water from the weekly wash, hopping

that the water will spread over large

PROFIT IN POULTRY.
Hatch Chickens without the
Aid of IncubatOrs.

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
specially 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 incuba tor is used the chicks
all come out at one time, and, being OF
one age, have an equal chance to grow
up. 1t is no more trouble to take care
of 100 chickens in 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. 1t does not
get tired of sitting and strike, nor does
it get fussy and scratch lot of valuable
eggs into heterogeneous mass of shell,
contents and nest material.
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 bis
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.
chirery has been improved to a greater
extent than these and they are now sc
perfect, that the old claim that "a child
can operate them is literally true

THINGS TO CONSIDER.
What Farmers Should Grow for Mar
ket to Obtain Satisfactory
Pecuniary Results.

This is question that comes up for
consideration quite frequently in the
mind of the progressive farmer, and
especially at this season of the year,
when all the busy work is done and we
begin to look about to see what had best
be undertaken another year. In decid-
ing what crops to grow farmers do not
always consider the important item of
cost in taking them to market, which
is governed to no small extent by the
weight of the crop, as well as the dis
lance from market. The greater the
distance products must be transport
ed and the poorer. the roads that are
to be travelled the greater the neces-
sity for producing stuff that is easily
marketed. ..
If one grows potatoes and sells them
at 40 cents bushel, the local price at
many towns this season, he must draw
| 1875 bushels to market to obtain $50.
These 1875 bushels will weigh nearly
four tons. How many times they have
to be handled, sorted and lifted the
farmer that grows them alone can tell
| If he grows small fruits for the mar
ket and realizes ten cents quart for
his product he is getting about $500 n
| bushel, or over 500 ton for what he
sells, or about eight times as much as
the potatoes brought him. Then there
Is eight times the cost in wear and tear
of wagon and horsefesh, as well as
muscular strength expended by the pro.
| Queer. We have all heard of the farm
er's wife who took a basket of eggs to
the store on her arm and obtained more
money for it than her husband did for
a two-horse load of hay. If it is not a
true story, it illustrates the point.
Almost every day we see coming to
town small paper boxes not weighing
more than two or three pounds, which
contain flowers that are sold for quite
as much money as wagonload of some
kinds of farm products will bring. If
farmers would pay little more atten-
ton to the production of these items
which are in demand at high prices they
would make more money than they do.
1t would cost no more to arrange for
the production of flowers that would
sell for one dollar pound than pigs
that bring three cents pound.-Farm-
| ers' Guide.
