At the regular meeting of Harrington /
Grange last Saturday arrangements had /
been made to confer the third and fourth |
degrees on a class of three but was de |
fered until a later date as there seemed /
to be some misunderstanding on the part I
of the candidates as they were not present.
This left quite little spare time and a
short talk on incubation and Young chicks,
which is interesting to every one at this
season of the year, was opened. The
question of special interest, what makes
the young chicks die in the Shell, " was
answered by Mrs Peckham, who said she
thought this was often caused bv dirturb-
ince, as she found that she never had Z
my trouble in getting chicks out of the
she'll, where the incubator door was not {
opened from the time the first ones came
'ut until the hatch was over. This kept /
he eggs at an even temperature with no I
to the air. For food the pre- /
Jared chick feed was recommended bv
IL; but +. A. Smith said that he had q
ound little egg was a valuable addition ]
s they were very fond of it and thrived
n It as well His method was to save all v
eggs after testing in the incu-
ator and boil them hard These could e
e kept for several weeks at a time and Y
dded to feed. A communication was I
