There are many makes Of incubators
and it is to be presumed that their
makers know something about the
perating of them. Therefore it seems
a sensible plan to follow the makers
instructions, which are always fur
nished with the incubator. Do this
implicitly for the first hatch anyway
and if the results are not satisfactory
notify the manufacturer or his near
est general agent at once. Most of
the big concerns keep experts in their
employ who are on the road all the
time Investigating complaints and
giving personal instructions to buy
ers.
There are two main classes of in
cubators, hot water machines and
those operated by hot air, and there
are good and bad machines of both
classes. Probably there are more
we'll known hot air machines but there
are certainly some fine makes of hot
water incubators as we'll. AS the first
incubator | ever owned was a hot
water machine and a mighty poor
one, was opposed to the whole tribe
of hot water machines for years after
wards, but have since owned, and
do now, some first rate machines of
that type.

INCUBATION.

Barring its cumulative limitations
natural incubation is superior to the
artificial process. The hen makes
better job of Matching than any in
cubator does, her chicks are better
and she will bring more chicks out of
the same number of eggs. Of course
the large hocks necessary to stock egg
ranches must be artifcially incubated
bnt the real lover of poultry with
moderate sized flock will get more
pleasure from the task of Matching by
the natural method and will have
better results as we'll. How many
chicks can be Matched under hens by
one person in one season is mooted
certain quantity, and the supply of
hen mothers can never be depended
upon. This uncertainty is the worst
feature of hen Matching and the most
important in limiting the number of
hen Matched chicks. 1t is probable,
however, that any one who gave them
selves earnestly to the work could set
from 40 to 80 hens every spring and
have from 200 to $50 laying pullets to
show for it. [ once knew man who
had never owned an incubator, yet he
added 500 new pullets to his flock of
layers every season, all of them hen
Matched. The big commercial ranch
flocks must be artifcially incubated
but the breeder of fine chickens
should hatch as many of his best bred
chicks as possible by the natural
method and however big breeding
establishment may be large proper
ton of it's breeding males should be
Matched in the good old fashioned way.
Almost anybody can set hen, but
will she stay ''sot''? 1t depends a
good deal ON her being left alone in a
dark, quiet place and kept free from
vermin. A row of nests, open only
in 'front.' may be placed on a low shelf
with slat or shingle across the front
of nest to keep the hen in place, though
with most hens this precaution is not
necessary. Let them Off once day

Poets Memory LIves-

Tho saying Christmas comes but once 2 year" is attributed to Thomas Tusser. a medieval poet (1624-16SO). who seems to have been strong on epigrams. The same idea may have occurred to others, but Tusser gave 1t expression He was classed as an agricultural poet. partly because hs had not much education and partly because he treated simple themes. which he understood fin . plain and simple way. Tussor had an ear fos music. and served to order. as chos. ister in some churches of his day. His nrst publication was entitled "A Hundred Good Points of Husband rie." and hter he published "A Hun dred Good Points of Husbandrie Late ly Married Unto a Hundred Good Points of Housewffery." and still later this was amplihed into Five Hun dred Good Points of Husbandry Unit ed to as Many of Good Housewifery.> Reprints of these boks are still eD tAnt with an autobiography of the au- thor in verse. Southey, himself a critical poet characterized Tusser aa "a good, honest. homely useful old rhymster." Some of Tusser's phrases have passed into proverbs.

1t has taken Kitty Gordon but nine

Miss Gordon's love for the stage and
her unwillingness to give up life be-
hind the. footlights to become So
ciety butterfly.
A beautiful woman can be inde-
pendent. That is nothing more than
bromide. So independent and. force
full is Miss Gordon that it was with
little effort on her part that she
transformed her husband into a real
theatrical company manager, who
and who is content with the cate
chism of love that his wife advocated
at the time when divorce proceedings
We're in the air. Anyway, Captain
Beresford is going to manage, in an
official capacity his charming mate.
This statement Is rather paradoxical
in view of Miss Gordonss catechisni,
which goes about like this:
ITO love. but love wisely, Civ
ing no more than is received, To
retain your own individuality.
and not submerge 1t into the man
you love- else he will lose his
respect for yous. and without re-
spect he looks upon you as his
handmaiden. To have your own
profession, your own ambitions,
and your own income. To be his
equal in every way-only then
can a woman love"
The difficulty with most men, OBJ
serves Miss Gordon, lis that they
