Have You Astlima in Any Form 



Medical Science at last reports a positive cure for 

 Asthma in every form in the wonderful Kola Plant, a 

 new botanic discovery found on the Congo River, West 

 Africa. Its cures are really marvelous. Rev. J. L. 

 CombS; of Martinsburg, W. Va., writes that it cured him 

 of Asthma of hfty years' standing, and Hon. L. G. Clute, 

 of Greeley. Iowa, testifies that for three years he had to 

 sleep propped up in, a chair, being unable to lie down 

 night or day from Asthma ^ The Kola Plant cured him 

 at once. To make the matter sure, these and hundreds 

 of other cures are sworn to before a notary public. To 

 prove to you beyond doubt it3 wonderful curative 

 power, the Kola Importing Co., No. IKU Broadway. New 

 York, will send a large case of the Kola Compound free 

 by mail to every reader of Ho?ie and Flowers who 

 suffers from any form of Asthma. All they ask in return 

 is that when cured yourself you will tell your neighbors 

 about it. Send your name and address on a postal card, 

 and they will send you a large case by mail free. It costs 

 yuu nothing, and you should surely try it. 



Vaccinating Bugs. 



The science of medicine has reached wonderful per- 

 fection. The microbe theory in certain diseases has been 

 proven true beyond doubt. The inoculation of chintz 

 bugs tv ith the microbes of contagious diseases, in order 

 that epidemics may spread among the little pests, is a 

 pri ctical method now in use. Dr. D. M. Bye, the emi- 

 nent specialist for cancer, of Indianapolis, Inri.. says 

 that dosing with medicines, cutting with knives or 

 hurningwith plasters to cure cancer is no longer to be 

 recognized, but that he has discovered a combination 

 of soothing balmy oils which kill the cancer microbes 

 and cure the most malignant cases. Those who read 

 this will confer a great favor by cutting it out and send- 

 ing it to a friend who is afflicted. Book sent free, giving 

 particulars and prices of Oils. Address Dr. D, M. Bye

A Field of Pencilaria. 



This new fodder plant seems to be attracting univer- 

 sal attention, and the crop is truly wonderful, as it 

 yields from three to seven cuttings per year from one 

 sowing and has produced 95 tons of green fodder per 

 acre from three cuttings in a carefully weighed test. 

 Knowing that many of our readers will want to try it. 

 we have arranged with the introducers, the Iowa .Seed 

 Co., of Des Moines, Iowa, tosenda small sample (suffi- 

 cient to plant a row 100 feet long> free to any one who 

 wishes it. Be' sure to mention Home akd Flowebs in 

 writing them. 



Incubators vs. Hens. ^ 



The success of the incubator and brooder has created 

 an industry that has rapidly grown to large proportions. 

 Easily the leaders in this enterprise is the George Ertel 

 Company, of Quincy, 111., the makers of the celebrated 

 Victor Incubator. An idea of the magnititde of their 

 business can be formed from the statement that in one 

 day of February, 1902, they made the enormous ship- 

 ment of five carloads of Victors, covering orders from 

 every part of the world. 



About Successful Incubators. 



The Successful Incubator has played a most important 

 part in establishing what might be called the "modern 

 idea" in the poultry business. Both the Incubator and 

 Brooder are typical of all that is best for hatching and 

 raising chicks. Other machines contain in substance 

 some of the valuable features of the Successful.
