ERS FOR PROFITABLE CHICKEN RAISING. Clemson College, S. C.-Recent ly many letters have been re coived by the Poultry Division asking for information relative to the use of incubators and brcodem in hatching and rearing chickens. The high cost of poultry foods and the great demand for fresh eggs and frys have convinced poultry raisers that it will pay to use a dependable system to obtain chicks this year. The old sitting hen will not work when we want her to. She and hei friends -refuse to go broody in January and February, but they fI1 every avail able nest as soon as the weather turns warm and the time of hatching the best chickens is over. "My hens would not sit early and I could not buy any early sitters," is heard every summer and fall by own brs of little chickens. Any one who likes poultry can op erate an -incubator successfully. It is necessary to turn the vggs morning and night and till the lamp once a day It is not, necessary to examine a good machine more often than two or thref times daily, when the above work can be done. Every Incuhator Is equipped with I thermostat to regulate the tempera ture. The more popular types of keroseni 1iilp inscbliatorl, ar heated by hot air although there are sonic good .tylcs heated Iy the cirulation of hot water The main a(vantage of the hot air ma chine Is that of durability. The past year has found the electric incubator springing rapidly to the front. This machine can now be ob tained for use on any voltage. It It also made to be used with one of th home lighting systems found on mnanyi Souith Cairolina farins. The cost 01 operating an electric incubator is nm greater than that of a lamp machine 'Ph' tecii perat.ure cnn be mainainet at a uniform degree and the machin can ie placed in any roomx of thi house. It is usually fouad t'hat a profihablq size intcuibator to buy hi ote with I capacity of about 40 oggm. The sizo containing from 120 to 150 eggs is ala popular with poultrymen who do noA desire to raise more than 200 or 30C chickens a year. l'owvesr, a large in cubator when only one-half filled wil give as good hatching reuilts as a smaller machine, so that a big ma chino gives you an opportunity tU hatch eggs for others or hatch suMff. cient chicks to sell the surplus to your neighbors. The best size for an eleo tric machine is about 150 oggs. Just now these machlies are rather hi-gh in price owing to lit4lo c ,ompotition, but it is hoped that within ii shiort tieiE the price of the electric will be about the same as tli limp-heatud incubator Thei boleter types of incubators are Imilt with dotible walls witi one inch (' More of insulating matorial betweei the wali. This prveniti the tempora, hure of the gg chamber beinsg affect, ed vitally by changes in the outside tiepratur' of tho room. The cheap. or incubattrs have simply a single wall or a dolble wall with a pi-ece of Isastaboard be :ween. It Joes not p;4y to tiuy the ciheapor incubr~t(.rs made in this way. Somuo mnachiines have a separ-ate comipartmenit below the eggs into which the chicks drop as noon as they are hatched. This is a c'sonveience, but It is of nio specila-I auivantsage. The aver'age / number of chicks hatched from the eggs placed in an incubator is about one-hid?. When you buy an incubator it Its well to or dotr one or more portable brooders, al lowing 50 chicks to eaclshbroeder'. Most of the manufacturers rate the capacity of their brooders at about t wice ats many chickat as they will satisfactorily rear. Trhese portable brooders are about two feet In diarneter and stand on three cast iron legis. The kerosene lamnp is undler one side anid a woolen curtain milrrounds the lowver part of the brooder. 'The baby ('hicks push under this woolen curtai'n and the heat of the lamp keeps thle iniside o1 he brooder at t he requisred t emphera, tur'e of ninsiet.y to n inst y-ti ve ilegrees, It Its a sim l in mb oatte r- tn ra ise in cold weattier' aslmiot all the chickes in a br. o'ler of thIis hindi ~ when it is placedl in a bright rooms.
