The eggs should be turned night and morning after the second day.

As the eggs are gathered and stored, they are turned half over every day or two. This prevents the germ from becoming attached to the lini membrane of the shell. In this happens, de- velopment is prevented. This is frequently the cause of dead germs that are discarded at the first test. Before setting the eggs, if incu- bators are used, they are thorough- ly disinfected before using. Infect- ed incubators are frequently the cause of many disorders of chicks, especially white diarrhea. The in- eubator is run a day or two before the eggs are set, in order that it may be properly regulated. All dirty eggs are cleaned with warm water and a soft cloth. They must not be handled with dirty or greasy fingers; this dirt or grease stops the po of the shell, thus preventing the germ from getting the necessary supply of air which is taken in through pores. If hens are set, a sod or a-few inches of damp earth is placed un- der the straw in the nest. This will keep the eggs from drying out too fast.

If ed later than this, do not thrive nor will they come to laying ma- turity early enough to be profitable, After the incubator has been set up and run empty for a couple of days, and regulated to the fraction of a degree, it is ready for the eggs. The trays should be filled but not crowded or breakage will result. The eggs must not stand eggs is evaporating rapidly the time of airing must be shortened. The moisture question is a great stumbling block. Once this is solved successful hatches will be the rule, other things being normal. A good way to test for evaporation is to place a dish of sand in the ma-/} chine in the morning. If it is dry at night, or nearly so, it indicates rapid evaporation, and it should be replaced until it remains fairly damp. If the sand remains fairly damp after several hours, the ven- tilators should be opened wider and the eggs aired more. It is better to have a slight ex- cess of moisture rather than too little. Lack of moisture cause chicks to die in the shell, while an oversupply make the chicks swell to such size that they have no room to liberate themselves at the pro- per time. The eggs are tested on the sev- enth and fourteenth days. All in- fertile, broken yolks, and dead germs should be taken out. In testing eggs practice is of gaod deal more value than precept. The eggs are not turned after the nineteenth day.: The incubator is closed up and not bothered until the hatch is completed. If the eggs hatch before the twenty-first 50 per cent of the eggs set hatch strong, healthy chicks, it may be considered a successful hatch. As soon as the chicks have dried off, they are removed from the incubator and transferred to brood- ers, or given to hens. They mayj{ be transferred by putting them in a lined box. This must be done quickly lest the chicks get chilled. Se RERRRREnaEEEEE ERR A READ A MINNESOTA HERO 4 a esrreiectesttentectectontetontetecte testes In the American Magazine there appeared recently among the prize letters for the best description of brave deeds, one which was entitled “A Minnesota Hero,” says the Du- luth Herald. The letter was supposed to have been written by the hero himself, but it was not. Unknown to’ the hero of the incident related, it was written by his best friend. It told of how the hero had hired out toa Minnesota logger for the winter of 4882 to run a camp on the Big Fork river, eighty miles north of the town of Grand Rapids, and how he handled a smallpox siege and pulled thirty-five men through a period of near-starvation and ill- ness. The story, of course, did not mention the hero’s name, but a friend in Grand Rapids wrote the Herald stating what the facts in gave a township on the Big Fork, which gift was later cut down to 460 acres. All that Sam got was the approval of his comrade lum- berjacks, that of his inner being— if he ever chanced to think of the matter after it was past—and what credit he has on the Eternal Led- nes The following is the letter re- ferred to above. “In the fall of 4882 I hired to James Colwell, a Minnesota logger, to run a camp for him on the Big Fork river, about eighty miles north of the present town of Grand Rapids. “Well, 1 got up there with a crew, built camps, and had the winter’s work fairly started when uidlg came a man with the small- pox. “He had stopped a while in my camp and then gone on to another Colwell camp where he was taken down, the first news of it I had was when the whole crew from the upper camp came stampeding down.
