THE AMERICAN BEE-KEEPER. 



The Cosmopolitan for January is fill- 

 ed as usual with good things. An in- 

 teresting article, "Aluminium — The 

 Metal of the Future," by Prof. Rich- 

 ards, should be read by every one in- 

 terested in that direction. "In Camp 

 with Stanley," is the subject of an art- 

 icle by A. I. M. Jephson, and a finely 

 illustrated description of the "French 

 Salons," by M. Ricardo Nobile, will 

 be of great interest to artists. There 

 is a continuation of the charming 

 story, "A Daughter of the South," and 

 numerous other shorter stories and 

 sketches. 



Poultry raising by the use of Incu- 

 bators and Brooders will be given a 

 boom by the introduction of the Im- 

 proved "Champion" Incubator, as the 

 manufacturers, The Famous Mfg Co., 

 of Chicago, are the first and well 

 known manufacturing company in the 

 country to begin the manufacture of 

 Incubators and Brooders. 



Artificial incubation has long been 

 recognized as a success, but the well 

 known fact that the manufacture of 

 incubators was one of the modes by 

 which unscrupulous parties have 

 swindled the public has deterred 

 many from using the incubators who 

 otherwise would. 



The Improved " Champion " Incu- 

 bator was invented and patented by 

 one of the officers of the company, 

 who has had years of experience in 

 operating and manufacturing them, 

 so that they are no experiment, but 

 have been tested and tried. Many 

 improvements have been added to the 

 machine, and as now manufactured 

 by the Famous Mfg Co. it will no 

 doubt meet with success and give the 

 highest satisfaction wherever intro- 



duced. Those who intend to buy in- 

 cubators and brooders should not fail 

 to address the company for a descrip- 

 tive catalogue of the Improved 

 " Champion."
