00D blood counts In poultry ns
well as In any other class of
live stock. If the chickens
and eggs are produced for
market purposes only they may be Im
proved by purchasing pure bred males
of the desired breed every year. At
bet, however, the Hock enn only bo
made high grade by this method. The
enterprising poultrymnn will soon be
gin to long for a llork of pure breds.
Such a flock, If carefully selected and
bred, furnishes a splendid source of In
come that Is largely Independent of
the market price of eggs or dressed
poultry. The demand for choice pure
bred eggs for selling and for pure
bred males la good and the prlco very
satisfactory. A trade of this kind
when once established will add con
siderably to the income from tho
farm.
Getting a Start In Puro Dreds.
liven where the flock Is kept for
market purposes only It pays to have
puro breds. They look better and glvo
more ecouomlcal returns for tho food
eaten. The cheapest way to net n Btart
In puro breds Is to buy n Bitting or
two of eggs. It Is of utmost Impor
tance that they be purchased of soino
reliable breeder; olhenvlso disappoint
ment Is almost sure to follow. In
sist that" the egg's be not more than
live days old when shipped, that they
be well wrapped and that the basket
bo scaled. Have the eggs shipped by
l'lO. XXI1I-COUNEK IN l'OCIi'rUT YAItD.
express and lefuse to nccept them If
the seals have been tampered with.
These precautions are necessary I
you would bo sure of getting what you
pay for. A basket with a handle Is
the best package for shipping eggs, ns
it will be carried Instead of thrown.
It hns been found by repeated exper
iments that eggs hatched with nu In
cubator do not produce chicks with ns
much vitality ns those hatched under
hens. This Is not very noticeable tho
first season, but If continued year
after year will seriously Impair tho
vitality of tho flock. It Is a general
practice among successful poultrytnen
to set a few of tho best eggs under
hens and use tho chickens thus ob
tained to replenish the breeding flock.
Value of a Breeding Pen.
The plm of having a breeding pen
from whi. h to reject eggs for hatching
Is a very good one. In this pen a doz
en or thirteen of tho best hens In tho
flock are kept. If trap nc3t records
have been kept this will determine to
a largo extent whlfh hens are to bo
put Into tho breeding pen. With the
meat breedo the size and conformation
of the hens arc the most Important
points. For a breeding pen of thirteen
hens one male Is nil that Is necessary,
but ho should bo tho best that can bo
secured. Some breeders practice keep
ing two males, putting ono In with tho
hens one day and the other the next.
In this way the males nre kept In a
better condition, and the chickens nro
likely to bo a little stronger. No roost
ers will be needed In the general flock.
Indeed, the eggs will keep all tho bet
ter for not being fertilized.
The care and feed of the breeding
flock should be much the same as those
outlined for laying hens In article No.
11. The main thing to keep them
healthy. Do not overfeed, but keep
them hi vigorous condition. If possi
ble the breeding pen should be large
enough so as to Include a little green
feed, such as clover or rape. If this
cannot be done a little forage cut and
put In the pen every day will bo rel
ished. The sitting hens should have a
small house or compartmont to them
solves. This will avoid tho groat an
noyance of having nests broken up
and fresh eggs laid In with those al
most ready to hatch, Thto house
should bo projided with charcoal, grit
and oystor shells. A dust bath In
which the hens can roll will help to
keep them free from lice. Oats, wheat
and some sort of green food make n
good ration. When very expenslvo
eggs ore set It Is host to keep each
hen in a compartment by horself, as
there will be loss risk of having tho
nest broken up. Soon after tho chick
ens are hatched they can be marker
by punching a hole through tho web
of the toe, so that they can be picked
out from the rost of the flock in the
fall.
Selecting the Incubator.
Although' Incubators are not well
adapted to raising chickens for tho
breeding Hock, they nro Indispensable
to tho poultrymnn who Is raising fowls
for market. They nre more reliable and
more easily cared for than licus. They
nre ready to go to work at any time,
bo that early chickens can be raised
In much larger numbers than with
hctn. Tho broody hens eon be broken
up and will soon go to laying again.
Not tho least among tho advantages of
tho Incubator Is tho fact that the
chicks will be free from lice when
hatched.
Thero are two general types of Incu
bators, tho hot air and tho hot water
machines. The heat In the hot air
machine Is furnished by currents of
warm air which circulate around the
egg chamber and In the Inn water ln:i
chine by hot water circulating through
metal pipes. The hot air machine Is
simpler anil generally gives better sat
isfaction Tho two most Important points to
consider In buying an Incubator are
the lamp and the regulator, since upon
the clllclency of these depends the
malnteiianpo of a conntnt tempera
ture In the egg chamber. The lump
and chimney should bo of heavy metal.
The reservoir should hold enough oil
for twenty-eight to thirty hours' run.
Tho burner should be of brass, with a
cotton wick Avhlcli tits snugly and yet
works easily. It Is Important to use
the highest grade of oil that can be
obtained, as a steady heat cannot be
maintained with cheap oil.
Tho function of the regulator Is to
.raise or lower a valve over tho lamp,
thus lessoning or Increasing the amount
of hot air that goes Into the machine.
Of all tho mnny kinds of regulators
none works more satisfactorily than
the double disk typo. The disks should
be four or five Inches across. If
smaller they are not sensitive enough.
The regulator should be placed toward
the back part of the egg chamber and
high enough so that It will be well up
out of the way. Avoid Incubators
that havo the regulator lever on top of
tho machine. Such a lever Is always
In the way and Is llnble to be bont or
displaced. A machine that has tho
lever at the end or under a false top
Is much more satisfactory. There Is
nothing In the way on top, nml It can
bo used as a table for testing, turn
lng nnd cooling eggs.
Tho body of the Incubator should be
made of well fitted hard wood, with
threo walls and two dead air spaces,
so as to be as1 little affected by the
outside temperature ns possible. The
legn should be strong and firmly at
tached. Tho doors should he of donblo
glass. The egg trays should slide
easily, nnd thero should be at lenst
threo and a half Inches clearance be
tween the eggs and the top of the
chamber. Tho nursery below the trayB
should be at least four Inches deep.
This lower space Is needed for the
newly hatched chicks. This nursery
Is sometimes made to slide out like a
drawer This 13 a great convenience
In removing tho chickens.
A Btnall hole covered with n remova
ble slide will provide all the ventlla
Hon needed In addition to that obtain
ed when the doors nro open for turn
ing tho eggs. A wet sponge kept'un
dor tho egg trays will usually furnish
eufllclcnt moisture. The amount of
molsturo needed enn be determined by
tho size of the air cell in the big end
of the egg. If this, gets to be more
than ono-flfth the size of the egg more
molsturo should be supplied
Handling the Incubator.
There la no better placo for the In
cubator than a clean, dry collar. It
should be run empty for nt least a
day heforo tho eggs are put In. so as
to get the flame nnd regulator adjust
ed. The (In mo should he clean and
bright nnd the regulator set so as to
maintain a constant temperature of
100 F.
It takes a day or two to get the eggs
warmed up after they ore put In. By
tho third day tho thermometer should
he up to 100 and should be kept there
tho rest of the tlmo. The eggs should
bo tested the third day and Infected or
dead ones tnkon out. The eggs should
bo turned every morning until the
nineteenth day. This can be done by
rolling them over with the hand or
placing another tray over them and
turning them completely over. After
turning they should bo left out ten or
fifteen minutes to cool. After the nine-
via. XXIV IM-HIUOlt OO0D lillOOUKtr
nousK.
tuonth day the Incubator should bo
kept closed until the hatch Is about
completed.
Tho chickens should be left In the
Incubator for twenty-four hours o
longer after hatching. After that thej
may be given to broody hens that have
been saved up for that purpose or
placed In brooders. A 'good brooder
run at n proper tomporaturo Is much
more satisfactory than hens for rais
ing chickens on a largo scalo. A type
In which tho heat comes up In the mid
dle, with one or more circular parti
tions of cloth reaching nearly to the
floor, li th raost satisfactory.
