Incubator Needs Special Care
Hatch Eggs Well


The incubtor is coming to be q
common piece Of farm equipment
In Kentucky but like the cream
separator or the tractor II cannot
be expected to give the best results
in its work unless il receives lit
tie special attention, experienced
poultrymen say. Making sure that
the machine is in good running or
der a reasonable length Of time be-
fore it is to be used will produce
better results in Matching and save
both time and money for the farm
or. the poultrymen say.
An inventory Of the outfit should
be taken at this time of the year 10
make sure that there is a plentiful
supply of wicks and other articles
that are to be used in any quantity
in turning out the hatch, according
to suggestions by poultrymen at the
College of Agriculture. Costly de-
lays can be prevented by ordering
any needed part Immediately.
In order to make sure that the
machine can be OJsrated at the
proper temperature throughout the
period of incubation it should be
run two or three days before the
eggs are placed in it. Experiments
have shown that temperature Of
1O1 degrees the first week, 102 de-
grees the second week and 1913 de-
grees the third give best results
when a standing thermometer, with
the bulb level with the top OF the
eggs, is used. A temperature Of
I63 degrees throughout the hatch
is best when a hanging thermometer,
with the bulb an inch above the
eggs. is used.
A well-ventilated cellar has been
found to be the best place for the
machine but il never should be
placed in a damp room or on the
second or third floor. Better re-
suits will be obtained if the ma
chine is not set in the direct rays Of
the sunlight.
Before the eggs are placed in the
incubator, the thermometer. may be
tested with the ordinary clinical
one by placing the two in water at
10 degrees and then observing
them to see that the readings cor
respond, especially between 1913 and
101 degrees, as the water cools.

Tobacco Growers Cse Seed Treat
ment

Indications are that many Ken
lucky tobacco growers will try seed
treatment during the coming season
in an effort to control wildfire and
angular leaf spot, the two mos. seri-
Gus diseases of tobacco, occurring in
their fields, according to w. d. VAL
leau, plant pathologist at the Ken
lucky Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton. A number of Christian county
farmers, who recently had almost a
busbel of dark tobacco seed treated
at the station ale among The most
recent ones to employ the method
before planting their seed.
The treatment which gives prom
Use Of rendering the seed disease
free involves the use of bichloride
of mercury which is being recon-
mended in preference to formal
dehyde as the latter resulted in
some injury last year when the seed
was not thoroughly washed, accord
ing to Mr.. Valleau. The seed is
soaked for Is minutes in a solution
made up Of one part of bichloride
and 1000 parts of water after
which it is washed thoroughly in
several changes of clean water.
Metal containers cannot be used in
the soaking process. After the
soaking and washing, the seed is
dried quickly by placing it in
cheese cloth bag and swinging it
around at arms length several
times to remove the surplus water
after which it is spread out in a
thin layer.

ton Of the State which normally
seeds red top or herds grass fol
pasture, according to the special
lists. Good stands and success in
growing the increased acreage will
depend upon proper preparation OF
the seed bed and the use of suffici-
ent seed, the specialists have point
ed out to farmers.
Grasses of all kinds catch best
on seed beds that are compact be-
meath and only loose enough on top
to cover the seed" Ralph Kenney,
one OF the specialists said. Land
growing a cover crop of rye that is
being grazed rather heavily is an
ideal place to sow red top since the
tramping brings the seed in close
contract with the moist earth and
enables it to take roots. II the soil
is loose on fields without cover
crop, it is frequently best to roll the
land Immediately after the grass
has been sown.
I'm spite of the fact that farmers
in many localities of Kentucky sow
only three pounds of red top an
acre, not less than five pounds
should be used and 10 pounds is
not too much. The amount of labor
and trouble necessary to obtain a
thick stand. can be reduced II suffici-
emit quantities of the seed are used
in the first seeding.
I'm seeding red top, it is best to
use a peck of Japan clover to the
acre at the same time. This mix
ture increases the grazing furnish
ed by the red top alone and in
addition tbs clover, which is a
legume, adds to the fertility of the
sell.
Early seedlings, if not killed by
freezing, usually make the largest
crop by mid summer and also usual
ly come through the summer in bet
ter shape. Many farmers sow their
seed one-third at a time at ten days
intervals to insure stand"

Extra Lamb Feed Produces Cheap
err And Faster Gains

Sheep owners who give their
lambs little extra feed at this
time of the year will profit from the
cheaper and faster gains which the
animals are able to make, expert
enced flock owners say. While 1t is
usually best to crack the grain for
young lambs, those that are five OF
six weeks old prefer to do the grind
ing themselves, the sheep men say.
This system of feeding may be start
ed when the lambs are from 10 to
16 days old.
A good grain ration may be
made from two parts of ground
corn, two parts Of ground oats, one
part of linseed oil meal and one
part of wheat bran, according to l..
j. Horlaeher, sheep specialist at the
Kentucky Agricultural Experiment
Station. Glover or alfalfa hay
makes a good supplement for the
grain ration.
In order to keep the ewes away
from the lambs and their feed, a
corner of the barn may be fenced
off and a creep with horizontal OPP
enings constructed for the yovag
animals. Frequent washings with
limewater will keep the troughs
clean enough for the lambs which
do not eat well If these are allowed

HARDING MAKES FARM
LEADER FEDERAL JUDGE

Washington, Jan. 31.- Senator
Kenyon, Iowa, leader of the much
discussed agricultural bloc and chair
pan of the senate. labor committee,
was named today by President Har-
ding to be circuit judge for the
Eighth district. Immediately after
receipt of the nomination, the SEN
ate confirmed it unanimously in
open session.
At the White Houe it was said
that the president had appointed
Mr. Kenyon to succeed Judge Wal
ter /. Smith, because of his high re-
gard for the senator's ability and
because of the latter's known desire
to have place on the federal bench.
Senator Kenyon, in a formal state
when member of the senate, knew
of his dislike for politics and his
love for the law.
In the senate, Senator Harrison,
Democrat, Mississippi, after con-
firmation had been voted said that
while he was confident that the APP
pointment of Mr.. Kenyon was be-
cause of the latter's eminent quali-
fications, the question would arise
throughout the agricultural sec
tions as to whether the selection
was not intended to drive the wedge
into. and ultimately destroy, the ag-
ricultural bloc. Senator Helm,
Democrat, Alabama, declared that
with the Kenyon appointment the
drive to break the agricultural
bloc had started
Senator Kenyon does not plan to
quit the senate until probably the
middle Of February. At that time
he expects passage of the Capper CO.
operative marketing bill in which
he is interested vitality. and with
which he has had much to do as
leader Of the agricultural bloc.

Rich Soils And Good Stock Found
Together

Figures showing that the five
counties in Kentucky having the
highest land values also have the
highest livestock value are being
used by soils specialists at the Col
lege of Agriculture in pointing out
to farmers of the State that good
soils and good livestock are usually
found together.
IN the scheme of agricultural
progress, soil improvement should
so ahead OF, or at least along with,
the grading up of livestock, accord
ing to r. z. Stephenson, one of the
specialists. This is true because
the quality of livestock is Influenced
by the quality of pastures and home
grown feeds. In general farming,
livestock industry cannot be de-
veloped with purchased feeds. the
specialists say.
In the five counties where the
land values were found TO be high
est, or an average Of S19S.45 an
acre, the average value of livestock
wa S75 4 head for beef cattle. $50
: head for dairy cattle. $40 a
head for sheep and 1910 for hogs.
according to the figures which are
taken from the 1920 census,
III The five counties ranking from
sixteenth 10 twentieth in land val
ues. which was an average of $780,
AZ an acre, the value of the beef
cattle, dairy cattle, sheep and hogs
was respectively two-thirds, FIVE

same classes in the five counties

They have left behind them the
noise and hustle, to romp and play
over the great farm at Lyndon, Ky.
They have moved into their cottage
village.
From out Of strange windows 100
little faces peered with the first
streaks of dawn. to look out upon
entirely new fields.
In automobiles furnished by the
Kiwanis Club, the children made
the Is mile journey from the old
quarters on Baxter Avenue, into the
land Of childhood's fancy and
dreams. At one o'clock in the at
ternoon, the first automobile rolled
up before the door Of the old home,
then came another automobile, an
other and another, the long line
stretching into the distance.
Wild cheers resounded from each
upstairs window to greet the XII
wanians and then the clatter of
running feet was the forewarning
of the crowd of surging humanity
that swirled out of doors and about
the machines.
The dream Of life time had been
realized.
Many of the children learned FOR
the first time the unhampered de-
light Of great, open fields to romp
across; these were the children
committed from Louisville and
other Kentucky, cities. Still others
were but returning to fields they
loved. They were children from
the mountains, the coal fields and
other rural sections of the state.
These latter had known only that

fore being taken in under the pro-
lection of the Society.

New York Firemen
Win Final Game
From Chicago, 1916

The New York Fire Department bnse-
ball nine finally defeated the Chicago
team at Ebbetts Field yesterday, and
the victory was earned before the big
gest crowd Of the series. Despite the
fact that Chicago clinched the series
by winning the first two games, about
25,000 loyal fans turned out 10 cheer
for the New York laddies, and were
rewarded for their loyalty with a lS-
toe victory.
The New Workers used a simple but
most effective method in winning the
ball game they punched their hits 30
we'll IN one inning that they scored
nine runs and practically won right
then and there. The big rally came IN
the second inning when the New York
ers Hooked Zwiefka out Of the box and
dashed in squadrons across the plate.
Zwiefka, IL will be remembered, was
rendered somewhat similar reccp-
tion on Friday, but luckily was taken
out in time. Yesterday he was not re-
moved until the damage had been done,
and Pearson. his successor. could not
e1tinguish the New York conhgration.
Nelson finally finished the game and
incidentally pitched very creditably.
Marshall was on the mound for New
York when hostilities opened, and he
got by until the eighth. when Haugh
stepped in, put out the fire and saved
the child.
There was plenty OF excitement,
what with all the big rallies, from the
time that Murray Hilbert, president Of
the Board Of Aldermen. threw out the
first ball until the last out had been
recorded almost three hours later. The
Chicagoans kept battering away az the
lead, and in such game no one smiled
when the Widy City coach yelled that
they needed only seven runs 70 tie.
They never did tie the score, however,
mainly through the good work OF the
fielders. Haugh saved the New York
ers in one instance by making pretty
catch in left field. Bermele. captain OF
the visitors, also did some classy
work IN center field.
