Because Of the many factors enter

the best equipment he can procure of

expense is larger than If he had used

After the poultryman has made up
his mind to buy an incubator, he is
confronted with the question of makes
and sizes. As general rule, cheap
machine is poor investment, requir-
ing more attention than good one and
wearing out quicker besides being less
dependable. The value of the machine
Is small compared with that of the
eggs used during the normal life of an
incubator. II is poor economy, there

liable. Whenever possible ii is we'll

Varies With Needs.
The best size of incubator to buy
varies with numerous circumstances,
say poultry specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
About as much time is required to
care for a 60 as for a 360-egg ma
chine; 1t, is usually advisable to get
one of at least 150-egg CAPACITY. Spe-
cial conditions, though often exist
which make smaller machines valu-
able.
A small machine is often used in
connection with larger one, all eggs
being placed in the large machine after
the first or second test. Many poultry
men believe that 1t pays to have an In
cubator large enough to hatch the bulk
Of their stock in two or three matches,
so that much time is saved in tending
to the incubators and brooders. In
addition the chickens are more uni
form in size than those Matched when
the incubating period extends over a
longer time.
A fair estimate for poultry farm Is
nm incubator of one-egg capacity pei
hen, provided that about onehalf of
the flock Is to be renewed yearly and
no outside Matching is carried on. The
larger machines cost less In proportion
to their capacity than the smaller ones

such as the western farmers have
come to dread, it is said, but the
birds assist materially in the efforts
made by man to control the pest. i
Specialists say that poisoning CAM
paigns are among the best weapons
used against the grasshopper. From
time TO time reports are sent In, say
ing that many birds have fallen VIC

for the insects. Such charges were
associated with the gypsy-moth spray
ing campaign In New England and
with the laying of poisoned mashes
for cut worms and other insects. Care

shows that the bird losses from such.
causes are insignificant. Some birds.

presence of poison placed for insects
or vermin; the quail In California
were not harmed by the bats that
were set ont to kin ground squirrels
though the campaign was general
one and was conducted with much In
tensity. In the Dakotas few birds

BY killing stray cats and chasing

can become party to sort Of de-

him repulse the raid, specialists say
