There is just one rule in all in
struction books that an incubator op-
orator would do well to violate, and
that is where he is told that when
everything is adjusted and running
perfectly to trust to the incubator.
Don't do it. Stay and watch, or
drop in every spare minute to look
around IL you want good luck; for ev-
cry make Of incubator has some little
popularity that tells in the operating,
and it is only by close watching that
the operator has a chance to learn
how to bolster up the weak points, or
get the most out of the strong ones.
The operator should not forget that
an important part of this business is
to run the machine smoothly accord
ing to the instructions, at least for
the first few times.
If you wish to avoid trouble you
should observe these three important
rules of the instruction book.
Implicitly follow the directions for
ventilation
Place the thermometer where the
manufacturers say.
Don't vary from instructions for
temperature.
My last seasons experience bears
on the last two points. / was at this
time running three different makes of
machines, each at different tempera-
ture. one at 1O2 another at 1O3 and
still another at 104. All had good
matches.
The difference was mainly due to
the location of the thermometers, and
did not indicate an actual difference

never trust one thermometer-usuaIly
have one to each tray of eggs.
The worst trouble ! ever had with
a machine was one Of the kind that
places the thermometer directly on the
eggs. The difficulty arrives when the
eggs begin to hatch. They always
knocked the thermometer over and
from then on was never certain
whether the latter part of the hatch
was being cooked OF frozen.

USE FOR A HAND SEPARATOR
Less Work Necessary in Handling
Milk With Device Than Without
Machine Saves Waste.

A hand separator saves all waste of
butterfat. What is the use of feeding
cows good corn, hay and other stuff
that costs money and then allowing
the product to go to waste?
Less work is necessary to handle
milk with the separator than without,
because there are fewer utensils to be
used and the skim milk may be fed to
the pigs and calves and chickens at
once, and does not have to be handled
again.
Forty or fifty dollars will buy good
separator, big enough for a herd OF
four or five COWS, and 1t will save its
cost the first year. If properly cared
for, separator is good for ten years.
The cream from a separator will
bring more money because it is uni
form in richness, and is sweeter be.
cause, as it is separated while the milk
is warm and fresh, 1t does not absorb
odors as it would If left standing
around
The separator saves hauling milk to
the creamery ard then hauling the
skim milk back to the farm. Then
skim milk hauled any considerable dis
tance becomes cold and sometimes
dirty and tainted and not fit to feed.
If farmer has ten or more COWS he
will require larger separator-one
that will handle say $50 pounds of milk
in about fifteen minutes, and he then
should have small gasoline engine to
do the work. 1t is quicker and cheaper
than hand power.

more men buy a bull together, they
may be able to get a better bull than
either would own individually and
still have money to buy females.
There are other advantages, one of
which is that the more daughters a
bull may have the better he may be
judged as a sire. In the case of men
who are doing official test work this
has considerable advertising value.
Another advantage is that when diff
ferent neighbors watch the growth of
their neighbors' calves and young
stock they will try not to let the other
fellows stock get the start of theirs.
This will result in better growth and
better developed cattle.
To show that practice what l
preach will say have only one COW
in my herd that was sired by bull
owned exclusively by myself. At
present have breeding interest in
three different bulls that l have used
in the last year. This would seem
to indicate that intend to cooperate
with my neighbors.

tage of community breeding will re-
suit from friendly rivalry in the grow

then from good team work in the sell

Why He Kept a Servant.

In the days when he was superin-
tendent of the Portsmouth dockyard
in England, Lord Fisher, the present
admiral of the British feet, had the
seadog attitude toward the men; he
frequently tested them with all the
harshness of whaling captain; they.
in turn, treated him with a half
friendly, half-hostile familiarity.
Several years after his Portsmouth
days Fisher visited one of his old as
sociates of the forecastle who was
then living on half-pay. He found the
old man comfortably settled in a cot
tage, attended by another superannU-

FOREST FIRES
AGAIN RAGING ON
AMERICAN SIDE

Forest fires, which originated in
the Indian reservation near Campo
last week, are now reported to be
raging on the American side of the
line again. A shift in the wind drove
the fires onto the Mexican SIDE of the
line where they burned for a few
days, but the wind has veered again,
driving the flames north.
Automobiles who spent yesterday
in the mountains reported that the
forest fires were burning within a
mile and a half of Live Oak Springs.
Huge oak trees are being destroyed
and the mountainsides are beng swept
clean.
In one district in the vicinity of Live
Oak Springs, the fires are reported
to be burning on both sides of the
road Traffic has not been interrupt
ed, but automobilists say that flames
are sweeping so close to the road
that the wind is driving portions of
the burning brush into the highway.
A heavy pail Of smoke is reported
to be lying over the region in the
vicinity of the fires.
No efforts are being made to check
the flames, automobilists assert. In
dians from the reservation backfired
under the direction of forest rangers
for the first few days, but were un-
able to cope with the situation. 1t is
reported the fires are now burning
unheeded, so far as any attempts to
check them are concerned.

DEPUTY SHERIFF,
FELLOW PASSENGER,
REPORTED IN WRECK

Reports Of an automobile wreck Sat
nrday afternoon on the Cottonwood
grade west Of Campo reached here this
morning. One of the cars was de-
scribed as 4 red racing car with black
trimmings which fits the description
of the ear in which Deputy Sheriff
Jack Graham and H. K. Atkinson left
for San Diego Saturday morning. The
other car was an Overland.
Both machines were badly wrecked.
The front end Of the red is reported
TO have been demolished by the impact
of the collision. The Overland
escaped with less damage and was
loaded onto a truck and taken back
to San Diego.
The occupants of both cars escaped
injury.
The wreck occurred on a bend OF
the road just west of Campo and judg-
ing from the damage inflicted on
the machines, one or both of them
must have been travelling at a high
rate of speed.
There is a sheer drop of % or 30
feet on one side Of the road and pass
ing automoblists who arrived soon
after the accident counted the escape
of the occupants Of the wrecked cars
from death as almost miraculous.
The sheriff's office this morning
was unable to throw any light as to
who the occupants of the wrecked cars
were. No report of the accident has
been received there and officers be-
lieve that if Graham had been in the
accident notification of the mishap
would have been received from him.
