ducks and 2,000 chickens have been fat¬

or expensive about the place, it is simply 
a small farm with a small spring brook 
turned into a chicken yard. The uiiterent 
hatches are kept in runs by themselves. 
The runs are thickly graveled and occa 
sionally sprinkled with a weak solution ol 
sulphuric acid. The floors of the build.ng 
where they run lor shelter and wlme young

and made to grow as much as possible, the 
ducks in the meantime not allowed to swim 
in the water but kept fully supplied for 
drink. During the last 10 days they are 
kept in small runs, and the ducks supplied 
with a bath of fresh water. Only 10 days 
aie allowed for fattening. Mr. Steele says 
that it is easy enough to fatten any fowl; 
after that they rather lose than gain for 
a while. They use eight large Star incu¬ 
bators. Mr. Steele intimates that he 
hatches SO per cent of fertile eggs, and 
rarely loses more than 10 to 15 per cent of 
the hatch. The entire production is taken 
up by local trade, and they seldom have 
enough to supply it. They find greater 
profit in ducks than in chicken broilers.

Book Bulletin. 
Economic Entomology, by Prof. J. B. 
Smith; 481 pages; fully illustrated. A book 
of great value to the farmer and fruit 
grower, giving in convenient form much 
information with regard to insects, their 
structure, classification, habits, and prac¬ 
tical methods of fighting them. Price, 
postpaid, $2.60. 
Practical Forestry, by John Gifford. 
In this country we are only gradually 
awakening to the need of preserving and 
replanting our forests. It is difficult to 
over-rate the value of the forest to the 
farmer, and the study of tree culture 
should be as interesting to the man who 
has only a wood lot, as to one responsible 
for extensive forest areas. Mr. Gifford’s 
book deals with woodland problems in a 
very interesting manner, describing the 
building up of forests, their preservation, 
the uses of trees, etc. The book contains 
2S4 pages, and numerous illustrations; it 
should form a valuable addition to a rural 
library. D. Appleton & Co., New York, are 
its publishers; price $ 1.20 net; postage 12 
cents additional. 
always saves time and money. It often 
saves lives. The price is $2 alone, but

“A Fifty Year Roof” is the title of a 
book issued by the American Tin Plate 
Company for general distribution. It treats 
incidentally of M F Roofing Tin, the Nor¬ 
ristown New Method ternes and U. S. 
Eagle ternes; but the greater part of its 
4S pages is devoted to technical informa¬ 
tion that every house builder, designer, 
owner or renter should have at hand at all 
times. One chapter, “How to Construct a 
Tin Roof,” contains many suggestions of 
inestimable value. Anybody who lives in 
a house or helps to make houses would be 
benefited by reading “A Fifty Year Roof,” 
and may have a copy free by sending ad¬ 
dress to W. C. Cronemeyer, Agent Ameri¬ 
can Tin Plate Company, 1211 Carnegie

The Universal bean harvester is manu¬ 
factured by Wiard Plow Co., of Batavia, 
N. Y. It is just such a machine as the 
bean-grower needs. It will pull two rows 
of beans, separating all dirt, etc., and leave 
the beans in one long continuous row as 
fast as a team will walk. It makes it pos¬ 
sible for the farmer to harvest his entire 
crop at the particular time when the beans 
and the weather are in the best possible 
condition. Write for special circulars, 
catalogues etc.
