WHAT DAY-OLD CHICKS MEAN
TO THE POULTRY INDUSTRY

tage of them. To-day there are farms
with incubators having a capacity of
over 100000 eggs.
The baby chick hatchery has now
become 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-
ton of the baby chick hatchery must
have been made many years ago.
Special attention to breeding stock is
essential to success. Its care and man.
agement is vital from the standpoint
of profits, because the better the con-
dition of the ffocks, so in proportion
will be the output of strong, healthy
chicks.
Chick Producers are Specialists.
Besides being a specialist in incu-
batting, the successful baby chick pro-
ducer must be a practical poultryman
with thorough knowledge of all other
branches of the industry. These
specialists in incubating have spent
years in the Matching department.
They have made a study of the cli-
matte conditions affecting the proper
working of their incubators in con-
nection with the regulation of mois-
ture and ventilation. They adjust their
incubators until they will turn out the
maximum number of chicks. A care
full study of the conditions affecting
the proper Matching of the eggs re-
ceives their constant attention. With
out perfect eggs, in perfect condition,
it is useless to begin Matching. To
hatch strong, healthy chicks the eggs
must be selected for size, shape and
condition of the shell. These features
affect their Matching qualities to a
marked degree. A thorough method
of gathering and storing the eggs be-
fore incubating is another feature
which must be guarded il best results
are to be obtained.
Importance of Strong Fertility
Fertility is the greatest factor in Sc
lecting eggs for Matching and the sue

Eczema Is Conquered

Greasy salves and ointments should
not be applied if good clear skin is
wanted. From any druggist for 25c or
Sl.OO for extra large size, get bottle
of zemo. When applied as directed, it
effectively removes eczema, quickly
stops itching, and heals skin troubles,
also sores, burns, wounds and chafng.
1t penetrates, cleanses and soothes.
Zemo is clean, dependable and mex
pensive, penetrating, antiseptic liquid.
Try it, as we believe nothing you have
ever used is as effective and satisfying.

Commercial baby chick Matching is
not a modern industry. in the strict
sense of the term, though in recent
years it has become very popular, and
one of the foremost branches of pOul-
try culture. Commercial hatchePies
were in vogue long before the Chris
tian era. Historians tell us the Egyp-
tians made il business to hatch and
supply day-old chicks to farmers, who
often Travelled long distances for them
Baby chick hatcheries were also very
active in China centuries ago. The
methods of these ancients, however,
were of considerable difference 1t was
the practice in Egypt to place eggs for
matching on the floor of cavc-like
building and supply the heat from an
adjoining room. In China the eggs
were placed in large baskets or Jars.
carefully covered. and then set aside
to receive the action of the heat of
the sun.
A few years ago. shortly after the
perfection of mammoth incubators
heated by hot water, with capacities
up to 10000 eggs for a single machine,
commercial baby chick hatcheries
were started in this country. These
mammoth incubators made it possible
to hatch chicks economically, and
poultrymen were quick to take advan-

COMMISSION TO FIX THE
PRICES OF NEWS PRINT

paper manufacturers, facing criminal
prosecution in United States courts
for alleged combination in restraint
of trade, proposed to the federal
trade commission today that it fix

the principal plants of the United
States and Canada. The commission
announced tonight it had the pro-
posal under consideration and would
reply Immediately. 1t is generally
believed the answer will be an ac-

The action of the manufacturers
gives a signal victory to American

posal is accepted officials say it will
