The article argues poultry offers high returns driven by incubator technology. It highlights half a billion dollars in US poultry value, stresses proper setup, temperature, and care, and notes demand remains strong year round. It covers machine quality, female involvement, breeding up flocks, and capon production as lucrative avenues.
The article discusses poultry feeding as a key specialty, noting skim milk or buttermilk in dairy operations can form a substantial part of the ration. Poultry aids fruit farms by reducing pests and allowing freer range. Plum and apple crops benefit from fowl use, and caponizing is portrayed as an easier task than stuffing.
The article describes traditional Chinese egg incubation using sun dried brick structures, earthen jars, and slow charcoal fires. It explains basket sizes for 1200–1350 eggs, daily testing by eye, and the use of waste garden and farm products as poultry feed to sustain year round production and fertilizer yields.
Living germs are sold on the street for about one sixth of a cent each. After testing they stay in jars for seven days, totaling eleven days. They are rolled out on a mat, hatched in a bamboo basket with room heat and a quilt in cold weather. Hatch rates run 60 to 70 percent, with 90 percent after testing. The method saves heat and space, though may not fit American needs.
