ing her rest period between clutches of
eggs in spell of quiet contemplation un-
less another hon can be found imme-
diately to take her place. and this Is often
a difficult task, the eggs will chill and
spoil. Had there been a small incubator
on the promises this contingency could
have been met; the eggs could have been
removed from the abandoned nest and
placed in the warm Incubator and hatch
ed. or kept there until another hen was
found to take over the contract.
Many valuable Matching eggs may he

alone is well worth the price of small

OUR GERMAN POPULATION.
Some Exception Takes to Figures That
Were supposed to he official.

From the Philadelphia Press, May -
Bureau of the Census, April &c, 1916
Dear Sir--In your issue Of April II, 1916,
under the head "Our German Popula-
ton" you printed an editorial purportng
to be based on statistics Of German
population and German immigration
(which have just been assembled by the
United states census bureau" / should
be glad to know from what source you
obtained these figures, as no such COM
plation has been made by the bureau
of the census.
The figure given as representing the
number Of persons Of German birth in
the United States at the present time
seems to have been obtained by adding
to the number of persons of German
birth reported at the census of 1910 the
number who mmgrated during the fis-
cal years ending June 20. 1911. 1912, 1913
and 1914 Taking the immigration figures
as given in your editorial, the total
thus obtained would be o,603,75s which
is practically the same as the total
you quote, viz, 2,G03,716 This calcula-
lions. however, fails to take into aC-
count certain important factors other
than the German population on April 10,
1910 and the German immigration since
that date. The most important of
these is the death rate. II apparently
did not occur to the person who made
this calculation that considerable
number of tie two and one-half mill
lions of Germans present in this coun.
try six years ago must have died since
that date-to say nothing Of the deaths
1
this country during the past six years,
The average annual death rate among
the white population of the United
States is between thirteen and fourteen
per loo population. on this basis, then.
some 10000 of the two and half mil
lions of Germans present in this coin
try on April 10, 1910, have died between
that date and the present time The
number OF deaths among the imml-
grants who have arrived since that date
would I've factor worthy of considera-
ton, although greatly less than the num-
Der of deaths among the German-born
population OF April Is, 1910.
Then, too, some Of the Germans In this
country on April l5 1910 and some OF
those who have since come here have
returned to Germany The reports 81
the bureau of immigration show these
numbers. hut the person who compiled
the figures cited in your edtoria,
neglected to take them into considera-
ton.
The number Of Germans who came 70

July /, 1910 Ghe beginning OF the fisca
year 19lD, together with the number

BY ROBERT ARMSTRONG
Experienced Poultryman.

The season has been backward in many
sections of the country, and due to this
prolonged cold the hens have been reluc-
tant to sit and hatch. Many farmers
complain that they have not a single
broody hen. This condition means late
broods; too late, perhaps. to have the
puletS mature early enough for fall lay
ers. You. perhaps, are in the same plight;
yet there is remedy. Purchase an in
cubator at once: that is the solution; you
can then defy weather, time and the per-
versity of the hen.
