Hazard* which Nometime* accompany
the Incubation of egg* are largely
avoidable. Fertile eggs from vigorous
breeding stock are necessary In order
ta obtain Rood hatches.
Free range for the breeders I* most
deal ra hie for the production of fertile
anpi with vigorous germs, but all eggs
produced from such hen* Hhould be
lined for incutintioii. Kag* that are
nbnontiiilly una 11 and poorly Hlutped or
those having tliin or very poor Hheil*
ahould tie cliuiluiited. Dirty eggs or
badly apoiled one* should not Im> u*ed.
If it l.« found necessary to net MlKhtl.v
aalled eggs they may Im- cleaned by rub-
bing lightly with a damp cloth, care
being tliken not to ml off any more of
the uatiiriil bloom than i* in*-canary.
It Is never advisable to two for hatch
lag egg* that arc more than two week#
Old. In freexlng weather eggs should
be collected two or thre«> times a day
ae as to prevent their being chilled.
Ifeltber a hen nor an incubator will
hatch strong chicks from eggs contain
I UK weak germs or from those which
have not received proper care.
In preparing the uent for the nittlng
hi-n. It in recommended to imt from
three to four inches of damp earth or
a piece of gra** sod in the Itottoin of
the newt before the ne*ting materinl I*
put In to provide moisture. When the
lien becomes broody, and before *hc In
transferred to the nest for sitting, she
should Ih< dilated with Insect powder or
sodium fluoride. In doing this, hold
the hen by the feet with tli>- head down,
working tile )H)wder well into the fcath
ers. This should he re|teuted aiHiut the
eighteenth day of Incubation so as to he
sure there are no liee present when the
t hicks are hutched.
Tile hen should Ih> moved at night
from the regular laying nest into the
nest where she is to he set The latter
nest should he in some out-of-the-way
place where the hen will not he disturb-
ed. In order to make sure that the
lien will continue to stu.v in the new
nest she should he started with one or
two china nest eggs. If. at the end of
the second day. when the hen should lie
permitted to leave her nest for food
and water, she returns In n short time, i
the nest eggs may la- replaced with the
eggs that are to he incubated.
Throughout the period of Incubation
the eggs and nests should Is- kept clean.
Homctimea it will be necessary to
change the nesting material. Kgg*
should he tested twice during the In-
cubation period, preferably on the sev-
enth and fourteenth days, and all in-
fertile eggs and those with dead germs
should lie removed. When the eggs be-
gin to luitch. the hen should be confined
and not disturbed until the hatching is
complete If she becomes restless re-

which deeply concern you. and these are things for which you may have to pay a fancy extra price when

Harvester Company
Brands Story False
DURING the past month, reports have come to us that at farmers' meetings
charges have been made, sometimes directly and sometimes indirectly, that
this Company has adopted a policy of refusing to supply repair parts for old machines
in order to compel the purchase of new ones. This statement is absolutely false.
Such a policy has never been considered by this Company nor suggested to it.
Ordinarily we ignore such reports, because we have learned that any large
company, no matter how fair and high principled, is subject at all times to unjust
criticism. The facts are this Company has always recognized the importance of
repair service and has used every effort to make IHC service the best. We believe
we can truthfully say that the repair service furnished wherever this Company's
goods are sold is equal if not superior to that furnished on any manufactured line.
We call attention to the fact that machinery "Fix-up Weeks," instead of being
aomething new and originated by the farmers in 1921, aa some Mem to think,
were really an outgrowth of the movement started by manufacturers and dealers*
associations in connection with the Council of National Defense as a war con-
servation measure. Perhaps no other agency has done so much to promote
"National Repair Weeks" as this Company.
The farmer needs machines which will be efficient and economical If his old
machines can be repaired so as to render efficient and economical service, he
would be foolish to purchase new ones. Whether the farmer utilizes and repairs
his old machines or buys new ones is a question for him to determine. But in
making his decision, we give to every farmer who owns any IHC machines the
assurance that a full stock of repair parts will always be provided by this
Company.
Today, our repair stocks on the territory available for the farmers are 21 per
cent greater than ever before at this time of the year. An Average of a quarter
million pounds of repairs are shipped from IHC factories for every working
day in the year. Thirty million dollars' worth of repair parts are now ready, as
insurance for the farmer when he needs this service.
In every International Harvester Works manufacturing orders call for repair
para first and even when furnishing them has meant cutting down production
of new machines for which we had orders, repairs have always had preference.
At every one of our 91 branch houses trained men are on duty to see that all
orders are filled and shipped prompdy. Thousands of dealers scattered every-
where with an assortment of repairs in stock are always ready afld willing to
render every assistance.
This service which this Company has rendered through the years to those who
have purchased its machines has been a matter of great pride to the Company,
and is the foundation of the cordial good-will existing between it and its customers.
We feel it is due the Company and those who have purchased its machines
that we give the widest publicity to the fact that this service of repairs will be
maintained and improved, and that any charges to the contrary are untrue.
