you into believing that just as good results 
can be had in one place as another. Think 
of what a cold chill strikes you when you 
get out of a warm bed in a cold room, 
even when you have your night-clothes on, 
and you will get some idea of what hap- 
pens to the little chick, inside the egg- 
shell, when the egg is brought out of the 
warm incubator into a cold room. And 
then, too, we should remember that the 
little, developing chick is far more tender 
than a grown person and can not stand 
the sudden and extreme changes of tem- 
perature that you can. Chicks are, in fact, 
among the tenderest of growing things, 
and sudden and extreme changes of tem- 
perature often kill many of them outright, 
and those that are so strong that they live 
through. such treatment will be greatly 
weakened and their chance of making 
strong, healthy birds greatly reduced. 
Don’t say that you can not afford such 
a room; that is not the point; the point 
is, Can you afford to do without it? If 
you have no cellar, dugout or suitable 
room, and have not sufficient means with 
which to build one, if your time is not all 
taken up you can dig a hole in the ground
