would leave the house only 12 ft. wide. 
My idea is to make it a 16-ft. house, 
open front, on the east side, same style 
as the Maine Experiment Station un¬ 
equal span. To do this I would have to 
run it over on the back 4 ft. on piers. 
IIow would the cellar windows go if 
they were put in all right on the front 
side, which would be the east, and then 
on the other side of the cellar put them 
north and south? f. h. r. 
New Hampshire. 
The only object in having windows 
upon both sides of an incubator cellar is 
to secure more efficient ventilation. Un¬ 
less a large number of machines are run 
in a small space, however, the matter of 
ventilation will give little trouble, and 
your plan is all right. In all probability 
you would have no trouble if you placed 
windows upon one side only. M. B. D.

Philadelphia Markets 
We have been having trouble with 
hatching eggs. All eggs from one place, 
test up fairly well the first week, but we 
have tested again on the fourteenth day 
and found over 50 per cent dead, and if 
left in the incubator fail to hatch. The 
seller claims that when eggs from the 
same lot were set under hens they all 
hatched. We had other eggs in the ma¬ 
chine at same time and they of course 
had the same heat and care, and hatched 
over 75 per cent. Why do not those eggs 
hatch the same as the others? The first 
test is about the same. We have raised 
poultry by hen and machine for over 25 
years and know how to run any make of 
incubator, and have handled all kinds of 
birds. b. c. F. 
New York. 
There are so many factors involved in 
hatehability of eggs that it is impossible 
for one to say, without very definite 
knowledge of all the circumstances in¬ 
volved. why any particular lot of eggs 
did not hatch. Eggs may be fertile and 
vet not contain germs of sufficient vigor to 
carry them clear through the hatching 
process alive. This lack of vigor, in turn, 
may be due to a great variety of causes. 
Eggs. too. that might hatch under favor¬ 
able conditions of incubation might fail 
under less favorable ones. Many eggs 
that would hatch if incubated within a 
few days of their having been laid would 
not hatch if held for a few days longer. 
Even leaving eggs in one position too long 
before incubating will destroy their hatch- 
ability. as will keeping them under unfa¬ 
vorable conditions as to heat and mois¬ 
ture. Two weeks, even when properly 
kept, is about the limit of time allowable 
for holding eggs, and that is too long to 
hold them. Eggs not turned while being 
held will permit the germ to “settle.” ac¬ 
tually, to float and stick to the egg mem¬ 
branes. Eggs kept at too high a temper¬ 
ature, above 00, will lose in the vitality 
of their germs. Too low a temperature, 
below 40. will have the same detrimental 
effect. To say nothing of the multitude 
of conditions affecting the breeding stock, 
you will see that it is impossible, off¬ 
hand, for anyone to say why these eggs 
did not hatch, even granting that the 
hatching process was conducted absolutely 
without fault. m. b. d. 
Big Wings 
I have a flock of 1.000 three-weeks-old 
8. C. W. Leghorn chicks. They are in 
good healthy condition except for the fact 
that their wings seem to grow faster than 
the rest of the body. What is the cause 
and remedy? I am feeding a commercial 
chick grain and milk mash, to which I 
add a little bran and bonemeal, with milk 
to drink. u. K.

Ventilation of Incubator Cellar 
I have a cellar 30x12. running north 
and south. I wish to build au incuba¬ 
tor cellar, and make a laying house 
for hens over the incubator cellar. All 
the plans of incubator cellars that I have 
seen tell one to put windows on both 
sides about 10 feet apart. If I build it 
that way so as to have the windows come 
exactly right I would have to build it 
flush with the incubator cellar, which 
If these chicks are in good, healthy con¬ 
dition. you do not need to worry over the 
rate of growth of their wings. The wings 
of Leghorn chicks sprout rapidly and 
grow with remarkable rapidity, due, I 
presume, to the fact that, in the wild 
state, wings were about the first things 
needed by fowls. Long, drooping wings, 
which chicks have not strength enough to 
keep up in place are an evidence of lack 
of vitality which may be due to a multi¬ 
tude of causes. It is not the length of 
the wing which is at fault, however, but 
lack of vigor on the part of the body sup¬ 
porting the wings. This may be the result 
of disease or of improper feeding, brood¬ 
ing. etc. Your chicks should have some 
meat food in addition to their whole and 
ground grains, even though they are fed 
milk. If they have an ample supply of 
milk, the amount of beef scrap ordinarily 
feed can be much reduced, but it should 
not be cut out altogether. m. b. d.
