A Wonderful Photograph. -I have pho- 

 tographed a mountain range 05 miles away, 

 beating all previous records by 30 miles. 

 Better still. I 1iave made a picture, a most 

 unusual thing in tele-photography. The sub- 

 ject is Mount Baker. Wash., a snow-clad 

 mountain II, TOO feet high; the point of view 

 is Victoria. British Columbia. For beauty 

 the scene is not excelled on earth. In the 

 immediate foreground is a solid bank of 

 primeval forest, then come the Haro Straits. 

 45 miles wide, dotted with many islands; 

 next rise the foothills blending into the 

 snowy grandeur of the Rocky Mountains, 

 with Baker towering high above— a silent 

 sentinel. I have also photographed the 

 Olympic Mountains. Wash., from Victoria, 

 a distance of 65 miles, again getting a pic- 

 ture. It took me 18 months' persistent effort 

 to get them, but I will not bother you with 

 my troubles. I am selling prints from the 

 original negatives. bJixSJs. at Si. 50 each, but 

 will supply the pair for S2.00. They are

Making Hens Lay,— Although it is now 

 midwinter, a great deal of poultry is just re- 

 covering from the moult. This should have 

 been completed by December, and not two 

 months later. However.it is not too late to get 

 hens into laying condition, and if poultry 

 owners will adopt correct feeding methods, 

 they may soon be getting a full egg crop.* It 



is only those who do not get winter eggs who 

 say that poultry is an expense. Those who 

 feed fresh cut bone and other egg-making 

 food know that poultry is a source of profit, 

 and especially in winter, when so many 

 owners do not feed their flocks intelligently. 



The primary lesson for poultrymen to 

 learn is that food— proper food— makes hens 

 lay, and the lack of it— not the .weather- 

 stops them. 



Of all egg-making food fresh cut bonecom- 

 bines in the highest degree egg-forming ele- 

 ments and cheapness. The work of cutting 

 it in a Humphrey always-open hopper bone 

 cutter is not hard. A child can turn this 

 easiest of all cutters, and it is the work of 

 only a few minutes to cut enough fresh 

 bone for a large flock of chicks. The Humph- 

 rey is a bone cutter that does not need to be 

 cleaned, and it possesses other exclusive 

 advantages. Don't judge a Humphrey by 

 what you may have had. Send for their 

 splendid free book. "The Golden Egg." and 

 learn how to feed and care for chickens 

 from the egg to the ax. You will find it one 

 of the most helpfully instructive books on 

 poultry published. Write today, address,

 Cyphers Incubator Company. Dept. 83. Buf- 

 falo. N. Y. It is their iqii Big Catalog and 



PouUryman's Guide, entitled. " Profitable 

 Poultry Raising." a handsome book of 212

 plants in the country, together with pictures

Early Days of Artificial Incubation.— Geo. 



H. Stahl, a pioneer in an industry that has 

 grown to wonderful proportions, has been 

 at it 32 years. Though his first iracubator 

 was very crude— still it was on the right 

 principle, did its work, lived up to every 

 promise made for it. and really hatched 

 chicks. It was the first machine to be taken 

 seriously and looked upon as a really scien- 

 tific hatcher.
