10 the agricultural interests OF this
country. Secretary of Agriculture
Meredith in a magnificent address al
the American Bankers Association last

duets had declined in the past ninety
days over two billion and five hundred

Cotton, sugar and rice are our staple

incubating capacity OF less than 1000
to 1000 eggs is desired, individual in
cubators OF the so to 400 size are
generally used. :.
Many poultrymen believe that Il

large enough to hatch the bulk of
their stock in two or three patches,
so that much time is saved in tending

the chickens are more even in size
than those that are Matched when the
mcubating period extends over long

SELECTING THE
BEST INCUBATOR
Federal Specialists Tell Wheth-
er to Buy or Not to Buy
An Incubator.
KINDS OF MACHINES.

When only small number OF hens
are kept it is doubtful whether an in
cubator is a profitable Investment
but if two or three small poultry
flock owners living near each other
buy and use one comparatively, 1t
doubtless would be. Especially is this
true if the hens kept are of a non
sitting breed like the White Leghorn.
Even hens that come from a type
supposed to be good sitters, may
prove notional about it some years.
Being feminine, they doubtless have
a right to be temperamental, but the
exercise of that right is likely to up
set the plans of their owners, and an
incubator at such times comes in very
handy.
1t often pays with hens that brood
late to use a machine for incubation
and then turn the chicks over to a
broody hen. Hens that have been
broody for four or FIVE days are usual
ly willing to mother incubator chicks
especially if two or three eggs are
placed under her and allowed to hatch
there, and the poultryman is spared
the trouble of owning or operating a
brooder.

BREcKINRrDoE COUNTY
HAS TOTAL OF e7
FoREIGN-BORN CITIZENS.

Some interesting data on the for
eign born citizens of Kentucky is
furnished by the reports of DR.. John
L. Patterson, dean of the Univers-
ity of Louisville. who made a sur
vey of the foreign born citizens OF
the state, at the request OF Coleman
DUPONT, of New York. who is presi-
dent OF the Inter-Racial Council OF
America.
DIR. Patterson's report shows that
only four counties OF the State, JET
ferson, Fayette, Kenton and Camp
bell have more than 500 foreign born
population. OF these Jefferson leads
with 1928. Only ten counties have
such a population OF over 200, and
two counties, Knott and Monroe, do
not have a single foreign born citizen
Eight have only one each and twenty.
seven have less than ten each. All OF
the counties of extremely small for
eign born citizens are mountain coun-
ties
Daviess and nearby counties are re-
ported to have the following of for
eign born citizens:
Daviess, 31s; Butler, o; Breckin-
ridge, 81; Grayson, AZ; Hancock, So;
Henderson, 36s; Hopkins, 116; Nc

WHY EA
HEADACHE?
Various Causes For This Com
mon Affliction.
Anemia Or Bloodlessness A
Very Common Cause
Pepto-Mangan Overcomes
Anemia and Tends to
Prevent Headaches.

When one has an occasional head
ache it is usually due to some tran
silent or passing cause, such as in
digestion, eyestrain, over-tiredness,
etc. When, however, one suffers from
frequent periodic headaches there is
always some special reason for it.
Among the most common of such
reasons is Anemia or Bloodlessness.
This condition is especially frequent
among girls and young women and
those whose occupations or habits OF
life keep them too much indoors. The
one important necessity is such cases
is to build up the quantity and quality
of the weak and watery blood. GUIDE
Pepto- Mangan is exceptionally valu-
able for this purpose. 1t increases the
number and improves the quality OF
the red blood cells, those vital little
bodies which carry nutrition to all
parts OF the body. 1t improves the
appetite, imparts color to the face
and restores health and strength to
the body generally. After a short
course of Pepto- Mangan the head
aches decrease in frequency and
severity, and finally disappear, if they
they are due to Anemia. Pepto- M an
gan may be had either i'll liquid OF
tablet form, as preferred. When buy
ing Pepto- Mangan be sure the name
Guides" is on the package. Without
Guides" it is not Pepto-Mangan.-

How Large Shall 1t Be9

Circumstances must govern to
large extent the size OF machine to
buy. 1t takes about as much time to
care for a 60 as it does $50 egg
machine, so that it is advisable to get
one of at least 15O-egg capacity, al
though special conditions often exist
which make the small machine valu-
able. A small machine is often used in
connection with larger one, placing
all the eggs in the large machine after
the first or second test. lncubators OF
300 to 400 egg capacity are commonly
used on those large farms which use

Kinds of Machines.

There are many different types OF
incubators on the market, but they
NAV all be roughly classified as: Hot
air, hot-water, or very large machines.
Both moisture" Chose providing
means of adding moisture to the air
of the machine) and "nonmoisture"
incubators those which it is claimed
require no added moisture) are made
in the different styles OF hot-air and
hot-water machines. Most OF the small
machines are heated by burning kero-
sene oil or gas, while the majority OF
the very large machines use a coal
stove for supplying heat. Electricity is
also used for heating both in the small
and very large machines.
Both the hot-air and the hot-water
type of incubator have been used sue
cessfully throughout the country. The
large machines are used both in the
day-old chick business and in custom
Matching. Their capacity varies from
1900 to 10000 or more eggs. The
machines are built in sections OF a
bout 1000 eggs each, the size vary
ing in different makes.
There are large number OF reliable
makes manufactured III thio ouht
Some kinds have become popular in
certain sections because they have
been advertised extensively in that
locality rather than on account OF
adaptation to climate considerations.
Cheap machines are less reliable, re-
require more attention, and wear out
much quicker than higher priced in
cubators. AS the value of the machines
is small compared with the value OF
the eggs used during the normal life
of an incubator, it is poor. economy to
purchase machine which is not re-
liable. Whenever possible it is we'll to
select an incubator which is giving
good satisfaction in your neighbor'
hood, so that you may have the bene-
fit of the experience of the other
operators in your section.
