my purpose. 1 wrote to Mr.. Ogden

asking him if he would be candi-
date for re election, and have his
letter IN reply thereto stating that

not to become candidate for re-
election. Now, while I do not think

Mr. Ogden to run, and thinking,
perhaps, his only reason for hesitat-

But to get these high, they must be
hatched in February, March and April.
As hens are not inclined to set thus
early, you must use incubators. They
hatch larger per cent of chickens than
hens and are healthier, being free from
lice. have two incubators that made
myself. They cost S., and hold $50
chickens. Any one can get directions
for making an incubator like mine, by
writing to j. Bane, New Concord, o.,
stamps for postage. My incu-
bators are complete success, and being
so cheap are within the reach of all, and
any lady can run it. have 2l2 hens,
