<J Perhaps you 

 have lifted the 

 lid of your great- 

 grandmother's 

 cedar chest. The 

 dainty linen 

 breathes out a 

 perfume — even 

 the fleecy blan- 

 kets show no 



touch cf age. The genuine Southern Red 

 Cedar of which our many styles of chests are made 

 is absolute protection against moths, dust and dampness. Ladies 

 who have nice clothes, hats and furs, and would keep them nice 

 without the exorbitant expense of cold storage, like these chests. 



Their garments are available at any time — yet perfectly safe. Piedmont chests last 

 longer than a lifetime. They may be handed down as heirlooms, being of such 

 beautiful and honest craftsmanship. A Piedmont in your hall or window nook lends 

 character to the whole home. Piedmont Chests are gifts of sentiment and usefulness. 



1& The Colonial Window Seat or Hall Chest, No. 58, shown, is made of J in. Solid Red Cedar. Beautifully polished, natural hand 

 rubbed finish. Fitted with strong lock, brass casters and brass lid stay. Bound with wide bands of dull finished copper. Studded 

 with old-fashioned heavy copper rivets. We have chests costing from $12 up. Low prices are possible because we manufacture 

 in the heart of the Red Cedar Section. We ship prepaid direct to you. You may examine a chest in your own home at do cost. 

 If unsatisfactory, we even pay the return freight charges. Send for catalog of chests of all styles and prices.

Successful 



Egg 

 Farming 



Among people who can afford luxuries 

 there is yreat demand for a regular supply 

 of fresh eggs. The few growers who can furnish them regu- 

 larly, winter and summer alike, get very high prices. 



The Corning Egg=BooK 



(entitled " $6.4r per Hen per Year"), tells how two men, in 

 poor health, starting four years ago with only thirty hens, made 

 from their little egg-farm a clear profit of over SI 2,000 last 

 year. It tells all about their experience, their failures, their 

 methods and how others, men or women, with good sense, care 

 and faithful work can make money in the same way. Not a 

 detail left out. 



The Coining Egg-ltook is sold in combination with the 

 Farm Journal, Philadelphia, Pa., and we have made 

 arrangements to make this 



SPECIAI^ OFFER: — For $i.oo {cash,' money order or 

 check) we will send postpaid the Corning Egg-Book and 

 the Farm Journal for two years, and American Poultry 

 Advocate two years, all for #i.oo if order is sent at once to

Double Poultry Profits 



Active fowls only are money-makers because they are 

 egg-layers. Lazy hens do not lay; they are profit-eaters. 

 Keep them active when eggs bring highest prices and 

 thus double your poultry profits. 



The Coates' Automatic Feeder is the only feeder in 

 the world that can be changed in a minute from 

 a hen feeder to a little chick feeder. Changing the 

 mesh does the trick. Will take care of little chicks 

 from a day old up.

 us your order today. Prompt shipment.

The Attractive Hollyhock 



MANY of the old-fashioned flowers that were 

 once so popular, and then for a time 

 seemed to lose their prestige, are again command- 

 ing the attention of all lovers of the beautiful. 

 Prominent among this class of flowers are the 

 single hollyhocks. Tall, stately and picturesque, 

 they stand towering far above many other flowers 

 and give to the immediate surroundings a singular 

 beauty. The double and fringed hollyhocks are 

 fine, but the old, old-fashioned single hollyhocks 

 are more beautiful than all others, are less liable 

 to disease, and do not need staking as do the 

 doubles, which are so inclined to be top-heavy. 



Stand at the entrance to a private park and look 

 for a moment over the surroundings; and then, 

 stepping down along the winding path, in the little 

 distance you behold, as a background, long rows 

 of single hollyhocks from which are reflected many 

 of the delicate tints and colors of the rainbow. You 

 linger long to look upon a plant that Nature has 

 dressed in such varied and delicate colors. 



There are times, however, when the amateur 

 may become sick at heart and, without encourage- 

 ment, might turn away in despair and forever 

 abandon the cultivation of the single hollyhock, 

 for the towering tops of his favorite flower begin 

 to wither and droop. 



Examination discloses the fact that an army 

 of borers are eating out the very heart of the stalks. 

 After experimenting I found that air-slacked lime, 

 sifted under and about the plants, furnishes a 

 fortification that the army of borers will never 

 charge upon. Then it is that hope springs anew 

 and the gloom of yesterday is swallowed up in 

 anticipation of the future, when the single holly- 

 hock may be given a permanent place in the 

 garden safely fortified by a small quantity of 

 air-slacked lime.
