NATURAL LAWS. 31 



sell $1 to $15 per thirteen egg's, if you have the right kind of 

 stock. Farmers sell eggs in the spring for eight cents per 

 dozen in the stores while I sell them at $5 per thirteen, and 

 thousands of other breeders do the same thing. If you go 

 into the Poultry business for the market look up private 

 trade, and you get twenty-five per dozen easily for your 

 eggs the year round. But you must stamp each egg and 

 guarantee them fresh laM and not over three days old. 

 Thousands of rich families will pay fifteen to twenty cents 

 above store prices if eggs are fresh and come from reliable 

 poultrymen, and you can always get eighty to ninety cent 

 for a three pound spring chicken if you get them in May and 

 June. Hatch them in an incubator and raise them by 

 brooders and it will pay you well. If you go in for the fancy 

 poultry business, advertise and show your stock. It certain- 

 ly will pay to advertise heavily the year round. It pays me 

 well in the fancy poultry business, but I am warning those 

 who are not experienced to go slow and learn to walk first.

 ture the year round. The roof should be double boarded 

 with a four inch air space, the room should be clean and no 

 other truck in it except incubators. It should not be very 

 light and not damp, but should have a sweet smell and lots 

 of pure fresh air, no draught, windows open to the east only, 

 floor of sand, no board floor, the only wood to be the sup- 

 ports of the incubators. The machine must be set level, this 

 gives an even heat all over the machine. 



How to Start an Incubator with Eggs in it. 



Above all never save the eggs longer than eight days for 

 incubators. Should all be of a size and of one breed. Bet-
