ing themselves to poultrv plants great and 

 small. 



In "Excelsior" and "Wooden Hen" Incuba- 

 tors the principles of heat, moisture and ven- 

 tilation, so vital to the development of healthy 

 chicks, have been perfectly worked out. Regu- 

 lation of the heat, which may be supplied by 

 kerosene, gas or electricity, is practically auto- 

 matic, reducing to almost nothing the atten- 

 tion required to keep the machine going. 



"Excelsior" and "Wooden Hen" Incuba- 

 tors and Brooders are illustrated and described 

 in attractive catalogues and literature issued 

 by the manufacturer, Geo. H. Stahl, Box C i, 

 Quincy, III., who will gladly mail same to 

 any address upon request. 



Unwise Economy. 



Oftentimes farmers save a mite by buying 

 nursery stock of some traveling agent or ir- 

 responsible mail-order dealer; but there is a 

 big risk in doing that. Fruiting time may 

 bring great disappointment. It is better to 

 order nursery stock of a well established nur- 

 seryman. W. N. Scarff, New Castle, Ohio, 

 has been before the fruitgrowers of the coun- 

 try for years and has established a reputa- 

 tion. 



"Scarff Bearing Strains" of blackberries and 

 small fruits earn $300 or more per acre. 



If you write for Mr. Scarff's catalog and 

 ask him, he will enclose a well-rooted, vigor- 

 ous, small-fruit plant free. Please mention 

 the American Bee Journal also when writing. 



A Generous Offer. 



The special attention of our readers is 

 called to the very liberal offer on another 

 page in this issue, of the Hawkins Publishing 

 Co., who publish that excellent poultry paper, 

 *' Poultry Husbandry." Arrangements have

 excellent papers for the farm whereby the 

 four papers may be had for one year together 

 with "Chick Culture," a very valuable book 

 on poultry-raising by Dr. A. A. Brigham, all 

 for one dollar. Read the advertisement clear 

 through, for the offer will certainly interest 

 you. And when sending your order, please 

 mention the American Bee Journal.
