Not Difficult to Manage.
While there is nothing complex or
difficult about the successful operation
of an incubator, close attention and ex-
actness are necessary; yet the results
are more than worth the effort. The
woman who fills her lamps regularly
every morning, and the man VINO
winds his watch or clock at the
same hour every evening, need not
fear the task of running an incubator;
but unless one is willing to attend to
the few wants of his machine at the
right time, it will be unreasonable TO
look for a good Matching of chickens
from the best incubator upon the
market.

has found great delight in Matching

BIG PROFITS IN CHICKENS.

highly profitable flock, that 1t seems
strange that there should be single
flock of dung-hills throughout the coun-
try. 1t costs no more to feed and care
for a broad breasted Plymouth Rock,
or a Wyandotte, or a huge Light Brah-
ma, or any of a dozen other splendid
standard varieties than it does for the
common scrub, and with the low price
at which good eggs, or practically pure
bred cockerels can be had, ii is the
easiest thing imaginable to have, after
two or three years of systematic breed
ing, a flock of chickens producing
three times the profit of the original
flock.
Standard Kinds of Chickens.
A fascinating little bulletin has been
issued by the Department of Agricul
ture Farmers bulletin No. 81 which
is replete with illustra tions of the prin-
cipal standard varieties of chickens,
the reading of which by any chicken
grower, however small, should certain
ly stimulate New Year resolution to
make the flock a real money Garner.
Ttis bulletin, while it will prove, prob
ably, mere stimulant for mo
extensive literature on the subject, can
be obtained without cost from Sena-
tors and Members of Congress, or the
Secretary of Agriculture. and the proof
Of its popularity is apparent in the
seven or eight editions which it has
been necessary to publish to supply the
demand throughout the country.
Caponizing fowls.
One of the most attractive features
Of poultry raising is the production Of
capons. This is a story all by itself.
1t is an experiment which one can en-
ter into and with a very slight expend-
iture for a set of instruments, can fol-
low it to any degree desired. 1t re-
quires some judgment and a little at
tention, but caponizing is not difficult;
it is one of those things which, while
it looks, in the beginning, to be hard
proposition, gradually comes to you all
of itself, so that the first thing you
know you become almost an expert,
and the reward is very considerable.
Capons always sell readily and at
good advance in price. The birds be-
come very docile and easily handled
and are always money makers. The
readiness wit which the new capon

! large focks of fine chickens from
them, but it was necessary to do a
little experimenting first to get the ma
chine in good working order, to keep
the lamp trimmed so that it burned a
clear, white flame and to do a dozen
other little things, which in very
short time made the owner as familiar
with the incubator as with any other
simple piece of farm machinery.
The period of incubation is always
one of expectancy and when the chicks
begin to come forth from the shell
there is either keen joy or a decided
dampening of ardor, according as to
the results of the hatch. But don't be-
come discouraged if the first hatch
brings you only 80 per cent. of chick
ems. Go right ahead, determined TO
omit the mistakes of the first trial and
aim for So or 90 per cent. of the next
Matching, which you should get if you
have a good incubator and handle it
properly. After a little practice you
come TO know your machine, how it is
acting and what it will do, as we'll as
you know your driving horse, in fact
you can gauge it even more closely,
for it is n machine and you can control

There are hot air machines and hot
water machines, there are small
machines and big machines-machines
to meet every need and requirement.:
the only thing is to get u good machine.
An Attractive Side Line.
The poultry business on the farm has
always been considered largely within
lie province of the women folks, and
the enlargement of the industry by
utilizing incubators has not changed
the situation, except that many others
than farmers wives are now raising
chickens from incubators.
Modern chicken raising as it has
been adopted by thousands Of people
owning small rural homes" said an
incubator agent to me recently, "ac-
counts for the sale of an enormous
number of our incubators and brooders.
In fact, it is among this class largely
that we do business, and they are
making the money out of it. A vast
field is still open among the more con-
serva"ve residents of the interior farm
sections, who still stick to old methods,
unaware Of the comparative simplicity
of good incubator and of the great
profit possible through its use"

ton as to the splendid physical make
up of a chicken. Any boy or girl who
has ever succeeded in skinning and
stuffing a bird will take hold of the
caponizing idea with avidity; in fact,
Caponizing is by far the easier job; it
is as easy as the skinnng operation, for
in bird mounting the stuffing is the
really difficult part.

POSTAL TREATY TO END.
Canada Cites Notice Of Abrogation
on MaY :.

Washington. Nov. 23-As the result Of friction
over publishers privileges in the two countries
the Canadian government has informed this gov
ernment that the postal convention between
them will be abrogated OH May next. The
notice is accompanied by a statement that It is
only in far it relates TO second class matter
that this action is desired to extend and that IL
by legislation or department action regu-
latons are framed for the guidance of the United
States Postoffice Department regarding second
class matter. Canada will be prepared to enter
into negotiations for another convention relating
10 this class Of matter.
Under the convention, as amended In 1904
Canada has given notice from time to time Of
the exclusion from its mails Of a number of
periodicals published in the United States ex-
cept al higher rates Of postage. while the United
States has not found it necessary TO take such
action as to Canadian publications. except in one
or two cases. In announcing this action to-day
the following explanation was made at the
Postof4ce Department:
The United States Postoffice Department has
recently received notice from Canada that the
publishing business is developing rapidly in
that country. engaging a large office force in
considering the question OF granting publishers
statutory privileges to their own new publtca-
uons, and that, owing 10 the immense number
of publications in this country and the inn
perfect character OF the means of prevention.
there are many United States publications still
admitted 10 the mails in Canada which would
not be allowed statutory publishers privileges
II published in that country This fact coupled
with the published statement that a number
have been excluded, produces friction and dis
satisfaction The Canadian office has there
fore given notice under Article XIII OF the con-
vention Of 1883, of the abrogation of the postal
convention between the United States and Can
ada six months from date November :. 1896.
