Registered in occordance Hatching With Artificial Heat, Dependence on the broody hen as a "hatching machine" to supply the number of pullets required to replen- ish the laying houses of egg farms early enough in the season to give even the few pullets required on a small plant if they are to be nor- mally brought into laying in Octo- ber. A hen sets only when she feels like it, and that is generally too late in the season for practical purposes. Unless the pullets are laying by November 1st, or very shortly there. gin laying at the time mentioned produce heavily during the early winter, when eggs bring the highest price. The income from such birds is much greater than from late- hatched chicks which do not begin to lay until the following spring and give thelr highest production at a time when eggs are relatively cheap. Thus it becomes imperative to the commercia) egg farmer, economic- ally, to use aftificial means of hatch- ing. Advantages of Incubators. There are several advantages to be gained by using an incubator. It permits of the chicks being hatched early enough to enable them to be matured at the time required to make the most profitable winter layers. Early-hatched chicks are, as a rule the stronger and more vigorous, be- cause they came from eggs laid while the hens are in their hest breeding condition. After a long period of laying, hens lose much of their vitality and their capacity to transmit vigor to their offspring. Young chicks thrive better in the cool weather of early spring than in the heat of summer. Early ¢hioks are so far developed by the summer months that they can withstand the extreme heat and they do not then fall so easily a prey to lice or mites. Early cockerels are ready for mar- ket when the prices for broilers are highest, When chicks are nearly of one age a good deal less care is involved in rearing them, Moreover, when they are of one age, there is not the danger of some, because they are and forced from the feed, by the larger ones. Thus ajl grow evenly. These conditions can only be ob- tained when an incubator is used, Essentials of an Incubator. Not all incubators that are offered to the public are efficient hatching machines. It is safest to stick to the well-tried machines, at least unt one thoroughly understands the prin- ciples of incubators. The essentials of a good hatching machine are: -- A hatching chamber so insulated as to prevent the escape of heat from within and the entrance of cold air from without, !excont through the proper channels. An accurate and reliable means of controlling the temperature within the incubator. A system of ventilation that can de easily controlled.

An incubator can be successfully operated in almost any place where | 8n even temperature can be main- tained and where there is plenty of ventilation. A basement room or cellar is usually ideal, if the machine can be kept away from the furnace and if the atmosphere is sweet and clean.

What advantages has artificial over natural incubation? 3. What should ore look for in buying an incubator? 4. Where should an incawslor be iocated? ---- POULTRY--GAL TWO-- Answers To Last Week's Questions: 1. Broody bens should not be al- lowed to select their hatching eggs, | because they have not the power of selection. Eggs from undesirable hens wouid thus often be incubated, and average egg production of the flock would be reduced as a coiise- quence. 2. The sitting hen'shouid be of normal weight for her breed, neither too fat por too thin, She should be healthy and of a motherly disposi- tion. 3. The nest should be placed as near the ground as possible, prefer- ably on it. It should be made of i Oat straw or dry grass, and covered with a box so made that the hen may come on or off without crush- | ing the eggs. 4. It is necessary to make sure that the hen is desirous of sitting not that she has merely a needed. \ A heating system that is depend- ¥ Na spell of broodis EEE -------- PROBS: --Friday, northwest winds, fair and cold. mn fi} [= AEE [1 DollarD All Day Friday!
