Constructed on Simple and mt the
same Time Correct Principles.
The incubator has come to stay IN the
poultry world, and many farmers are
nlso availing themselves of its advan-
tages. Where incubators are used, one
must have breeders, and unless these
can be made at home, the expense of
a Matching plant" is very materially
increased. Fortunately, breeders can
be constructed that will do very good
work, though of course they must be
watched little more closely than
would be necessary with the self-regu-
l6ting breeders that one can buy.
A plan is shown herewith that gives
a brooder constructed on simple and
at the same time correct principles.
The diagram, Fig. 1, is very nearly self
explanatory. A box three feet square,
or thereabouts, has in the bottom n
brooder lamp or stove. Above this Is
a sheet of iron as large as the inside
of the box, and supported at the four
sides, and by an iron prop near the
lamp, if it is inclined to sag. Make the
edges air-tight with cement, so that no

irg in the side near the bottom of the
lamp chamber, and one near the top
on the opposite sides, give fresh air for
the lamp and an exit for its fumes. The
lamp is inserted through small door

of the brooder chamber is n drop door,
for the easy sweeping out of the floor.

BUSINESS METHODS.
Why Farmers should Look After
Their Insurance Policies.


Farmers sometimes forfeit their in
surance by neglect. While the mu-
tual companies do not, as we under
stand it, hold farmers to the strict
letter of the law, as do the stock COM
panies, but go more on the equities OF
the case in their settlements than on
strictly legal points, nevertheless 1T
is wise to have everything straight
at the start and keep it straight. For
example, many farmers during the
year make additions to their build
irgs. The company should be in
formed of this fact and additional
whether against fire, light
ming or tornado, should be taken out
to cover the increased value. Many
farmers sell or trade properties during
the year and this vitiates their policy
unless an assignment is made, returned
to the company, and new policy
issued. Where farmers do not sell
outright they frequently deed por-
tions of their property to their wives
or members of their families, thus
making a change of title and in each
case the policy should state the facts.
Another matter. In making out
policy always see that the property
that you wish to protect is specifically
mentioned in the policy and that it
is so mentioned that there can be no
dispute about it. For example, we
heard of case lately that is likely to
lead to litigation in a stock company.
The farmer so insured carried so much
insurance on grains. A fire occurred
and in addition to the grains lot OK
clover seed was burned. The question
came up at once, is clover seed a grain?
It will be very difficult to prove that
it is. Therefore the policy should read
grain and clover seed, or any other
kind of seed.
Another matter. Always keep your
policy where you will know where to
get it should it be needed for any pur-
pose and if possible keep it in fire.
proof safe. Bankers usually take care
of papers of this kind and it would be
good thing to leave your policies
together with your banker. or in some
other place where they are as safe as
possible from fire.-Wallace's Farmer

Hor... Holding Their own.

An observing gentleman from the
west says he believes the market for
horses is rapidly improving. He says
people got the idea that electricity and
the bicycle were gong to render the
demand for horses less than they have.
In some parts of the west horses are
now becoming scarce because they have
been disposed of ut an astonishing rate.
Electricity has about run its length as
a displacer of horses and the bicycle is

has never had cause for regretting that pur-
chase. In a conversation held few days

OF mine, a travelling man told me to get some
Of Williams Pink Pills and have my wife
try them. Upon looking up the remedy !

some pretty strong statements in favor OF II.
II went to the drug stores but not single
one of them kept the article. Then went
to Graham & Yentzer,s drug store and mad
George Yentzer send for some Of the pills.
Well, they came and took them home
to my wife. She started in to use them and
the effect was marvelously favorable, and
her condition began to improve steadily. IL
was but short time until the headaches had
almost wholly disappeared and the general
state of her health was much helped. MY
wife kept on using the pills and likewise
kept getting better. In comparatively short
time her condition was more healthy than
for several years Is it any wonder that we
both became true friends of pr. Williams
