Iiulnibators and brooders are of two types, hot walter and hot air. but iuny of them ire all hot air. Many of our correspoidenits In writ ng about hatching machines hegi their letters. "I've been sttng." They got It at the bargain counter. The exchange columns of tIe poul try journals are full of fellows whmo are anUous to trade machines on chickens. They will give you a gilt edge guarantee with the machine. hut the only way they can get chickens Is to swap. Such machines always luen. Iate-lots of trouble. Now. It's pecks of fun to sit up nights with au Incubator full of high priced eggs and monkey with a smoky 1:11m1p and :a cranky regulator and. after twenty-one days of such nervous prOS tration, to just get left. And this ill turns to hushels of fun and tons of amusement If you have invited all .your relatives Vid friends around to behold the woil1erful miracle of na ture when those beautiful. fuzzy halls of chick netivity break from their irk some environment to begin the -voyage of life. In such a case New Year resolutions. antimarriage pledges and church vows often prove a failure like the hatch, and even the company's guarantee gets a black eye. Then what do you sup pose happens when the company lets him down easy by saying. "In such a case it is the result of poor manage ment aind infertile eggs, and we, of coturse, are not responsible and will not return the purchase pricer' Tableau. Please remember that the best hatch ing and brooding machinery Isn't just so much lumber and carpenter work. The practical incubator tlint turns out the big brood of livable ch1icks wvasn't hatched In a pile of sawdust and shavings by some mongrel that stole her nest. It is the result of costly experiment and sclentific tlinking. If a reputale incubator hohldng 150 eggs coshi you fromi $20 to $'.5 and( ma birooder- to match is quoted at $18 to $20. don't twIst your face to say. "Whew!''

This is only commliItm decency. Don't gpt the Idea' that a larger- mia chIne at a c-heal) price is better thtan a smaller reputable machine at the samie pricc. Ilun;.arians always buy boots for the amioumt of leather for the price. not according to the fit. Better- have a safety device incuba tforflhat costs $20 and hatches eighty (hiic(s to thle huniidr-ed eggs set than a 200 egg amachine that costs $20 and burns your house down. Large maachtncs are harder to r-egum late, more difiicult to keep filled wihm eggs, IImm many of them burn mtore oil than two half the size. Tihey are har-d to sell secondh11and'. and a p'oor hatchi Is a big loss. Th~e 150 eg ch'e Is our- measurme for best re sults.

C S HATCHING BY ELECTRICITY. v Tie electroplane. the electrobator. the electrolhenl. will not perform a great _ part In hatching operations. With a dol lar tueter rent and exo-hitant rate: in many small cities and towns and most pioultryimen locnted far from electric p1lants, we fear tile patentees will n'ot. get rich. A chealpl portable light plantt is next in order. r IDEAL DROWN LEGHORN HEAD t FOR BREEDERS. t t 0 Ri e I.
