therefore. believe that It pays 70 have
an incubator large enough to hatch
most of their stock In two. or at
most, three matches. Much time in
tending to the incubators and brood
ers Is saved IN this way. A fair es-
innate for q poultry farm ts 70 have
the incubator hold as many eggs as
there are hens, provided that about
one-half OF the flock is to be re-
newed yearly, and no outside hatch
ing is carried on.
Well Ventilated Room for Incubator.
A well-yentilated room, which is
not subject 20 great variations in
temperature. should be selected for
the incubator. II built above ground
the wall should be double and the
entire building insulated. In sections
that have a mild climate machines
may be operated in buildings with
single walls, but a well-insulated
room is always preferable.
Where only a few small machines
are used they are generally run in
room or cellar Of the house. Good
results in Matching may be secured
in cellars as well as in rooms, and
these are more commonly used.
Many of these cellars are provided
with some system Of ventilation be-
side windows, muslin screens on the
windows often providing good ven
tilation without draft and keeping
the sun from shining on the ma
chimes. Cement floors are easier to
keep clean than dirt floors. Where
the equipment is extensive a special
cellar or house should be provided.
How to Operate "A Machine.
In setting up the machine get it
perfectly level. Do not plane off
the door if it sticks until the ma
chine has been heated up and thor
oughly dried. Run the machine at
about 102 degrees Fab, for day be-
fore putting in the eggs. Afterward
do not touch the regulator for sew
eral hours, as it takes this time for
the machine to come back to its reg
ular temperature.
The temperature should remain
nearly even. When the bulb of the
Thermometer rests directly on the
eggs the temperature is usually held
at 1919 to 102 degrees Fahrenheit

PRACTICAL LESSONS IN POULTRY KEEPING

In this series of articles it has as
sumed that many, If not most, of
those who want to start keeping
poultry viii do so by either buying
day-old chicks or by having eggs
custom Matched, %the two most mod
ern ways of making a start; but so
many inquiries have come in about
setting hens and running incubators
that it is evident that a lot of people
want to do their own Matching, either
by setting a hen or by running an in
cubator For their benefit, therefore,
1t is thought wise to go back a little
and treat of these subjects, even
though the season is advanced for
Matching.
Matching with Hens.
First, as to Matching with hens. AS
the time approaches for a hen to sit
1t will be seen that there are a few
soft, downy feathers being left in her
nest; also she stays longer on her
nest, and on being approached will
quite likely remain there, making
clucking noise and ruffiing her feath-
ers. When a hen sits on her nest
from two to three nights in success
sion, and 1t is seen that most of the
feathers are gone from her breast
(Which should feel hot to the hand)
she is ready to be transferred to
nest which has been prepared for her
beforehand.
The normal temperature of a hen
is from 106 to 107 degrees Fahrenheit,
which varies slightly during incuba-
ton. Dust the hen thoroughly with
insect powder, and in applying the
powder hold the hen by the feet, the
head down, working the powder we'll
into the feathers, giving special at
tention to regions around the vent
and under the wings. The powder
should also be sprinkled in the nest.
The nest should be in some quiet,
quito the-way place, where the sit
ting hen will not be disturbed. Move
her from the regular laying nest at
night and handle her carefully in do
ing so. Put a china egg or two in the
nest where she is to sit, and place
board over the opening so that she
cannot get off.
Toward the evening of the second
day quietly go in where she is sit
ting, leave some feed and water, re-
move the board from the front or top
of the nest, and let the hen come off
when she is ready. Should she re-
turn to the nest after feeding, re-
move the china egg or eggs and put
under those that are to be incubated.
If the nests are slightly darkened
the hens are less likely to become
restless. At Matching time they
should be confined and not be dis
turbed until the hatch is completed,
unless they become restless, when it
may be best to remove the chicks
that are Matched first. In cool wealth

er 1t is best not to put more than ten
eggs under a hen, while later in the
spring one can put twelve to fifteen,
according to the size of the hen.
If several hens are sitting in the
same room, see that they are kept
on the nests, only allowing them to
and water, 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 usu-
ally return to their nests before there
is any danger of the eggs chilling, but
if they do not go back in half an
hour in ordinary weather, thy should
be put on the nest.
Exercise for Sitters.
Where a large number of sitters
are kept in one room it is advisabl
to let them off in groups of from four
to six at time. The eggs and nests
should be examined and cleaned, re-
moving all broken eggs and washing
those that are soiled; in the latter
case the soiled nesting material
should be removed and clean straw
added. Nests containing broken eggs
that the hen is allowed to sit on soon
become infested with mites and lice,
which cause the hens to become I'M
easy and leave the nest, often caus-
ing the loss of valuable settings of
eggs. In mite-infested nests, the hen,
If fastened in, will often be found
standing over rather than sitting on
the eggs.
Many eggs that are laid in the late

NO 7-sETTING A HEN RUNNING AN INCUBATOR.

winter and early spring are infertile.
For this reason 1t is advisable to set
several hens at the same time. After
the eggs have been under the hens
from five to seven days, the time de-
pending somewhat on the color and
thickness of the shells-white-sh
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 originally started
to sit on under fewer hens and reset
the others. For example, 30 eggs are
set under three hens at the same time,
10 under each. At the end of seven
days we find on testing the eggs from
all the hens that 10 are infertile,
which leaves US 20 eggs to reset,
which we do by putting them under
two hens, and have the remaining
hen sit over again after she has sat
only seven days. In this way consid-
cradle time can be saved in ones
Matching operations.

$3.50 is the title of a new bulletin,
which can be had free on application
to the United States department OF
agriculture. 1t emphasizes the fact
that strong, fertile eggs are the f1rst
thing to be desired to produce good

from stock properly mated and kept
under the best possible conditions
Eggs from over-fat breeding stock do
not produce many strong chicks. Ii
breeders are confined they should be
fed a varied supply of grains, meat
and green feed. Free range Is usually

ity and where the fowls are yarded.
but this proportion may be Increased

Abundant ventilation in the house is
also a great help in keeping the stock
in good breeding condition.
Select Uniformly Large Eggs for
Matching.
To secure uniformity in the off
spring and increase the size Of the
eggs it is a good plan for the poultry
raiser to select uniformly large eggs
of the same color for Matching. Small
eggs and those poorly shaped, or with
thin shells. should not be used. WINE

STRAWBERRY PLOT SHOULD
BE PART OF EVERY GARDEN

Every garden should contain at
least q small plot devoted TO straw
berries. AS the old writer said.
Doubtless God might have made a
better fruit than the strawberry. but
doubtless He did not"
The satisfaction and the profit Of
strawberry raising to a great extent
depends On the kinds grown. The
Brandywine is good berry for
late variety to plant. IL is a firm,
good keeper and aIl-round berry,
Senator Dunlap is another good
strawberry It is good sized, deep
crimson throughout and good in
quality. The COrsican is also a very
good berry to raise. II is the largest

drought, weeds and even neglect of
cultivation better than any other va
riety
Strawberries do better if planted in
May. Then they can wait until the
last of August or the first OF Septern-
Der as they have a chance to get a
start and throw out runners or young
strawberry plants. These will make a
good bed for raising strawberries the
next summer, while, if planted IN the
fall, they have but little chance 10

There ia more danger of them winter
killing than IL they were planted in
the spring When planted either way,
they should be covered with leaves or
straw before winter sets in to keep
them from winter killing. In the
spring leave some Of the straw around
the plants, for this will help keep the
berries clean as well as to keep the
plants more moist.
In growing Strawberries, the great
est misfortune is the late spring frost
that is liable to kill them. If planted
on too low ground such frost win de-

old. they are as hardy as any poultry
have on the place.
Now as to the room required
have but a few acres in the northern
New Jersey hills, and I should say
from watching my turkeys, that
few could be kept very well on one
or two acres of land. Some, of course,
are more wild than others, but do
not fuss with them very much. When
they are young 1 yard them much as
[ would chickens. When they are
older [ let them wander almost at
will.
Keeping turkeys healthy is largely
a matter of keeping their quarters
clean. Any old shed or roost almost
will do for them. providing the
perches are high. They do not need
as warm houses as chickens.
For food I give my White Hollands
practically everything that 1 give to
the chickens. Mixed grains, green
stuff, animal food, shell, grit and
plenty of water. The last is very i'm
portant.
To anyone who wishes to keep a
few turkeys on their country place
I will earnestly recommend the
White Hollands. They are now next
to the bronze In popularity, and I
expect before long to see them outoo
even the oder breed.

This week we will hear from
different sort of poultry. A we'll
known turkey raiser tells why he
likes his breed. the white Hollands,
as follows:
''You ask me why l like white
Holland turkeys and Why Keep
them year after year. There are
many reasons. one is that they pay
me well. 1 guess the other reasons
are not needed. In the first place,
the white Holland turkeys as / breed
them give me birds that seem to be
the most popular in the market for
weight. The standard weights of this
breed OF turkeys are twenty-sM
pounds for cock, sixteen pounds for
a cockerel, sixteen pounds for hen
and ten pounds for a pullet. You
can see from this that when the mar
ket demands turkeys 1 can select
almost any weight required and /
have particularly available the small
er weights of birds, which, as most
market men will admit, are the most
popular. 1t seems to me that the
day has gone by when families want
S5-pound turkeys. This weight OF
birds is largely for hotels and res
taurants. But put 20 TO 3o-pound
bird on the, table OF the average
Family and they get so sick of tur-
key trying to eat it up that they DO
not want to hear the name again
for a month.
Then again, the white Holland
turkey being a white feathered bird,
there are no nasty little pin feath-
ers in the carcass and they always
dress nicely.
| tried the bronze kind before tax
ing up the White Holland, and l am
much better satisfied in every respect
with them. They seem to be more
healthy, do not range over such
large area as the bronze birds and
do better in almost any sort of
I weather.
People have an idea that turkeys
are hard to raise and that they re-
duire lots of room. While these ideas
are correct, to a certain degree they
have been so much exaggerated that
lots of people who ought to be raising
turkeys. do not bother with them. My
experience has been that, If just a
little care, il given when the pullets
are Young, they will take care Of
themselves with little help for the
rest of their lives. Little turkeys
need to be kept out of the wet and
cold. Low damp places and cold
heavy soils do not suit them, but once
they are over the danger period, say
when they are two or three months
