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, 1t
would be necessary that the building
be located within a short distance or
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 1t to
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 60 degrees. 1t has
been found that eggs that are kept
at a temperature any higher than this
will be weakened TO such great ex-
tent that the chances of 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 rest 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
chamber

floor and side walls are shown OF

Test With Pkus.

In a feeding test with eighty pigs,
last 100 days, on ration OF corn
chop, buttermilk and barley, and sor-
ghum forage, conducted at the Okla
homa station, the average daily gain
was 81 pound as compared with a gain
of 1.22 pounds on corn chop and but
termilk.
A lot of hogs turned into field of
corn yielding at rate of only II
bushels per acre made a gain of IL
pounds per head. Estimating the value
Of the grain at seven cents per pound,
the hogs returned a value Of 63.15
cents per bushel.

MixIno Feeds.

A few years ago some one asked
for an easy way to mix feed in water
for hogs. Here is a good way: Set
barrel over the end of V-shaped
hog trough. the barrel is as near to
water supply as possible. and bore
an auger hole In the bottom Of bar
rel to lead slop to the trough. A
stick as long as the barrel and point
ed at lower end is used to plug the
auger hole. To let the slop run out
Just pull the stick out. Put in first
the amount Of water, then mill feed
on top and 1t will be ready by the
next feed.

Feeding Corn to Pics.

The feeding of corn alone to pigs,
as is practiced on many farms in this
country, has done more than any one
thing to reduce the vitality of these
animals. Corn alone is not balanced
ration for the hog any more than for
any other animal, and it cannot be fed
corn alone and be as strong and
prolific as though it had had a
changed and mixed diet If it were
possible for every breeder Of swine
to follow these principles, there
would, in a short time, be no need of
serum for quelling the ravases of
hog cholera

Henry Spencer for the murder of
Mildred Allison Rexroat, the tango
teacher, who Spencer killed near
Wayne. and whose body he left on the

God, they got mel" Then he cursed
the judge, the jury, his own lawyer

30 PERISH ON SHIP
THE II. 8. SMITH SINKS IN GALE

Many Bodies Of Sailors and Wreck
age From Vessels Are Found
on the Shore.

Marquette, Mich, Nov. 15.-Thirty
lives we're lost and another great loss
was added to the list caused by the
recent lake storms, when the Henry
b. Smith. carrying 10000 tons of ore,
was lost off Keweenaw Point on Lake
Superior.
The Hawgood Transportation COM

telegraphed Thursday for information
concerning the Smiths whereabouts,
stating that although five days over
due the ship has failed to reach the
500.
The Henry b. Smith, with Capt.
James Owen in command. loaded here
and waited two days for the storm to
abate.
The Smith failed to reach any port
on Keweenaw shore, and marine men
say it is highly improbable that it is
somewhere on the Canadian coast.
Wreckage OF a large vessel was found
late in the day. 1t is believed the
Smith sank off Standard Rock, about
thirty miles from Marquette. The
Henry B. Smith was of steel, 565 feet
long, 55-foot beam and 30-foot depth.

was cast up by the waves, and no
trace had been obtained of two yes
sells or their crews, totaling more
than forty men.
