Experienced operators of incubators oHen deplore 

 the fact that incubators have so Utile room for the 

 ch cks underneath the egg-tray Then again a few 

 machines have considerable room in this space but 

 the chick-tray 's ■^o consiruced that it is t xiremely un- 

 pleasant and difficult to thoroughly clean and disin- 

 fect the ins.de after the hatch is over. Many incuba- 

 tor users unite in deciding that the Gem incubator 

 fulfills the necessary c nditions The removable 

 chick-trav is one of the e.xclu-ive features of tne Gem 

 Incubator, and commends itself to every thinking 

 poultry-raiser. 



There are other points of superiority about the Gem 

 that would he intt resting lo mention, which are taken 

 up in detail in the handsome new catalogue. This 

 catalogue is free Write to the Gem Incubator Com- 

 pany, Box 53, Dayton, Ohio. 



My ad. (in the Honey Column) has been very ser- 

 viceable to me. for out of a crop of 64 lbs. of honey I 

 have only 12 remaining un.'old.
