BEE-KEEPEKS DIRECTOKY. 



Please turn to page 1399, and look over 

 the new classified department we have start- 

 ed, the "Bee Directory." This department 

 is for the benefit of our readers. The adver- 

 tisers that use it are sure to find it profita- 

 ble. Uon't you think your business worth 

 advertising at least to the extent of a two or 

 three line ad. in that department? 



SUBB HATCH INCUBATOR CO. OUTGROWS CLAY CEN- 

 TER, NEB. 



The Sure Hatch Incubator Co. has been compelled 

 by the enormous increase in its business to cut loose 

 from the little town of Clay Center, Nebraska. It 

 has removed to Fremont, Nebraska, where it now 

 has under construction the largest incubator-plant in 

 the world. 



The Sure Hatch Incubator Co. sold over 26,000 ma- 

 chines in 190.5. No other incubator concern in the 

 country approached this enormous output. It is safe 

 to say that the 1907 business will far exceed this 

 splendid record, for the Sure Hatch is the most pop- 

 ular incubator on the market, and the 1907 machine 

 has several very important improvements. These 

 will be fully explained in the 1907 Sure Hatch 

 Catalog and Poultry Book, which will soon be ready 

 for distribution. 



Every one interested in poultry-raising should 

 have a copy. Send a postal to the Sure Hatch Incu- 

 bator Co., Box R 107, Fremont, Nebraska, or 4.^ East 

 Washington Street, Indianapolis, and say, "File my 

 name for your 1907 Sure Hatch Catalog and Poultry 

 BcOa," or, if you wish, the 1906 catalog will be sent 

 you at once if you ask for it. You will be delighted 

 with the new Sure Hatch book. 



A WORD ABOUT RENEWALS. 



From now until January 1st, a very large per cent of 

 GLBANrNGs' subscriptions expire. In fact, this is the 

 situation with most periodicals. 



You, doubtless, are beginning to notice the various 

 combination offers. Gleanings you will find as usu- 

 al among them. We are preparing some very attrac- 

 tive offers which will appear soon. On page 1391 j'ou 

 will find a very remarkable offer that will suit every 

 member of the family. 



Have you read the advertisement of the Metropoli- 

 tan and Rural Home appearing on pages 1386 and 1387? 

 If you haven't, turn to them at once, for it's worth 

 your while. The offer Mr. Ellis makes is very liberal. 

 The paper he publishes is all right. It's the biggest 

 farm paper that comes to our office— well edited, and 

 lots of illustrafions. You are taking no risk in the 

 least when you fill out the coupon. 



In our Oct. 15th issue we ran a classified ad. 

 for John C. Frank, Earlville, 111., who had a 



miscellaneous lot of supplies to dispose of. 

 Oct. 25 he wrote us as follows: 



Do not insert my ad. any more, as my bees are sold, 

 and I have so many letters that I can not answer 

 them. 



Do not forget to try our classified columns 

 under our guarantee to refund the amount 

 charged, if no satisfactory returns are i"e- 

 ceived. 



We receive almost daily an inquiry from 

 some part of the country for information re- 

 garding suitable help for the apiary, or 

 from parties who desire position in this line. 

 We are quite often able to put these people 

 in correspondence with each other so that 

 an engagement is made. It has been our 

 experience, however, that the use of the 

 want column is sure to he satisfactory. We 

 do not recall a single instance where a party 

 has advertised for a situation without ob- 

 taining the same. If you are in need of help 

 for next year or want a situation, a two-line 

 ad. in the November 15th or December 

 issues will undoubtedly prove successful. 

 Cost is only 40 cts. for two-line ad. 



POULTRY NECESSITIES. 



We often hear the term "poultry necessities." 

 These are general words which sometimes mean one 

 thing and sometimes another. If we were asked to 

 name a thing which is a necessity at all times to all 

 poultrymen everywhere, we could think of nothing 

 better to be named than reliable roup and cholera 

 cures. Roup and cholera come as naturally to the 

 flock as a cold and attendant ills do to us. It is of 

 the utmost importance to have some reliable and ef- 

 fectual means of treatment directly at hand. Un- 

 questionably among the very best remedies to be had 

 anywhere are the Conkey roup and cholera cures. 

 They have been long in use, are widely known, and 

 have stood the tests under all conditions. It goes 

 without saying, that they are scientifically com- 

 pounded, and they have made their way into all parts 

 of the world. In general, where comparisons of oth- 

 er remedies are made it is with Conkey's as the 

 standard. Perhaps the best known, though not more 

 efficient, remedy of Conkey's is the roup cure, as it is 

 the specific for the greatest scourge of the poultry- 

 yard. 



A most excellent little book. "Poultry Diseases," 

 which was formerly sold for 25 cts. by the Conkey 

 people, can now be had free by sending in the post- 

 age, 4 cts., and names and addresses of two neighbor- 

 ing poulty-keepers. It is a book you should have if 

 you keep poultry. Notice the Conkey advertisement 

 on page 1400. 



P. S. When more convenient, our readers can send 

 requests for the book above to The A. I. Root Co.
