INCUBATION OF TURKEY EGGS
Bv Prof. III. ID. Munroe

Artificial incubation is more sat
isfactory than natural Matching ami
is necessary for large operations.
1t is generally believed that more
moisture is required than for hatch
ing chicken eggs. This may be true
but from past experiences it has
been found that many poor matches
have been caused by supplying too
much moisture. Many young tur-
keys die in the shell from excessive
moisture.
It is very important to watch the
drying down" of turkey eggs dur
ing incubation. The air space must
increase noticeably each week. Fifty
average sized turkey eggs should
lose one ounce weight each week
during incubation.
A chicken hen will hatch turkey
eggs successfully. Turkey eggs in
the incubator should be treated the
same as ordinary chicken eggs.

heard Of eating mud? But that is what
they are doing"
Then he noticed that those that left
each carried mouthful away. He was
more puzzled than ever At last he
gave up and returned to report to Mrs.
Bully what he had discovered.
Stupid" exclaimed Mrs. Bully
They are getting that mud to build
nests with. Look over there under the
caves"
Bully looked and saw little masses of
mud plastered TO the rough unpainted
boards under the wide caves. Even as
he watched Swallow arrived at one
of these and was very busy there for a
few minutes.
But there is nothing for them to
build nest on" protested Bully. Il
know that Welcome Robin and Forktail
the Barn Swallow use mud in their
nests, but their nests have something
to rest on. Here there isn't even tiny
ledge"
Just the same, they are building
nests" replied Mrs. Bully. And that
means that they are not going to move
on, but are going to be our neighbors
for some time to come 1t looks to me

said Mrs. Bully as she poked her head
out of the nest to watch the busy scene.
I'm going to find out where they go

Bully. Quietly he slipped away and

not be seen he watched The Swallows
when they left the barn all flew of
toward the Smiling Pool. Returning,

curiosity was too much for Bully and
he few over near the Smiling Pool, but
took care to keep out of sight OF the
Swallows. He soon discovered that the
Swallows were gathered about muddy
place at the edge of the water. There
they ahghted and busily picked up
something which at first he thought
was food. He was sure of this when
he saw the nearest one opening and
closing his mouth as if eating

there is anything good I want to know

At last there were few minutes when
there we're no Swallows theie. Bully
hastily flew down to the place where
the Swallows had been and eagerly
looked for something to eat. There
wasn't an insect of any kind. There
was nothing but mud. He could see &

less than my first bid implied.
Had 1 opened the bidding with g
spade, I would not know whether to
support or deny hearts with @ and
the bidding for slam purposes at least
would lack precision as regards heart
loser.
An opening spade bid would almost
surely result in your partner bidding
a no-trump. This would be clumsy
and probably fatal procedure should he
have singleton or void in spades
thus saddling the wrong hand with a
| no-trump contract AS a result. you
may be set in no trumps whereas you
could have made nine or more tricks If
you had assured the no-trump declara-
ton to your own hand Or else you
may have to rebid spades up to four
and be defeated by massed trumps
against you.
Certainly this hand should get to
game if partner keeps the bidding open
for you on the first round. If distri-
button is bad and you cannot make the
game in anything. take your penalty
and do not feel that you have overbid.
The crime is when game in no trumps
can be made provided that declaration
is assured to. or steered into. the right
hand but clumsy or myopic bidding
has blackjacked the wrong partner into
becoming declarer in the right contract

This hand calls for a spade bid in

1t is really too weak for no trumps
Your support in hearts and clubs is so
unSubstantial that you will be giving
your partner a deceptive inference in
that respect in case his takeout is in
one or both of these suits. Only if the
bidding goes-one spade, one no-trump

one spade, two clubs, two no trumps,
three hearts-should you feel safe in

control. Spades are now not likely to
break. and this may wreck us in no
trumps but should not matter in spades,
especially if I gain trick on the open
ing lead. The weaker my partner, the
more necessary it is for me to be de-
clarer and have the opening lead come
to me. Over a two-no-trump response
I would bid four spades, slam try, as
I need only an ace and a king from

three spades, and pass his next bid if

They tried their best not to attract the
