The New Mexican does not wish

There is no doubt about that roost,

while one rooster occupies compare

visitor to the city might not notice

wrong. One tourist might see that
rooster and fail to see the old palace;
and his report on Santa Fe would fea,

INCUBATOR NEEDS
MUCH ATTENTION
In Handling a New Machine 1t Is
of Importance That Direc-
tons Be Followed.

In warming up the machine for the
first time, start with a moderately low
lamp flame, taking care that 1t is Lot
so low that there will be an offensive
odor from the lamp. Allow the ma
chine to heat up very gradually, Don't
be in a hurry about this In cool
weather with the machine directly of
the cars it will sometimes take three
or four days or even week to get
1t heated up SO that it can be depended
upon to regulate properly. Adjust the
regulating device of your machine
when it reaches the proper tempera-
ture by carefully following the printed
instructions furnished by the manu-
facturer of the incubator. In handling,
be sure that you follow these drec-
tons implicitly. This is very i'm
portant matter. DO not be in too great
a hurry to get the eggs into your ma
chine. Be sure that you have 1t prop
erly set up and adjusted.
After the machine Is thoroughly
warm, operate it for "a hours, at least,
just as if you had the eggs in il, open
ing the door, removing the trays az If
you were about to turn the eggs, re-
turning them to the machine. and clos
ing the door again. BY doing this you
will make sure that the regulating de-
vice Is working as 1t should and hold
Ing the heat at the normal incubator
temperature. This temperature, by
the way, varies with different machines
and sometimes under different condi-
tons from 10l degrees to 104 degrees,
depending upon the arrangement of
the egg chamber and the relation of
the eggs to the thermometer
In the matter of temperature OF the
egg chamber the beginner should be
guided entirely by the printed instruc-
ton, or in event of it's failing to give
satisfactory results he should advise
such failure, explain the conditions
under which he Is operating his incu,
bator, and ask for further instructions
as to operation in his particular loca
ton. There Is one thing In connec
ton with Incubator temperature that
the beginner should always bear in
mind Don't let the heat get too high

"BOUND FOR
WESTERN CANADA"
A PRAIRIE SCHOONER SLOGAN.
THAT STARTED FROM
NEBRASKA.

Four horses abreast attached to o
red painted prairie schooner, with
windows and protruding stovepipe,
with the words, Bound for Canada"
on the schooner's side, was the object
of considerable interest as IL passed
on the way northward from Nebraska
a short time ago through the towns
in Nebraska, South and North Dakota
After some weeks of strenuous travel
ing in this way, Mr.. J. F. Jensen made
the overland trip from Jameson, Ne
braska, and with his little family made
the regular customs entry at North
Portal, in the province of Saskatche-
wan. Their destination was Willow
Bunch, a district that Mr.. Jensen
had selected as one In which it was
possible for him to work out his for
tune. He located on good half SEQ
ton of land, and intended putting on
it some cattle that would fatten on
the wild prairie grass that grows so
luxuriously In that district. IN addi-
ton to this his purpose was to culti-
vate a portion of it and raise wheat,
oats. barley or fax. In short, life
devoted to mixed farming was what
he had In view and 1t is easy to I'M.
derstand that he will make a success
of it, and in year or so will attach
some more land holdings.
Although his beginning may be
small, it may safely be said that Mr..
Jensen, like thousands of others who
have begun life in western Canada on
no more and with probably much less,
will prosper. He will not be far from a
line of railway. Schools will be close
at hand and other social conditions SO
necessary in a new country are avail.

HAD NO NEED OF THE BIBLE
Students Very Much in Error When
They Thought They Could En-
barrass Henry Ward Beecher.

A good story Is told about the late
Henry Ward Beecher, who was &C.
customed to find his inspiration
wherever he might open the Bible.
He was preaching once before the
Harvard students. One of the stu
dents in a spirit of deviltry removed
the Bible from the altar and substi-
tuted Webster's dictionary. The word
was passed around and as the noted
divine assembled the pulpit the cole
gians leaned back to enjoy the fun,
Doctor Beecher adjusted his glasses
and opened the book
my text this morning" he began,
is taken from the Song of Solomon"
Then, as casually as If nothing had
happened, he went on: Il am the rose
of Sharon and the lily of the valleys.
AS the lily among tnorns, SO is my
love among the daughters. AS the
apple tree :"
The students by this time had be-
gun to look sheepish. They never
again tried to play joke on Henry
Ward Beecher.
