usually attached by two bits of wire. 
Place the bulb sunder the tongue vat 
the side of the mouth and hold it un- 
til the mercury column does not rise any 
higher. By observing with a mirror it will 
then be possible to determine quite accu- 
rately how much in error the marking 
on the scale may be, and due allowance 
for this can then be made by assuming that 
the same error is present at the 104-degree 
mark, which is the temperature of incuba- 
tion. 
PLAN VIEW WITH COVER REMOVED 
The machine must be run a few days be- 
fore any eggs are put in, to give time for 
carefully adjusting the thermostat. When 
the latter is once set right it will automat- 
ically maintain the heat at the desired point 
by “winking” the lamps on and off. With 
all eight lamps in use, the apparatus as 
described is capable of maintaining a tem- 
perature of 104 degree in the egg chamber 
when the room temperature is only 40 de- 
grees. If used in a warmer room, one pair 
of the lamps in the lower compartment may 
be turned off by means of the snap switch. 
Kach pair of 230-volt 16-candle-power 
carbon lamps, connected in series as shown, 
will, when used on a 110-volt circuit, burn 
with a dull red glow scarcely visible in day- 
light, and with a power consumption of 
5'2 watts. <A fifty-egg machine operated 
in a room where the temperature is 65 de- 
gress consumes about 16 watts, making a 
total for 22 days of about 8 kilowatt hours, 
which, where the rate is 10 cents, costs 
80 cents. This cost looks high at -first 
sight, but it is materially lower than that

of depreciation and repair bills, and the 
saving in labor of attendance. 
In the practical operation of the incu- 
bator, the following points should be borne 
in mind: 
The eggs need to be turned partly over 
every day. A good way to do this is to 
take out the row of five eggs at the left- 
hand end, roll the remaining ones toward 
the left, and replace the five at the right- 
hand end. This progressive movement 
serves also to even up the different times 
of hatching that might result from some
