Cleaning Incubator 
Having bought a second-hand incu¬ 
bator, I found on getting it home that, it 
smells very musty, and would like to dis¬ 
infect it, using formaldehyde or corrosive 
sublimate, but do not. know just bow to 
go at it. It is ini my cellar, b. n. p. 
New York. 
Soap and water, sun and, air, will do 
more for this incubator than fumigation 
can. Open it up as thoroughly as pos¬ 
sible, and scrub the interior out with hot 
soapsuds, removing all dirt. Clean trays 
in the same. way. Then dry it. out, in 
••he open air. The cleaning can, of course, 
bo dome in the cellar, but the outside air 
writ be found superior fn r disinfecting 
purposes. If chemical disinfectants after 
thorough cleaning will make you feel that 
a better job has been done, you can finish 
up with it one .>,0(10 corrosive sublimate 
solution, getting some little tablets from 
your druggist or doctor, one of whieli 
added to five pints of water will make a 
solution of desired strength (remember 
that you are handling a poison). Or, if 
you wish to fumigate after cleaning— 
don’t try to fumigate dirt; it is easier to 
disinfect it with elbow grease—put. sev¬ 
eral tablespoon fills of sulphur upon a tin 
plate in a little heap, set the plate upon 
the floor of your incubator, turu a table¬ 
spoonful of alcohol upon it and touch a 
match to the moistened sulphur. It will 
blaze up an inch or two at first, so don’t 
have any inflammable material immedi¬ 
ately above it. A good, housewifely job 
oL senibbiug will make other disinfection 
unnecessary, however, and I see nothing 
to be gained by fumigating. M. B. r>.

Impaction of Crop 
My hens get a big crop. It grows un¬ 
til it hangs down, almost touching the 
ground. I have lost several from it. I 
think we feed too niueh. but you can’t 
make my man think so. Please tell me 
if you think it is a disease or overfeeding, 
and what can he done. a n k 
New York. 
The crops of liens become enlarged 
through eating indigestible substances, 
like feathers, dead grass, etc., and. if this 
diet is continued, the walls of that organ 
may become paralyzed so that they can¬ 
not contract to natural dimensions again. 
It is quite often possible to empty the 
distended and impacted crop by adminis¬ 
tering a little oil and then gently manipu¬ 
lating the mass from the outside and 
causing it to jiass on or to be regurgitat¬ 
ed. If this is impossible, a short slit 
may be made through the skiu over the 
crops and its contents removed, after 
which the walls of the crop should he 
sewed together by taking several separate 
stitches with sewing silk ami then the 
overlying skin should receive the same 
treatment. After such a surgical opera¬ 
tion the fowl should be kept, bv herself

L *3m having; some trouble in liiitphinp 
chicks. Out of 120 fertile eggs in !m oil 
incubator that has been changed over to 
electric pad heat, 1 got out. -15 chicks, 
and upon examination of the remaining 
eggs I found a big proportion that had a 
cluck that had died at about the time it 
should have hatched. Also some that 
Picked a hole in the shell and died. What 
do you think the trouble could be, low 
vitality or too dry? Would yon advise 
me to buy a moisture meter. f. j. s.

The question why so many chicks reach 
full development within the shell but fail 
to emerge is one that will be asked many 
times within the next few months, and it 
will probably pay to keep this reply 
standing. The correct answer is. no one 
knows. There are probably many rea¬ 
sons. and no one that applies to nil cases. 
Improper methods of incubation will 
doubtless explain some cases, but there 
are others in which every known precau¬ 
tion to have condition* of hatching right 
is observed, and yet a large proportion of 
the chicks never break the shell. My
