A HOME INDUSTRY. 



Many men and women are looking and longing for 

 some proatable industry which they can pursue 

 without leaving home or separating themselves 

 from their families. In this connection there are 

 very few industries which will in the long run sur- 

 pass poultry culture, and by that we mean turkey 

 and duck raising as well as chickens. 



This industry has two great advantages over 

 most pursuits of the kind. First, but little capital 

 is required to start with ; and, second, there is a 

 market for the products almost everywhere. O ae 

 may start with an incubator such as is made by the 

 George Ertel Co , Quincy. 111., for $7.85, delivered at 

 any railroad station east of the Rockies. This holds 

 100 eggs which is ample for a beginner. 



The catalog issued by the same concern is really 

 a treatise on poultry, and ougat to stimulate farm- 

 ers very greatly to make far greater efforts than 

 they have hitherto done to make the chicken busi- 

 ness not only profitable but a pleasure besides. 

 Write to the Ertel Co., mentioning us. 



whole aspect of the country will be changed by 

 tree-planting, giving not only a pleasing and at- 

 tractive appearance to the landscape, but also doing 

 much to make life more agreeable to all the inhabi- 

 tants thereof. The treeless prairie is being rapidly 

 changed into a beautifully clothed landscape at com- 

 paratively small expense. In the matter of fruit- 

 trees, equally good results are being accomplished, 

 and all parts of the earth have been ransacked to 

 And fruits suited to the extremely trying conditions 

 of our Northwest. One of the foremost workers in 

 this line of human endeavor has been The Gardner 

 Nursery Co., of Osage, la., who started at the prob- 

 lem 38 years ago, and who may be said, without 

 prejudice, to have mastered that problem very sat- 

 isfactorily. It is worth while encouraging such a 

 tirm with an order — the more so when you help 

 yourself by doir g it. It will pay you to write this 

 tirm for information concerning trees. 



BVEHGBBEN WINDBREAKS FOB THE BLIZZARD BELT. 



Nothing is doing more to improve farm life in the 

 "blizzard belt " than the planting of hardy trees. 

 This is particularly true of trees suitable for wind- 

 bri-aks to shelter man and beast from trying prairie 

 winds. Crops, too, are sheltered, and in time the 



TO THE LADIES. 



We desire to call special attention to the advertise- 

 ment of the American College of Dressmaking, Kan- 

 sas City, Mo. It appears on page 301 of this issue. 

 We have carefully examined their literature, and 

 we see no reason why any person with a natural 

 aptitude for dressmaking may not learn this trade 

 by this system of instruction by mail. There are 

 many who will be glad to avail themselves of the 

 offer now being made by this college of dressmaking.
