Tho'Inclubator Therm, Q. r
, .
"It is my idea` that nothing, contri-
butee More largely to incubator falluree than the failure of the oPerator
to place the thermometer ita ii cor-
reet relationship te the egg," write
a man who has hadsmany. , yeara of
experience with' incubators, "The
great 'majority or incubator users do
not, understand that unless the' ineu-
beior thermometer.is kept in a certain
positiop with relation to the egge, the
thermometer will not register the
proper temperature." '
I have alvvays held that during; the
period of incubation the bulb, of the
incubator thermometer should rest, on
a fertile ege,, in, order that the correc
hat hingetemperature, might be main-
tained, An infertile egg, or an egg'
,which -the 'germ has died, will not'
he,maite edwarm as a '1 Ole ono,' and
when the bulh of the therradmeher,
rests on an egg jn which there is no
life, the thermometer will register al
lower. temperature than when the bulbis •

life.- .
There are different opinions regard-
ing this, however,, the same as there
are about other things in connection
with the operation of incubators. The
.careful user of :incubators will, afterl
a hatch or two, knoll how best fd
place ,the thermometer in the, egg -e
chamber toget the best results. And
the incubator user will learn, not enly
hew to handle the therrnometer, htit
everything else necessai•y to be known:
about the operation n'f the particular
machine in ithe by carefully observing
and 'folleriving' the instructions given
by the .manufacturer of that incu-
bator. • I
Each, incubator ,manufacturer is
sincere in this. desire for each one of
his ;customers to.,ba successful. Each
Manufacturer knows how his ince-
hater should be operated to' get the
best 'results. If the instructions ae-
corripanying the incubator •to'a are
using say to place the therMometer
on the ,eggs 'put it there, because that
particulali‘ incubator is. made for the
thermometer to be placed in the po-
sition Mentioned. If you have an -in-
cubator equipped with a. thermometer
hanger, and the instructions say. to
put the thermometer on this hanger,
then follow these instructionsebecause
this -particular machine is go made
that the correct hatching temperature
can be Maintained only by -placing
the therinemeter in incubator ac-
cording to the instriwtions.
" If all, incubator 'Ugere Will bean in
mind filet the inatructions accompany-
ing each incubator should be carefully
followed, antiewill thenfollow there.,
it is, not likely that there will be ariy
seriousdifficulty in maintaining 'the

short, follow instructions and you wili

Have You a lrypeWriter?
Too little importance is attached to
tthe value of the typewriter on "the I
farm: As one farmer put it when the
subject was broached to him: "Never
write it letter but once or twice a year,
and then. I guess I can -use the ele-
phant tracks I learned to make at
school." Too many men are of the °
same mind. Sometimes it is this small
matter of writing a fele neatly -typed
letters which takes away the farmer's
10 -per _cent, and part of his good
living. It is excusable when a rebuilt
typewriter may b'e.bought for a small
'sum', Every inan with a well regulat-

Fertilizing the grcha
Calculated from analysis an orch-

-that more phosphoric acid is required
than is fevealed by san analyeis of
the crop. Experimenthl results would
indicate that a .fertilizer caerying 00
pounds of nitrogen, 50. pounds of
,phosphoric acid, and 50 pounds of
potash, should be furnished annually
