POULTRY CULTURE
ARTICLE xviii

Artificial Incubation.-The artificial
incubation OF the egg is a problem that
is worthy OF our best thought In Sc
! lecting eggs for Matching, very small
eggs and those unusually large should
be discarded. This is also true of those
with rough or uneven shells as well as
those with chalky shells and of light
weight The ideal egg for Matching is
the one of average size, smooth, strong
shell, heavy specific gravity, and a
strong germ. Such an egg, under ia
yorable conditions, will hatch in 10 TO
81 days. The incubator has come to
stay. II is recognized as a necessity
II early pullets for winter laying are
desired. Heat for incubators is sup
piled by means of electricity, acetyline
gas, kerosene, or hot water. The ma
jority of the incubators are heated by
kerosene. This is unsatisfactory I'M
less a high grade of oil is used. Many
prefer a hot water system of heating,
claiming that chicks Matched by this
system are larger and more vigorous;
that fewer die in the shell and that
there are fewer cripples.
What Constitutes Good Hatch -
Most breeders are satisfied with a so
per cent hatch of all the eggs that go
into the incubator, and if they are sue
cessful in raising to maturity 80 per
cent of the chicks they consider them
selves fortunate.
In running the incubator some ad-
wise keeping the temperature at 103
from start to finish. Others advocate
102 degrees for the first week, 1O3 de-
areau for tho eacond waex and IO2 IN
1O4 degrees for the third week. Per
haps the second plan gives best results.
Many advocate supplying moisture es-
peciaIly with the hot air machines, as
this system of heating tends to evaN
crate the egg contents. and the pres'V
ence OF water will retard ii, while
water also unites with carbon dioxide

decomposes the shell and prepares it
for the process of Matching.
Marketing Eggs.-If eggs are to be
shipped for Matching purposes they
should be wrapped in soft paper, then
wrapped in excelsior, and then packed
in a basket that has been lined with
excelsior. The basket should have a
handle to insure careful handling.
Eggs for market should be assorted
and carefully packed. Commission
men usually classify eggs as rotten
dirty" cracked" shrunken,' "frsts,'
prime firsts," extras" and strictly
fresh" These grades are determined
by a process of handling and special
men are employed to accomplish this
work at considerable expense.
1t is claimed that the loss of eggs
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1914-03-20

due largely to carelessness on the
farm amounts to s45,OOO,00O annually.
The farmer could save large por-
ton of this loss if he would assert his
own eggs before they leave the farm,
pack them carefully and ship only
those that are really fresh.
The boom in poultry culture has be-
come perennial. 1t is not local, it is
nation wide and world wide. There
are no signs that this universal inter
est in the hen and her products will
grow less. The largest output We can
possibly handle will be the wise prob
lem for the Matching season this
spring. The markets are inexhaustible

The Worth of the Farm Agent.

Fiscal Courts are not especially
no;ed for the good judgment with
which they appropriate county
funds. Information to the effect
that the Fiscal Court of Whitley
county has made an appropriation
for the employment of d county
farm agent is to be welcomed as
an evidence that now and then
these bodies may be relied upon
to do the proper thing.
The last Legislative passed an
enabling act which makes it posi-
BILE for Fis al Courts to make
these appropriations. Whitley is
the first of the mountain counties
to take this step and the magis
trates who voted for the appropri-
alton have demonstrated their wis
dom and progressiveness. Most
of the counties in Eastern Ken
lucky are increasing in population.
Some of them in the course of their
industrial: development are neg
Letting their agricultural inter
ests This should not be the case
Some Of them already are near
the end of their timber resources
They have great mineral wealth,
but 1.-THE coal when once mined
cannot be replaced. Their one
abiding resource is the soil.
The mountain counties of Ken
lucky are not now producing
enough foodstuff to supply the
needs of their population. They
are paying out millions OF dollars
arnua ly tor products that might
be grown at home This is Cen
dition that can be recti6ed by i'm
proving the farms, BY conserving
the soil. by retaining the worn
out lands, by adopting better
methods of farming and by in
creasing the production of live
stock.
1t is just here that the services
of the farm agent are valua BILE.
The average farmer has never
seen an agricultural college, and
he pays scaut attention to the
vast amount Of printe d advice that
is served up to him in various
ways. But there are plenty of
farmers everywhere who are glad
to avail themselves of the services
and the advice of the county agent.
He lives and moves among them
and his practical assistance is OF
more effect than tons of literature.
No county makes bad invest
ment by employing a capable farm
agent. II has been estimated that
every thousand dollars spent for
farm agents wlll give at least $io,-
600 in better farm returns.-Cour-

FINANCIAL DESTRUCTION

The merchants of this town de.
serve the patronage of the people
of this community. They are a
part, and a very important part,
of the community. They pay a
very considerable portion of the
taxes of the town and of the
county. They contribute to the
support of the churches and other
social institutions, and make pos
sible many things the community
would not have if they were not
here.
The mail order houses of the
cities are spending thousands of
dollars for the purpose of putting
the country merchants Of this
town. and other towns, out of
business. and every man who
spends a dollar with them assist
in the accomplishment f their
selfish aims.
The ultimate end of the mail
order method will be the central
izing of all the business of the
country in the large cities and the
financial destruction of the small
Ter cities and towns.
