Tli« greatest drawback to the poul
try business is the idea that just the
common hens of no particular merits
are just as good as a variety of pure-
breds that have been bred to lay. This
is not an exceptional dea but a very
common practice. It is almost invaria
bly the case where poultry is only
a side line, while if they w'ere pure-
breds of some standard variety would
give a much greater profit. While
the above mentioned flocks are almost
always mongrels, they are very poorly
fed and housed. The feed generally con
sists mainly of corn, which will not
alone produce eggs In winter, but Is
as good as any for the kind of treat
ment given, as corn is a good feed to
fatten and enables ihem to w’ithtand
the cold better. The houses generally
consit of an apple tree or some old
outbuilding in which no amount of
feed would cause them to produce eggs.
Such breeds (or any breed), if they
be called breei's, handled in this w^ay
will not be profitable in winter when
egg& are high. They will only lay in
the spring and early summer when
eggs are cheap, being of sundry colors,
shapes and sizes which sell as com-
rr.ons and are not fit for hatching pur
poses. However, they are ju&t as much
expense and trouble to raise as if they
were pure breds and not nearly so
pleasing to the eye, while undoubted
ly poultry kept in this way yield a
profit or else they would not be kept.
.\.t any rate the owner thinks they
are. While on ihe other hand if they
would discard their mixture buy only
a few egj^s of some reputable breeder,
choo&e a breed of their own choice, as
1 think some of the American breed
will best suit a breeder of this kind;
build some comfortable houses, coops
and runs—they ned not be expensive
— aim at comfort, c.s poultry cares
more for comfort than looks. Of course
I;) niauirity. It Is (looks wont hurt. Adopt some mthod
.i,n '•'» per cent of,of feeding that has given results with
I: hcd ever reach !others under like circumstances, intro-
i j,> due ‘o duce new blood from year to year, aim
ich ar«? 1 at both ^gg production and beauty;
ignovance or 1 trap ntsts will be of great value in
I i(f the owner, _ the former and the standard of per
fection in the latter.
After you have your breed to a pay
ing point 90 they wil be of benefit
1 ave vigorous j to others advertise them. All of the
. .a and bird.^ibesi as well as the best known breed-
I’roper feed j ers advertise in the leading journals;
stock is ahs(! lesi they did their stock would not be
rid have a well- of nearly so much value to them and
■ a VC plenty of none to others.
t'Tc.. and have i In my estimation one dei’ives more
1 profit from a well written advertise-
k i>- strong and«inent than in any other way in which
you could invent. But one does not
want to only advertise wiili ink, but
also with e^gs and stock. If it be
your aim to give more than value re^
ceived you need not fear about your
business.

The present development of the poul
try industry requires the use of artifi
cial incubating and brooding. To the
large poultry farms they are absolute
ly necessary, to the small farmer they
are of great value. Excellent incuba
tors are now sold at prices so low that
there is a great saving of time, labor
and money in using them for hatching
Prices range from $5 up.
Two styles of incubators- are in
general use, hot water and hot air. For
small machines, up to say 500 eggs
hot air is extensively used. The larger
machines from 500 to 50,000 are usual
ly of the hot water system. They are
divided into compartments of 500 or
600 eggs, and e.ach compartment sep
arately regulated. The small hot water
machines are usually cheaply con
structed and are liable to leak or
freeze in winter. The large machines
are under expert care all the time
Think of hatching 50,00(V eggs by hens
Wouldn’t it be quite a task? Yet it is
successfully done at one time by us'ing
one large incubator.
Tradition, attributes the priests of
the Temple of Isis as being the inven
tors of artificial incubating. They
have used baking ovens successfully
for centuries. They were so expert that
they would exchange 600 young chicks
for 100 eggs.
Little improvements were made in
incubators until about 30 years ago
Since that time the American market
has beeii flooded with incubators of all
descriptions.
It requires from 3 to 10 gallons of oil
to run an incubator for a period of 21
days. The first day run the machine
at 102°, then increase to 103° and hold
the temperature there until the hatch
begins, then 105° is the right heat.
Chicks \^'hen hatched are wet. and in
drying the evaporation of moisture
lowers their heat a little, so almost all
incubator manufacturers recommend
105° as the correct heat at that time.
Eggs are not turned during the first
two days, this gives the germ a chance
to grow without danger of breaking the
slender cords. A slight jar will ruin
the eggs. After two days remove the
eggs from incubator and turn twice
daily until the chicks begin. to pip
the shell. Then do not bother them
until the hatching is completed. Open
ing the door during the hatch will stop
incubation and chill chicks. All incu-
Bators r.re sent out w'ith complete in
structions and by following the instruc
tions a good hatch can be relied upon
provided the eggs u&ed fxre of good
healthy stock ar d not too old when
placed in the incubator. The quicker
they are uncubated the stronger the
chicks hatched.
A good incubator should have the
following requirements: To be made
of unshrinkable material, double
glass doors, well ventilated, a perfect
regulator and a chick tray or nurs
ery. An accurate thermometer is abso
lutely necessary.
A large percentage of eggs will hatch
if incubator is run in a cellar, the
regulation is then easy. The lamps
should be cleaned and filled daily.
Some of my friends who aie poultry
cranks and possess both hot water and
hot air machines have removed the
oil lamps and substituted gas burners.
There is absolutely no danger and bet
ter regulation is maintained. The
change to gas costs less than a dol
lar.
After you have had a successful
hatch, thoroughly disinfect your incu
bator with a 3 per cent solution of
2enoleum. Run the incubator closed one
day and open tw^o days to dry Out. If
thts precaution is not followed you
may hatch your eggs but can not raise
the chicks as they w^ill die when about
a week or 10 days c.d from a dreaded
chick disease.
It is impossible to give all the little
details of hatching and brooding chicks
in an article of this length. As stated
directions accompany all Incubators
Found Baby on Sand Bar.
By Associated Press.
Louisville, Ky., May 6.—River men
today found the body of a baby boy,
arpparently about 3 months old, on a
sand bar in the Ohio river. The baby
bad evidently been thrown from the
Kentucky and Indiana bridge, with the
idea that it would strike the water and
be drowned. Instead It landed on the
sand bar but with such force that its
skull was fractured. The child, with
the exception of the ugly wound in the
head, bore no marks indicating vio
lence. Its underclothes were hand em
broidered and outer garment was a
costiy sack coat.

noon. The game was called by mutual
consent at the start of the ninth to
allow La.Ioie and his troop to get out
of town. The Naps took the lead in the
second with one run but the So* tied
it up in the third. In the last half of the
round Olmatead was hammered from
the mound, the Naps getting to hina
for three runs. Banding was thumped
hard in spots but good fielding pulled
him out of many holes. A punk throw
by LaJole In the eighth let the Sox
knot the count for the last tile.

All people do not agre on the defi
nition of a good egg and even some
do not realize the. conditions that
sonietimes affect its quality. In order
to ^eet any demand for flrst-class
eggs, the eggs should weigh one and
one-half pounds to the dozen, be uni
form in size, naturally clean, not
washed, strong shelled and fresh.
A fresh egg is one that wa» laid by
a healthy hen i^ only a few days old
and has been kept in desirable sur
roundings. A fresh egg is not one that
was allowed to stay in the nest
for a day or two, until it became con
venient to gather it, or was taken
from a stolen nest, or an incubator,
or from under a setting hen.
Heat seriously affects the quality
of eggs and in w'arm weather they
should be gathered dally and market
ed as often as possible. Moisture
causes molds to develop and quickly
changes the quality of the egg. Mud
dy weather means dirty nests, con
sequently dirty eggs. Nests built
upon the walls of bams and hen
houses are often used as roosting
places, causing filth to accumulate,
resulting in dirty eggs. Dirty eggs
must be handled as second grades;
washed eggs are Just as bad. Eggs
deteriorate in quality if they are left
behind the kitchen stove or are stored
in damp or musty cellars.
It is not desirable to keep eggs any
length of time before marketing, al
though It sometimes becomes neces
sary to do so. When it becomes nec
essary to keep eggs a cool, dry cellar
should be used and the eggs kept In
some receptacle, such as an egg case,
that will prevent them becoming brok
en or stained. Such eggs should
be marketed as soon as is possible.
Only eggs that are properly handled
can be accepted by egg buyers as
first class stock.—Weekly Star Farm

crofulous Head
Cured
BY APPLICATION* OF
Thies’ Salve
My son, Jas. A. Waldrup, had been
afflicted with** a scrofulous head for
nearly five years during which time
two pieces of small bone came out
from the disease. All medical atten
tion was given him, but proved fruit
less. By accident I met Mr. A Thies,
and while speaking with him aboii~ my
son’s condition, he remarked that he
was in possession of a Salve whose
healing qualities had been tested on
so many different diseases with re
markable effect, that he wished me to
give it a trial on my son. I gave it
the trial, and do herewith endorse his
recommendation most cheerfully be
cause his Salve cured my son com
pletely in not quite three months, and
he is today as sound and healthy as
before he was afflicted.
