““The best incubator is the one that
hatohes the largest number of strong
ohicks. Some incubators hatch a large
number of ghicks, but they are weak
and hard to raise. After you have se

up, the next thing to do is to place it
level in all directions. Heat it up grad

so kerosene. Operate the machine at

in it. It is good practice to operate the
machine empty until it is fully under the
control of the operator, Place the ma
chine in a room with a uniform tem
perature and plenty of fresh air, without
strong currente of air passing directly
over or close to the machine. A room
with a cement or dirt floar is the best.

temperature to 103 degrees and keep it
there as nearly as possible until the

temperature to run up to 104 or 105 de

Handle eggs with clean hands. Turn

Great Britain Now Owns Largest
.
Line of Futureskver Owned

by Ay Importing Nation.
By JOSEPH F. PRITCHARD.
CHI(?AGO, Jan. 10.—The fact has been
clearly demonstrated of late that all of
the importing nations must continue as
bu&'ers of our cash and futures wheat.
reat Britain now owns the largest
lne of wheat futures ever owned by anyl
lmportin‘g countrg. and it is also a big |
holder of the cash’ article, Many of the
countries at peace are badly in need of
breadstuffs and all warring nations are
:lm;rt of grain, flour and other commodi
es,
l
The breadstuffs must come fro the
United States ve?' largely and theni\old- l
ers of grain and flour in this country are ‘
willing to :woop their bins in order to
Secure these satisfactory prices, as well
as to feed humanity across the waters.
It is only a question of time, however,
before values will reach higher levels, as
the grain Inhthe United States and Can
ada—with the poulbl? exception of corn
and oats--has been fairly well cleaned
up. Of course, Canada has no corn to
sell, but its stocks of oats are large,
but these are sald to be greatly reduced
wl% available tonnn.fge on the ocean.
e movement of wheat to prlmugy
m%rkets continues to show a falling off,
re octln{ the claim I made months
ago that the larger part of the l}vhnt
l& the visible lugply of the nited
ates i 8 owned by Great Britain and
her all}n.
Recelpts at Western points last week
were only 4,662,000 bushels, while for
the correapondln% week a year ago they
were 18# 4,000 bushels, "Part of this
falling off is doubtless due to the gener
al absence of cars for the movement of
grain, but it was largely due to the stiff
views of holders, coupled with the ideas
gs farmers that wheat must sell still
er,
ii‘mlon: of bushels of corn have been
sold by Chicago exporters for nearby
shipment and {mporters are now calling
loudly for these supplies.
While the movement out of country
elevators and off the farms shows some
increase, the deliveries have been a big
drawback to the trade, but the railroads
now claim they will furnish larger num
bers of cars and that the situation, gen
erally s;;e;king. will be easier under
certain r{id conditions surrounding un
loading of cars.
Oats have followed wheat and ecorn in
their price changes, and these condi
tions are llkel¥l to continue for a time at
least. Oats have many friends and
some of these are long goodl{ quantities
of the future and are also holders of the
cash article. The visible lupply is a
bl* one and Chicago stocks are large,
he cash demand for both meats and
lard at Chicago was sald to have been
somewhat disappointing to the larger
packers who control the market. Many
n the trade believe that I)rloel are
very high; that the product {s glontlful
and that holders are ready to hand all
these products over to buyers at mod
erate profits. It i{s expected, however,
that with improved conditlons on the
railways, as well as on the ocean, for the
handling of ho{ products, prices at least
will continue steady—if they do not ad
vance.

veloped before the end of the first hour
and the list regained the entire de

and other sections of the belt, inspired
heavy buying by leading spot houses and

The Times-Pleayune says: “The ad-
Xunco in cotton contracts since Satur
ay, amounting at the hl{hut point
touched Tuesday afternoon to 60 points
for March, or $2.50 a bale, has been due
mainly to the Increased demand for
Bpots and the firmness with which the
actual is held all over the South. A
:ood part of the cotton jstill held was
edged during the decline of last month
and the selling of this cotton is natur
ally causing the burng back of hedges.
New York reported that much of the
bu(ymg on Monday was br spot Inter
ests, and that Eastern mills were call
lng freely.
t“" a recovery of fearly two and a
half cents a pound from the low point
touched last month, it is not unnatural
that profeulons.l traders should look for
a reaction, and the lhumlk after
the opening Tuesday was on thnj

side speculation showing some tendency
to take a hand the market developed a
marked tendency to rebound in breaks.”

NEW ORLITANS, Jan, 10.-—-Last night
the news was circulated that a promi
nent operator who not long ago had ad
vised to hold by all means for 26-oent

the bear side. Yet time and conditions
now appear to justify an advance more

siasm,
The market does not now have to
work against the wolfht of the wholes

Judging by exports, Great Britain has

somewhat aroused over the aggressive

There was little speculative Interest in

twelve Southern apot markets quoted on
our board showed a tota! anvrount of

quite sufficient explanation. The strong
