VALUE OF THE INCUBATOR
IN THE RAISING OF POULTRY
u 10 Truthworthy and IL Yov Know
Your Business Will Always
Give a Good Hatch.

The incubator has made a place for
itself in the country world and has tax
en- upon itself the duties that used TO
belong to the hen. as far as Matching Is
concerned, say the Kansas Farmer.
Instead Of wasting her valuable time in
Matching the hen can go ON her way
laying eggs. That part Of her duty
nothing can take from her. The large
poultry plants discarded the hen as a
hatcher long ago. and the fancy poul-
tryman has followed their example.
He can hatch his chickens at any time
he pleases. II he wants his birds early
he must hatch them In January OF
February, and there are very few hens
that want to sit during these cold
months. The modern incubator. wheth-
does the work of Matching In a much
more satisfactory way than the hen.
The hen works in natures way. and
when given a chance to make good In
her own sweet way she will come out
all right. but you sometimes want
things outside of natures way. Fol
instance. IL Is natures way for a hen
TO m to sit in the spring and
summer. and IL you wait on the sitting
hen your young fries and broilers Will
be very late In coming. You cannot
get them in. late winter or very early
spring as you a with an incubator.
The hen sometimes thinks she wants
to sit. and then. again. she takes an
other think. She may stay on the nest
for a week and then strike for more
wages or another place TO work in.
After she is given a lot of fine eggs
she will make all sorts Of fuss and
give up the notion of sitting entirely.
The incubator. on the other hand. Is
trustworthy. You can start 1t as soon
as you have the eggs. and IL you at
tend to your business there is no rea-
son why you should not have a sue
cessful hatch. Don't get the idea into
your head that some time everybody
will be back again Matching with the
hen. The incubator has come to stay
and Is already a Indispensable part of
every modern poultry plant.

Only One Umpire For Minors.

The minor leagues are not only goin:
to cut salaries OF players and limit the
number II club can carry down TO n
minimum, but most Of the little leagues
intend to drop the double umpire sys'
tenn and work but one official next sea
son.
This mems a big saving. for the nun
pires even In the small leagues draw
on an average $3.50 n month. and IN
the Southern league. where they have
been carrying eight men. they Will
save about 1900 IL month IN umpires
salaries alone. not to speak of the cut
In travelling expenses.
The international and American as
sociations will probably not adopt the
single umpire system. The Pacific
Coast and the Western leagues. how
ever. are going to make the cut In the
STATS.

GRADING OF SEED CORN.
May BE Selected Better Before Ears
Are ShsIIsd Than Aftsrwsrd.

Seed corn may be graded better be-
fore the ears are shelled than after
ward. The United States department
of agriculture specialists In corn inves-
LEGATIONS consider IL difficult TO grade
shelled corn satisfactorily.
IL the seed ears vary greatly as to
size of kernel they should be separated
into two or three grades according to
size of kernel. These grades should
be shelled separately. tested In the
corn planter and numbered TO CORE
spond with the number on the planter
plates that are found to drop them
most uniformly. These arrangements
can be completed before spring.
The first operation In properly she'll
ing seed corn is the removal OF the
small kernels from the tips of the ears
and the round. thick kernels from the
butts. The former are less productive
than the other kernels of the ear. The
round butt kernels are as productive
as the other kernels Of the ear. but do
not plant uniformly In a planter.
Smelling seed corn carefully by hand
is profitable. The greater the acreage
planted the greater the profit. Into II
shallow pan or box each ear should he
shelled separately.

In selecting the all star first basemau
from the two big leagues there has
been much contention among the ex-
pert dopesters as to whether Stuffy
McInnis Of the Philadelphia Athletics
or Jake Daubert of the Brooklyn
Dodgers should be awarded the palm.
Some hold that Mclnnls Is unsurpassed
as a guardian of the first sack. while
supporters Of Daubert point to the OH
cial record of their champion. The
figures show that Daubert has the bet
ter Of 1t when figures are considered.
The records of the two guardians Of
the first sack are far ahead OF any OF
their competitors. No other first base
man In the game approached the bat
ting and fielding marks set by this
pair for 1914. Daubert. however. out
hit McInnis by ten points. He also
outfielded him. stole three more bases
