SUGGESTIONS ON
EGG INCUBATION
Incnbiition Is the naturnl process
through whicli the egg tniist pass to
produce the chick. f)ur ob.ject. when
liatchiiig larger nuttihers of chicks,
Is to suhstilute for the natural method
of hatching with hens. The incubator
has solved the problem. It has grown
from the mere hatcliing boxes to ma-
’hines that are capable of produc
ing a large percentage of strong,
healthy chicks. Some hatching boxes
are still on the market; the medium
to liigh priced Incubators are the
ones to purchase. 'I’lu! initial price
Is of small consideration when com
pared with good, livable chicks.
The hen prei)ares the egg. Her own
er generall.v receives it in good con
dition. V.'hat he does to the egg be
fore it is acluall.v placed in the in
cubator, greall.v influences its hatch-
ability. The fresher the egg.s, the
larger the percentage of hatch will
he and the stronger the chicks.
The proper care of hatching eggs
■will increase the hatch. They should
be turned dally If kept longer than
five days. The h(-st temperature Is
from .'V) to 00 degrees Fahretdielt.
Oerni development starts at OS de
grees, so care should l)e taken to
fee that the eggs do not reach that
point.
More eggs are ruined by becoming
too warn) before they are set than
by chilling. When an egg is kept in
a room where the temperature is
70 to SO degj'ces. germ development
starts. There is not enough heat to
continue incubation ; eonsenuently
many enih'-yos die then or during tbs
frst few days In the incubator. Un
der such conditions, the eggs will
show clear or neai-Iy clear when
candled on the eighth day.
When selecling an incubator, he gov
erned to a large extent h.v the ma
chines that are giving the best re
sults in I he community, not only for
number of chicks hiitched but for the
'condition of the chicks as well.
There are two genei’al types of
smaller incubators—tlie hot-water and
the hot-air. The greatest problem
with hot-watpr machines in general is
proper ventilation; moisture Is the
greatest problem in the hot-air ma
chine. The water In the water-heated
Incubator does not Influence moisture
In the eg.g chamber. T.ack of moisture
means that there has been too gre.af
en amount of evaporation In the
water-heated machines the air doe.s
not circulate so freely. With slower
moving air, there will be less evai)-
oration. The fact that many of the
smaller hot water incubators have
very little ventilation, makes it nec
essary to air and cool ttie eggs diillv.
The hot-air Incubators are (piite
different. Tlie Iieiit Is furnished hv
the air so it Is necessary tlrat the
siir be in more rapid motion. This
causes greater ventilation and evan-
firation, hence moisture usually must
be added.
It) operating the inoihator follow di
rections. Most incultittor companies
give very complete directions regard
lug the operation and control of their
machines.
UnifoiMuity of temperature is a great
controlling factor. An Incubator nin
St a niilform temperature of 1(12 de
grees will do better than one viiry-
Ing fi-orn 101 to 10.") degrees. Gradual
variation Is not detrimental.
Too liigt) temp(^rature lowmrs the
vigor of (lie cl)icks. h) soi))e machines.
It is considei-ed ba.st to start at 101
degrees, i))crease to 102 degrees the
second week, and only nlh)w the
standard of 100 degrees to he reached
a few days before the hatch. Above
everything, the eggs shnuld not get
too hot.—Noel Hall, Extension Spe
cialist. Missouri stati* peuitry e.xperl-

World’s Large Cities
The following cities reported at the
Inst official censuses—1919 to 1923—as
having n)ore than 1,000,000 popula
tion: Loudon (county), 4,483,249; Lon
don (greater), 7,476,108; Berlin, 1,-
902.509; Berlin (greater), 3,803,770,
Paris, 2,902,504); Vienna, 1.866.147;
Moscow, 1,511,045; Leningrad, 1,067,-
328; Glasgow, 1,034,174. Several oth
er cities had close to 1,000,000 each,
and perhaps exceed that number now.
These were Han)burg (985,779 In
1919) ; Warsaw (936,046 In 1921) ;
Budapest (928,996 in 1920), and Bir
mingham (919,438 in 1921). Constan
tinople was formerly considered to
have a population in excess of.1,000,-
000, but has lost considerably in late
years, and after a canvass In 1924 was
reported to have 880,908.
Fatal Dust Explosions
Dust exi)loslon8 caused a loss of
188 lives, Injury to 130 employees and
a property damage amounting to more
than $12,000,000 In the period from
1919 to 1925. More than one-fourth of
the loss tn life and more tlian one-half
of the property damage occurred in
.grain elevators, however, which has
lied the dust-exploslon experts of the
United States Department of Agricul-
iture to turn their attention primarily
{to the elimination of the dust-explo-
nrion hazard In the grain-handling In-
;(ia8try.

used as a museum. It was on this spat that Don -Pedi'o, then Emperor of
Brazil, met the 29-year-oId inventor and exclaimed, "My God, it talks!” when
he heard Bell’s voice come over the wire. The exhibits- to he staged by the
organization these men represent will be one of the great feabires of the
Ses(3ui-Centennial International Exposition, which opens in Philadelphia .Tune

TodayisiUvaysBest
Twas only yesterday, it seems,
That I was just a little boy
And life was filled with idle Yearns
And play. Oh, how I did enjoy
Those happy hours, too quickly sped
Into the past! Soon I shall see
That busy, hopeful youth has fled,
And never can return to me.
Then age will come. Tis but a day
Until my final sun will set.
But I shall go with spirit gay
And heart that harbors no regret, t;;:
If I live manfully and face
Each golden morning with a smile—
If I determine to embrace
The chance to make today worth while.
