SATURDAY EVENING,' SIMPLE RULES FOR THE OPERATION OF INCURATOR Most Successful Methods are Those Learned From the Sitting Hen Ventilation, Temperature, Moisture and Turning the Eggs are the Essentials By Frank C. Hare. Poultry, Husbandman, Clomson Col lege, South Carolina. According. to the writings of Aris totle and Pliny the ancient KgypUans hatched eggs In vessels which they buried in the ground ami covered wIU manure. For the last two Uiousaitd years the Egyptians have successfully incubated eggs In Immense baked-clay liatchcries wlileli are heated by burn ing piles of straw and dried manure. The hatchery lias a capacity of 36,- 000 eggs, 6,000 of which are added every three days. The eggs rest on two inches of cut straw, art- turned three times daily, and almost all the fertile eggs hatch. In 1908 It was reported that out of eighty-five million eggs placed In the hatcheries, seventy-live and one-quarter million chickens were returned to the Egyptian husband men. The success of the Egyptian hatch eries, and equally gratifying results in China, demonstrate that it is possible to hatch as great a percentage of chicks by artificial methods, as when the work is performed by hens. And since no thermometers are used in either country where hatcheries are employed, the heat of the room being ascertained by placing an egg to the closed eyelid of an expert attendant, and crude heating methods are ' em ployed, it is evident that the successful hatching of eggs cannot be such a del icate process as we have imagined. In America and Europe there are no baked-clay hatcheries, but the eggs are Incubated in lots of fifty to many thousands in special incubators heat ed by kerosene, gas or coal. While there are excellent small incubators on the market designed for the poultry man with a small flock, a most de sirable size for even the beginner is the machine that holds about 250 eggs. When more than 1,500 eggs are to he Incubated at one time, a mam moth incubator heated by a kerosene or coal burning stove Is generally pre ferred to a number of lamp-heated In cubators. Location of Incubator. An incubator should be placed in a well ventilated room. A bright, airy cellar or a north room having fairly uniform day and night temperatures are most suitable, while a close room filled with impure air will kill the em bryos in the most vigorous hatching eggs. Keep the windows constantly open on at least one side of the in cubator room, and, if there is a draft on the machines, cover these windows with thin cloth. Set up and level the incubator. Fill the lamp with high-grade kerosene. Then operate the incubator without eggs in it until a temperature of 102 degrees can be maintained in the egg chamber from one night until the 1 next. The thermometer should hang from the ceiling of the egg chamber, with the bulb so placed that it reg isters the temperature of the air sur rounding the upper portion of the eggs. Do not allow the thermometer to touch an egg, as the temperature will fluctuate each time the bulb is moved from a living to a dead em bryo—the latter being colder. Studying Natural Incubation. We will insert an incubator ther mometer under a sitting hen that hat ches successfully to learn at what tem peratures her eggs incubate. By aver aging the results of a number of trials, we discover that all eggs in the nest are not .kept equally warm. The tem perature of the bare breast of the sit ter, against which the center eggs rest is 104.6 degrees. The. air at the upper portion of the middle row of eggs in the nest is 103.4 degrees, while that circulating around the out side row of eggs just inside the sit ter's wing lias a temperature of 99.4 degrees. In taking these temperatures the thermometer was placed at the breast of the hen, or held near the upper portion of the eggs, with the intention of making these readings under the hen correspond with the readings of the same thermometer in the egg chamber. The hens used in the experiment hatched practically eyery fertile egg, and, for that reason, can be considered authentic. We have learned, therefore, that the highest temperature to which eggs should be subjected in an incubator is about 104'/i degrees—any higher tem perature is unnatural. The lowest temperature to which eggs should be held for a long period is about 99 V 4 degrees. By estimating the tempera ture of each egg daily from its location in tho nest whether at the hen's breast, middle, or outside row and computing these temperatures, it was found that the average temperature during the hatch at which each egg is incubated under a lion is 102.3 degrees, i Temperature, Turning and Cooling. As a result of this and other experl- mental work with sitting hens and in cubators it haß been shown that the best results will be obtained when a temperature of about degrees is maintained throughout the entire hatch, including the ilnul period when the chicks are emerging from the shells. It is not necessary to keep the eggs at a constant temperature of degrees, but this should be the object aimed at, and at least the aver age temperature for each day or week and the hatch. Of course, the sitter cannot main tain an invariable heat of 102 Vi de grees for every egg every hour of the hatching period, but it is believed that each egg averages this temperature each day. It can be conservatively stated that a sitting hen turns her eggs at least ten times a day, roiling the outside eggs to her breast and changing the positions of each egg in the nest. This rolling takes place the first day the hen sits on the eggs. Fill the incubator in the morning and turn the eggs that evening, and continue turning them morning and eveing until the first chick pips tho shell. Three turnings a day are prac ticed in Egypt and by some American operators. The noon turning could not be harmful and it might be beneficial, but so far as we know, no experiments have been conducted to decide this question of additional turnings. Test the eggs at the end of the first and second weeks and remove the in fertile eggs and dead germs. The egg chamber of the incubator is warmer at the center than near the door, and to overcome this variation, the center eggs are frequently lower or farther from the heating compart ment. However, this uneven heat is not injurious when the eggs are moved around the egg chamber of the ma chine similarly to their movement un der a hen. If the incubator tray has no divisions, place the center eggs at the front and back of the tray and roll the remaining eggs toward the center. If the eggs are in rows on the tray, keep moving the outside eggs of each row to the center. When there are two trays, shift them from side to side of the egg chamber and turn them end for end alternately, thereby equaliz ing as much as possible the incubating temperature of each egg. Leave the eggs out to cool and air at each turning until they are almost cold. Fifteen to twenty minutes is not too long to cool the eggs in warm weather. Commence cooling and airing the eggs in this manner at the first turning and continue it at each turn ing until the first egg is pipped. Keep the door of the eg£ chamber closed while the eggs are airing. Moisture and Ventilation. In a dry room thoroughly sprinkle the eggs on the tenth, fourteenth and eighteenth days of incubation, with warm water (105 degrees), removing the trays and scattering the water over eggs and tray with a whisk broom. Open the ventilators through out the hatch. Do not place a tray of water under the eggs as it is an ideal medium for the development of mold, the spores of which fungus cause one form of white diarrhoea in baby chicks. The egg chamber must be filled with moist air when the chicks are pipping the shell on the nineteenth and twen tieth days of Incubation, otherwise the shell membranes (skins inside the shell) become dry and tough and many chicks are imprisoned. Pure air is also necessary at this critical time. The sitting hen exposes the pipped eggs constantly to the cool outside air in her desire to assist with her beak the chicks emerging from the shells. The limited ventilation of the egg chamber is inadequate for a number of live chicks. Instructions For the I,ast Days. When the chirp of the first chick is heard about the nineteenth day. If the glass of the door of the egg chamber is not dripping with moisture, with draw the tray partly and sprinkle the eggs with warm water as previously described. Close the door until the early chicks are hatched. Then with draw the trays a second time, place the dry chick compartment under the tray, roll the eggs around and examine them for mishaps, and sprinkle eggs and newly-hatched chicks with warm water. Wet the front of the trays and the inside of the egg chamber also. The whole operation should not re quire more than two minutes. j After the hatching, from the t time tlie chicks leave the shelter of? : the Incubator until tjicy are wean-1 I c<l from the brooddr. the poultry-; I man is apt to regard life ns a rath-! ier serious proposition unless lie I J has reliable brooding facilities.

Scheme to Smuggle Goods to Interned Ships Is Discovered By Associated Press Philadelphia, March 10.—Alleged attempts to smuggle goods on and off the two German commerce raiders in terned at the Philadelphia navy yard, are under investigation here to-day by agents of the Federal government, in- ' eluding the collector of the port. A sergeant of marines at the yard, who is alleged to have failed to search wagons conveying foodstuffs to the Kronprinz Wilhelm and the Prinz Eitel Friedrlch, is said to be involved. All Federal agents investigating the alleged smuggling scheme, refuse to talk. It was reported several arrests will be made. Some of the articles reported to have been smuggled from the ships are said to be part of the merchan dise seized by the cruisers while raid ing. There is no confirmation of the report that some of the boxes alleged to have been smuggled aboard the ships contained ammunition.

This person, he said, was a "man who should have been its principal witness, namely the myster ious secret goevrnment agent known as Gordon." The attorney declared Gordon was a police spy who had started the whole plot, who had lured the defendants on and then when lie had got them well within his net, had handed them over to another agrent named Booth, so that his own connection with the case would not be ad flagrantly appar ent. Would Walk on Hot Iron "Why wasn't it possible for Gor don to come into court and facec the Jury?" asked the lawyer. "Because from him," lie continued, "the Jury would have drawn a very different version of the case." Later he said: "In the absence of Gordon I would suggest that the defendants should have a trial by ordeal." The judge was puzzled and said. "I fear that would be impossible. It has been abolished. Do you seri ously suggest the ladles should walk over hot plowshares In order to prove their innocence?" Rlza: "I do." The judge: "It is not use submitting such a suggestion.

BIG DEMAND FOR HOUSES IN CITY Applications For Dwellings Pouring in From Out-of- Town People Real estate dealers in Harrisburg, facing the biggest demand for houses in more than a dozen years, are at a loss to supply the many applicants with suitable dwellings. J. 15. Oipple, president of the Har risburg Heal Estate Board, discussing the situation said: "Daily the realty men of HarrUburg are receiving many inquiries for houses, in many oases from out-of-town people who want to locate here. Although there are a number of suitable places for sale, tho dwellings for rent are always in de j mand. / "Much of this is due to the present prosperity wave. The applications are from all classes. Traveling men in this district are using the city for their headquarters and want to bring their families here. Increased demand for labor and experienced hands In the Iron and steel mills, on the railroad and in other industrial plants add to the great number of people either looking for better homes, or trying to locate in Harrlsburg. "We are now facing the biggest de mand for houses since 1904 and have practically none to offer." HOUSES NEARING COMPLETION Interior work on four of the three story brick houses being erected in Nlnteenth near Chestnut street, by J. E. Glpple, 1251 Market street, will be | finished within the next few weeks, j Four other houses just completed, ! have been sold by Mr. Gipple. Clinton M. Hershey, real estate dealer, 14 South Second street, is of fering several homes near Bellevue Park. The dwellings are three-story, with improvements and comfortable porches. Franklin Sedan Shows Many Exclusive Features Something new in the line of enclosed cares made its appearance in town this week in the form of the latest Franklin Sedaq, now on dispulay at the Franklin Agency, 107 Market street. Of the new features, the body with its V-front, constructed with two built-in windshields of the adjustable type, is the most striking. When one is seated in the car, it is easily understood how { this design, by eliminating two side body posts, broadens the vision. The V-front also reduces wind resistance and makes possible eflicient ventila tion of the passenger compartment. The combination of the V-front with the new lines of the Franklin hood makes the appearance of the car attractive and different from the ordinary. A good example of Rothchild panel construction, a recent development In body building, ia seen in this Sedan. Its elimination of all joint moldings makes possible the much-sought smooth, unbroken exterior. One of the first things a person no tices when entering the car is the ease with which any seat in the passenger compartment can be reached from either side. The fact that the front Pullman seats can be tilted forward I out of the way does away with all fric ] tion and crowding. i That this car should weigh only 2,615 j pounds is something unusual, as auto ! mobile engineers generally consider ] 3,500 pounds the minimum for enclosed cars. The light weight of the Frank lin Sedan can be considered a real de velopment in automobile construction, inasmuch as it appreciably increases the usefulness of enclosed cars. Prob ably nothing will lend more to the adoption of enclosed cars for general use than the .economy, safety and greater range of travel which light weight opens up. Insurance Fight Nears Settlement in Council | Settlement of the workmen's com- I pensation insurance problem, which has been hanging fire in Council for week, will probably bo made Tuesday. Yesterday City Commissioners met with City Solicitor ohn E. Fox, and again went over the question, with the result that an effort will be made to ! settle the differences with the United States Fidelity and Guaranty Com pany for the first quarter. Whether the city will carry its own insurance, give the contract to the State or to the stock company for the remaining months of the year, also will proba bly be decided next week. After the conference yesterday it was said that shoudl thero be no settlement with the guaranty company, the commis sioners wilwl stand a test case in court. As the final contract for In suring city employes was never signed and approved by Council, it is con ndvd that the best way to end the discussion will be to have the city carry its own insurance again this year.
