Turn surplus Spring eggs into baby 
chicks. Make extra money doing custom 
hatching. One man can handle 48,000 
eggs with a Hall Triple-Deck Incubator. 
Equipped with automatic heat regulator 
in every compartment. Turning Trays 
and every labor-saving device. You can 
start small—1200-egg size if you like— 
and increase as your business grows. 
Hall-hatched chicks win new customers 
and hold old ones. They are long- 
fluffed, plump and heavy-boned—full 
of vim and vigor. 
If you now operate a level-tray mam¬ 
moth incubator—any make—we will 
build Hall Turning Trays to fit They’ll 
increase your capacity and hatches, be¬ 
sides saving greatly in time and labor. 
With them, you can turn every egg on 
an entire deck instantly, accurately and 
safely. Many hatchers have doubled 
their income at small cost by adding 
Hall decks above their old single¬ 
deck machines. You, too, can in¬ 
crease your capacity with your present 
floor space. 
THE HENYARD 
Watery Eggs 
Why do the whites of some eggs get 
watery or thin this time of the year? 
Pennsylvania. w. m. 
Summer eggs are apt to have more 
watery whites than those of other sea¬ 
sons, and are not as suitable for keeping 
in water glass or other preservatives. I 
know of no way to prevent this. M. b. d. 
Growth in Windpipe 
I have had several chickens die with 
gapes; some small ones and some almost 
grown. The small ones die in a few days 
after they get it, but the large ones will 
live for weeks. On examination I find 
the windpipe full of a cheesy substance. 
In the East we used to have them die 
with gapes caused by worms in the wind¬ 
pipe, but this is not like that. Can you 
tell me what it is, and what can I do for 
it? E. L. G. 
Montana. 
This trouble may be suffocation, not 
from worms in the windpipe, but from the 
presence at its entrance or elsewhere of a 
fungus growth derived from musty food, 
moldy litter and like sources. These same 
mold growths are often seen within the 
mouths of affected birds, appearing as 
“cankers”; a circular growth may ob¬ 
struct the entrance to the windpipe and 
be susceptible to removal by the use of a 
spinier of wood with a pledget of cotton 
wound tightly about its end. Where these 
growths can be reached they should be 
painted with tincture of iodine to destroy 
the fungi and their spores. Where they 
involve the deeper parts of the respira¬ 
tory tract, however, there is little that 
can be done save to guard against them 
by cleanliness and disinfection of quarters 
and the use of dry litter free from musti¬ 
ness, and food upon which molds have 
not developed. M. b. d. 
Trouble With Ducklings 
My ducks heads get bare, and their eyes 
get full of pus. Before that they are very 
active, and as soon as the trouble appears 
it does not take very long before they die. 
They are between two and three weeks 
old. I feed them white bread and sour 
milk. They have free range and all the 
grass they can eat. j. s. R. 
Adams Basin, N. Y. 
Rankin says of sore eyes appearing in 
flocks of young ducklings that “This dis¬ 
ease savors of filthy quarters, and yet it 
is not always attributed to that. Im¬ 
proper assimilation of food through want 
of grit and other ingredients will have a 
tedeucy in the same direction. Feed 
sparingly of light food, with plenty of 
grit, and sprinkle a little ginger in their 
food. Remove the birds to clean quar¬ 
ters and a few days will usually effect a 
cure.” The feeding of milk should also 
be discontinued in these cases, according 
to another writer upon the subject. I 
have had no personal experience in feed¬ 
ing ducklings and cannot vouch for the 
accuracy of the above staements. m. b. d. 
Incubator for Extensive 
Hatching 
I am to have a flock of about 150 S. C. 
W. Leghorn yearlings and 300 pullets 
this Winter. I should like to start a 
hatchery in the Spring. I shall need 
some mammoth equipment. IIow large a 
capacity incubator shall I buy? I expect 
to expand my business if I am successful, 
but would rather add another incubator 
in a year or two than to get too big a one 
to start v/ith. Does the forced draft type 
of incubator have any advantage over the 
standard type? h. l. f. 
Union Grove, N. Y. 
Probably your best plan will be to pur¬ 
chase one of the standard makes of incu¬ 
bators that may be added to by sections 
as your requirements grow. There are a 
nurtiber of these upon the market that 
have proven successful in operation, and 
I do not think that you will be disap¬ 
pointed in the purchase of any one of the 
well-known makes. There are so many oth¬ 
er factors concerned in hatching than the 
incubator alone that any machine is apt 
to be condemned at times without just 
cause. While I should not advise “mam¬ 
moth” equipment for a plant of small size, 
the hatcher of cabinet type that you men¬ 
tion is in successful use and is a popular 
one where such machines are needed. So 
far as forced draft is concerned, I see no 
reason for considering it more advan¬ 
tageous than natural draft, save of course 
in hatchers of such size and type as to 
make it a necessary adjunct for success¬ 
ful operation. M. b. d.

PUT IT ON YOURS— 
Your fall work would be a lot easier and more 
profitable all around if you had a McCormick - 
Deering 2 or 3-plow tractor turning the soil and 
doing late summer and fall belt work. 
Now is as good a time as any in the year for 
a man to come into McCormick-Deering tractor 
ownership. Weeks of hard 
work and hot weather have 
been exhausting man and 
horse. Many weeks of trying 
work lie ahead. Labor is scarce 
and high-priced and every 
week’s wages takes money out 
of pocket. Plowing, the slowest, 
most laborious, most expensive 
farm work stares every farmer 
in the face.

With the tractor he plows deeper and better, 
and at the right time; heat and hard ground don’t 
stop him; he saves the moisture and gets ahead 
of weeds. Between-times his tractor tackles the 
corn harvest—runs the binder 
and picker, fills the silo, runs 
shredder orsheller—and then 
it finds all kinds of winter belt 
jobs ahead of next spring’s work. 
Farm product prices have 
taken the upgrade. Better times 
are on the way to the farm. Be 
in position to farm efficiently 
all the year, without yielding 
your profits to surplus labor 
costs. See the dealer about a
