MR. RICE, THE " PAINT MAN." 



It is with pleasure we announce the fact that Mr. Rice " The 

 Paint Man " is again a user of these columns. We are always 

 glad to see an old friend return to the fold, and in this case we 

 are peculiarly gratified because it shows our readers are users 

 of paint. It indicates tidiness and general neatness, and also 

 care to be a user of paint. The kind of paint sold by Mr. Rice 

 is such that almost any one can afford to be liberal with it, and 

 that is a great point. It requires no oil, and therefore effects a 

 great saving. Thousands of customers have used it with satis- 

 faction, so it is no experiment whatever. There are many who 

 insist that oil in a paint is entirely unnecessary, and it begins 

 to look like it when one reads the testimonials submitted by 

 Mr. Rice. If you are a user of paint, large or small, we be- 

 lieve it will pay you to get in touch with Mr. Rice. We think 

 that on careful and mature investigation, backedup by a care- 

 ful trial, you will decide that oilless paint has real merit and 

 is worthy of extended use for many purposes around the farm 

 home. 



A SPLENDID CHRISTMAS PRESENT. 



Very few articles are more appropriate for Christmas presents 

 than fountain pens of good quality. Such a pen in one's pocket 

 is always handy and is a constant reminder of the one who 

 gave it. Good fountain pens can now be obtained for the sum 

 of $1.00 from the Laughlin Fountain Pen Co. who advertise in 

 this journal. Formerly as good a pen sold for $2.50 or there- 

 abouts. Now they are within the reach of all at a dollar each. 

 The Red Gem is particularly desirable as it may be slipped 

 into the vest pocket unlike the ordinary pen. It will be a 

 hard matter to find a nicer Christmas present. It writes 

 just like an ordinary pencil and requires no special atten- 

 tion to keep it in order. The lead pencil has an awkward way 

 of breaking just when one wants it most, but the Red Gem 

 writes a long time before it requires a fresh supply of ink. 

 The Laughlin Co. are so sure they have a good thing that they 

 make an extremely liberal offer to those who find they do not 

 want the pens after trying them. It is the " square-deal " 

 principle carried clear out to the end. Nothing could be fairer. 



tors in America. It does not seem necessary for us to enlarge 

 on the merits of his manufactures, as he must be well known 

 to many of our older readers, for he has periodically used these 

 columns for a number of years. If you are in want of an in- 

 cubator this season we would suggest that you write Mr. Stahl, 

 stating your desires. 



WINDBREAKS FOR THE FARM. 



In the Central States and the Mississippi Valley there exists 

 an absolute necessity for good windbreaks to protect from the 

 chily blasts all kinds of farm stock and crops. In many sec- 

 tions windbreaks are very necessary for the protection of fruit- 

 trees, vegetables, and farm crops. Many farmhouses could be 

 rendered far pleasanter by the addition of good strong wind- 

 breaks. They take the sting out of the wind, and rob the 

 " norther" of its terrors. It is not a difficult proposition to 

 get a windbreak. If you will write to The Gardner Nursery 

 Co., box 26, Osage, Iowa, they will tell you just what you 

 ought to plant, how to plant, and the cost of the trees. They 

 have trees on purpose to resist blizzards. In a few short 

 years you will be proud of your windbreak if you go to work 

 and plant it now. It will be an improvement which will add 

 much to the selling value of the farm — far more than it costs 

 you. The same concern also sells fruit-trees suitable for the 

 blizzard belt. They have also a line of hardy ornamentals so 

 that they are in position to supply all the trees a farmer needs 

 for the adornment and protection of his home. 



A WOODEN SITTING HEN. 



Mr. George H. Stahl, the celebrated maker of wooden hens, 

 is again using these columns to make known their merits to the 

 whole world. Mr. Stahl is one of the pioneer makers of incuba- 



THE " IDEAL " INCUBATOR. 



Nowadays there are a great many makers of incubators in the 

 world, and more particularly in the United States. One of the 

 most reliable firms of incubator-manufacturers is the J. W. 

 Miller Co., box 48, Freeport, 111. They make a nice line of 

 medium-priced chick-machines which will compare very favor- 

 ably with those made anywhere, quality and piice being both 

 considered in the deal. They have been in that business for 

 a quarter of a century, hence their reputation is made, and they 

 are not under the necessity of making big statements to draw 

 attention to their wares. Their advertisement, which is in- 

 serted elsewhere in this paper, is quite modest, but they do a 

 large trade nevertheless, because they are widely and favor- 

 ably known among poultry-breeders all over America and 

 across the ocean as well. They issue a very fine catalog 

 which is sure to interest every lover of poultry, no matter how 

 small his place may be. Write for it right now.
