For olIina Machinery,

The operation OF oiling machinery.
especially where 1t is desirable that
the oil should be kept from the hands
and clothing OF the operator, has been
devised recently in making use OF the
well-lnown collapsible lead capsules,
so widely used for artists colors, drug
gists' products, paste, etc, in the Unit
ed States. The capsules are provided
with screw thread which is screwed
into an adapter, which in turn is
fastened to the part TO be fabricated.
The lead capsule and the brass
adapter make a tight Joint, and all
that is necessary is to apply pressure
from time to time. as desired. When
the grease capsule is emptied. one
merely unscrews II and Puts a new
one in its place. No refilling is neces-
sary, and the pressure OF the fingers
is usually sufficient to force the grease
into the bearing.

Laying.
Turkey hens are wont to steal"
their nests in hidden places, such as
a patch OF weeds, tall grass or thick
brush and often wander a half mile or
cations that suit them. To find these
stolen nests often proves TO be a long
and tedious task. the usual method be-
ing TO follow each turkey hen as she
separates from the flock and starts to-
ward her nest. care being taken that
she does not know she is being fol-
lowed. A much easier and quicker
method than this is TO confine the hens
early some morning soon after they
have come down from roost and let
them out late in the afternoon. Those
that are laying will then head for their
nests in order to lay the eggs they
have been holding.
II many turkeys are kept. the use OF

convenience. This pen should cover a

barrels turned on their sides and nests

Incubation.
Turkey hens, chicken hens and incu-
bators are commonly used TO incubate
turkey eggs. During the early part OF
the laying season It often happens
that one has on hand a number OF eggs
that should be incubated before any OF
the turkey hens are through laying
their FIRST litter and become "broody."
In such case. and also when It is de-
sired that the turkey hens lay more
than one litter, some OF the eggs have
to be incubated under chicken hens or
In an incubator About a week before
the poults are due TO hatch, turkey

nothing is more injurious than for
them to become wet and chilled The
most satisfactory plan is TO conflne

coop should be placed in a field where
they can run out and find grasshop-

the poults grow older. the ration should
gradually be changed to grain.
