THE  HEN YARD 
incubator  Temperature 
I  have  about  65  old  and  young  pullets, 
which  have  been  averaging  40  eggs  per 
day  for  the  last  12  weeks.  They  are  W. 
S.  C.  Leghorns,  the  kind  that  produces 
the  nice  white  eggs.  I  hatch  with  ma¬ 
chines  and  have  been  trying  a  new  way 
which  I  think  will  work  ail  right.  In¬ 
stead  of  103  degrees,  I  only  go  as  high  as 
100,  and  find  no  crippled  chicks.  I  tried 
one  old  hen  and  found  that  the  highest 
she  registered  was  90,  and  she  hatched  all 
but  one,  nice  chicks,  so  I  tried  same  in 
the  machine,  and  they  hatched  out  well, 
with  no  cripples  among  them.  b.  f.  g. 
All  sorts  of  variations  in  incubator 
temperatures  have  been  tried,  and  it 
has  been  found  that  a  thermometer  read¬ 
ing  of  about  103  is  best.  The  tempera¬ 
ture  of  the  eggs  beneath  a  hanging  there- 
mometer  is  not  as  high  by  from  one  to 
two  degrees  as  the  reading  of  the  ther¬ 
mometer  would  indicate.  This  is  due  to 
the  fact  that  the  upper  part  of  the  hatch¬ 
ing  chamber  is  warmer  than  the  lower 
part,  and  the  higher  the  thermometer 
hangs  in  the  hatching  chamber  the  higher 
it  registers.  Makers  of  the  machines 
take  these  variations  into  account,  how¬ 
ever,  and  it  will  usually  be  found  best  to 
follow  their  directions.  If  you  have  had 
good  hatches  with  a  hanging  thermometer 
registering  but  100,  you  must  have  had 
exceptionaly  vigorous  egg  germs  or  an 
incorrectly  reading,  or  incorrectly  read, 
thermometer.  You  can  vary  the  appar¬ 
ent  reading  of  a  thermometer  by  the  po¬ 
sition  you  take  in  front  of  it.  Observe 
it  from  a  point  directly  in  front.  If  you 
read  from  either  the  extreme  right  or 
the  extreme  left,  you  will  get  an  incor¬ 
rect  reading.  M.  B.  D. 
Restaurant  Refuse  for  Poultry;  Square 
Henhouse 
1.  Is  it  practicable  to  use  the  refuse 
from  the  tables  of  a  restaurant  as  feed 
for  poultry?  I  should  say  roughly  that 
this  would  consist  of  a  mixture  of  soup, 
pieces  of  bread  and  fritters,  the  fat  edges 
from  slices  of  meat,  some  bones,  as  from 
chicken  and  steak,  chicken  stuffing,  po¬ 
tatoes,  boiled  and  fried,  pieces  of  pie  and 
cake,  lettuce  leaves,  etc.  If  so,-  should  it 
be  ground  up  fine,  and  how  much  should 
be  fed  daily  to  flock  of  100?  How  about 
feeding  it  to  geese  and  ducks?  2.  I  no¬ 
tice  many  writers  say  that  the  square 
house  is  going  to  be  the  house  of  the 
future.  I  understand  perfectly  the  sav¬ 
ing  in  walls.  Say  a  house  65  ft.  square 
for  1.000  hens,  with  an  8-ft.  ceiling,  win¬ 
dows  on  three  sides.  Would  the  sun 
reach  into  this  house  sufficiently  to  make 
it  a  healthy  house?  If  built  on  a  south 
slope,  could  it  be  built  two  stories  high, 
lower  floor  birds  to  exit  on  south  side, 
upper  floor  on  north  side?  Are  there 
any  serious  objections  to  such  a  two- 
story  house?  I  have  plenty  of  land  and 
would  have  two  very  large  runs  for  each 
floor,  to  be  used  alternate  years.  c.  8. 
1.  My  understanding  of  the  danger  in 
using  table  refuse  from  hotels  is  that  it 
lies  chiefly  in  the  possibility  of  unknow¬ 
ingly  giving  spoiled  bits  of  meat  and 
other  unwholesome  food  to  the  flock.  The 
composition  of  these  wastes  would  vary 
widely,  too,  there  being  at  times  an  ex¬ 
cess  of  meat,  and  at  other  times  of  some 
other  ingredient.  This  would  make  it 
difficult  to  lay  down  any  rules  as  to  the 
amounts  to  be  fed.  If  used  to  any  great 
extent,  it  seems  to  me  that  it  should  be 
fed  without  further  grinding  and  after  a 
somewhat  close  inspection  ;  perhaps  also 
after  some  sorting. 
2.  I  see  nothing  to  be  gained  by  build¬ 
ing  a  very  large  poultry-house  in  square 
form,  except  the  savinsr  in  materials  for 
the  walls.  The  sun  would  not  reach  the 
rear  of  a  building  65  ft.  deep  from  the 
front,  though  windows  upon  the  east  and 
west  sides  would  partly  overcome  this 
disadvantage.  A  saw-tooth  roof,  with 
glass,  would  help  still  more,  hut  the  extra 
cost  of  glass  and  labor  would  probably 
more  than  counterbalance  any  saving  in 
walls.  I  know  of  two-storv  poultry- 
houses  that  are  satisfactory  in  use,  and 
I  do  not  know  why  they  have  not  become 
more  popular.  If  there  are  any  very  seri¬ 
ous  drawbacks  to  such  buildings,  located 
as  you  suggest.  I  do  not  know  what  they 
are.  M.  b.  d. 
Inoculating  Poultry  Against  Disease 
fan  you  give  me  any  information  about 
vaccinating  chickens  as  a  preventive 
against  chickenpox  and  roup?  W.  o.  A. 
Fowls  are  vaccinated  against  roup  and 
chickenpox  by  means  of  a  fluid  contain¬ 
ing  what  are  called  mixed  baeterins. 
This  fluid  is  injected  beneath  the  skin 
from  a  hypodermic  syringe  of  large  size, 
and  three  injections  at  intervals  of  sev¬ 
eral  days  are  recommended.  As  to  the 
results,  they  cannot  now  he  said  to  be 
certain.  Some  reports  from  the  use  of 
the  vaccines  are  enthusiastic,  others  re¬ 
count  failures.  The  fact  seems  to  he  that 
the  method  has  not  been  sufficiently  long 
in  use  to  fully  demonstrate  its  value. 
It  is  certainly  promising,  and  in  ease  of 
a  had  outbreak  of  roup  and  chickenpox 
offers  more  hope,  perhaps,  tfian  any  other 
method  of  treatment  that  has  been  found 
practicable.  Vaccination  should  he  con¬ 
sidered  a  preventive  rather  than  a  eure, 
however,  and  should  be  administered  to 
fowls  that  have  been  exposed  to  thesF 
diseases  and  for  which  fears  of  serious 
infection  are  entertained.  m,  b.  p.
