BIG FACTOR IN INCUBATION
Causes Of Lower Percentage in ArtL
fetal Matching Is Matter Of Con-
siderable Conjecture.

The question Of the cause or causes
Of the lower Matching percentage that
commonly characterizes artificial in.
cubation when compared with results
obtained when eggs are set under
hens, is a matter about which there
is considerable conjecture. but little
definite knowledge.
In connection with various theories
that have been advanced and several
experiments that have been made, it
is perhaps suggestive that investi.
gators have recently inclined to the
opinion that unsatisfactory results are
probably due in greater measure than
is generally supposed to an excess Of
ventilation.
Several authorities are mentioned in
support of the statement that there
is larger amount of. carbon dioxide
in the air surrounding the eggs that
are naturally Matched than in we'll
ventilated incubator, and the question
Is raised as to whether and to what
extent it may be an essential factor
in incubation.

USE OF GREEN FERTILIZERS
Most Approved Method of Renewing
Depleted Soil ls to Plow Under
Some Green Crop.

The blowing under of green crops
like peas, oats, clover, alfalfa and
other grasses, is, next to liberal use
of barnyard manure. the most approved
method Of renewing depleted soil
and of maintaining the fertility OF new
land.
Where this is practised in connec.
ton with rotation of crops there
need be no fear of any deterioration in
the soil. Indeed, if sufficiency of
livestock is kept and the products of
the farm mainly transformed into beef,
mutton and poultry before being sold,
the land will grow richer and more
valuable with each successive year.

MADE COMFORTABLE LIVING ON
a SMALL PLACE.
Great Secret Is to Start With Poultry,
Garden and Berry Fruits, Gradu-
ally Increasing Stock and
Crop Operations.


(By KATE ST. MAUR- Copyright 1s14.l
Can q family make comfortable
living on small farm?
Yes, most emphatically yes, If. they
possess ordinary common sense and
industry. NY own personal expert
ence is an undeniable demonstration
of that fact. ] started on rented

the ladder.
fashioned homestead. There were two
large barns. corncrib, Toulouse and
several odd sheds. 1t was really q
farm Of $50 acres, but the owner let
US have the house and twelve acres,
including the orchard, for SIS a month,
on asthree years lease, with the privi-
lege Of taking over the additional 1853
acres at any time during our tenancy
for an additional IS month, with the
option of purchase.
Stock had to be bought in small lots,
as saved money from our living ex-
penses at first. So bought few
old hens broody ladies that wanted to
set-and raised 14S chickens the first
summer. The old hens had cost SO;
extra eggs for setting, IS; feed, 81.
And on the credit side there were 80
chickens sold as broilers, which
brought $22, So young pullets kept
for stock and all the eggs we wanted
for our own table. From trio of
ducks bought early in the spring
sold 16 young ones when nine weeks
old for 1912. In November of the
same year 80 more were sold and IL
retained for stock. / can't give the
exact cost Of feeding because no sep
arate account was kept, but certainly
$40 would cover it, The old birds
cost $3.50, SO the profit on the invest
ment amounted to nearly $50.
The apple orchard was in very
badly neglected condition, but still we
realized $3.50 from sales in the fall,
and our vegetable garden had supplied
our own needs and furnished boun-
tiful supply for picking, preserving
and canning for winter. Having bal
ance on the right side of the ledger,
we built new chicken house and
bought COW. The place was entirely
self-supporting by the eighteenth
month, and from that time on stock
grew SO rapidly that it seemed adj
visable to take on the rest of the land
and raise all our own feed for the
stock.
The great secret in starting on a
small place is, think, to commence
with poultry, garden and berry fruits
and gradually increase stock and crop
