A secondary object is to teach the most approved methods of mating, incubating, breeding, etc., etc. In the main pavilion is an incubator cellar of 40 machines capacity, and chicks, ducklings, etc., will be hatched each day during the season. "These will be advanced through indoor and outdoor brooders and colony pens, beingmoved ahead one pen a day, until they are ready for the table.
