POULTRY WORTH LESS WHEN IT IS WATER-SOAKED Paying the same price for wet packed chickens as for dry-packed in volves heavy money loss tqthe con sumer, according to the dressed poul try specialists of the United States De. partmcnt of Agriculture. Government experiments have shown that wet- packing a broiler and sending it to market on ice causes it to lose 13 per cent of its value and fowls lose about 10 per cent. If dry-packed broilers are worth 40 cents wet-packed are not worth more than 35 cents; if dry packed fowls cost 30 cents wet-packed ones should not cost more than 27 cents. , A chicken thrown into ice water to remove animal heat and sent to mar ket in a barrel in direct contact with cracked ice, it is pointed out. absorbs water for which the consumer has to pay chicken prices. The water also dissolves ouffrOm the chicken valu able flavoring and nutritive sub stances. These go into the water at the bottom of the barrel along with filth that is washed from dirtv feet and bloody heads and trickles down ward over the poultry. With a dry-packed chicken the ani. mal heat is removed by hanging the bird in an artificially-cooled room maintained at nearly freezing tern perature. The chicken is then packed into a box containing 12 birds and sent to market. The box n hau erl in refrigerator cars and is kept ty good retailers in good ice boxes until sold. THe bird is never wet; has no cnance to absorb water or become washed out. A bird should never be wet until it gets a final quick rinsing off in the housewife's kitchen.

Tuscania Survivor Cured Of Pneumonia by Exposure An Irish Port, Feb. 9. A remarka ble experience in the Tuscania disas ter was had by a Georgia private who was confined to bed with pneumonia when the torpedo struck. The Georgian rushed on deck clad only in a union suit. Another soldier gave up his coat to cover the sick man, who was lowered into a lifeboat and soon found him self on a trawler, where he sat on a wind-swept deck for hours. When he was landed here he felt so fully recovered from his illness that he could not be induced to go to the hospital. Egg Machines That's What the . Tom Barron S.C.W.

' J.J.WELSH Cherry croft, Omaha. Neb. Natural and A rtificial Methods Of Incubating and Brooding Chicks Expert Tells of Main Difficul- ties Encountered in Trying to Raise Poultry Early. v By PROF. O. C. UFFORD. The poultryman who raises but a few chickens will usually do his in cubating and brooding with the hen. His success will depend upon his care and management of her. One of the main difficulties is often to secure the broody hen early enough in the spring to produce early chicks. For the selection and setting of a broody hen, observe the following suggestions: Hens of the general purpose breeds or medium size are usually the best for hatching and brooding. ' Remove the broody hen carefully to her permanent quarters. Usually night is the best time. Confine her until she is used to her new nest. A few artificial eggs placed under her will help to make her satisfied. Provide a roomy nest about 14 to IS inches square. Make the nest shal low so the eggs will roll apart when the hen steps in. Don't set the hen in the laying house where other fowls can disturb her. I Always treat the setting hen for lice with a good louse powder or ointment. Don't confine the hen too long or too closely to the nest or she will foul the eggs. It is better to wipe the dirty eggs with a damp cloth than to leave them soiled. , Remove droppings from nest. Feed the hen her usual ration, elim inating moist or laxative feeds. Keep hen confined when chicks are J hatching. Don't disturb her. natural Brooding. The number ot chicks a hen will brood depends upon her size and the weather conditions. She can usually care for 10 to 15 chicks early in the spring and a larger number as the weather becomes warrrti f A serviceable coop is of the great est importance for sucessful brooding. It should have at least the following essentials: It should afford protection from drafts, unfavorable weather conditions and any of the natuiai exemies of the young chicks. It should be so constructed that it can be easily cleaned or moved with out sacrificing the durability of the coop. There are many good types of coops that may be adopted if they possess the above requirements. Artificial Incubation. Many people have trouble in operat ing an incubator successfully. How ever, in spite of difficulties, the mod ern incubator has its place and plays an important part in the poultry in dustry. It has many advantages over the hen. It is cheaper to run a 100-egg in cubator than it is to feed and care for the number of hens that would be re quired to hatch 100 eggs. It is better to keep the hens lajing. A flock of incubator hatched chicks are more uniform in size than chicks hatched at different periods by hens. The incubator is more practical for the poultry man raising a large flock. Custom hatching and the day-old chick business is made possible by the incubator and is becoming an import ant branch of the poultry industry. Hatching of eggs with the modern in cubator is a success. Choice of Incubator. The cheapest machine is not always the best and vice versa. An incubator should be substantially constructed of good material and well insulated. The regulating device and lamp should be accessible for cleaning and repairing and simple of construction. t In running an incubator it is gen erally advisable to fallow the direc tions of the manufacturer. However, here are a few practical suggestions that can be applied to the running of any incubator. Repairing Incubator. The incubator that has been used should be well cleaned before using again. Body. Clean thoroughly with soap and water and disinfect the interior. Ex amine egg tray and replace with new bottom if necessary. Regulating Device. Test thermostat and see that all parts are working freely by screwing nut until nearly all the play is taken up; then hold a lighted match several inches below thermostat. The disc over the lamp should raise quickly. Many hatches have been spoiled due to a defective thermostat. See that disc hangs evenly over vent on lamp. Lamp and Lamp Box. , Clean dut all soot from lamp and flues. This is important as soot may drop on flame,( causing a smokeup later. ' Pour out kerosene if any m lamp and refill three-fourths full. Examine burner and if it is not in good condition, replace with a new one. A dirty burner may be cleaned by boiling in water containing some baking soda or 'washing powder. Put in a new wick. A soggy or dirty wick may be cleaned as the burner. Clean lamp chimney and see that it fits on burner. Adjust seat of lamp so chimney fits properly in the flue. Wipe off all oil or grease on the lamp. Level the machine to secure proper distribution of heat. Regulating Incubator. Fill tank with hot water (if hot water type). Do not fill completely at first, as the water expands upon. heating and will run out upon the- floor of tank it full. Trim the wick, cutting straight across the top and then flipping off each corner, to give an oval flame. Fill three-quarters full, and light lamp, turning the wick to give a low flame at first, as the size of the flame will increase as the lamp heats up. A high flame before the flues warm up will cause smoking. If this takes place thej flues must be cleansed be fore heating system will work. Loosen the adjustments on the reg ulator until all the heat will pass through the machine. Allow for ex pansion of thermostat upon heating. When the temperature reaches 101 degrees Fahrenheit, adjust the regu lator until the disc is raised one eighth of an inch above the vent on the. lamp. , .0 Run the machine for at least 48 hours to be sure that it is properly regulated and that the temperature will remain constant. After the machine has once been adjusted and the temperature is con stant, don't "monkey" with the regu lating device. Care of the Lamjp. Lamp must be filled once daily. Trim wick at time of filling hy turn ing wick down and rubbing the charred portion ,off even with the top of wick guide with a match. Keep lamp and burner clean. Do not turn flame up too high after placing lamp back on machine. If the incubator is a hot air type in which there is a maximum amourtt of ventilation and particularly if it is to be operated in a dry room, a sand tray covering the entire bottom of machine may be necessary to supply sufficient moisture. In such case the sand should be thoroughly moistened when starting up the machine. If less moisture is required the same pan may be used without sand, as less water will evaporate from free water surface than from the moist sand. Only warm water should be used after eggs are placed in the incu bator. Care of the Eggs. Place the eggs in the machine and do not disturb them for two days. On the third day begin turning the eggs night and morning. Continue this until they begin to pip (chick pushes bill through shell) about the eight eenth or nineteenth day, at which time close up the machine and do not open until hatching is over. This is important. Sprinkle the floor underneath the machine at night and morning. Some Don'ts. Don't leave the door of the machine open while turning the eggs. Don't handle eggs with kerosene on your hands. . Don't leave without being sure the lamp flame is O. K. and not smoking. Be sure the lamp fits up tight against the chimney. Don't lay wearing apparel on top of the machine. It may interfere with the regulating device. Don't forget to fill and clean lamp daily. Keep records of your incubator. Artificial Brooding. For the successful and 'most eco nomical brooding of a large or small flock I have found that the Colony stove brooder produces the most sat isfactory results. They are conven ient, easy to clean and operate and provide a perfect control of tempera ture. Chilling is one of the most common troubles the poultry man has to con tend with in raising young chicks in a brooder. Nine cases out of ten of what is know as white diarrhoea are nothing more than a diarrhoea result ing from the chicks becoming chilled. Chirks nncf rhillpH arp 9 mfnir. in the flock. They are more susceptible to disease, keep dropping off, even after they have attained a large size. The cost of a Colony stove brooder is within reach of the average poultry man raising 200 to 300 chicks and for the number of chicks they will brood they are the most economical to op erate. Pioneer Dies Just as Son Starts for France Charles Erickson, 80 years old, Ne braska pioneer, died Friday night in Swedish Immanuel hospital from in firmities due to old age. A son, John, is supposed to be leav ing from an Atlantic port for France some time today and P. A.
