far away from any disturbance, and
where the fumes from the machines
will not be bother to the occupants
OF the dwelling house. where the in
cubators are SO often kept AS the
running of any incubator requires
that a fairly close watch be kept
upon it to insure a good hatch, it
would be necessary that the building
be located within a short distance of
the dwelling house-at least within
100 feet
The floor plan of the incubator eel
lar shows four incubators placed along
the side wall OF the room. 1t will be
seen from the plan, however, that at
least eight incubators could be placed
in this room without crowding it 10
the limit. Under the steps and along
the wall, as shown in the diagram, are
a number of shelves, on which eggs
may be stored, provided the tempera-
ture of the room is kept at point be-
tween 40 and GO degrees. 1t has
been found that eggs that are kept
at a temperature any higher than this
will be weakened TO such a great ex-
tent that the chances of a good hatch
are reduced to the smallest. About
one-quarter OF the room is reserved
for a space to be used for sprouting
oats. and as this space would be
damper than the vest of the cellar, 1t
would be necessary for it to be board
ed in. Windows about two by three
inches are placed around the walls
OF the cellar to allow sufficient venti-
lation. Care should be taken that
the windows that are shown directly
over the incubators are not opened in
severe weather. as this is liable to
affect the temperature of the egg

SPRAYING FOR SOUND FRUIT
experiments In Missouri Show That
Practically All Unsprayed Fruit 10
Ruined by Disease.

The man who still clings to the idea
that spraying does not aid in the pro-
duction Of fruit should be convinced
by the report of w. L. Howard Of the
Department of Horticulture Of the Uni
versity Of Missouri BY taking or
chards here and there over the state
OF Missouri, Prof. Howard has just fin
ished a series of experiments that
show that practically all unsprayed
fruit is ruined by diseases or insects.
In one orchard where a part was
sprayed and part was left unsprayed,
only IL per cent of the Arkansas
black apples could be classed as clean
fruit after the trees had been left I'M
sprayed. In the same orchard. where
the same brand of apples had been
sprayed. the crop of clean fruit was
1871 per cent. Another orchard of
Missouri pippin apples experimental
with the same way resulted in 81
clean fruit for the unsprayed part and
SS.5 for that part which was sprayed.

of wild grasses and weeds. On ac-
