American Vee Journal 



ness some weeks ago. Mr. Stah! said : " Our 

 first aim was a macliine that would actually 

 hatch every fertile egg that we can put into 

 it. One that could be relied upon to surely 

 and accurately do its work. Then we started 

 simplifying the machine so that any one 

 could understand its workings and run it 

 successfully. How successful we svere is 

 shown by the records of the machines we 

 have on the market today." 



Mr. Stahl manufactures the "Excelsior" 

 Incubators and Brooders, the "I X L." In- 

 cubator and Brooder Combination, and the 

 "Wooden Hen." A request to Mr. Geo. H. 

 Stahl. of Quincy. 111., mentioning this paper,

Sweet Clover Seed ! 



Sweet Clover is rapidly becoming one of 

 the most useful things that can be grown oil 

 the farm. Its value as a honey-plant is well 

 known to bee-keepers, but its worth as a 

 forage-plant and also as an enricherof the 

 soil are not so widely known. However, 

 Sweet Clover is coining to the front very 

 fast these days. Some years ago it was con- 

 sidered as a weed by those who knew no 

 better. The former attitude of the enlight- 

 ened farmer today is changing to a great re- 

 spect for and appreciation of Sweet Clover, 

 both as a food for stock and as a valuable 

 fertilizer for poor and worn out soils. 



The seed can be sown any time from now 

 until next April or May. From 18 to 20 

 pounds per acre of the unhuUed seed is 

 about the right quantity to sow. 



We can ship promptly at the following 

 prices: , , ^ , 



Postpaid. I pound for 30 cents, or 2 pounds 

 for 50 cents. By express f. o. b. Chicago- 

 5 pounds for 7=;c; 10 pounds for J1.20; 25 

 pounds for 83.00; 5" pounds for S5.50; or 100 

 pounds for Sio.oo. 



If wanted by freight, it will be necessary to 

 add 25 cents more for cartage to the above 

 prices on each order. 



If seed is desired of the Yellow Sweet 

 Clover, add 3 cents per pound to the above 

 prices.
