It is said that several of our sa-
loon men have been viotimized, by
parties in Jackson county, who
wrote orders for whiskey, and sent
in bogus checks, duly signed and
stamped, payable at the Ripley
Bank. The boys got the whisky,
but the saloonists are out their
cash. Several Parkersburg saloon
lists were caught also.

lhn last annual report of the Vermont

that the number of losses for the year

PROFIT IN POULTRY.
Farmers Can No Longer Afford tn
Hatch Chickens without the
Aid OF Kncubators.

The farmer who raises more than 100
chickens cannot afford to hatch them
with hens. The average farmer should
arrange with his wife and girls to
hatch as many chickens as can be cared
for during the coming season. The
farmer has every advantage as poul
try raiser over the man who makes
| speciality Of it. He produces nearly ev-
erything that is needful in the way of
feed and can provide shelter for an un-
usually large number very cheaply by
making straw houses or other make
shifts for temporary use.
Where this plan is followed incuba-
tors and breeders are used to greatest
advantage. These machines have been
so nearly perfected that boy or girl
of average intelligence can care for
them without difficulty. The children
take an interest in such things and soon
learn how to operate them perfectly,
and once this knowledge is acquired the
presence of an incubator or two is cause
for very little extra work.
When an incubator is used the chicks
ali come out at one time, and, being of
one age, have an equal chance 10 grow
up. It is no more trouble to take care
of 100 chickens in a good brooder than
it is to watch an old hen with three
chickens. An incubator is much easier
to care for than a lot of sitting hens, and
it is reliable in every way. It does not
get tired of sitting and strike, nor does
it get fussy and scratch a lot of valua Bile
eggs into heterogeneous mass of shell.

A sewing machine is considered indis-
pensable and to go without a moving
| machine is to be very far behind the
| times. The man who would make his
poultry most profitable must use an in
cubator and breeders in order to derive
| the greatest profits from his flock.
| These machines are cheaper than ever
| and better than ever. No class of ma
chinery has been improved to greater
| extent than these and they are now so
