Fifteen or 20 minutes of airing at time will be sufficient. To turn the eggs easily remove two from each row on one side of the tray and gently roll the others along, placing the two eggs removed on the other end of the row Avoid jarring the eggs or handling them roughly. They should be turned as gently as hen would turn them. The developing mem branes are very delicate and easily rup- tured at the early stages of incubation. If a rupture occurs the germ dies and development of the embryo ceases For .flis reason incubating eggs should uot be handled more often than is absolutely necessary.
 It is a good practice to test out the in fertile eggs This should be done once only from the tenth to the fourteenth day. The longer the time before testing the eggs, the easier it is to determine the infertile ones and those with very weak germs. These might just as well he removed from the incubator.

REPLICATION OF MOISTURE

There are several ways of introducing moisture into the incubator. A small pan of warm water may be placed in the egs chamber about the eighteenth day and Kept there until the hatch is completed.
 Another plan is to sprinkle the eggs with warm water, beginning about the fif- teenth day and continuing to do so until the chicks begin to pip the shell. Then it is a good plan to wiring cloth that has been dipped in warm water and spread it over the tray of eggs. If this cloth dries out rapidly. this may be done the second or even the third time. The
 object of the damp cSoth is to soften the membranes lying close to the shell which thus prevents the chick from sticking to it. The main thing, however, is that it
 aids in the disintegration of the shell by carbon dioXide.

The natural process of matching re- quires vital heat. moisture and air. The normal temperature of sitting hen is between l09 and 1o4 degrees.
 While she is sitting a certain amount of bodily moisture comes in contact with the eggs. Air circuIates about the eggs through the feathers. These are the conditions of natural incubation. They must be approached very close ly in artificial incubation to secure erooI rao1tI4e

 The natural method of matching by hens no longer meets tie growing de- mand for eggs and poultry. Consequent ly, matching eggs by incubators is rap idly taking the place of sitting hens. The aim is to hatch q large number of strong chicks early in spring. These lay eggs in fall and winter when prices are high. Artificial incubation, there fore, is of great economic value. Sue cess is possible when few simple rules for running an incubator are car ried out. These rules apply equally we'll for hot afr or hot water incu- bators.

FOR WATER Meters
City Club Engineers Say They
Are Only Solution Of Chicago
Water Problem.

City Club engineers have made
report urging immediate steps to rem.
edy the city's water system.
Nearly half the water pumped. &C.
cording to the engineers, IL wasted
through leaks, carelessness Of con.
sumers. and widespread extravaganza
in the use Of the water.
The report is signed by e. w. Bemis,
public utility engineer; Ray Palmer,
former city electrician, and Henry w.
Clausen, assistant city engineer.
Their principal recommendation is to
make the installation Of meters com.
pulsory all over the city.
"A serious problem confronts Chi.
cago," the report says. During the
months Of largest water waste in the
very cold and in very hot weather the
pressure is insufficient for the fourth

ing at once. Most large cities main.
tain o much higher pressure in resi-.
dence districts than does Chicago"
The engineers recommend that three
preliminary steps be taken at once:
1.-THE city council should appropriate
$4,000 for the construction of meter
vaults at the curb where they cannot
be set in Easements.
"All unmetered premises devoted in
whole or part to business and all pub
lie buildings should be metered.
1.-THE city water department should
have the authority to set meters moi
only as now, where the frontage rate
ia 800 per year and more. but where
It Is $50 per year. Later the limit
should be reduced to $25 year."
In Chicago the per capita pumpagt
