Thermostat.

The part Of the equipment Of the in
cubator which controls the regulation
of the heat is called the thermostat.
Thermostats depend on the principle OF
expansion and contraction caused by
changes in temperature. They are fas-
tened in the egg chamber and connect
ed by free rod to a bar, on the end
of which hangs the damper. Some ther'
mostats regulate the size of the flame
as well as the position of the damper.
Regulation Of the temperature OF the
incubator depends directly on the eff
cheney of this instrument, so that it is
necessary to have one Of reliable
make. Bar thermostats are made of
coordination of metals, such as steel,
zine and aluminium The wafer or disk
lthermostats, which contain some fluid
used for expanding and contracting the
disk, are also used, their efficiency de-
pending entirely upon the material used
in their construction.
The Thermometer.
There are two styles of incubator
thermometers, with various modifica-
tions; one is placed on the egg tray,
while the other is hung directly above
the eggs. The thermometer should be
used according to the manufacturer 8
rules, unless there is very good reason
for making q change. Where the ther-
mometer is placed on the tray, or is
laid on the eggs, some operators pre-
fer to have the bulb come in contact
with two eggs, so that it may record
the temperature Of at least ono fertile
egg. 1t is advisable to test the ther-
mometers once a year with clinical
thermometer, which may be secured
from physician or at drug store.
This can be done by putting both Their
mometers in warm water, heated at
about 1O3 degrees f., which should be
kept stirred, taking care to keep the
bulbs near each other and at the same
level in the water; if correct, the in
cubator thermometer will register the
same as tho clinical thermometer. The
position Of the thermometer in the egg
chamber affects the proper temperature
at which to operate the machine, as
difference Of an inch in height in some
egg chambers will mean at least de-
gree of difference in temperature. Tho
thermometer is usually placed in the
front of the egg tray, 30 that 1t can be
easily read.

Bearded Golden Polish

that for a home flock that will be a
delight to the eye as well as a pro-
ducer for the table, the Golden Polish
will be found both pleasurable and
profitable.
The hens are non-sitters, so that their
eggs must be hatched by other hens or
by artificial means. The chicks are
rather delicate, but if kept dry and in
telligently fed will thrive and grow in
the most satisfactory manner. They
should never be reared in large, oper
spaces, as their crests prevent them
from seeing the swooping hawk in time
to avoid capture.
In size these fowls compare with the
Leghorn and weigh about the same
They are very fine-boned and carry a
larger proportion Of meat in compari-
son to offal than most other breeds. The
legs are blue, or, in old specimens,
white; the skin is white, and each fowl
has a round protuberance on its skull,
from which the feathers Of the crest
grow.
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1914-08-06

the hatch is completed, unless they be-
come restless, when it may be best to
remove the chicks that are Matched
first. In cool weather it is best not to
put moro than 10 eggs under a hen,
while later in the spring one can put
10 to Is, according to the size of the
hen.
Care of the Sitting Hen.
If several hens are sitting in the
same room, see that they are kept on
the nests, only allowing them to come
off once day to receive feed and wa
ter, the feed to consist of corn, wheat,
or both. If there are any that do not
desire to come off themselves they
should be taken off. Hens usually re-
turn to their nests before there is any
danger of the eggs chilling, but if they
do not 60 back in half an hour in ordi-
nary weather, they should be put on the
nest. Where large number of sitters
are kept in one room it is advisable to
let them off in groups of from to G
at time. The eggs and nests should
be examined and cleaned, removing all
broken eggs and washing those that are
soiled; in the latter case the soiled nest
ing material should be removed and
clean straw added.
Nests containing broken eggs that the
hen is allowed to sit on soon become in
tested with mites and lice, which cause
the hens to become uneasy and leave
the nest, often causing the loss of valu
able sittings of eggs. In mite-infested
nests, the hen, if fastened in, will often
be found standing over rather than sit
ting on the eggs. Many eggs that are
laid in the late winter and early spring
are infertile. For this reason it is ad
visable to set several hens at the same
| time.
After the eggs have been under the
hens from 5 to 7 days, the time depend
| ing somewhat on the color and thick.
ness of the shells-white- -shelled eggs
being easier to test than those having
brown shells--they should be tested, the
infertile eggs and dead germs removed,
and the fertile eggs put back under the
hen. In this way it is often possible to
put all the eggs that several hens origi-
naliy started to sit on under fewer hens
and reset the others. For example, 80

old. 1t is supposed to have crigi-
mated in Italy and was bred to a
degree of perfection in the Netherlands,
from where it spread over Western
Europe and to America. The name
Polish came from the first belief that
they originated in Poland.
On account Of lacking certain eco
nomic qualities they have not become
widely popular. The White Crested
Blacks were the first variety, but Dutch
breeders developed the beautiful Silver
and Golden Polish, some with crests
and some with both crests and boards,
the type shown herewith being of the
crested and bearded variety. Their
plumage is generally golden tan in color,
each feather edged or laced with bril-
liant black.
They are very gentle and thrive well
in confinement in favorable climates
where the soil is dry. The hens are ex-
cellent layers Of large, white-sbelled
eggs, and produce a number Of them; SO

PROVIDE PLENTY OF SHADE.

HHADE is necessary to provide q
- place where the birds can get away
from the direct rays of the sun,
thus inducing better growth and pre-
venting sun-burning and slow feather
ing. Natural shade is by far the best,
wild forest growth or cultivated orch
ards making ideal shade. In the alb
sence of trees or while they are making
sufficient growth, the planting of corn,
sunflowers and castor beans, or some
such quick growing, ieafy plant is de-
sirable. There is probably no better
place to rear pullets than the cornfield.
Artificial shade may be constructed BY
stretching cbeesecloth or burlap over
a frame, or by making an elevated plat
form covered by boards.

Types Of Incubators.
There are many different types Of in
cubaters on the market, all Of which
are of one of the following types: Hot
air, hot water, or mammoth machines.
Both "moisture and non-moisture
incubators are made in the different
STYLES of hot-air and hot-water ma
chimes. The small machines are heated
either by burning kerosene oil or gas,
while the heat for most of the nam
moth machines is supplied by coal
stove, although gas is also used to some
extent. Gas burners require much less
attention than oil heaters, but supply
of gas is not available in many local.
tiles where oil may be purchased
Electricity is also used for heating, both
in small incubators and in mammoth
machines.
Hot-Air and Hot-Waser Machines.
Hot air and hot water incubators are
used successfully throughout the coun
try. The water in the tanks of the hot
water machines should be emptied after
the last hatch, which also prevents
freezing when stored in cold climate
The hot-water incubator will hold its
heat longer than the hot-air machine, in
case the lamp should 60 out; but the
possibility of such an accidert is too
slight to be worth considering where
the incubator receives proper attention
The mammoth machines are used ex
tensively both in tho day-old chick
business and in custom Matching. Their
capacity runs from $500 to 10000 OIL
moro eggs, as the machines are built
in sections of about 1000 eggs each
the size varying in different makes
When an incubating capacity of less
than 5000 to 1000 eggs is desired, in
dividual incubators of so to 400 egg
capacity are generally used.
