Handling the Eggs.

The first thing is to run the incu-
bator for twenty-four hours to see
that the heat regulator is all right If
no trouble arises from this source the
temperature in the incubator should
fore the eggs are put in. The incu-
bator should be run at this tempera-
ture for a week. then for the second
week at 1913 degrees. A good rule
should read about like this:
First raise the temperature to 1921
degrees before putting in the eggs
Then keep it uniformly at 103 degrees
until the eggs begin to pip If the
temperature should then run UP to 1O4
to the Matching eggs or to the chicks
already out of their shells.
During the first two weeks the eggs
should be aired and turned once a dav.
Fifteen or twenty minutes of airing at
a time will be sufficient. To turn the
eggs easily. remove two from each
row on one side of the tray and gently
roll the others along. placing the two
eggs removed on the other end of the
row. Avoid Earring the eggs or han.
ding them roughly. They should be
turned as gently as a hen would turn
them. The developing membranes are
very delicate and easily ruptured at
the early stages of incubation. If a
rupture occurs the germ dies and de-
veiopment of the embryo ceases.
1t is good practice to test out the
infertile eggs. This should be done
once only from the tenth to the four
teenth day. The longer the time be-
fore testing the eggs the easier it is to
determine the infertile ones and those
with weak germs. These might lust as
well be removed from the incubator.

milk should be allowed to sour quickly
and fed without delay.

There was much soft and chaTy corn
containing a large per cent of moisture
last fall, and many farmers are won
dering what kind of feed it will make
for cattle. In 1902 there was also a
large amount of soft corn, and at that
time the Iowa station conducted an
experiment of feeding soft corn and
matured corn to cattle. w. H. Pew.
professor of animal husbandry, says the
following things about the experiment:
The cattle weighed nearly l,15O
pounds and were divided into two lots
one to be fed soft corn on pasture
from October 10 to November il. soft
corn and hay from November II to
January IL and soft corn, gluten feed
and hay from January ~ to April 10:
the other lot to be fed the same with
the exception that the corn was to be
mature corn of the second year before.
In this test the soft corn contained
35 per cent moisture at the beginning
and Is per cent moisture at the con-
clusion of the test. This test indica ted
that the dry matter in soft corn con-
tanning 35 per cent moisture at the be-
ginning of the test was fully equal in
feeding value to the dry matter in ma
tie; that cattle fed on this corn made
nearly as heavy gains and finished
equally well as those fed on mature
corn; that soft corn purchased at 80
cents per bushel produced gains on
cattle 3.03 cents per pound cheaper
than mature corn purchased at so cents
per bushel.
The am, unt of moisture depends
chiefly on the maturity of the corn
when stricken by the frost The soft
ness of the corn will determine the
class Of cattle to which it ought to be
fed. If the corn was frosted when be-
ginning to dent heavy cattle can be fed
out and finished as indicated above, in
the spring. If the corn was not denied
at the time the frost came light cattle
can be fed on 1t and carried through
tho winter and they can be finished

Live Stock lettings.

In spite of the tremendous increase
in popularity of the automobile among
farmers as well as city residents the
horse has not yet been displaced, nor
has the number of horses on farms and
in rural communities been materially
reduced Satisfies gathered in many
parts of the United States by federal
and state agencies indicate, moreover.
that the horse is an increasingly costly
item of equipment on the average farm.
A compilation of such statistics by the
Minnesota experiment station is sum-
married. thus: Assuming average state
yields of grain and hay for the last
five years and considering the amount
of feed fed annually to horse, the
average farmer is giving close to four
and one-half acres of his best land to
each work horse. This is in addition
to the straw consumed and the pasture
used, which also may be highly pro-
ductive land. In view of these esti-
mates, which are declared to be con-
sentative, it is well to be sure that
such costly farm equipment receives
proper care and attention. to the end
that it returns an equivalent in pro-
ductive work.

Value of Moisture and Air.

The mother hen is an organism with
vital pawers. When she sits on eggs
the heat of the body throws off mois-
ture which is charged with carbon
dioxide. An incubator by itself can
not do this. The vital and chemical
effects are being studied with sitting
hens in order to learn the best methods
of running an incubator. From prac-
teal experience in the handling of sit
ting hens, the scientific poultryman is
learning more about artificial incuba-
ton every season. The time to apply
moisture and air to the eggs is now
known to have an Important erect on
the results of the hatch. While oxygen
is needed abundantly during the later
stages of artificial Matching, the value
of carbon. dioxide must also not be
overlooked during the whole period.
In an incubator the heat OF cOmbuS-
ton produces moisture and carbon
dioxide. AS in the case with sitting
hens. both of these factors are valuable
and necessary in artificial incubation.
When this gas comes in contact with
moisture it forms carbonic acid. The
effect of carbonic acid Is to disinte-
crate the eggshell. When that takes
place, as under natural conditions, the
chick can break through the shell more
readily. When chicks fully formed are
found dead in the shell-it may be safely
concluded they have died from ex
haustion. They were unable to break
the shell because it had not been
sufficiently disintegrated.
These are the conditions which the
poultryman who uses an incubator
must strive to initiate closely. If they
are followed carefully and If the eggs
used are laid by vigorous stock, the
results of artificial incubation may
compare favorably with those from
natural Matching in the number of
chicks Matched and in their vitality
These are the results which we are
striving to attain.

Importance of Uniform Heat, Moist

The natural process of Matching re-

The normal temperature of sitting
hen is between 1913 and 104 degrees.
While she is sitting a certain amount
of bodily moisture comes in contact
with the eggs. Air circulates about the
eggs through the feathers These are
the conditions of natural incubation.
They must be approached very closely
in artificial incubation to secure good
results

Application of Moisture.

There are several ways of introduce
ing moisture into the incubator. A
small pan of warm water may be placed
in the egg chamber about the eight
zenith DAY and kept there until the
hatch is completed. Another plan is to
sprinkle the eggs with warm water, be-
ginning about the fifteenth day and
continuing to do SO until the chicks
begin to pip the shell. Then it is a
good plan to wiring a cloth that has
been dipped in warm water and spread
it over the tray of eggs, If this cloth
dries out rapidly this may be done the
object of the damp cloth is to soften
the membranes lying close to the she'll,
which thus prevents the chick from
sticking to 1t: The main thing, how
ever, is that It aids In the disintegra-

Place for an Incubator.

Many experiment stations have reg
ular incubator cellars for artificial
Matching In such a place it Is easier
to keep an even temperature In the In
cubator and to retain the moisture bet
ter An important thing is to see that
the place is well ventilated. The pre-
caution should be taken that the in
cubator does not stand in draught.
Since heat takes the place of vital en-
ergy in artificial Matching, it is lmpor-
tant that the temperature surrounding
the incubator be kept as uniform as
possible
Poor results are often charged against
the incubator when the eggs are en-
tirely at fault Good eggs can be
produced only from strong and vigorous
stock. The first principle in scientlnc
breeding is that only vigorous stock
produces eggs with strong germs. Half
the means of success exist in the eggs
before the incubator Is started at all.
If these conditions are fulfilled the
matter of running an incubator to get
satisfactory results in strong chicks
and lots of them is not difficult.
