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.
