never find fault with you for being too careful. 
Attend to the details in such way as suits you 
best, provided the result is thorough and ever- 
lasting cleanliness. Nothing less will win out, 
and nothing less will meet the requirements of 
our factory rules. 
« The first thing to do is to get the incubating 
cellar made. It ought to be four feet in the 
ground and four feet out of it. Make it ten feet 
by fifteen, inside measure, and you can easily 
run five two-hundred-egg incubators. Build it 
near the south fence in No. 4,— that’s the lot for 
the hens. The walls are to be of brick, and we'll 
have a brick floor put in, for it’s too cold to con- 
crete it now. Gables are to point east and west, 
and each is to have a window; put the door in 
the middle of the south wall, and shingle the 
roof. Digging through three feet of frost will 
be hard, but it must be done, and done quickly. 
I want you to start your incubator lamps before 
the 3d of February.” 
“JT can dig the hole without much trouble, — 
a big fire on the ground for two or three hours 
will help,—and I can put on the roof and do 
all the carpenter work, but I can’t lay the 
brick.” 
“Tl look out for that part of the job, but I 
want you to see that things are pushed, for I shall 
have a thousand eggs here by February 1st and 
another thousand by the 25th, and these eggs 
mean money.”
