CONTEST
If there is anything you do not understand about The Gazette-News' Pony Out
fit Contest, telephone, or call at the office and ask a few questions. Every detail
is as clear and simple as it could possibly be made, and there is every safeguard
to insure the absolute fairness of the contest in every respect.

lllp
In the first place nobody can lose by working in the contest, for if they only
turn in one subscription, they will be paid ten per cent commmission on that at the
close of the contest. In other words, every candidate who does not win either the
Pony Outfits or the Gold "Watches, the first and second prizes, will be paid ten per
cent commission on ALL the business they turn in during the contest. What could
be fairer than that?
"WTien the contest is over many who did not entere are going to be sorry that
they did not do so. When they pee the beautiful Shetland Pony, Cart and Harness
and know how easily somebody won it and how well paid all who did not win were,
they will regret that they held back when the opportunity was open to them to win
such a beautiful and valuable prize free.
Now little folks every one of you get busy and stay busy until the closing
hour. Don't lose too much time hunting coupons. Get right off after subscriptions,
both new and renewal; they are the things that will put you at the top of the list
and keep you there until the end, or put you there at the end, if you have enough
of them. The beautiful Watches are on display in A. M. Field Co. window. .

H INCUBATION INCUBATORS K

By Edward 8. West.
Under this head there are only two
classes natural and artificial, As nat
ural Incubation la thousands of years
old, and as 76 per oent of the chicks
hatched each year In the United
States are from thla class: we will
take natural incubation up first.
For success, the rearing of chicks
should begin with the parent stock
Raising chicks has been named as the
most difficult "poultry (problem,"
and some poultrymen say that "every
thing else is easy," But If one begins
right, with well hatched chicks, chick
rearing ought not to prove so very
difficult. What Is meant by beginning
right T and how about the well hatched
chicks?
To begin right, use only eggs from
healthy and vigorous breeding stock,
for the lack of vigor In the newly
hatohed chlok . Is often traceable to
weak parents. So only the most rig
orous ' and the best birds should be
put In the breeding pens. Eaoh bird
should be full of life and energy. De
formity should bar a bird from this
pen. Do not crowd, use one male to
ten or twelve females. Watch their
feed. Right here on the subject of
"feed for breeding birds," there Is a
whole story, but we are not on feeds.
Now you have your pens well mated.
After : ten days or two weeks, start
saving egga. Save only well formed
eggs with good strong shells. As a
rule very small or very large eggs
should be rejected. Eggs with thin,
water-marked, rough, seamed or
checked shells should not be saved
for hatching. Never use one with
limy excrescenses on the shell, as these
lime warts are apt to break off dur
ing incubation and leave a hole In the
shell that is fatal to the contained em
bryo. .
While on the subject of eggs, it Is
well to state there is no known way
of determining the sex of the chick
by the appearance of the shell. The
theory of foretelling the sex of the
future chicken by the formation of
the eggs is centuries old. In the writ
ings of Horace, long eggs are men
tioned as "certain to produce males."
The position of air ceils has also been
supposed to prolndlcate the sex. Sev
eral well known writers of recent
years have expressed the belief that
long eggs or those with wrinkled-ends
would produce males and that those
with round ends or the smooth round
ones would hatch pullets. There is
absolutely no foundation for any of
these beliefs, as has been proven by
the United States department of agri
culture, by making many and various
test hatches.
When you gather eggs, be sure not
to keep in too hot a place. The tem
perature should be 50 to 60 degrees F.
Never keep eggs over two weeks and
for safety not over ten days. Turn
eggs each day about the same time.
A good plan Is to mark the date the
egg is layed on the shell with a pen
cil and one day let the date be lip,
the next day down. Lay eggs on the
side and not on end.
We are now ready to set Mrs. Hen,
who has been holding down some glass
eggs while you get the best eggs v. u
can for her. Take her off, and give
! her a good feed of whole corn, while
jshe is feeding, change the real egg.)
with the glass ones. Now take the
I hen and dust her well with pure
: fresh Estimation or Persian Insect
I powder. Dust her again three days be
fore the chicks are due to hatch
! Don't forget whenever a hen is al-
i lowed to hatch or mother chicks,
I much care must be exercised to pre-
i vent lice from getting a foothold and
j ruining the flock. The free and fre
quent use of fresh insect powder
powder upon the hen; working It
1 through the feathers to the skin, Is
i one of the best methods of destroy-
, ing the pests.
In incubations as a rule 21 days is
right, but to be correct as to varieties
the following may be helpful and in
teresting. Bantams and small active
varieties, It to 20 days, large varie
ties 20 to 21 days, ducks 26 to 38
days, Muscovey ducka 23 to 35 days,
geese 28 to 30 days, turkeys 26 to
29 days and guinea fowl 25 to 26 days.
Tou can feed the hen whole corn.
Rut do not feed the chicks until 26
hours old. Nature i has provided tor
this by the nbsorptlon of the yolk
into the chick's abdomen Just previous
to hatching. It Is 'essential that this
feed should be digested and asslml
laled before any other food la given
them. Many people are In a rush to
start the chickens growing and hurry
feed Into the crops before the sys
tem Is ready to take care of it. You
should now have your chicks "well

hatched" and now It is more or 'ess
up to Mrs. Hen to bring them up to
birds that will some day repay you
for your work.
Artificial Incubation.
Now we come to artificial incuba
tion, and here It is Just as essential to
have the right breeding stock, and to
care for the eggs Just as carefully as
wnn tne natural Incubation. Only
here we have other things to do.
First of all the best advice that can
be riven to "beginners" or to "old
timers" with incubators is to study
and learn to apply the manufacturer's
directions. If you can not get good
results that way, put It up to the man
ufacturer and .do it hard. But first
make sure that the fault Is not your
own and, no maatter hew you In
tended to hatch 'em, be sure to vise
only good fresh eggs from sound,
healthy breeding stock.
Tou have now the Incubator 'you
want, and have filled It with eggs
from good stock. Tour thermometer
s on the 103 degree mark. AU is well.
Tou should begin turning the eggs
after the first 48 hours and each
twelve hours thereafter until the
eighteenth day, by taking out a few
eggs and gently rolling the balance
with the palm of the hand. It is not
necessary to take each one and turn
it over.
The purpose of turning Is to change
the position of the germ or embryo,
so as to keep It from coming In con
tact with the membrane or skin of
the Inside of the shell.
Tou should begin to cool the eggs
with the third day, and each day
once until the eighteenth day. Take
the tray out and place on top of ma
chine, always closing door to keep
the warmth in the Incubator.
When eggs feel cool to the touch.
replace In the machine. The length
of time will be governed by the tem-
prature of the room you are In, and
will run from ten minutes to an
hour.
Cooling Is essential; give too much
rather than too little.
Do not worry If your damper does
not seem to work right after return
ing eggs, for although the heat In the
Incubator is 103 degrees F., still the
eggs and the thermometer are cooler,
and will not show 103 which Is work
ing on thermostatic cooling device
So do not alter the regulator, It will
soon come back to your 103 degrees.
During the hatching period the nat
ural heat may run the thermometer
to 104 degrees, this will, however, not
Injure the chicks and again we must
say the regulator should not be
touched.
Be sure you turn and cool eggs for
the last time on the eighteenth day
Chicks should begin to "pip" on the
twentieth day, and on the twenty-second
the hatch should be complete.
Leave chicks In the machine until
they are thoroughly dry, then move
them to a clean hover.
As with hen-hatched chicks, don't
feed too soon for the same reason ap
plies here as before. Now let us sum
It all up.
Set only fertile eggs, ' from best
breeding stock. Study your Incuba
tor, acquaint yourself with Its parts.
Set up carefully and according to In
structions. Do not overfill the tray.
Turn eggs third day. Be sure your
hands are clean In turning. Do not
disturb the eggs after the evening of
the eighteenth dny. Have a regular
hour for Incubator work. Do not tink
er too much with the regulator. Hent
your machine and make adjustments
before placing the eggs J' the tray,
and yours be all success and breej
for better poultry.
