 old boy with a saw and hammer. The cost, with

 the best and handiest made. 



Make Layers Out of Loafers. 



To make hens lay their best, in winter, growing 

 green food, rich in vitamines, must be fed. Sprouted 

 oats are best. The Putnam Home Made Sprouter 

 yields the best and sweetest sprouts and with the 

 least work. I will send, free, plans for this sprouter 

 with description of Little Putnam Stove to heat it. 

 Also instructions for use of stove to keep fowls' 

 drinking water unfrozen. Stove holds three pints of

Books and Bulletins

 lace Douglass, published by Tho Bobbs-Merrill Co., 

 Indianapolis, a delightfully written book of 178 

 pages, has just been issued. The book is written 

 especially for beginners in beekeeping, the author 

 drawing largely from his own experience as a be- 

 ginner, enumerating the many perple.xing problems 

 which he encountered and telling how they were 

 solved. The book is exceedingly entertaining, aside 

 from the lessons in beekeeping, tempting the reader 

 on from chapter to cliMpf^pr !,iie a novel. It is well 

 illustrated -with a nv nhci- 01 half-tone plates, mak- 

 ing it an attractive ^uluiue.
