Care For the Hatching Egg 
(Continued from page 277) 
harm as to wash the eggs. I do not know 
about incubators, as I have none, but I do 
know I shipped eggs to a party last year. 
When I was getting a satisfactory hatch 
with hens, this party hired her eggs 
incubated and the person who ran the 
machine said none of the eggs were any 
good. Now where was the trouble? 
Were the eggs incubated before they were 
settled or what w;as the trouble? Of 
course, I suppose they thought I would 
take the blame. But I did not. The 
eggs reached the customer in perfect con¬ 
dition and my own from the same matings 
were hatching, so I w r as not at all troubled. 
But wdien people learn to take as good 
care of the hatching eggs they buy as the 
breeder w 7 ho produces them does, they 
will get better hatches of livable chicks.— 
Mrs. C. J. Dostater, N. Y. 
A Cheese Box for a Brooder 
L AST year I wanted early chicks but 
I was sorely pressed for money to 
buy the necessary equipment. I managed 
to get an incubator but I could not get 
enough money together to buy a brooder. 
As I wanted early chicks, a brooder was 
absolutely necessary. I secured some old 
cheese boxes, cut a hole in the covers. 
I placed a small oil lamp in the box, letting 
the chimney stick through the hole in the 
cover. This home-made brooder worked 
fine until the chicks got too large for it. 
Then I used a tin wash-tub in the same 
manner. 
When we needed mash hoppers, more 
cheese hoppers were brought into use. 
We cut several holes in the boxes just 
large enough for the birds to eat through 
but not large enough to allow them to get 
in the box. They made fine hoppers.— 
Mrs. E. M. C., New York. 
Editor's Note.—The idea <?f using cheese boxes 
Cor brooders is very ingenious. However, precau¬ 
tions should be taken to avoid fire. The edge of the 
hole in the cover should be protected from the 
chimney to avoid possible serious consequences. 
Possibly a piece of tin could be used to good ad¬ 
vantage as a protection. There should be addi¬ 
tional protection furnished inside the brooder. 
A wire screen, well secured, should be placed 
around the lamp to avoid crowding against it on 
the part of the chicks. One of the advantages of 
purchased equipment is that in the better ma¬ 
chines these factors are taken care of. However, 
when it is a case of finances, the home-made 
brooder can often be made to function very well. 
Necessity is the mother of invention. 
Which Shall It Be — Eggs or 
Chicks? 
H ATCHING eggs or baby chicks— 
it all depends on three things, 
namely, whether a person has a good 
incubator, has good luck hatching and 
time to look after it right; if he has good 
stock from which to obtain good hatching 
eggs or can buy good eggs from some 
reliable breed; or can obtain good high 
grade chicks, pure bred from a reliable 
hatchery. 
In buying hatching eggs a person 
should buy from a reliable breeder who 
is not afraid to show his stock and guar¬ 
antees them, giving a bank or other re¬ 
liable reference. So many people think 
that just because they have pure bred 
birds they are ready to sell hatching eggs 
and chicks. Pure bred is only the first 
step. Breeding stock should be pure 
bred with plenty of vigor, good type for 
breed represented, good size, good color, 
and bred for egg production. 
To obtain the best results the best birds 
qf the flock should be selected each year 
and mated to the best male birds that 
you can get. If they have a pedigree 
that is much better. They may cost 
more but are the cheapest in the long run.
