Incubators Must Be Regulated.

If an incubator is TO be purchased,
the order for it should be given in
time to have the machine set up,
tested and regulated at least two days
before it is TO be used, which will re-
ouire at least week. II often hap
pens that in the desire to start incu-
baton as quickly as possible and TO
prevent delay in Matching the eggs
are put into the machine before 1t is
properly regulated. usually with dis
astrous results. and when machine
is TO be shipped from distant fac
tory the order for it should be sent
in q least a month in advance of the
time set for it's use.
Many questions come to me as to
the value and use of the incubators.
The amateur poultry keeper Is, as
a rule ambitious to own one. This
ambition is natural, and often COM
nlendable. hut in too many cases 1t
is due to the influence of advertise
ments that tell only a part Of the
story and of sensational articles pub
lishsd in certain papers and maya
zines. and so often incu bators are
bo Tsht, operated for a while and dis
casded after one or two seasons of
actual use. Much of this could be
avoided If the prospective purchaser
knew more about the relative merits
of the different machines and some
thing of their demands upon his time.
There is no doubt that the Incubator
has it's place in the poultry work,
and il comes within our sphere 10 find
out what that place is. II is usually
conceded that where more than two
or three hundred chickens are to be
hatched an incubator is most E3iua-
bic. and where as many rs 900 are
to be hatched it is almost a necessity.
This is also true where the small
non-sitting breeds only are kept and
the chicks are hatched on the place.
However, it may be advisable in many
cases not to hatch the chickens at
all, either with hens or incubators.
but to buy the day-old chicks from
some reputable hatchery

Many Big Plants Closed Down.

TWO years ago when prices of poul-
try feed and foodstuffS began to soar.
owners of many big poultry plants
or farms went out of business, for
the time being at least, while farm
ers and small producers materially
reduced the sizes of their fiocks, be-
cause of the supposedly prohi bitive
price of the necessary feed; and yet
our work in the state of Maryland
has shown clearly and definitely that
in spite of the existing high prices
of feedstuffs fowls that have been
properly fed and cared for during the
past two winters have been kept at
a profit while those improperly fed
and cared for have been kept at a
interest among poultry keepers in
the application of scientifically cor
rect methods to the care of poultry
is being brought about and the good
old days OF caring for all kinds of
live stock in haphaZard manner are
rapidly passing.
During the winters OF 1917, 1918
and 1919 the average price of eggs
was sufficiently high to offset the
high cost of feedstuffs and to give to
the poultry keeper who is master of
his business a satisfactory profit,
Unfortunately, however. many poul-
trymen are not familiar with the fun
damental principles governing the
different phases of their work. in
cluding that OF feeding. breeding, in
cubation, brooding and housing. and
because of the high cost of feed,
that on so many poultry plants bust
ness has been suspended 1t is upon
these fundamental principles that es-
peciaI stress will be placed in the
discussions in these articles.

Hatching in Spring Months.

AS spring comes on the experienced
pou1tryman begins to prepare for his
incubation work. March and April
are the ideal months for the Matching
of young chickens, March for the
larger breeds such as the Plymouth
Rocks, the Wyandottes and the Rhode
Island Reds, and April for the lighter
breeds as the Leghorns, Anconas and
others of small size. The Plymouth
Rocks are a breed that requires a
somewhat longer period for growth
than either the Wyandottes or the
Reds, therefore, they should be
Matched as early in March as possible
while the Wyandottes and Rhode
Island Reds need not be hatched un
til the latter part of the month.
Rhode Island Reds il hatched early
in April should be ready to lay on or
before the 1st of November. AS the

Leghorns mature more rapidly, late
April hatched or early May hatched
pullets, if fed for rapid growth, will
often begin to lay in October. safe
principle to follow is to hatch all
chicks by May 1st. But in the prepa
ration for this work we find many
poultry keepers who put off these
things until the last minute. and
those who follow this practice seldom
qualify as successful poultrymen.
There are the incubators to be over
hauled and repaired; the lamps and
thermometers to be tested. wicks
fuel disinfectants and lice powders tn
be purchased. old nest boxes to be re-
paired, cleaned and disinfeeted, new
nests to be made. and suitable quar-
ters provided for the sitting hens; SO
that when the time comes to set the
eggs everything SHOULD be in readi-
ness.

NATIONS CAPITAL DOES
NOT FORGET THE NEEDY

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-candy,
cigarettes cigars, nuts and fruits held
sway as Christmas celebration mate
rials today as never before.
This was ascribed by government
Officials and experts as due to fail
ure of wet forces to revive John Bar
lycorn, who. it had been fervently
hoped. would he able to take his old
time part in Yuietide festivities.
Despite the fact that the public Is
putting all its spare coin in unneces-
sary luxuries, it has not forgot the un-
fortunates. In the city there is more
than ever before being done for the
poor, especially for the children. That
this is true in most other cities is up
held by the statement from the dead
letter office of the postoffice, that few
ere letters have been receivd for Santa
CLAUS this year from the poor chill
dren.
With the country's executives. this
Christmas will be more of a celebra-
tion than for some years although a
number of the cabinet members will
press of duties.
AT tine w mite House, iflDie cisSi-
full Christmas is expected than
Thanksgiving was. The president will
be more able to eat his turkey it is
believed and South Trimble clerk of
the house of Representatives, followed
his custom of years and sent bump
er turkey TO the president from his
southern farm.

YEAR DISASTROUS TO
IDAHO BECAUSE OF
TIMBER FIRE LOSS
Private Corporations Failed to
Assume Responsibilities in
Connection With Blaze
Fighting; I. w, w. Blamed.

BOISE. Dec. 27.--The year just clos
Ing was one of the most disastrous In
the history of the state in the point of
fires. due to the fact that private cor
porations owning timber failed to as
sumo their responsibilities in connec-
tton with fire e-fighting and because
they engaged Inefficient workmen, in
/. w. w. and others. This is the
charge OF state Land Commissioner
Nash.
The actual destruction of timber
this year was great. Lack of finan-
ces has hindered the state work, while
failure of private corporations to burn
their slashings and failure to shoul-
der their financial responsibilities put
the whole burden OF protection of the
forests on the state and the protec-
tive fire associations.
THE state has already refused to
pay some Of the fire claims submitted
and has Instituted an Investigation to
ascertain what portion of the expense
involved should be carried by private
corporations.
The Pend Oreille association spent
$4,000 for fire fighting in 1919.
There were 81 fires in forests under
It's Jurisdiction and the damage done
is estimated as the destruction of a
million feet Of timber. Fires burned
over an area of $1,000 acres other
protective associations had similar ex
periences."

TOURIST TRAVEL IN
NORTHWEST EXPANDS;
1920 TIDE is RISING
Resolutions From st. Paul Con-
vention Ask 100000 I'm
provement of Roads to Mt.
Rainier, Mt. Baker and Cra-
ter Lake.

SEATTLE. Dec. 27.-Heavy invrease
in tourist travel noticeable during 1919
will be even greater during 1920. ac-
cording to Herbert cuthbert, executive
secretary Of the Pacific Northwest
Tourist Association, who has Just re-
turned from months trip 80 eastern
cities arranging with tourist agencies
and railway traffic officials to direct
the rising tide of tourist travel to the
Pacific Northwest.
Tourist agents and traffic officials
all predict a large increase in travel
to the Pacific Northwest for 1920. Mr..
Cuthbert states, basing their predic-
tions on awakened interest in the
Pacific Northwest, throughout the
United States and Canada and the
large increase of travel shown in 1919.
Resolutions As Bcttermcnt
Mr.. Cuthbert spoke upon the Pacific
Northwest tourist campaign at the
convention of commercial and tourist
associations secretaries at St. Paul and
secured the passage of resolutions to
congress in support of requested ap-
propriations for road work and other
improvements in the national parks,
following this up by taking the resolu-
personal work with congressional COM
mittees and Western members of con-
gress TO secure the passage of the ap-
preparations. Mount Rainier National
Park, Mt. Baker and Crater Lake are
each included for appropriations Of
100000 and up for road work along
in the recommendation to congress of
the forestry and national park de-
partments.
"All indications give assurance that
the tourist traffic of 1920 will exceed
the record breaking travel of 1918"
said Mr.. Cuthbert. Il have no longer
any fear that tourist travel to Europe
will seriously effect travel to the Pacf-
fic Northwest for several reasons. one
OF the principal reasons is that SO
many people have to travel to Europe
on business now that transportation
companies cannot take care of enough
tourists to seriously interfere with
tourist travel in America.
.sSee America Now
''Thmis is the year We should endu-
ate people to see America now, for if
we ence get Americans er1thused over
the beauties and attractions of their
own country, the travel to Europe will
not materially effect tourist travel in
this country. My slogan all through
the East has been: See America now
make every American desire to see his
own country and proud of his country.
