the best food? He says
 TO answer these questions cor rectly requires a personal knowledge of the conditions under which the breed, incubator or feed is to be used More than that. something must be known of the man who will handle them. his methods, ideas, etc. It is driving in the dark to attempt to rec. ommend one variety of fowls for everybody. Thank goodness, we all don think alike or act alike, so there is plenty of room in the world for nearly 100 varieties of standard bred poultry.
 One variety or one breed will make success in one mans hands under that mans care and handling, while still another variety or breed will make an even larger success in an- ether fellows hands. And it is all be- cause the conditions are different and their methods are different. Yet, if the two fellows were to swap breeds they would probably both make dis nal failures. So it is pretty hard to lay down hard and fast rule or rec ommend by letter what breed any one should adopt, what feed they should use or what incubator will .lo best.
 When it comes to incubators, it is a good deal like asking our fair read CTS 10 tell what is the best sewing ma- chine. Nearly every one of them has favorite and that favorite has proven the very best one for it's user. So when 1t comes to recommending a sewing machine each one Of the users would recommend the one that has given her besi service. Possibly they use II under different conditions. with differ cnt care, on different classes of work etc. 50 it is with every incubator. One man will make a success with one machine while another man will do better with another kind. There are many good makes of incubators. You will find our advertising pages con tain all the leading makes Don't take our word for !, but get in touch with several of ,hem and lind out what they have to offer; read their catalogues carefully and decide for yourself just what will be tl;e best incubator to use under your condi- tions7
 Too much care cannot be taken in feeding and housing chickens for win ! ter laying, but above all, good, healthy young hens for this purpose.
