All questions will be answered through this column or by personal letter. Last week we dealt with Incuba- tion and this week we will endeavor to tell how to care for eggs for hatching. Care of Eggs During Incubation Some people do not think it nec- essary to turn eggs for the first two or three days they are in the incu- bator. But this is a mistake. They should be turned at least twice dal. ly for the first two or three days and from three to five times daily. and even oftener where automatic turning trays are used, from the third to eighteenth day. Egg should not be turned, after the eighteenth day as the chicks are getting into position to break their way through at this time and turn- ing the eggs will result in a much smaller hatch than if they are not turned. Tests prove that the often er the egg is turned from the third to eighteenth day the better. Two government men once took turns at watching a hen throughout the eighteen days and found that she turned the eggs on an average of once every 15 minutes. So do not Ye afraid of turning the eggs too of. ten for the eighteen days. Correct amount of moisture and ventilation are two great factors in incubation and where small {ncuba- tors are used must be watched very closely, Most incubator man- facturer' knows just what condi- with each machine; and you will make no mistake in following thelr instructions closely, for each manu. facturer knows just what condl- tions are best for his particular in- cubator. An egg should evaporate about 13 to 16 per cent of its orl- ginal weight during the first nine- teen days of incubation. Evapora. tion is controlled by two things, moisture and ventilation. On gmall incubators it is not so practical to control evaporation by ventilation as on larger mammoth machines where ventilation is controlled au- tomatically, but you ¢o do so by in- creasing the moisture to retard eva- poration and decrease the moisture to increase evaporation. By view ing the air cell of a few eggs daily you can soon determine the right size it should be at different stages of incubation to have evaporated a correct amount. If the egg does not evaporate enough during incu- bation the chick will drown toward the end of the hatch and die in the shell. If evaporation is too rapid the egg will dry down too much and the chick stick to the shell and be unable to break through. Be sure to keep an even tempera- ture throughout the hatch as a large variation in temperature will result in a lot of crippled chicks. I prefer to run a temperature of from 101 to 102 for the first week, 102 to 103 from the eighth to the eigh- teenth day and 103 to 104 or even 105 from the 19th day to the end of the hatch. Do not let tempera- ture, however, run over 105. The best place to keep incubator during incubation is in a cellar that is dry and whose temperature keeps be- tween 60 and 70 degrees as the above temperatures are based on these incubator cellaf or room con- ditions. It is a mistake to open the incubator doors except in ex- treme cases after the 18th day as it lowers the humidity which will {m- pair the hatch considerably, Where moisture pans are used they should be filled full enough on the 18th day to last throughout the hatch, ere nursery trays are used they should be made ready for the chicks to drop through after they hatch. The nursery tray helps to harden off the chick prior to being placed in the brooder and saves a lot of chilling at this time. FEgge should be tested on the 7th and 14th days. On the 7th day all in- fertile eggs, blood rings and float- ing germs should be removed as if loft in will cause serious trouble sometimes. It is easy to deter- mine the live germs at this time as incubation will be well advanced in fertile healthy germs. On the 14th day all germs that have died since the first test should be removed. The fertile eggs taken out at the! first test may be used for cooking purposes if they are not kept to long after being removed from the incubator Handling the Breeding Stock You will of course take grea!) care in selection of birds for hreed. ing purposes and will only use those free from standard defects. Be sure to use good male birds for the male is half your flock. It youl POULTRY NEWS AND HINTS are not certain of the quality of your male birds it pays to secure good birds from a reliable breeder. Yearling hens and early hatched pullets make the best breeders and should not be forced for egg pro- duction prior to going into the breeding pen. Feed a good egg mash that is not too high in protein and plenty of grain. About 12 to 14 pounds per 100 birds daily. A quarter of this should be fed in the morning. and three-quarters at night about one hour before going to roost. Scatter the grain well amongst the litter which should be kept dry and clean. Sprouted oats fed at noon will help fertility and cod liver oil added to the mash will increase hatch ability, Do not frighten the birds, and keep visitors out of your pens. If they wish to see the birds let them do so through ghe windows It has been proved that disease germs are carried on people's feet from one poultry house to another. See that the breeders get lots of sunshine and take out the cotton screens and windows on the south gide of the house on fine days even if it is cold. So long as the sun is shining they will come to no harm. When more than one male bird is used in one pen it is best to cut off the spurs with a hack saw and paint with fo- dine. This will stop them from in. juring each other should they start to fight. Next week we will continue on handling the breeders and also tell what goes on inside the egg when being incubated. Have you ever watched the chick grow day by day Inside the egg? I have and will try tell you all about it next week, -- PERSONALITY OF BRITISH SPEED KING PLEASANT Captain Campbell Is Fond of | Fishing and Yachting New York.--He would much rather walk than ride--he doesn't like to drive an automobile in traf- fie, it's dangerous, he thinks--he has never been arrested for speed- ing--he is the world's speed king. He is Captain Malcolm Camp- bell, landed English gentleman, breeder of Alsatian and airedale dogs, knighted for his speed eox- ploits, wealthy by inheritance, a gentleman by birth and breeding sportsman hy choice and holder of | the world's automobile speed rec- ord. He loves to fish and will even drop work on his beloved Bluebird I1I---his champion racing car--to whip a trout stream with a friend. He is an incurable romantic and is one of those who believes in the le- gends of hidden pirate gold. He has been a member of several ex- peditions seeking secret cacnes or pirate plunder along the Spanish Main. He is fond of sailing and has always had one or two little fellows, which he skippers himself. He never travels by train when he can travel by plane. He was in the Royal Flying Corps during the great war and has several enemy planes to his credit. He built an aeroplane in 1909. He won his first medal--in a motor cycle race | in 1905, Captain Campbell flew several hundred miles over the Sahara De- sert last year looking for a dry lake bed on which to conduct his automobile speed runs. He found one but had to abandon the loca- tion because he couldn't get his car there.

He has a score of gold and silver ciga- rette cases presented to him by dig- nitaries and the famous of three continents but his favorite case is a large, plain one, given to him by his friends and associates in the motor business and inscribed with their names. It is the only one he aver cafries. . Although he dislikes all fuss And ostentation he submits graciously to all requests for interviews and pictures, He endeared himself to the reporters cameramen and pub- lic at Daytona Beach during his re- cent trials there by his unfailing good humor under the most trying conditions. He has never refused a request for his autograph. His favorite pastime is sitting around a group of friends--talking or merely sitting. He knows as many Scotch jokes as Harry Lau- der, and can tell them delightfully. He has a trace of Scotch burr in his voice. He counts that day lest, when home, that he does not walk several miles over the English countryside, with his dogs and his family. He is 46, looks 30, married, fa- ther of two children. He thinks he may be driving racing cars un- til he is 70. He finances his own speed tests and in the last six years has spent approximately $500,000 on his racing cars.
