THE BANTAM INCUBATOR 



Since my chicken talk quite a few have asked where 

 the incubator was made, used by one of our office 

 girls. It is the '■ Binlam," advertised in this issue. 

 Quite a few of the small-sized incubators have report- 

 ed 50 chickens from oOeggs; but a letter just placed in 

 my hands "breaks the record." One of their patrons 

 got (with the Bantam) 51 chickens from 50 eggs. One 

 of the eggs was very large and had a double yolk. 



Get the Best Queens. 



Evansville, Ind., Sept. 27th, 1900. 

 The Jennie Atchley Co , BeevilU, Bee Co., Texas: 



Dear Fi iends.—lt gives me grcdt pleasure to forward 

 3'ou th s uu.solicited testimonial regarding the merits 

 of Atchley queens. The three (3) dozen queens pur- 

 chased of you have made an excellent record for 

 tbemselves. Not an Atchlej- queen among the twenty 

 colonies lost during the severe drouth in July. I have 

 bought queens from many breeders; and although the 

 present crop is exceedingly short, the tiers of supers 

 show where the Atchley queens are, and speak vol- 

 ume.* for yoir method of queen-rearing. I find the 

 progeny to be very gentle, strong winged, uniformly 

 marked, long-lived, of large size, and, last but not 

 least, the best honey-gatherers I ever had. I shall 

 want 100 more next season. 



Yours fraternally, J. C. Wai.lenmeyer.

Bingham Brass Smokers 



Made of sheet brass, which does not ru.st or burn out ; should last 

 a lifetime. You need one, but they cost 25 cts. more than tin of the 

 same size. The little open cut shows our brass hinge put on the 

 three larger sizes. No wonder Bingham's -l-inch smoke-engine 

 goes without puffing, and does not drop inky drops. The perforated 

 steel fire-grate has 381 holes to air the fuel and support the fire. 



Heavy tin smoke engine, -l-inch stove, per mail, $1.50 ; 3^-inch, 

 SI. 10; 3 inch, $1.00; 2H-inch, 90c; 2-inch, ft5c. Bingham smokers are 

 the originals, and have all the improvements, and have been the 

 standard of excellence for 22 j'ears. Only three larger ones brass.
