shell is some
what of difficult question to answer,
for the causes are not always the
same. Perhaps not in two cases in
twenty will the conditions under
which the egsg are incubated or the
