OF INTEREST TO 
ALL DAIRYMEN 
i 
One of the most common and 
expensive mistakes dairymen make 
is in shutting off grain feeds as soon as 
cows are on pasture. 
This is sure to result in reduced 
v- ff milk production, because spring pas¬ 
ture, however abundant, does not contain suffi¬ 
cient nutrients to enable cows to keep up maxi¬ 
mum milkproduction without sapping their vitality. 
SCHUMACHER FEED

BKTCTDAIEY RATION 
fed generously while yourcows are 
on pasture, supply the necessary body¬ 
building qualities that pasture alone 
lacks — they will bring you $2 in re¬ 
turn for each $1 invested in feed. 
Don’t make the mistake of 
shutting off grain feeds because 
your cows are on pasture — it’s too 
expensive. Let SCHUMACHER

cows up to maxi¬ 
mum production 
the whole season 
through.

Location of Incubator Rooms 
Securing Even Temperature. —Of 
late much is being said about building in¬ 
cubator rooms above the ground as a step 
ahead of the incubator cellars as almost 
universally used heretofore. First, the 
matter of temperature. In an article 
recently published in this paper, the im¬ 
portance of correct and even tempera¬ 
tures was discussed. There is 110 one fac¬ 
tor which is more effective in causing poor 
hatches from good eggs than irregular 
temperature. Especially is this true of 
high temperatures. One has only to ex¬ 
amine the construction of any good make 
of incubator to be convinced that these 
•manufacturers have this very important 
point in mind, as every one of these ma¬ 
chines is thoroughly insulated, even to 
the double glass in the doors. This extra 
cost of construction would not be resorted 
to were not these manufacturers con¬ 
vinced that correct and even temperatures 
were of paramount importance. The op¬ 
erating directions which usually accom¬ 
pany these machines are also mainly con¬ 
cerned with the matter of temperature. 
The second factor in importance in plan¬ 
ning incubator rooms is the question of 
moisture. We supply moisture in order 
to have an atmosphere for incubation in 
which the air is not dry, because a warm 
circulating air is very thirsty and is 
harmful to incubation by drawing the 
water from the egg. Although often be¬ 
lieved to be the cause of poor hatches, it 
is very doubtful if the air is ever too 
moist for proper incubation. The poor 
hatches in such cases are very often due 
to irregular temperatures which arc 
brought about by supplying an abundance 
of moisture inside the incubator without 
adjusting temperature regulators accord¬ 
ingly. It is pretty safe to say that in¬ 
cubator rooms with too much moisture 
are almost impossible, or at least very 
few and far between, whereas on tho 
other hand, too dry incubator rooms are 
very common. 
Ventilation and Vibration. —Ventil¬ 
ation, in regard to amount and kind, 
seems to be more or less of an unknown 
factor, as extremely good hatches have 
been realized in rooms where there was 
practically no ventilation, and where the 
ventilation has been extremely poor. 
Equally good hatches have been obtained 
in rooms with an adequate and constant 
ventilation system. It seems, however, 
that a goodly amount of ventilation is 
good, being consistent with even tempera¬ 
tures and plentiful moisture. Vibration, 
or constant jarring, is a more or less 
harmful condition for incubation, although 
this has only slightly and partially been 
demonstrated; nevertheless it has not 
been disproven and should be considered. 
Important Factors. —The cost of con¬ 
struction and the convenience of operation 
are secondary factors, but must be con¬ 
sidered, especially the matter of cost. 
Briefly summarized, then, the important 
factors which are involved in incubator 
rooms are:- 1. Constant temperatures. 2. 
Moisture. 3. Ventilation. 4. Solid and 
rigid foundation. 5. Cost of construction. 
G. Convenience to operator. 
Cellar or Surface. —Let us now com¬ 
pare the incubator cellar and the surface 
incubator room, taking those factors into 
consideration. A cellar with the wall 
two-thirds or three-quarters under the 
ground surely cannot be equaled by the 
best sort of a constructed wall on the 
surface for evenness of temperature. An 
ordinary six-inch concrete wall is suffi¬ 
cient to retain the earth, and will serve 
well as a wall in a cellar. In ;i surface 
house, if one wishes only to make a pre¬ 
tense at maintaining a uniform tempera¬ 
ture. he is obliged to build some sort of an 
insulated wall which, of course, runs into 
money. Even with the best constructed 
wall one cannot expect the evenness of 
temperature in this surface room as can 
be obtained in a cellar, especially in 
early and late hatches. The extreme cold 
in early hatches can bo overcome by aux¬ 
iliary heat on walls, etc., but this means 
installation and operating expenses., and 
is not the best kind of condition for incu¬ 
bation. The extreme warm weather often 
realized in late hatches, however, cannot 
be so easily counteracted, because if too 
much ventilation is provided, one runs 
into the moisture question and drafts. 
These variations in room temperatures 
make it extremely difficult properly, to 
regulate the temperature in the machine. 
Certainly this important factor of tem¬ 
perature hiis a great advantage in the 
incubator cellar over the surface incu¬ 
bator room. 
Moisture. —Second, the question of 
moisture is usually very easily taken care 
of in the cellar, as there is, almost in 
every case, a great deal of natural mois¬ 
ture! This may vary, of course, and in 
some cellars there is sufficient so that it 
is not necessary to provide moisture arti-
