DEMOCRATS, REPUBLICANS, PRO
HIRITIoNISTs AND SOCIALISTS
MEET AT MADISON.
Philip ENDORSED BY G. O. P.
Republicans Praise Entire Ticket, But
No Specific Mention of Senator
La Toilette Is Made-AII
Meetings Harmonious.

Madison, Wis, Sept. 20.-Four po-
itical parties-the democrats, repub-
icans, prohibitionists and socialists
held state conventions in this city yes
terday to adopt platforms and indorse
candidates. Harmony prevailed in
each meeting, the programs being car
ried out without hitch
The democratic convention was
crowded out of the state capitol by the
Guardians of Liberty, which is hold
ing three-day session in the senate
chamber. Superintendent Of Public
Property Blumenfeld had assigned the
democratic convention to the base
ment of the capitol, but the delegates
objected to such arrangement and de-
cided to hold their session in the court
house. The convention adopted res
olution criticising Blumenfeld for ode
priving the democratic convention of
its usual meeting place" and for "giv-
Ing preference to the Guardians of
Liberty over the democratic candi-
dates in convention assembled, repre-
senting 10000 voters in the state Of
Wisconsin"

protect the chick from harm If shipped as soon
as dried off, no food will be required, for chicken
needs nothing to eat for the first two days OF
it's existence after leaving the shell, being nour-
ished by the yolk of the egg which it has absorbed
For that reason, people who complain that the
practice of Withholding food is cruel are wasting
their sympathies.
To just what extent these new developments,
will revolutionize the poultry business of the
country no safely even guess. 1t is GER
TAIN though, that hundreds of people who for
merly raised a few chicks each season with hens
will now either send their Matching eggs to Gus
tom hatchery or buy day-old chicks. The expense
is but little greater and hours of fussing with
broody hens are eliminated. People living in the
cities may now keep hens in the back yard, for
they will need ROSTERS and thus avoid the COM
plants of neighbOrS, and can keep breeds which
do not get broody.
One thing is certain, though If the egg pro-
ducers are going to make the most of their OPP
portunities many of them will have to reform
their methods. The statement Is made, apparently
with authority, that there is annual loss of
S45,OOOOOO because of the improper. handling of
eggs Much Of this loss can be traced directly to
the producers-the men and women the farms.
Such facts responsibleIin part for the present
much-discussed high cost of living
Many farmers let their eggs accumulate until
they get basketful, although it may take several
weeks. Fertile and infertile eggs are dumped in
the same lot. If a hidden nest is discovered, the
old hen is shooed away and the halfincubated
eggs are sold along with the others. This is the
reason why the average market egg is unreliable.
Incubation has begun in fertile egg before it is
laid. In few days traces of the embryo may
easily be discovered, even though the egg simply
be kept in a warm room allowed to remain in
the sun. Ordinarily the germ soon perishes, and
then the egg is quickly added to the rotten-egg
class. An unfertile egg may be kept for many
weeks without going bad, although it may get
somewhat stale and consequently unfit for the
table,
Under the present system, the customer is pro-
tected to large extent by the big egg merchants,
who examine the eggs which pass through thei
hands by means Of test known as Gambling. This
Gambling is highly important part Of the business
in most cities, and theNcare and experiences
with which the work is done depends the quality of
the product which the customer secures. The men
who candle eggs become remarkably expert-so
expert that they can handle two eggs in each hand
and grade them at a glance as they are passed
quickly before hole in tin shade placed before
a strong electric light
except in the breeding season will keep longer and
be better than those laid by hens with which a
rooster is running Many people still hold to the
antiquated belief that hens lay better if attended
by a rooster This Is pure fallacy. In point
Of fact the ROSTERS annoy the hens and may

such keen senses that they can keen tha remne,a
ture at close to 103 degrees without referring to
thermometer, Whlcn instrument is never
ployed
Custom Matching in this country is nuite an
other matter, and has been made possible only by
the invention OF incubatOrS of the continuous
type heated from coal-burning furnace and
requiring only comparatively small amount Of
attention. 1t is line of work which farmers
wives and other women can follow with success
and to which farmers themselves, as well as the
owners of large poultry plants, are turning their
attention. Men and women living near the larger
towns and especially if close the railroad sta
ton trolley line, are particularly well sit
uated to do custom Matching, for people keeping
q few hens will come personally with their eggs
and also call for the chckens-just as they do in
Egypt, by the way, except for the means of con-
veyance.
The initial investment need not be large. One
can start with single machine and increase the
size of his plant as business warrants. little
advertising by means of circulars or, better, in
| a newspaper will bring the custom. It is first
necessary, however, to learn all about running
the incubator. 1t would be foolish to seek Gus
| toners before becoming thoroughly familiar with
artificial incubation and making several expert
mental hatchings. These can be made in the fall
or winter.
Along with custom Matching goes the sale of
day-old chicks. This is another line which men
and women in the country elsewhere who have
but little capital may begin in small way and
Increase with their business. The two branches
may well be combined ALSO If at any time there
be a dearth of custom-hatching orders, the ma
chimes may be kept running just the same to fill
orders for newly Matched chickens. For Matching
chicks charge based on the number of eggs in
an incubator tray is often made. IT, for example,
the tray will accommodate Is eggs, the charge
may be So and upwards. Just as much time and
fuel are required for dozen eggs as for Is. OF
course if the eggs to be Matched for several Gus
toners are received at the same time, they can
be placed in the same machine but it will be very
difficult to decide to whom the chicks belong when
they are out of the Shells
If the hatcher is using single machines, 1t IL
wise to employ the smaller sizes. The machines
which come in sections most satisfactory, for
they can be added to like sectional bookcases
as ones business grows. Of course the custom
hatcher takes no responsibility. He does his best
and if the eggs fail to hatch the loss is the GUS
toner's The hatcher has no means of knowing
that they were fertile even, until test at the
end Of five days is made. Likewise, the hatcher
runs no open accounts, if he is WISE A deposit
should he made when the eggs are left, and the
remainder paid when the chicks delivered
Day-old chicks are best sold at flat rate, say
Is cents apiece with delivery charges added.
Strongly made cardboard boxes especially de-
signed for shipping chicks are manufactured and
