In the days when brooders were poor in quality some poultryman doubted the value of incubators 'because ef, the lerge mortelrity aanoeg ehicles brooded artificially. But with modern brooding equipment to care for the ehielcs, we find that the incubator is practical and profi table. When, only hops are used for hatoh- ing it is difficult to hetee early, Often • the best hens that lay through the winter are the hens that Wish to set first in the spring. Sometimes these hens are set oil eggs laid by the poorer layers that have started to lay later in the winter, This means that the best hees are turned away from the production of eggswhen they are most needed to produce chicks.. The hens • of less value which have not become broody are then producing the eggs for hatehing. The incubator enables the poultry- man. to keep all his hens busily pro- ducing eggs. For example, a 360 -egg incubator .will be doing the work of twenty-four hens. Those hens will be laying and I believe. the strain on the vitality of a hen due to laying is less than the devitaliain,g effect of three weeks steadily on the nest, followed by a long period of worrying- while penned up in a brood coop mothering the chicks. It seems tohelp in breeding out the tendency to broodiness in a flock if leech atom god brooders , are used and the liens are broken up promptly and returned to leying condition. One of the items of work in managing floeks of the American and Asiatic breeds is to conkantly be penning up broody hens from spring lentil winter and even during the eoldest part of win- ter. It tertainly pays to breed from hens with the smallest possible ten- dency to broodiness. A good incubator not only produces -vigoroue checks but pays for itself by seeing time for the hens. The Children's Hour The Swifter" Each whiles.- for the past several eears The Weekly Record had. offered a $50 prize to the speediest beb-sled in the county, and: a silver leap to the hob -wieffning the long-distance race. Reece had the Blaine ha won both prizes, andenever had, a Magnolia We been a whaler. In its last issue the Record had announced the coining .8aturday as the day chosen for the vexes. The conditioos were few and. simple. • la the speed cm:fleet. the bobs were to • Mee theee abreast, and there were • eighteen entries which meant six races to pick six wiemere. These would then fight the final issue. Tee course was a steep hill about half mile long, with a long smooth stretch at the bottom. The Record office fated en this smooth stretch, had its.parch served, as judges' stand eppesite which stood the finishing stake. This year the races promised to be mom exiting than ever and the vehole tome was talking about them. Eight •neighboring villages 'were represented in the entries, with the eame bob e that won lost year entered again. Magnolia supporters heel lite hope of 'whining, for kat year both their bobs had been baldly beaten. yea e these were enteted again e but the people did not show much enthusiasm' about them.

With mad haste the boys pulled their bob to the top of the hill, all the -while answering es many ques- tions as beeath would allow. By the rbime the hob was in, position, it was the centre of an admiring throng. Carefully Walter ran a file over her four runners and the new hob was ready for her maiden trip. The boys scmambled into plaee and Fred, insist- ing that Walter be the first to steer, took his positioileat the beck ready to shove off. But just ass they were reader to move, they heard themselves greet- ed from the sidewalk. "Well, boy,$), what have you got there?" It was Mr. Weoezen, the Mayon- of Magnolia who spoke. All the boys answered. excitedly, but it was Walter who finally explained about their big, the plan, “Ara you say this is the first trip?" "Yes, sir." Walter looked very proud. "Well, that's fine, and what have eou named her?" Ilere was something none had thought of. All agreed .a name was rueceseetxy and many names were promptly suggested. • At lest Mr. Woodson. raised' bis hand and the hos% fell silent 'Hew does the `Swifter' strike you, boys?"
