Location of Incubator Rooms 
(Continued from page 82S) 
ficially. When this condition is found, it 
is, of course, to be much preferred. On 
the other hand, a few cellars have very 
little natural moisture, although there 
are seldom any cellars in which there is 
uot some moisture of this kind. The surface 
room for incubation very seldom pro¬ 
vides natural moisture, and where it is 
found, occasionally it is to such a small 
amount that it is hardly worth while tak¬ 
ing into consideration. Practically all 
the moisture "tuler these conditions must 
supplied by artificial means. Here 
again there is no doubt that the incubator 
cellar is to be preferred for the moisture 
factor. 
Cellar Ventilation. —Incubator cel¬ 
lars are ofteu criticized because of faulty 
ventilation. Theoretically, the carbon 
dioxide gas given off by the eggs, and 
especially by kerosene lamps where they 
are used, being heavier than the air, set¬ 
tles to the bottom of the cellar, thereby 
making it difficult properly to ventilate a 
cellar of this kind. Although there is a 
certain amount of carbon dioxide given off 
by the eggs, and some also by kerosene 
lamps, the amount is so small in compari¬ 
son to the total air capacity of the cellar 
that the increased temperature of this so- 
called used air, which makes it lighter, 
causing it to rise, will more than offset 
the increased weight of the carbon diox¬ 
ide, thereby not making it at all difficult 
to ventilate the cellar by making these 
gases or used air come from the floor and 
go out of the ventilators or windows 
which are provided near the top of the 
cellar. The ventilation, of course, can 
be provided in the surface incubator room 
without much, perhaps with less trouble 
than is sometimes experienced in the 
cellar ventilation, although the difference 
here is very slight. 
.Tarring Obviated. —If there is any 
truth in the fact that a constant vibra¬ 
tion or jarring affects the eggs while they 
are developing in the incubator, then 
surely the cellar will be affected a great 
deal less by this factor than will the sur¬ 
face incubator room. Although, as stated 
above, the effects of this vibration have 
never specifically been demonstrated, still, 
when you have no definite proof that this 
factor is not effective, it should, in many 
cases at least, be taken into considera¬ 
tion. 
Construction Cost. —The cost of con¬ 
struction under average conditions is no 
greater, or not so great, when an incu¬ 
bator cellar is built, as a rough, ordinary 
six-inch concrete wall, or stone wall, will 
be sufficient, whereas not only should a 
foundation be built, but the walls, as 
pointed out previously, in the surface in¬ 
cubator room must be insulated in such 
a way as to prevent varying temperatures 
as far as possible. This is usually done 
by double walls, with wood, heavy con¬ 
crete walls or hollow tile, or hollow block 
concrete. All of these constructions, of 
course, are expensive. Another factor 
which, in most cases, enters into this cost 
of construction, is the fact that over 
most incubator cellars one usually finds 
it feedroom or storeroom, and in some 
cases brooder-houses, thereby not only 
providing insulation on the ceiling, but 
giving the poultrymau the opportunity of 
having two buildings with only the cost of 
one roof, and one foundation. It also 
enables the poultrymau, in many'cases, 
to out down iiis labor materially. To get 
the double house used in the surface in¬ 
cubator room, one is obliged to build high, 
which is always costly. 
Convenience of Management. —The 
sixth point, viz., the convenience to the 
operator, is perhaps favorable to the sur¬ 
face incubator room when only the factor 
of going up and down in the cellar is 
taken into consideration, but when one 
considers the additional work necessary 
to regulate temperature both >n the room 
and incubator, to provide sufficient mois¬ 
ture, and when one considers the usual 
dual purpose through which an incubator 
cellar is put, by having a feedhouse, 
storehouse or brooder-liouse over it. this 
convenience in favor of the surface incu¬ 
bator room is more than offset. 
Cellar Preferred. —In conclusion, 
taking into consideration the six impor¬ 
tant factors which enter into the construc¬ 
tion of tin incubator cellar as mentioned 
in the previous paragraph, the incubator 
cellar has the preference in the three most 
important, viz., an advantage in constant 
temperature ; additional and natural mois¬ 
ture. and cost of construction. The incu¬ 
bator cellar is also better because of its 
solid foundation, eliminating the vibra¬ 
tion which may be harmful to hatches. 
The convenience to the operator is about 
the same or even in favor of the incubator 
cellar, while the only factor which would 
he of advantage in the surface incubator 
room would be the question of ventilation, 
and often it is doubtful whether even this 
slight advantage is always realized. 
There are some incubators being success¬ 
fully run in surface incubator rooms, but 
it must not be forgotten that equally good 
results or better can be found in the in¬ 
cubator cellar at less work, cost, etc., 
while there seems to be no reason why a 
surface incubator room would not be sat¬ 
isfactory if properly built and taken care 
of. Still, there are no advantages in this 
type of an incubator room over the cellar. 
The incubator cellars are almost univer¬ 
sally used, and these new ideas of building 
surface incubator rooms I believe are soon 
to be discarded, and rightfully so.
