Excerpt from Incubation, Natural and Artificial: With Illustrations and Descriptions of Incubators, Modes of Constructing Brooders, and the Best Methods of Rearing Chickens Artificially HE word incubate was formerly used in a more limi Tted sense than it is at the present time. Nine people out of ten will say that incubation is hatching, and ask If it is not hatching, what is it? It appears that, strictly speaking, the sitting on eggs for the purpose of furnishing heat is incubation; not the mere hatching. But the word has been appropriated as the best to express the whole Operation of sitting on eggs, or giving them the required heat to effect the hatching, whether in the natu ral way, by the hen, goose, turkey, etc., or by the use of contrivances that furnish artificial heat with boxes, drawers, lamps and regulators. A word must in the long run be made to answer the purpose of those who use it, even if the' Latin derivation is ignored. Words get their meaning changed or extended, in time. Man invents some new method, and uses an Old word to express his idea. When the novice desires to learn all that can be learned about incubation he may well commence at the beginning and consider the best methods pf obtaining eggs that will hatch when placed under favorable conditions.4 [nc uba tion.
