11 OF INTEREST TO FARMERS 11
STARTING THE INCUBATOR
Whether one is operating a smaTI individual lamp heated incubator, elec
tric incubator or man.moth incubator, it is essential that the machine be given
a thorough overhauling at the beginning o each hatching season. This means
first of all the removal of trays, thermometers, muslin diaphragms and every
thing that is moveable, sweeping the inside of the machine, spraying it with
a good disinfecting solution such as Zenolium, Sterilac, B-K. etc.,, dry clean
ing all moveable parts and immersing them in a disinfecting solution setting
them up in the sun to dry.
After they are dry they should be replaced. The outside of the machine,
as well as all temperature and ventilating and regulating devices should be
gone over carefully to see that all adjustments work freely, that no rust has
accumulated and that no parts have been bent or broken The glass windows
should be thoroughly cleaned so that one can see through them readily, and it
Is an excellent plan to give the Incubator a coat of Spar varnish at least every
other year. An incubator cellar is apt to be more or less moist and everything
should be done to keep the doors from warping and to keep the moisture out.
of the wood. A vacuum cleaner will be very helpful in cleaning the inside of
the various sections, and in the case of the mammoth machine, in cleaning
the space between decks where it is hard to get with a broom or brush.
The heater parts should be gone over carefully whether it is a kerosene
lamp or a ccal stove. All parts should be thoroughly cleaned. All dampers
should bo removed and scraped to remove rust and dirt and thev should be re
placed. All moving or friction parts should be thoroughly oiled. Grates in
coal burning stoves should be examined to see that thev are not broken and
work freely. Stove pipes, if they have not been previously removed, should be
removed and all soot taken cut and if the pipes are weakened through rusting,
they should be replaced with new.
In the case of lamp heater machines, the wicks should be replaced in the
lamps, ising glass windows carefully cleaned to remove any soot and anv brok
en ising glass should be replaced with new. It is well to paint all exposed heat
er pipes on mammoth incubators as well as the heaters themselves, with stove
paint to not only add to the appearance, but also to durability of the equip
ment and prevent continuous rusting.
The seats of all draft dampers should b? scraped and filed and examined
carefully to see that the dampers set evenly on the seat. In all hot water ma
chines. whether of the mammoth type or kerosene type, the water should be
removed from the pipes or tanks and they should be flushed out with water
under pressure, this to remove any sediment that may accumulate on the bot
tom of the pipe or tank and cause irregular radiation. This flushing of the
pipes is very essential in the mammoth Incubator to maintain an even distribu
tion of heat in all parts and in each section.
Automatic alarms which register extreme variations In temoerature. either
automatic should be overhauled and tested to see that they are functioning
properly.
All thermometers should be removed and tested carefully In warm w'ater
alongside of a standardized thermometer of known accuracy. It is possible,
if one has a section of the incubator that is known to read the same, the ther
mometers can be placed in it side by side and corrections made accordingly
by dry heat rather than warm water. Warm water, however, gives the most
accurate test.
So much for the preparation of the incubator for the season’s hatch. At
least a week before it is time to put the eggs in the machine, the incubator
should be started and run continually and carefully just as though the eggs
were in the machine, and during this period of preliminary running, the ma
chine should be adjusted carefully to operate at the desired tempprature. It
will B^e the machine an opportunity to dry out, for all swollen doors to come
back to normal and open readily, and in the case of a new machine which
has never been rim before, it should be givr-n this week to 10 days preliminary
running to heat it up and allow plenty of time for adjustment and regulation.
The eggs should be traved up at least a day before they are placed in the
incubator and allowed to lie in a room where the temperature is abound CO
to 70 degrees for at least 24 hours before being placed in the machine. If
these precautions are all taken before the incubation season starts a great
deal of disappointment and delay in starting will be accomplished and much
more satisfactory results given.
PUKE BRED BEST
The man who has early maturing
pork animals has the Jump on the
breeder wose animals mature in the
early winter in the matter of market
price as well as economy, for he is
able to avoid the annual glut which
always causes a price decline.
Violently fluctuating markets need
hold no terror to the breeder if he
has a herd of early-maturing, pure
bred Polands so that he can escape
the bad winter market. He is able,
by virtue of their early maturity fea
ture, to get his hogs on the market
weighing 250 to 275 pounds <n 6 to 7
months, thus avoiding the severe price
breaks of the early winter. The great
majority of farmers take lower prices
for their hogs because it takes them
9 or 10 months to get the hogs ready,
and about this time the market is
at the bottom or fast descending to
that point.
Many shy at the big type hog be
cause they believe he cannot be fat
tened u sder 300 pounds, and since this
weight oes not get the call or price
that th neat, short-coupled kind do,
they us i smaller animals for breed
ing and feeding.
It is rrong to think that the big
type ho 6 because they are so big in
bone and frame when full grown,
cannot be marketed at less than 350
pounds or more. They can be shipped
when they are as low as 175 pounds,
and still be in condition to land up
around the top, says the breeder.
A herd of purebred sows, not nec
essarily registered, combined with a
good, strong purebred boar will give
strong, thrifty litters, which will gal
lop right along to market, in 7 to 3
months, weighing 250 pounds or bet
ter; and most often good enough to
bring the best price of the day.
Fatten them as they grow. If you
put them on pasture, for instance,
they will grow a large frame, but
little fat; but by keeping a balanced
ration cf corn end tankage before
them all the time, they mature into
nic^ butcher hegs that kind gx>d de
mand.
A good plan is to keep the pigs eat
ing corn and tankage 'rom the time
they start to nibble at the gram put
out for the sows. And, by continuing
ojowviii uu uuu uuvu
pasture, they fatten as they grow.
By keeping them as fat as they are
big, the breeder is enabled, at ail
stages of the season, when breakers
are ahead; to ship them any time
after 175 pounds.
liaising purebred hogs for market
sounds strange in view of the fact
that a few years ago registered hogs
were looked upon as a luxury, too
steep lor the market to handle. His
limit was a purebred boar; but now
l he is changing to blooded sows. The
first cost may be a little higher, but
everything considered, it is cheaper
in the long run.

SHALLOW CULTIVATION,
Do not wait for the corn to get
much above the ground before be
ginning cultivation. A harrow put
on Just before the plant appears
above the rurface or immediately
afterward kills millions of weeds
and prepares the soil for the tender
plant when it i ernes through.

vated with safety. If the season is
dry more cultivation is nesessary, be
cause it has been demonstrated that
the average rainfall is not sufficient
to grow a full crop of corn without
keeping the moisture under the sur
face, and the importance of thorough
cultivation in dry seasons is there
fore apparent.
A fine dust mulch will keep the
moisture from evaporating and ren
der the plant food available for the
corn roots.
The first cultivation may be deep,
but after cultivations should be shal
low. The old-fashioned plow ripping
along between rows four or five in
ches deep, tearing and cutting off
the roots, has destroyed millions of
bushels of corn in times gone by.
Most farmers know better now, but
there may be yet some unenlightened
man. and to him this warning applies.
When the corn plant is three or
four feet high the fibrous roots ex
tend from one row to another and
form a mat from three to five inches
under the surface. When six to
eight feet high these roots have
formed a complete connection be
tween the rows, and it can easily be
understood that a cultivator set five
or six inches deep will tear this mat
npart and thus greatly injure the
growing plant.
CARE AFTER‘TREATMENT
The losses after vaccination in
many herds is due to overfeeding. It
has been stated by many extensive
breeders and feeders that proper feed
ing of swine after vaccination is as
important as proper vaccination. It
has been demonstrated that im
munity of recent vaccinated swine
can be overcome by improper feed
ing. Many socalled “breaks" after
immunization are found upon in
vestigation to be due to excessive or
improper feeding. Gorging with corn,
tankage or any other feed, is very
likely to induce digestive derange
ments, thus diminishing the pigs’ re
sistance and making them subject to
the virus that has been injected.
Ample quantities of good pure water
should be provided swine that have
___mi. . if
x lit jauuii ouuuiu
consist of very little feed for the first
two days and then they may be given
1-3 to i-i of their usual ration until
about 10 days after vaccination, when
they can be gradually placed on full
feed.
Hog cholera Is a preventable dis
ease and the vaccination of pigs after
weaning is cheap insurance but the
vaccination of pigs with anti-hog
cholera serum and virus will not
protect them against any other dis
ease; and further if the vaccination
is not properly done and the hogs
properly cared for after the vaccina
tion, the results will be problematic.
