THE HENYARD 
Turkey and Duck Eggs in Incubator 
How can I hatch turkc.v and duck egg.s 
with an incubatorV What is the last day 
of tui'uing egg and culling them? F. B. 
New York. 
Turkey egg.s may be hatched in an in¬ 
cubator, hnt under ordinary conditions 
the natural method is found more satis¬ 
factory. I )iick -egg.s are liatched almost 
ontireiy in incubators, and the system of 
hatching is nearly the same as that prac¬ 
ticed with hens’ eggs, except that the 
temfieratiire of the machine is slightly 
lower, and more moisture is used in the 
imu’hine. .Tiist before duck eggs and tur¬ 
key eggs begin to jiip a cloth should he 
placed on the eggs, after wetting it with 
hot water at a temperature of about 150 
degrees F. After placing the wet cloth 
over the eggs close the machine for about 
1.5 minutes, and then remove the cloth 
and do not oi>en the machine again until 
the hatc’h is completed. Miin.v liens’ eggs 
are ruined every year by lack of moisture 
while in the incubator. This year we 
hiive adopted the plan of siirinkling the 
floor under the maohines with hot water 
every evening during the hatch. The 
vajior rises from this hot water and seems 
to have a better effect on the eggs which 
are in the machine than sprinkling with 
cold water. 
The eggs are cooled the last time on 
the eighteenth day. and tiirni'd twice a 
day from tlie second day until they begin 
to pip. c. S. G. 
Hens With Liver Trouble 
I have had an unusual amount of 
trouble in my flock of yearling Leghorns, 
Avith liver troiilile. '^I'hey are closely con¬ 
fined, and fed standard rations for heavy 
egg production. (’an you recommend 
something that can he fed in mash or 
drinking water, that will tend to contnd 
this’/ ,r. w. c. 
Massachiisefts. 
I know of nothing that can* he fed to 
overcome the effects of close confinement 
and heavy feeding for egg prfKluction. In 
the very nature of things the cause of any 
difficulty must be removed before any 
remedy can become effective. A physic, 
.such as Epsom salts, in half teaspoonfiil 
or greater dose per hen, administered in 
moist mash at regular intervals might 
postpone the evil effects of heavy feeding 
and would he a rational procedure, hut it 
could be considered only a palliative at 
best. M. 11 . 1 ). 
Weak Chicks 
Could you tell me the cau.se of my 
chickens dying in the shell’? They were 
fully developed and would just be able to 
knock a hole in the shell, hut did not 
seem to possess enough vitality to break 
through tho shell. The incubator was 
run in a very dry place. We always jiick 
out the nicest and freshest eggs for hatch¬ 
ing purposes. I also put a hasiu of xvater 
in the bottom of the machine so as to 
furnish plenty of moisture, as some iieo- 
ple tell me this is recpiired iu an incu¬ 
bator. Is this true? Which is the better 
place to run an incubator, in quite a 
damp cellar, or an oiithuilding, double 
hoarded with good concrete fkwr? K, c. 
New York. 
T know of no reason for the failure of 
so many fully cleveloiied chicks to emerge 
from their shells save that these chicks 
have not .sufficient vigor to complete their 
diwelopmeut and emergence under the dis¬ 
advantage of artifioial methods of hatch¬ 
ing. Any conditions detrimental to the 
hatch as a whole during its progress 
Avoiild, of course, increa.se the number of 
these failures. An incubator should ho 
run in a moist place and a cellar is 
usually preferable to an outbuilding. If 
no provision is made within the macliiue 
itself for moisture trays, the Hoor of the 
room should be kept constantly sprinkled 
with water in order to saturate the at¬ 
mosphere of the room, 5i. b. d. 
Brooder Stove; Ready-mixed Chick Food 
1. I wish to build brooder house 1‘JxlH, 
divided into two parts. Whicdi of the 
many brooder stoves would you advise? 
2. Oiir feed problems are very difficult 
just at pri'sent, ns so often we are unable 
to get certain kinds of feed. AVoiild yon 
.suggest sorts of ready mixed feed for little 
chicks? N. r. I’. 
IVnnsylvania. 
1. Then' are so many good brooder 
stoves on the market that one could hardly 
specify any jiarticnlar make as the best. 
A good brooder stove should have an au¬ 
tomatic device for regulating the draft in 
high winds and be substantially built. 
2. It is not at all nece.ssary to luirchase 
ready mixed feeds for little chicks, iinle.ss 
one iirefers to do so. An excellent hard 
grain mixture may be made from finely 
cracked corn, pinhead oatmeal, and 
cracked wheat, using one part of the oat¬ 
meal, two part.s of cracked corn and three 
liarts of cracked wheat. After a few 
weeks the wheat need not be cracked and 
coarser cracked t'oru may be u.sed. 
Fracked corn alone may be used or either 
of the other ingredients omitted, but the 
thn'e together make an admirable mix¬ 
ture. M. U. 1).

SPECIAL NOTICE 
We believe every advertiser in our Poultry 
Department is honest and reliable. We stand 
back of these classified advertisements with our 
‘‘Square Deni Guarantee,” as we do the display 
advertisements. Those .purchasing eggs for 
hatching and baby chicks must understand that 
they are assuming some risk when ordering from 
a distance. For the most part eggs and chicks 
carry safely, but sometimes rough handling by 
the express companies or exposure to heat and 
cold causes (Tamage. That eggs fail to hatch or 
chicks die is not conclusive evidence of bad 
faith on the part of the seller, and we shall not 
consider claims on that basis. To avoid contro¬ 
versy buyer and seller should ha'-e a definite un¬ 
derstanding as to the responsibility assumed iu 
case of dissatisfaction.
