Oeneral Motors and Henry F&rd
agree that this will be the higgest
automobile year In the history of the
Industry. That is cheerful news for
the Impoverished newspaper publish
er, also the other kind of publisher,
not impoverished. Ford’s prediction
doesn's deal with his new low price
car. He thinks that all fields In the
motor world, high priced, medium
and low priced, will break records.
Airplanes everywhere. Lindbergh
flying to Bogota, first flight over
those mountain ranges, teds of a
Jungle unlike some other jungles,
trees covered with white flowers, and
casually mentions. "I was escorted
by an Andean plane, a Sikorsky
amphibian, for 25 miles.” Later,
"crossing the rivers Nechi and Cauca,
I passed over Puerto Berrio, saw sev
eral river steamers and a Scadta air
plane on the river's banW.”
Then you read of a French "go
liath” airplane, taking travelers on
a tour of the Alps, flying with 13
passengers over Mount Blanc, highest
mountain in Kurope.
Man now owns the earth, the waters
and the air.
Important In the history of air
craft is Secretary Wilbur's announce
ment that the big dirigible Los An
geles on Friday landed on the deck
of a ship built to carry airplanes,
then, rising from the deck, flew away.
That makes It possible tor such
an airship to meet an enemy ship
out of sight of land, pick up fighting
troops or commanding officers, and
carry them to the enemy’s territory.
In Revelations, sixth chapter, St.
John "heard as it were the noise of
thunder, one of the four beasts say
ing, Come and see.”
Then behold, "a white horse, the
rider carrying a bow, and he went
forth conquering, and to conquer."
Next “there went out another horse
t.Yat was red, and power was given
to him that sat thereon to take peace
from the earth, and that they should
kill one arother."
That one carried a great sword.
Then came a black horse, with the
man riding him carrying "a pair of
balances in his hand."
And last "a pale horse; and his
name that sat on him was Death,
and Hell followed with him.” That
makes you shiver.

• The Fifth Horse.”
What Ibanez planned we shall (
never know. What color would you
suggest for that fifth horse, what
kind of a rider? While for conquest,
red for war, black for Justice; and
the pale horse, death. What color
and Job for a fifth horse?
Would It be a bright gold, repre
senting modern conquest by money?
Would he be a “pinto” or piebald
horse, representing uncertainty In
science and religion, so disturbing to
faith?
Some young genius will find his
subject ready-made In that “Fifth
Horse.”
Ibanez “Fifth Horse" was to deal
with the league of nations, so per
haps his idea was a piebald horse,
which would represent the league
well.
It would have two riders, one
France, one England, perhaps with
Uncle Sam tied to the tall, if he would
consent.

He went in front, and when I
they went in Mrs. Ogilvie gave
him a disturbed glance.
“Mr. Elliott wants to marry
Margaret,” he remarked with
ironical calm. “Larry's a
fastidious Britisher and he al
lowed he ought to put us wise.”
Mrs. Ogilvie’s color came and
went, but. her look got resolute.
“If Margaret agrees, you
mustn’t meddle. When I mar
ried you iuv folks were mad, but
you were the man I wanted and
I didn’t hesitate. For all the
old folk’s warnings, we made
out. Lawrence is the sort I’d
like my girl to marry and he has
shown you he can run a farm;
Margaret has your cleverness,
and although she’s not as hard,
they may go farther than we
have gone. Anyhow', she’s en
titled to choose her husband and
must not he bullied. When one
gets old one hates trouble, but
Bhe’s my daughter—”
“She’s yours and mine,” said
Ogilvie. “Folks trust and love
her mother, and it looks as if
she’d inherited some qualities I
haven’t got.” He turned to
Margaret. “Well, the young fel
low wants you, and although his
bank roll is not large, I allow
he can support a wife who’s
willing to pinch and work. What
are you going to do about it!”
Margaret blushed like a rose,
but her look was proud.
“Had Larry been beaten and
lost ms larm, i would nave
married and gone where he went.
So far, however, he lias won, but
if the years in front are bard, I’ll
try to see him out.”
“Then it’s fixed,” said Ogil
vie. “Your man’s not my type,
Margaret, and I guess all his
highbrow notions art* not eco
nomical, but lie’s got some sand
and 1 admit he’s white.” He
turned to Lawrence. “The girl’s t •
my daughter. 1 don't want to
boast, but when 1 married her
mother I was a sick store clerk
and now the Cross in is the best
farm on the plain. Well, my
wife helped me make good and I
guess yours will do as much.
You start where we did not and
take an easier trail, hut if you
hit a rough piece, she will help
you along.”
Lawrence's thanks were awk
ward; the old fellow was kinder
than he had thought. Mrs. Ogil
vie kissed him, and when he left
the homestead lie was altogether
satisfied.
In the morning Ogilvie went
to Fair holm and sent a harves
ter for George. Millicent received
him and he gave her a queer
smile.
“My aims not to bother you
and l hope our disputes are done
with,” he said, and when George
arrived went on: “Your brother
is to marry Margaret ami we
must try to fix things for the
young folks.”
“All 1 can do is to allow Law
rence to take the farm,” George
rejoined. “To some extent, you
are responsible for my poverty.”
“Maybe so. Anyhow, Mar
garet’s ambitious and Larry’s
not a hick. I’d like them to start
with all they need to help them
go ahead.”
“Then, you approve the mar
riage?” Millicent inquired.
“1 don’t grumble,” said Ogil
vie dryly. ‘‘When you get old,
Miss Elliot, you don't look for
fresh trouble, and perhaps l lose
my vita, because not long since
three people have beaten me; j
your brother, Mrs. Spiers, and
Mart, who goes to jail. Anyhow,
1 can take a knock, and when 1
saw Larry wanted Margaret I
thought I'd try him out. His
reckoning me his antagonist was
the sort of joke l like. You see,

talents, and all that's mine is
hers. 1 meant her to be rich ami

“In Canada, the small man
claims an equal chance,’ George
remarked.
“Maybe so,” said Ogilvie, and
his eyes twinkled when he re
sumed: “Your brother's blood is
red and be has got some sand. I
guess he reckoned he beat me;
but J don’t know—I want Fair
holm for Margaret and it’s going
to be hers. Well, we must draft
something for the lawyer, and
since you can't help, why, I’ll
put up the wad.”
He asked for paper and got to
to work, and when he left the
homestead Millicent frankly ad
mitted he was much less hard
than she had thought.
A few days afterward. Mar
garet and Lawrence one evening
started for Pine Creek. The
thrashers had hauled away their
mill, the stooked sheaves had
vanished, and only the tall
strawpile bins broke the sweep
of stubble. Harvest was over,
Indian summer was nearly gone,
and in the melting sunset, all was
strangely claim. After the long
strain, Lawrence was willing to
indulge a soothing reaction, al
though he knew when day broke
be and bis teamsters must start
for the railroad. Margaret was
happily quiet. Sometimes when
one is happy on* does not want
to talk.
Geoffrey and Helen Spiers
occupied the bench by the home
stead door; Heath and an On
tario harvester smoked their
pipes In the grass. Nobody else
was about, and when Lawrence
glanced at the empty field Spiers
smiled.
“The last bushel is in the bin
and the thrasher gang is gone.
Helen made the boys a feast and
funtil l get back from the settle
ment she and Mrs. Heath must
starve. I imagined Heath and
the other could hold out for
three or four days.”
“Sometimes one likes to be
royally extravagant; I rather
think one ought,” Helen re
joined. “Besides, they were a
first class lot and when they went
off the boss was very nice—”
Lawrence knew a thrashing
boss is not as a rule polite, and
he imagined Mrs. Spiers had cap
tured the gang. She, however,
turned to Margaret.
“Then you have not started
for Montreal * ’ ’
Margaret blushed and Law
rence smiled.
“When Margaret goes she goes
with me. As soon as the wheat
is off the farm we start.’
Helen kissed Margaret and
gave Lawrence her hand.
“Oh, I am glad,” she said.
“Lawrence helped us, and T
wanted you to marry him. For
his sake and yours. I hoped he
could persuade you.”
“You helped us all.” said Mar
garet in a gentle voice, for the
other’s frank sincerity touched
her.
“The new combine’s a stroner

“One reaps where one sows,’’
said Spiers quietly, and then saw
Helen had turned her head.

PROGRESS OF ARTIFICIAL INCUBATION
Artificial incubation, defined in Its broadcast terms, means the hatching
of chicks by use of man-made machines known as incubators The heat of
the hen and the natural instinct which goes with natural Incubation are en
tirely eliminated in this modern practice Tradition and history show us that
artificial incubation has been successfully practiced since prehistoric times.
Some of the earliest and most reliable records show that eggs were hatched
artificially in the so called “egg ovens” In Egypt many centuries ago.
In these ovens the eggs were placed in large baskets made of reeds and
straw. They were In the early days surroundd by fermenting manure, the
heat from which was sufficient to bring about embryo development and to
cause the chicks to hatch. These crude artificial hatching practice were
carried on by the same families year after year and generation after genera
tion until these particular experts became very proficient in manipulating the
equipment.
This same crude method of hatching eggs was in the early ages superseded
by the use of more efficient egg oven where the heat was supplies by burn
ing wood or charcoal. The remains of those early Egyptian ovens are still
found in Egypt at the present time, and the practice is used there today in
hatching eggs by this method, although much improved and modified. One of
the most interesting exhibits at the World's Poultry Congress recently held
at Ottawa was a duplication in wood of one of these early Egyptian egg
ovens, fully equipped, showing exactly how they functioned. The modern
Egyptian egg ovens have capacities ranging from 1,000 to 300.000 or more
eggs in the single season. These egg ovens are centrally located in large
village in the agricultural districts. The eggs are usually purchased from
the surrounding native by the managers of the egg ovens, and the chicks
are sold when hatched.
It was but a few years ago lhat eggs could be purchased for this purpose at
from $3 to <5 a 1,000, and the resulting chicks sold for $1 to $2 per 100.
A description of these egg ovens in interesting in that it shows us how simple
a construction is necessary to produce desired results, fn the main, these
modern egg ovem are large, low buildings, constructed usually of clay,
through the center of which runs a long alley. Opening out of this alley
are many small circular compartments with two floors; the second floor being
about four feet above the first floor. The eggs are placed on straw.
The heat necessary is generated by burning fuel set on elevated ledges
around the side of each room. The amount of fuel regulates the heat.
There is an opening in each room which carries off the surplus heat and
smoke. In the center of each circular compartment i3 an Opening where the
operator stands when turning and handling the eggs. After thev hatch.
me cnicKs are taKen to the central alley, which is somewhat cooler, where
they are kept until sold.
Historical records show that artificial incubation was carried on in China
in ovens somewhat similar to the Egyptians ovens. In all of these early prac
tices, success dependeed entirely upon the judgment, skill and ability of the
operator.
It was not until the 15th century that more definite progress was made
In articifical incubation practices. This was in France, and evolved the
development of more efficient practices, but even these were far from what ww
know them today. It was not until the latter part of the 18th century that
water was first used as a means of suppling heat to the eggs. In all previous
efforts heated air had been the means of maintaining the correct tempera
ture It was not until 1845 that the first self-regulating valve was invented,
the use of which made it possible to regulate the temperature of water in
pipes. This device opened the way and made possible the modern self
regulating incubator.
Numerous efforts to improve or develop artificial inclubation met with
litrle success until the last quarter of the 19th century when owing to an
ever Increasing demand for poultry, largely because of a rapidly increasing
population, much experimental and construction work was done in this
country and abroad, resulting in many new and superior type of incubators
being developed. To Charles Cyphers belong much of the credit for develop
:ng here in America the socalled commercial incubator. While he was prob
ably not the flr3t to construct experimental machines, it was he who first
successfully developed their manufacture on a large commercial scale, and
through education he made it possible for a large number of persons to own
and operate incubators successfully.
So it was that the individual lamp heated incubator came into wide tiiw
in America and ha3 from the early days of its development until the present
found favor in the hands or our practical poultrymen and farmers. These
machines were of two types—hot air and hot water, one being about as
efficient as the other.
They ranged in capacity from 60 eggs up to 300 or 400. rarely larger
than the maximum mentioned. The last 20 years has witnessed a marked
improvement in incubator construction through the development of mammoth
incubators with almost unlimited capacitties. Machines which will hold
thousands of eggs heated from one unit plant, easily turned, with absolute
temperature control, have made possible the Immense development of the
baby chick industry which we are experiencing in America today. Today in
cubator hatched chicks are apparently just as strong, just as vigorous, just
as healthy and just as normal as are chicks hatched under hens; and it is
possible to hatch millions, where under hens but thousands could be hatched,
I" therefore due to the progress and development of incubator design and
construction that we have been able to build the poultry industry up to such
a high degree of development, and to enable the American hen to continue
to supply the ever Increasing needs of a rapidly growing population.
GROW SOME PEPPERS
Green pepers are a staple article in
the culinary repertoire, going into
hash, soups, stews, macaroni, spa
ghetti and many other dishes, and
equally valuable sliced raw in salads
ot various sorts. They are as easily
grown in the home garden as a to
mato and require exactly the same
conditions and treatment, warmth,
good soil, but not too rich, culture
and sun. They also seem to relish a
drenching of the foliage with the
hose from time to time in hot
weather.
Plants from the hotbed or from
dealers are due to go into the ground.
There are now more varieties from
which to choose than formerly, par
ticularly in the large, mild-lleshed,
sweet types. Bull Nose and Neapoli
tan are standard varieties. The Chi
nese Giant is a fine variety, but of so
late maturity that it sometimes dis
appoints unless an early start has
been made with it. The Pimento
a heavy-fleshed sweet pepper that is
popular.
The garden needs a few plants of
the little red-hot varieties to go into
the various condiments for winter
use. They are also highly ornamen
tal. Of these, the Chife and Tabas
co are well known for their extreme
heat. Steeped in vinegar they give
fiery sauces. Other small varieties
are red cherry, celestial, red Japan
cluster and creole or birdseye. These
are all hot, and the mistake should
bluffed us about the horse your
husband lent.”
“Oh, well, 1 knew Spalding
was not the proper man,' said
Helen in an apologetic voice.
The young fellow laughed.
“That is so; 1 reckon our officers
knew and we hunted Spalding to
help us get the other. Anyhow,
we don't grumble. You gave us
a bully breakfast and we thought
you a sport. Well, we're for the
settlement. Your servants,
ma 'am
They saluted her like an offi
cer, the big horses took the trail,
and Spiers, smiling, said in a
quiet voice, “All are your ser
vants, Helen the Conqueror."

PULLETS*Vs. HENS
One of the important facts that
has been disclosed by trap-nesting,
as well as the records which have
been kept bv commercial poultrymen,
is that pullets are more dependable
winter layers than yearling hens. Not
only do the pullets lay more eggs
in s year, but also more during the
searon of high prices.
The following figures, taken from
records kept by an expert poultry
breeder illustrate the difference
