The "Iron Age" potato planter also is described 

 and illustrated. This implement should be 

 used more extensively by farmers and vegetable 

 gardeners. It is a great labor saver and does 

 the work better than it can be done by band.

-iJJn the I'ebruary number of The Canadian 

 Horticulturist reference was made to the 

 growing popularity of the incubator which has 

 become such a necessity to successful poultry 

 keeping. It may be in order to enumerate 

 some points wherein the incubator has the 

 advantage in comparison to hens. 

 -^In the first place, the hen should never be 

 set in the same pen with laying hens, for the 

 layers will certainly lay in the same nest, and 

 the result is usually one or more broken eggs, 

 which necessitates the washing of the sound 

 egg and a fresh nest to be made. To avoid 

 this difficulty, it is imperative that the setting 

 hens should be in a pen by themselves. Now 

 the trouble begins. Rarely the hen takes 

 kindly to her new surroundings, and great 

 patience, perseverance and temper control are 

 required before Biddy decides to do business 

 at the new stand. With the incubator their 

 trouble is overcome.

slant watching^to see that they keep to their 

 respective nests, that they no not foul their 

 nests, for if so, as when they break an egg, the 

 nest has to be made over and the eggs carefully 

 washed; in some cases, a most disgusting piece 

 of work. With the machine, this never hap- 

 pens. 



Diu-ing the incubation period the hens should 

 be dusted liberally with an insecticide, to de- 

 stroy the several varieties of lice which infest 

 their bodies. No matter how faithfully this 

 is done, the chicks are invariably lousy, and 

 have to be treated for vermin every week or 

 two during the first two months of their lives. 

 The machine does not hatch lice as well as 

 chicks, and therefore the chicks escape this, 

 at times, a fatal evil. 



Not more than 10 to 12 hens should be 

 [ hatching at one time in the same pen. It will 

 I take more time in feeding and caring for these 

 1 10 or 12 brooding hens than one machine and 

 i 12 hens will, on the average, not hatch any 

 more chicks than one machine of 120 eggs capa- 

 city. Nor is the cost of running the machine 

 very much more than the feeding of the hens. 



Any one who hatches by machine will have 

 no trouble in rearing chicks by artificial meth- 

 ods. Brooders are made to resemble the hen 

 as near as possible in providing warmth and 

 light, in conjunction with good ventilation. 

 Thermometers and instructions are provided 

 with all brooders. Watch the one and care- 

 fully follow the other, that is, if the operator 

 has had no previous evperience. After a few 

 successful trials it is time enough to go in 

 search of original methods, which are expected 

 to be improvements on those approved by the 

 maker of the brooder. If the breeding pens 

 are not now complete, they should be made so 

 immediately, for it is essential to success, and 

 only fair to the machine, that fertile eggs from 

 healthy fowls should be used in the first trial 

 of the new machine. 



Fruit growers in BritishfColumbia'should be 

 interested in knowing that the Harris Nursery 

 Co. of Penticton, have in stock a- general line of 

 fruit and ornamental trees,- small fruits and 

 shrubbery. 



A Piano for $25.00. — In every sense of the 



word the sale of somewhat used, but not badly 

 used, square pianos at Heintzman & Co.'s, 

 Limited, 115-117 King Street West, Toronto, is 

 sensational. The announcement has brought 

 this firm orders from almost every corner of the 

 Dominion. The determination is to clear out 

 every square piano in the place between now 

 and stock-taking, and surely prices like $25, 

 .?30, .•f.35, and $40 will do it— in payments of $5 

 down and 50c. a week.
