Ancient Incubator Methods
Now Are Employed in Egypt

TT is surprising to learn that, in cer-
tain portions of Egypt, chickens
are incubated today just as in bib
lical times. on scale and by method
astonishing to occidental poultry
raisers.
1t is, of course, known to the ex-
pert in such matters that incubation
was conducted In ancient Egypt: but
1t Is probable that few of the experts
even know that incubation there is
still accomplished by the same archaic
means.
In this relation an American expert
attached to our Department OF Agri-
culture tells of a visit to lonely
village lying in the midst of dry
Egyptian sands where such an in
cubator was in operation. The pro-
prietor was an aged Arab.
The incubator. like the house that
adjoined it. was built of adobe and
shaped like a bee hive. One entered
it by a small oval door. The place
is filled with smoke, but one dis
tinguishes within the great beehive
like structure six objects resembling
smaller bee-hives, three on each side.
Each of these Is raised on a table
above the floor and is pierced with
q small oval opening. These are the
ovens They are supplied with heat
from circular fireplaces beneath, in
which straw and chaff are kept
smoldering without coming to a blaze.
In each oven there are usually kept
no fewer than 5000 eggs. There is

Electrical Coin Counting.

VERY few of us have any trouble
in counting our coin by hand. In
mints, however. in banking houses. in
offices of electric railways and in
many other establishments vast
quantities of coin must be counted
and packed daily.
An electrical machine OF the most
improved type counts coins OF any
size from pennies to dollars. and
wraps them at the rate of 420 a
minute as long as the current Is
transmitted and the coins are fed
into the hopper.
An expert, while he Is iu good
working trim, can count and wrap
fifty coins a minute; SO it will be
seen that the machine does the work
of eight men.
The services of a man are, how
ever. required to operate the machine,
his work consisting of sorting the
coins. picking out plugged pieces,
blanks and buttons, which in soma
cases seem to get mixed with good
money.
The machine receives the sorted
coins at one end and delivers them all
smoothly rolled in punches to suit
and with the wrapper pasted.
1t Is the invention of a man whoss
business it was to collect coins from
slot machines and to sort, count and
bundle them.

an open spot in the center where
one of the children of the proprietor
crawls in to turn the eggs.
One oven happened to be Matching
when the American arrived and it was
a wonderful sight for him to behold
the chickens popping out by the doz-
ems. A boy inside was busy clearing
away the shells and also gathering up
handfuls Of chickens when dry and
tossing them out on a pile of chaff
Naturally the American was as
tonished by the sight. and still more
amazed when he was assured by the
Arab that his ancestors had incu-
bated in this way as far back as human
memory reached.
The visitor asked the Arab what
percentage of the eggs hatched out,
and in turn the Arab put the same
question with reference to incubation
in the United States When he was
told that it was from 80 to 40 per
cent, he laughed and stated that, in
his case. such a yield would mean
starvation. In Egypt, he explained.
one must obtain 80 per cent
He added that he matches for 40
neighbors for Ave months in the year
beginning in January, getting 5000
eggs from each He is paid S5 for
his work by each of his customers
Further he is allowed to keep all the
chickens over 1000 Matched. which is
the source of his profit. Contrary to
our method. the Egyptian never
moistens the eggs.
