BUSINESS BITS. 
Only a short time ago we did not know 
the use of many things we now enjoy, and 
would not be without for many times their 
cost. We think this applies to farmers 
who do not know the convenience and 
economy of a forge—if once used he would 
not be without one. C. A. S. Forge Works, 
Saranac, Mich., are offering forge complete 
for 55. 
Many of our poultrymen are no doubt 
looking for supplies in the way of incuba¬ 
tors, bone cutters, etc. For the conveni¬ 
ence of the readers we have arranged all 
the advertisements of these goods on the 
seventh page of the paper All represent¬ 
ed are reliable houses, and a little study 
of the advertisements wll give anyone an 
idea as to which machines will best suit 
his purpose, but a catalogue of the re¬ 
spective houses will give full and definite 
information. 
The new catalogue of Marvin Smith Co., 
Chicago, 111., of 329 pages, which has just 
been issued, contains about everything that 
a man could desire or need on the farm. 
It substantiates in a most material way 
their claim to being the largest purely 
mail-order, farm-implement house in the 
world. As to the responsibility of these 
people, we have only to say that they 
make it a rule to satisfy every customer 
dealing with them. They guarantee every 
article they sell in the most substantial 
way, and have the faculty of holding a 
man’s trade when once they get it. It will 
certainly pay you at some time of the 
year to have this catalogue at hand to 
refer to on the question of price, if noth¬ 
ing more. Write them for a copy, and 
they will take pleasure in mailing it to 
you. 
The price of apples is getting stronger, 
51.50 and $1.75 for No. 1 and No. 2 Bald¬ 
wins. Milk, 27 cents per can, subject to 
surplus, which with one producer this Sum¬ 
mer amounted to $50 in one month. Cart¬ 
age, surplus and sour milk out brings the 
price down to separator price, 23 cents for 
the month of October and higher later. In 
my opinion it is far more profitable for the 
producer to buy a separator, separate his 
own milk fresh, sell his cream and raise 
his own calves to sell at his own conveni¬ 
ence. a. f. a.

GLENN RANCH, 
Glenn Counfy, California, 
FOR SALE IN SUBDIVISIONS. 
This famous and well-known farm, the home of the 
late Dr. Glenn, “the wheat king,” has been surveyed 
ana subdivided. It is offered for sale In any sized gov¬ 
ernment subdivision at remarkably low prices, and 
in no case, it is believed, exceeding what It Is assessed 
for Countv and State taxation purposes. 
This great ranch of 40.000 acres runs up and down 
the western bank of the Sacramento River for 15 
miles. It Is located In a region that has never lacked 
an ample rainfall, and no irrigation is required. 
The river is navigable at all seasons of the year, 
and freight and trading boats make regular trips. 
The closest personal inspection of the land by pro¬ 
posed purchasers is invited. Parties desiring to look 
at the land should go to Chico, California. 
For further particulars and for maps, showing the 
subdivisions and prices per acre, address personally 
or by letter,

This new, revised and enlarged edition of what lias always been recog¬ 
nized as the standard work on poultry, Is nearly one-third larger than any 
previous edition, and has been fully brought up to the requirements of the 
present day. The ways and means by which eggs or poultrj can be grown

treatment, feeding and care for eggs, or for meat, building coops and houses, 
caponizing, marketing, warfare against pests, raising waterfowl and orna¬ 
mental poultry, are described at length. This great work was never before 
sold for less than gI in cloth, but we have printed an enormous edition so we 
can make the wonderful offer below. Everybody knows the sterling merit 
of the great weekly American Agriculturist (formerly monthly). It is now 
published in three editions. You get the western edition (Orange Judd
