A GREAT "little" INDUSTRY. 



A very handsome and most practical book has 

 just been issued by the Reliable Incubator and 

 Brood' r Co., box 49, Quincy, 111. Even tne most 

 experienced poultry-breeder would find this of in- 

 terest ; and of course, to the inexperienced it is 

 more valuable, containing as it does a mass of prac- 

 tical up-to-date information, much of which is not 

 set down in poultry-books. 



Before investing in any books or appliances for 

 the poultry business we would suggest sending for 

 this book. It contains 136 pages devoted to the fol- 

 lowing subjects : How to get fertile eggs ; how to 

 get bigger hatches ; how to rear heavy fowls ; how 

 to get broilers ready for the market in time to get 

 top-Dotoh prices ; how to buy a good serviceable in- 

 cubator, and a number of other practical points, all 

 bearing on the question of dollars and cents. It is 

 beautifully illustrated; and, although it contains so 

 m ch, it is sent free to all our readers if they will 

 s mply say they are subscribers to this journal, or 

 that they saw this statement therein. 



SUCCESSFUL INCUBATORS. 



One of the " old reliable " firms in the manufac- 

 ture of incubators is the Des Moines Incubator Co., 

 of Des Moines, la. They have been a long while in 



the business— long enough to acquire a vast fund of 

 information on the rearing and feeding of poultry 

 raised by artificial means. In the course of their 

 experience they must have taught thousands of suc- 

 cessful poultry-keepers the principles of the art. 



They have embodied the most of this information 

 (boiled down, it is true) in their regular catalog, 

 which is free to all who apply for it. Beyond this 

 the company have a book which gives a great deal 

 of valuable information relative to various phases 

 of the poultry industry. The title of this book is, 

 "The Proper Care and Feeding of Chicks, Ducks, 

 Geese, and Turkeys." The price is 10 cts., prepaid. 



It would be a mistake to think that this book is 

 worth only ten cents. On the contrary, it is well 

 worth fifty cents to any poultryman desirous of in- 

 creasing his knowledge of poultry culture. We 

 have alluded before to the great liberality of the in- 

 cubator manufacturers in the matter of literature. 

 They issue books which cost them thousands of 

 dollars to print and publish. These are not mere 

 advertisements, but are really excellent treatises on 

 the subjects with which they deal, and the informa- 

 tion is of the most reliable and accurate kind. 

 Moreover, they are very practical. 



The best we can do under the circumstances is to 

 advise those of our readers who are interested in 

 poultry culture to write direct to the Des Moines 

 Incubator Co. and see whether these things are so.
