POOR MATCHES IN INCUBATOR
carelessness in Manipulation of Ma
chine Is Sure to Bring Dis
astrous Results.

Many causes for poor matches Of
chicks in incubators can be traced to
the operators not educating themselves
on what is necessary in the way of
fertile eggs, saving eggs for incuba-
ton and taking care Of them. Eggs
for incubation should be kept in a
well ventilated room with medium tenn
perature. All eggs should be turned
at least once every "a hours, and no
eggs should be over ten days or two
weeks old at the outside.
One should be careful to strictly fol-
low the directions accompanying the
incubator. The directions for one
make of machine do not always do
for that of another make, for the
Ventilation, regulation, ETC., may be
different
The principal reason why. young
chicks die in the shell about the
eighteenth day is a poorly ventilated
room.
Other causes than poorly ventilated
rooms are poorly ventilated incubators.
and eggs are not properly fortified.
An egg poorly fortified will start to
grow and die for lack Of vitality.
Opening up the incubator during the
latter part of the hatch, or about
the time the chicks begin to pip, lets
out the moisture and dries the chicken
up IN the shell, Or. In other words,
stops the pores of the shell. and causes
great many to die. Under, no con-
ditfon should the incubator be opened
after the eighteenth day until the
chicks are entirely Matched.
AS rule, beginners with incubators
do not read the book of directions
properly. Many person who has
seen an incubator, ard probably run
hatch Of some other make thinks he
knows all about it. does not read
the directions and makes a fiat fail
ure every time. Sometimes no consid-
Grafton is given to the ventilation Of
the room in which the machine is
placed. Possibly there may be- de-
cayed vegetables therein, or the air
Is stale.
There are few failures nowadays by
poorly regulated ineubators, except
I'm the cheaper line of machines where
the temperature will change 10. II

tfced here at home by having a green
hand set an incubator, says writer in
an exchange. He reads the directions,
maybe thinks he has learned them
by heart, sets his regulator as soon
as the thermometer gets to 1O3, turns
the thumb screw where he supposes
is right, and places the eggs in the
machine.
Now, the thumb screw and regulator
is very tender affair, and one turn
Of the thumb screw will cause a change
In the atmosphere inside the incuba-
tor of three to four degrees. It should
be turned slightly, about one-fOurth Of
the way round, so the temperature
stands just at 1O3.
A great mistake is made by paying
too much attention to an incubator.
I never see to my machine more than
twice day, once in the morning and
once in the evening. I see that the
regulator is set properly and every
thing running nicely before putting
in the eggs, and then place the eggs
in it and do not touch the regulator.
At first it will lower the temperature
little when the eggs are put in,
but if the regulator is properly set,
the temperature will rise to the prop
er degree.

arrival at Vera Cruz last night Colonel
Silviano Garcia, commander of the gar
rison at Quimixtlan, who was injured
in the earthquake, reported that one
hundred soldiers of his forces had per-
ished under the ruins, and also that

villages Of Dishuacan and Anaxa-
comulco, which had been occupied by
the rebels, we're totally destroyed, to-
gether with all the inhabitants.
