one  could  need.  Price  $13.55  for  240  Egg  Capacity,  T  n 
smaller  size  $9.40,  and  you  couldn't  get  one  that  ® 
would  hatch  chickens  better  if  you  paid  $100.  lou  don  t  want 
your  Incubator  as 
a  piece  of  furniture,  or  a  piece  of  show-maehinery,  and  you  can  do 
better  by  savings  the  cost  of  fine  cabinet  work  and  burnished  metal 
on  your  Incubator  and  putting  it  into  real  furniture  for  the.  house.

Lowest  prices  on  every  desired  grade 
If  you  want  to  have  all  the  genuine  conveniences,  that  really 
play  a  part  in  operating  an  Incubator  —  not  frills  and  furbelows, 
mind  you,  but  hard-f.sted  helps— why,  in  this  book  you  can  see  just 
such  an  Incubator— the  Maynard  Standard— as  complete  as  you  want 
it— and  the  price — is  ju3t  $14.95  for  250  Egg  Capacity,  $11.25  for  150 
Egg  Capacity,  and  $8.G0  for  80  Egg  Capacity!  Think  of  it! 
And  remember,  all  the  time,  every  one  of  these  Maynard  Incuba¬ 
tors,  whether  you  buy  the  smallest  and  simplest  one  at  $4.80,  or  the 
largest  and  most  convenient  one  at  $14.95,  is  guaranteed  to  hatch 
every  hatehable  egg — the  only  difference  being  in  the  degree  of 
personal  attention  and  labor  required  in  operation,  and  in  the  egg 
capacity.  And  when  you  can  buy  an  Incubator  just  suited  to  your 
real  requirements  at  such  prices—

Facts— solid,  sound  facts  — naked,  unvarnished  facts— is 
what  this  new  book  on  Incubators  gives  you.  Send  no  money, 
make  no  obligation  —  the  book  is  free  if  you  are  interested 
in  buying  an  incubator  and  want  to  pay  only  for  what  will 
hatch  chickens,  and  not  for  fuss  and  fol-de-rol! 
The  Chai’les  William  Stores  have  cut  the  dead  limbs  clear 
off  this  incubator  question  for  you,  and  laid  it  out  bare— on 
a  straight-fact  basis. 
This  book  tells  you  first  just  how  little  you  can  get  along 
with  in  an  Incubator  in  order  to  hatch  out  your  eggs  suc¬ 
cessfully  ;  shows  you  in  clear  illustrations  and  complete 
specifications,  Incubators  that  will  do  it,  and  quotes  you 
prices  on  them  lower  than  you  ever  saw  such  Incubators 
quoted  at  before.  Think  of  this— a 
150  Egg  Incubator,  $5.42 
—guaranteed  to  do  the  work  or  you  get  your  money  back — 
strong,  reliable,  practical,  economical  in  operation— think 
of  that,  and  you  get  an  idea  of  what  revelations  this  book 
shows  you!  But  that  is  not  all— this  new  incubator  book 
then  goes  on  to  show  you  from  the  ground  up  w*hat  extra 
points  about  an  Incubator  really  add  to  its  value— not  orna¬ 
ments  or  frills;  but  labor  savers.  First  comes  the  addition 
of  hot-water  heat,  saving  part  of  the  work  of  watching  your 
heating  system,  and  saving  part  of  the  risk  to  your  eggs  if 
you  ever  should  let  your  burners  run  out 
of  fuel.  Here  again  you  get  an  inkling  Page  7 
of  the  sensational  facts  in  this  book,  *  .  . 
when  we  tell  you  that  it  shows  you  incubator  iuar«m.*d

GRAIN 
Speculation  and  bad  crop  reports  have 
again  advanced  wheat,  which  has  sold 
seven  cents  above  last  week.  The  cold 
weather  on  bare  fields  in  the  Winter 
wheat  belt,  has  apparently  damaged  a 
rather  large  area,  judging  from  the  results 
iu  previous  years.  The  high  prices  have 
slackened  export  demand,  Broombnll 
figures  that  Australia  and  Argei.tina  will 
ship  120.000,000  bushels  to  Europe,  and 
that  about  400,000.000  will  be  required 
from  North  America.  On  this  basis  Can¬ 
ada  and  the  United  States  have  a  rather 
large  surplus  over  home  and  export  de¬ 
mand.

White  Diarrhoea  in  Breeding  Stock 
Last  Spring  I  purchased  100  eggs 
from  a  poultry  man.  hatching  75  chicks 
from  the  eggs.  When  five  days  old  they 
commenced  dying  with  white  diarrhoea. 
I  raised  15  out  of  the  lot.  which  have 
grown  nicely.  I  would  like  to  breed  from 
them  this  Spring.  Is  there  any  chance  of 
raising  chicks  free  from  the  diarrhoea? 
Is  there  anything  1  can  give  pullets,  or 
use  on  the  eggs,  that  will  surely  pre¬ 
vent  trouble  in  the  young  chicks? 
New  Jersey.  u.  A.  s. 
If  these  chicks  had  true  “white 
diarrhoea.”  as  the  great  mortality  in  this 
flock  would  make  it  seem  probable,  the 
survivors  should  by  no  means  be  used  as 
breeders.  The  germs  of  Ibis  disease  are 
carried  in  the  ovary  of  infected  hens, 
such  hens  often  surviving  an  attack  in 
early  life,  and  arc  transmitted  to  the 
progeny  of  these  hens  through  the  medium 
of  the  yolk  of  the  egg.  Such  hens  are 
termed  “carriers”  and  may  keep  up  the 
infection  in  a  flock  indefinitely.  The 
germs  of  white  diarrhoea  are  found  in 
the  yolks  of  infected  eggs :  there  is,  con- 
sequently,  no  way  of  killing  or  removing 
them  and  there  is  no  known  way  to  rid 
mature  fowls  of  the  infection.  Breed 
only  from  flocks  known  to  be  free  from 
this  very  serious  trouble.  M.  B.  D. 
“James,  my  lud,”  said  the  grocer  to 
his  new  assistaut,  “who  bought  that 
moldy  cheese  today?”  “Mrs.  Brown, 
sir,”  was  the  youth’s  reply.  “And  the 
stale  loaf  we  could  not  sell  last  night?” 
“Mrs.  Brown,  sir.”  “Where’s  that  lump 
of  rancid  bitttcr  that  the  baker  re¬ 
fused?"  “Mrs.  Browu  bought  it  cheap, 
sir,”  was  the  answer.  “And  the  six  eggs 
we  could  not  sell  a  week  since?”  “Mrs. 
Brown.  Are  you  ill,  sir?”  asked  James, 
as  the  grocer  turned  green  and  groaned. 
“No.  no;  only  I’m  going  to  tea  at  Brown’s 
tonight,”  replied  the  unhappy  man  as  he 
wiped  the  perspiration  from  his  face  and 
sank  into  a  chair. — Chicago  Herald.
