With a good egg-teater the chick can be seen to move around in the shell, like a fish in water, after seven or eight days of incubation, pro- vided the germs are strong enough to be saved. If the egg is warm and the germ does not move freely, reject it; the egg will never hatch. Were these directions carried out, two incubators would be sold where one is sold to-day, as the only objec- tions to the incubator would be removed, these objections being: Chicks die in the shell at pip- ping time, and of bowel trouble after hatching, which often takes the entire flock. A Httle practice and experimenting will enable one to test out all infertile eggs in thirty-six hours after the egg reaches the temperature of 103 deg. Have a good egg-tester, with a magni- fying lens attachment, which can be used in daylight. A pasteboard box enough heat is applied to bring them up to the required temperature, the fertile eggs will be overheated. Hence the importance of testing out infer- t.iles (which are cold eggs) at an early with holes in it and a coal-oil lamp, which must be used in a dark, hot if room, are only an excuse, as this test- er does only part of the work neces- sary to a successful hatch.
