We are in receipt of the Sure Hatch In¬ 
cubator Company’s fifth annual catalogue. 
It is a book of 166 pages, over 200 illustra¬ 
tions, and contains a vast amount of poul¬ 
try Information, plans for poultry houses, 
yards, etc., chapters on practical poultry- 
raising, and how to make money on a small 
investment, etc. 
This is the year for farmers to grind 
corn and cobs for feeding purposes. It has 
been quite clearly demonstrated at a num¬ 
ber of the experiment stations that 70 
pounds of corn and cob meal has, when 
fed to hogs, about the same feeding value 
as 70 pounds of pure cornmeal. Experi¬ 
ments are not so conclusive when fed to 
cattle, but many practical farmers have 
found in the past, even when corn was 
cheap, that cattle fed on corn and cob 
meal, with little or no other roughness, 
made remarkable gains. Whether it pays 
to grind corn and cob meal even under 
this showing depends largely on the price 
of corn. This year corn is high, and farm¬ 
ers cannot afford to pay toll. Get a good 
gp'inder and do your neighbors’ grrinding 
also. 
An ice crop has become just about as 
much of a necessity to the modern farmer 
and dairyman as his hay or grain crops. 
But how many invest in suitable ice tools? 
When the ice is just right it should be har¬ 
vested in a hurry, and then is the advan¬ 
tage of having at hand a first-class plow, 
such as the Ice King, made by Wm. F. 
Wood & Co., Arlington, Mass. Catalogue, 
“How to Harvest Ice,” free. 
B. H. Greider, the well-known poultry- 
man, of Florin, Pa., is breeding 60 varieties 
of poultry to a very high standard of ex¬ 
cellence. Mr. Greider’s catalogue for the 
year 1902 is now ready for distribution. 
It is illustrated in colors and describes all 
of his varieties of prize-winning poultry, 
and gives a great deal of Interesting and 
valuable information on poultry topics. It 
is worth a great deal more than the 10 
cents in silver or stamps asked for it. Ad¬ 
dress B. H. Greider, Florin, Pa. 
In regard to the peach orchard of the 
Vermont man, page 660, the one which does 
not bear, let me suggest that he treats it 
too well. Let him try it in sod for awhile. 
At our town fair, this Fall, fine peaches 
were exhibited, grown on one of the hills 
here. We are much farther north than 
he, and I think the tree or trees are not 
cultivated. o. s paine.

Never let a little child’s cold “run or.” There Is
