In placing eggs in the trays elevate the large end 

 as shown in Fig. 17, so that the head of the chick 

 will form in that end. If the head forms in the 

 small end there are nine chances to one that it will 

 never get out of the shell. 



TABLE FOR KEEPING RECORDS. 



The accompanying table will be found very use- 

 ful for recording hatches, and such records will 

 enable the poultryman to discover and explain in- 

 telligently the causes of his successes or failures in 

 hatches ; to anticipate and avoid the poor material, 

 and to classify and properly treat that which he 

 does use. In marking or recording air spaces 

 make it as near as you can, but do not attempt to 

 measure them all.
