MORE CHICKS— BETTER CHICKS 

 —AND FOR LESS MONEY 



The Hall Mammoth Incubators 

 hatch a larger per cent of chicks — 

 stronger, healthier chicks and at less 

 cost per chick than any other system 

 of artificial incubation. 



They embody the laws of nature 

 so perfectly that every essential to 

 a maximum per cent of hatch is cor- 

 rectly supplied. Heat, moisture 

 and air are furnished equally as well 

 as nature does. This fact accounts 

 for the vigor of the chicks when they 

 come out of the shell. The tempera- 

 ture has always been just right. 

 The moisture condition has also been 

 properly maintained at all times, and 

 the air has been pure — oxygen 

 laden. These three essentials are 

 under absolute control. 



Our free catalog " Fact & Argu- 

 ment " tells about artificial incuba- 

 tion and upon what we base our 

 assertion — "Hall Mammoth Excels 

 All." Send for it today.

Power 



For Every Purpose 



THE power needs of country places 

 are most varied. To meet them 

 successfully and economically, a 

 gasoline engine must be exceptionally well 

 designed and well built. It must be 

 capable of a wide range of work. It must 

 have an efficient governor to prevent 

 waste of fuel when running with a light 

 load. It must be able to handle sud- 

 denly-applied overloads without undue 

 strain on the mechanism of the engine. 



I H C Gasoline Engines 



are built to meet just such varied needs. If 

 your heaviest normal work requires 6 horse 

 power and your lighest only 2, a 6 horse 

 power engine will take care of both. It will use 

 only as much fuel as a 2 horse power engine when 

 doing that amount of work. It will develop, in 

 an emergency, from 10 to 20 per cent more power 

 than its rating. 



I H C engines are well designed, easy to under- 

 stand, easy to manage, and are built with scrup- 

 ulous attention to every detail of material and 

 workmanship. They give satisfactory service 

 wherever installed. They win words of praise 

 from owners in country houses everywhere. 



You can choose just the engine for your work 

 from the different sizes and styles of I H C 

 Engines, i-to 50-horse power, air-cooled or water- 

 cooled. They are built to operate on gas, gaso- 

 line, naphtha, kerosene, distillate, or alcohol.

"The Care of Trees" 



Have you any old trees for which you have a fondness that are 

 showing signs of decay, or that have broken and dangerous limbs 

 or that have decayed cavities. If so you had better have us look 

 at them. They may have decayed parts that run into the heart- 

 wood, slowly but surely killing them. We can give these trees a 

 clean bill of health by skillfully treating the decayed parts and by 

 Jjolting and bracing the limbs, and strengthen them to stand the 

 most severe storms. 



If your orchard is run down, infested with San Jose scale, cod- 

 dling moth, borers and other insect pests, if your trees were 

 stripped of foliage last year; in short, have you any trees that 

 require attention, our work embraces every line of scientific for- 

 estry, pruning, spraying, tree surgery, insect control complete in 

 every respect. (We send men anywhere.) 



Have our representative look over your trees and submit a re- 

 port of their condition to you. We offer special rates to park 

 boards, Village Improvement Societies and Boards of Trustees. 



We also carry a complete line of trees and shrubs
