POULTRY TALKS
BY O. L. TINDALL
HATCHING- Incubator VS.. the Hen

HATCHING- vs. the Hen
1t is now time to set your eggs.
Chickens Matched in April and May are
the best. The larger breeds should be
Matched little earlier than the smaller
ones, as it takes longer for them to ma
ture. The earlier Matched pullets make
the winter layers, when eggs are scarce
and at a good price. Old hens lay but
few eggs in the winter The early
ROSTERS sell best as broilers, when about
two pounds weight.
There are two ways of Matching eggs
with the incubator and with the hen.
They each have their advantages. With
the hen, is the natural way. She saves
oil and the expense of an incubator and
brOOder She turns and cOOlS her own
eggs and then broods the young chicks.
All of these things you have to do if you
use the wooden hen | think, too, we
must admit that the old hen does a bet
ter job-we'll get more chicks, on an
average, and perhaps better ones.
So much we will grant in favor of the
hen. And yet we find all of the big
poultry men using incubators, for the
most part. There must be a reason. The
chief reason, no doubt, is that you can do
a sort of wholesale business with the
machine, while the hen is too small and
slow for these fast times.
She thinks she is doing well enough
if she lays IS or 80 eggs in the year,
produces dozen or fifteen chickens, and
broods and rears them. That is about
all she can do WELL She says: "That
is far better than most animals do. The
horse, or COW, or sheep, double them
selves once in year. and that is all that
is expected or required Of them, and why
ask me to increase more than II or Is
fold? Man is never satisfied"
The old hen is sort of self-willed, and
won't sit until she feels like it = and
you can't make her. Here is where the
incubator gains his point 1t will sit
where and when you tell it to. In this
way you can begin business early in the
season, and get the early chicks. You
can keep the hens laying while you are
Matching. This is great advantage.

CHICAGO BUILDING OUT ALONG
THE NORTH SHORE

Real estate sales in Lake County have
been very active, during the past week,
total loans amounting to $2O6, 47125.
A large number of deals were consum-
mated, many of them running as high
as from $4,000 to $4,000 each.
Property is continually advancing in
price along the North Shore, between
Chicago and Milwaukee, The statement
is often heard that Chicago is building
out in this direction. Many million
aires are erecting splendid mansions and
laying out beautiful estates, around Lake
Forest and other suburban points, and
it will be only question of few years
until property can scarcely be purchased
at any price, in this vicinity, within the
reach Of the average individual.

WILBUR GLENN VOLIVA
General Oversee Of the Christian Catholic

An ordinary incubator will hold from
200 to 300 eggs. 1t would take from Is
to 20 hens to cover that many eggs. 1t
would take them three weeks to hatch
them, and six weeks to raise them. All
this time is lost from their laying, and
that, too, during the better part of the
year; just when the hen is most useful
for laying Twenty hens for nine weeks
would produce a good many eggs
enough to set the incubator So, if you
don't get very good hatch, you are still
ahead. This makes up for the larger
per cent. of the hatch by the old hen
The care of one incubator, and the
cost of oil is not much The first cost
of the machine is not very heavy, and a
good we'll made machine will last many
years. The old hen is by no means a
sure getter of chicks. 1t doesn't do to
count your chicks before they are
Matched even when under old "Biddy."
Sometimes she changes her mind, and
concludes she has set long enough, and
leaves her nest She sometimes breaks
the eggs, and often the lice get in their
work on both mother and brood
Incubators have their draw backs
They won't hatch a hundred per cent.
We hear of so per cent matches, and rs
per cent matches, and so on, higher and
lower. They require watching and at
tention. The eggs must be turned and
cooled twice day, after the first two
days, up to the eighteenth day The
temperature should be about 103 de-
grees; little hotter, perhaps, the last
week.
There are a good many different
makes, but they are mostly on the same
principle, and do about the same kind of
work = very much like sewing ma
chimes, or binders. They all claim to be
the best. The X-Ray Incubator and
Brooder is quite different from the rest
It has the lamp directly under the ma
chine, instead of on the side. So there
is no waste of heat, which means quite
a saving in oil. 1t has large tank that
does not require filling but once, for the
entire hatch, though it is better not to
let the oil run too slowly The tray re-
mains in the machine while you turn the
eggs, and SO saves labor and trouble.
These are some of the points of adj
vantage over the old styles - economy
IN oil and great saving of labor, in the

care. | have used these machines for
several years, and like them.
They don't hatch every egg, by any
means, any more than do the others.
This may not be the fault of the ma
chine, however. 1t may be the mans
fault, or the trouble may be in the eggs.
Most likely in both. Eggs must be fer
tile, and properly cared for. Care must
be taken not to let the eggs get chilled.
Neither should they be left too long be-
fore setting - the fresher they are, the
better. They will hatch if kept two or
three weeks, even; but a week or ten
days is better.
The hens should be kept in good con-
dition = healthy and vigorous; also
properly mated, Is to IL hens to one
rooster, or less is better. Avoid having
the hens too fat, and give them plenty
of exercise.
The incubator should be kept in a good
place, properly ventilated = good fresh
air. A Matching egg requires air, mois-
ture and temperature, the same as a liv-,
ing chick, or child There is life in it
and it must be properly nurtured. even
while it is inside the shell.
