A few years ago. shortly after the
perfection of mammoth incubators heat
ed by hot water, with capacities up
to 10000 eggs for a single machine.
commercial baby chick hatcheries were
moth fncubators made it possible to
hatch chicks economically, and poultry
men were quick to take advantage Of
them. Today there are farms with in
cubators having a capacity Of more
than 10000 eggs.
The baby-chick hatchery has now
become a standard department in the
poultry industry. and farms which are
making regulations for their output
are putting their best efforts into this
branch of the business. The founda-
tion of the baby-chick hatchery must
have been made many years ago.
Special attention to breeding stock Is
agement are vital from the standpoint
of profits, because the better the con-
dition Of the hocks. so in proportion
will be the output of strong, healthy
chicks.
Fertility is the greatest factor in Sc
lecting eggs for Matching and the sue
cessful growth of the baby chick. 1t Is
owing to this factor that the baby
chick industry has grown into favor.
because 1t is absolutely necessary to
have eggs of high fertility and strong
terminating power to make the baby
chick department a paying proposition.
Strong. healthy, vigorous breeding
stock is the only means of securing
eggs Of high fertility. with strong
terminating properties. And it is upon
the quality Of their breeding stock that
the reputation of the farm rests. Buy
ers Of baby chicks have learned to
look for this quality.
Because of the rigid requirements of
the successful baby chick producer this
grow larger each year. It will relieve
the small poultryman of the necessity
of maintaining a Matching department
with its losses and disappointments. 1t
gives the amateur the result of the
stock, equipment and experience of the
expert and places him in a position
to secure any number of chicks, of any
variety, at almost any season of the
year and at a nominal cost. These ad-
vantages must be recognized. AT the
present writing there are farms which
previously kept breeding flock and
produced their own chicks, which are
now replenishing their laying flock
with baby chicks from the commercial
hatcheries.
The uniform safety with which
chicks may be- shipped Is another
factor in favor of the development of
the baby-chick industry. Baby chicks
may be shipped any distance. provided
the destination is reached within thir-
ty-six hours. It Is not the distance in
miles, SO much as the time required,
which affects the safety of the chicks
Baby chicks should not be fed during
period they should be kept quiet and

GOVERNMENT OF BRAZIL
THINKS GERMANS LOYAL

The Brazilian government anticipates
no serious trouble with large colony
of Germans in Brazil and has already
been assured of the loyalty of Brazil
ians of German descent. A note handed
to Secretary Lansing by the Brazilian
ambassador, Domicio DaGama, and
made public today, dealing with that
situation, follows:
MY government wishes me to rectify
false reports and endeavor to modify
the current impression in the United
States about the concern given us in
South Brazil by the Germans
The Almanach de Gotha puts the
figure of German immigration in Bra
gil from 1920 to 1914 at 122.661. 1t is
ties forbade their subjects to emigrate
to Brazil Emigrants to lands where
the language. laws and customs diff
fer from theirs will naturally seek
parts where their countrymen have al
ready settled or the climatic conditions
are most favorable.
These aggregatfons, peaceful, order
ly and Industrious as they are, do not
constitute peril to the Brazilian ma
tional unity. At this very time. on
the occasion of the disconnected incl
dents born of the intense feeling
aroused by the torpedoing of the Bra
lillian steamer Parana and the break
in relations with Germany, the federal
government received spontaneous dec
larations of fealty and support from
the Brazilians OF German descent who.
like those of Latin European descent.
declare themselves ready to serve their
country.
Those incidents, one at Sac PABLO.
another at Porto Allegro and another
at Rio Grande do Sui. were promptly
