KIND OF EGGS TO SET.

Since the size of the chicken is deter
mined by size of egg. select only good
sized eggs weighing at least two
ounces for incubation. It is better to
set hens eggs than eggs from pullets
as they hatch better and the chicks are
larger, better and stronger. The eggs
should be of even size. shape and color.
Avoid all Informed, uneven-shaped,
thin-shelled eggs. Avoid also the ex-
ceptional long eggs and the little round
eggs, also the eggs with ridges or blind
checks in shell. Select only fr esh
eggs, because the fresher the eggs, the

Instructions for Growing
Potatoes
E. S. Brigham
TREATMENT OF SEED.

Seeds should be kept in cold place
during the winter so that sprouts will
not start. In the spring when sprout-
ing begins remove to the barn floor or
to a well-lighted place. Treat for scab
and black lag by soaking for two hours
in solution of formaldehyde, one pint
to 80 gallons of water. Spread in
thin layer and expose to light.
Sprouts will start very slowly under
these conditions and will not be easily
broken off. If sprouts have started to
any extent break off before giving
formaldehyde treatment.
CUTTING SEED.
If planter is used. seed must be cut
into uniform size, Seed sprouted by
exposure to light may be cut to one
good eye so long as that eye is sup
ported by good-sized piece of flesh and
provided the sprout shows indications
of being good vigorous one. In some
cases it may be necessary to cut so
that there Will be two or three eyes to
the seed piece in order to have the seed

CARE OF EGGS.

After placing the eggs in machine,
do not open machine for thirty-six
hours, when the first turning should be
made. Thereafter turn the eggs twice
daily, morning and night, and cool once
daily until the eighteenth day when
turning is to be stopped. Cool on the
nineteenth day for last time, then
place egg tray back in machine and do
not open machine again until hatch is
over.
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1916-05-17
TIME OF MATCHING.

Do not remove chickens from incuba-
tor for at least 48 hours, better longer.
This depends upon the vigor of the
chicks and the period of year, whether
early or late. If one is going to rear
by hens, they should have yard and
brood coop all ready in place before
hatch is off. while those who are going
to use breeders should have them set
up and running for couple of days be-
fore entrusting the chicks to them.
After the chicks are removed from the
incubator to brooder, clean up the in
cubator and thoroughly disinfect the
machine with some coal tar product or
stock dip solution, such as creolin, or
Fer-Sul before resetting or before
storing.

another corner will be underheated.

CARE OF LAMP.

Since most of the great danger of ar
tifcial incubation is the fire loss, one
should be very careful of the lamp, see
ing that it is trimmed and filled daily,
using only the best grade of oil obtain
able. Keep the charred portions of
wick brushed clean and burner clean at
all times. Never fill the bowl of the
lamp full as you may experience fire
should you fail to watch this point. 1t
is the best policy to care for the lamp
in the morning, just after the eggs
have been turned and cooled.

BROODING.

1t is better to keep the hen confined
to the brood coop or small yard than
to allow her to run with the. chickens,
because if she is permitted to run, she
is quite apt to lead them off into the
long, wet grass where they might get
lost, chilled or killed. When a hen is
confined. she will hover the chicks more
and this is very necessary for the first
few days. After the chicks are ten
days pr two weeks old, then the hen
may be allowed to run with them on
good bright days after the dew is dried
off.
If brooder is used, keep it warm
enough so that the chicks can get
warmed up quickly. It 10 we'll to buy
brooder that has two compartments,
hover and scratching compartment.
We have found it best to supply a
trif1e too much heat rather than not
quite enough. However, care should
be exercised not to overhead the chicks
as it will weaken them very quickly.
