For many years after Incubators came Into general practice they were not used for the hatching of geese, but they have gradually come Into use where geese are raised in large numbers. The general requirements for successful Incubation of hens eggs are needed in hatching geese eggs. In addition the majority of operators believe that they require more drying out In the early part of the hatch and more cooling than hens eggs. s Receiver Which Has Selectivity, Diagram of Volume and Lack of Radiation Advantages.

Or, tie the coils nt the Intersection with stout thread. For Selectivity. Coils LI and L2 are mounted on the baseboard parallel to each other, and four indies apart. The bottom of each coil is set within two fiber strips, which are held together by a screw. The screw also holds the coil and strips to the baseboard. Coil L3 is the tickler and Is controlled by a shaft arrangement. The shaft and knob should be set very low on the panel, so that the coil L3 mny be tied firmly to it so as to give It freedom of vibration with coil L2. It should be about an Inch from L3. To keep the shaft from moving in and out, have a hole bored through it at the inside of the panel and put a pin through it. This and the dial will hold the shaft in place. The bushing for the shaft, in the panel, mny be the kind used for jacks, and the shaft of a diameter to fit it closely. Test Connections. Both tubes for this set should be of the.201-type. The B battery should have a voltage of 90 volts and the C battery 4',fe volts. In trying out the set, change the lends on the tickler, L3, to see which side gives best results. Also reverse leads to the C battery for a similar test. Above all, be sure that you have the shortest possible leads to all connections. Also that the coils LI and L2 nre four Inches apart.

Required Temperature. The temperature required does not need to be so high but no change needs to be made in this regard if the eggs are given more cooling. During the last part of the hatch it is generally necessary to supply moisture. Some advocate dipping the eggs, others sprinkling and others supplying the moisture to the machine. One of the main reasons for the need of additional moisture at that time is so that the shell and membranes will not stick to the gosling when It Is trying to get out of the shell. Some adjustments will need to be made in the thermometer as the thickness of the geese eggs will place them higher in the incubator and therefor in a slightly higher temperature unless an allowance is made for It An Inch In height will usually make a difference of a degree In the temperature. Hatch Slow Under Hens. Goslings will hatch out slower under hens or in an Incubator than under geese. However, where attention Is paid to proper cooling of the eggs and a proper supply of moisture, there should be no trouble in getting a successful hatch. The beginner will sometimes become uneasy over this delay In getting out of the shell and attempt to help the goslings. This should not be done except in occasional cases where one or more goslings are much later than the others In hatching. Even then extreme care should be taken in removing the shell bit by bit and stopping at the least indication of bleeding. Usually the bird that cannot get out of the shell Is not worth saving and If the goslings are given plenty of time and are supplied with moisture so that the material of the shell will not stick to the body, the big majority will come out successfully. B. One Breed Is as Susceptible as Another. (Prepared by the United Statea Department of Agriculture.) There Is no relation between tbs breeding of cattle and their suscepOne breed la tibility to tuberculosis. as susceptible as another, and grades are as likely to become Infected as pure breds. These are conclnslons of veterinary specialists of the bureau of animal Industry, United States Department of Agriculture, based on several years' In experience eradicating bovine In support of the contuberculosis. clusion the bureau veterinarians have compiled a large number of statistics arranged according to the various breeds and whether the animals are pure breds or grades. From July 1, 1921, to April 1, 1924. tuberculin tests were applied to 1,424,-30pure bred cattle, of which 4.7 per cent were found to he tuberculous. During the same period 4,450,439 grade cattle were subjected to the test, of which 4.8 per cent reacted. Among the pure bred and grade cattle representing the various breeds the federal specialists have been able to find no evidence tbat any breed Is more susceptible or re.3lstant than any other. These conclusions apply to large groups representing conditions for the entire country. It Is well known that certain localities have more Infection than others, but tbe management of cattle, extent of buying and selling without paying proper attention to health, the control of sanitary conditions, and the Individual resistance of the animals appear to be the principal factors that determine the degree of Infection. Breeding apparently has nothing to do with the extent of tuberculosis. 2 Set Strawberries Early in Spring Is Best Plan As a rule It Is best to set out strawberry plants In the spring quite early, and give them good care throughout the season They give their maximum crop of fruit the second season after planting, though they will give more or less fruit for several years: but after the first crop, the berries are likely to be small. In the fall after the ground Is about ready to freeze a mulching of bean straw, clover hay or some other kind of straw should he applied, to give some protection during the winter and keep the fruit clean at bearing time.

Farm hens are often given a whole carcass to feed In one month and no meat the next. As a result they are thrown out of condition and often are poisoned by spoiled meat. There are three ways In which animal protein can be secured. A steady supply Is essential. Rabbits or dead farm animals when available can be cooked and ground or chopped up, dried nnd put in a box where hens can eat when they want. Skim milk or buttermilk can be put to no more profitable use on the farm than, in producing winter eggs. Where a box of meat or a supply of milk are available all of the time. It may not be necessary to put meat scraps In the mash, but If there Is a shortage of these It will pay to buy meat scraps.
