A BIO BOO YIELD. 
Broome County, N. Y. Business Hens. 
The local papers reported a good egg yield 
from the hens at the Broome Co.. N. Y., 
Almshouse, near Binghamton. W. A. Pol¬ 
lard, the keeper, furnishes us with the fol¬ 
lowing account. 
1 was appointed keeper of the Broome 
County Almshouse, and commenced my 
duties as such March 1, 1904. I had 
l ot been here long before I saw many 
things in the line of farming that I 
thought I could improve on, and poul¬ 
try was one of them. 1 found here 
about 75 hens of uncertain age, and a 
mixture of everything, and if any eggs 
were wanted in the Winter they had to be 
purchased in the markets. I made the 
remark to the attendants that if we could 
not produce what eggs we wanted in 
Winter I would pay for them out of my 
salary. (I have not had to buy any.) 
After trying several different breeds of 
poultry for eggs I concluded that noth¬ 
ing would beat the White Leghorns, and 
I am convinced that I was right. Soon 
after the first of May I was induced to 
try a 120-egg incubator. Our engineer, 
Mr. Gaffney, took charge of the hatching. 
We ran it a few days to get the hang of 
it, and on May 15 we put 112 eggs in 
it; on the sixth day we tested them, and 
found that we only had 95 fertile eggs. 
On the eighteenth day we tested them 
again, and found a few that we thought 
doubtful. On the twentieth day they 
commenced to hatch, and at the end of 
the twenty-first clay we had 74 smart 
chickens. We followed the directions as 
closely as possible. However, if we 
could have got the shells out of the way 
without opening the incubator I think we 
would have had 10 or 15 more chickens, 
but we were well pleased with the re¬ 
sult, and concluded to try it again. We 
cleaned and refilled the machine and ran 
it same as before; 67 were the result of 
the second hatch, 141 chickens out of 
ISO eggs, and only lost four in raising 
them. I kept these chickens entirely 
away from the old hens, and the first of 
September I built a new henhouse 16 x 
40, cement floor, six windows on the 
south side. About the middle of the same 
month, we put the 58 pullets (as that was 
all we got out of 137) into the new 
quarters. They were about half grown 
at that time. They have not been out to 
exceed fifteen days since then. On No¬ 
vember 1 we got the first egg; November 
3 we got another. They have increased 
from that time to the present. I kept no 
account of the eggs they laid in Novem¬ 
ber, but from the first of December we 
have kept a daily record. We lost one 
pullet in December; that left us with only 
57. They laid 57 dozen in the month of 
December and 91j/j dozen in January, an 
average of nearly 20 eggs per hen in the 
month of January. If all the eggs they 
laid during the past three months had 
been sold at the retail price in this city 
they would have brought $67. 
We have an average of 150 people in 
this institution, and have had all the eggs 
necessary, and sold 70 dozen. I pur¬ 
chased a No. 7'/ 2 bone cutter to com¬ 
mence with, and our success is due to 
green cut bone and a temperature of 
from 40 to 50 degrees in the henhouse. 
We keep the house clean, plenty of litter, 
a dust bath, air-slaked lime under the 
roosts changed every week; grit, oyster 
shells, cabbage for green feed, fresh 
water, skim-milk, cracked corn, and oats 
that they have to work for in the litter; 
fresh green cut bone, a little every day. 
Our institution is heated by steam, and 
We put a few coils of pipe in the hen¬ 
house, and it is certainly a great thing 
for Winter eggs. In the Fall I killed off 
every fowl on the farm but the White 
Leghorns. For Winter layers there is 
nothing, in my estimation, that will beat 
Single Comb White Leghorns, and June 
is the right time to hatch them for Win¬ 
ter layers. If you want Winter eggs 
your hens must not be neglected. We 
try to make the conditions as near like 
Summer as possible, w, a, rQLLAun,

WOMEN WLOYf; 
CAN MOT nrc'Ltllfe 
Backed up by over 
a third of a century 
of remarkable and uni¬ 
form cures, a record, 
such as no other 
remedy for the 
diseases and 
.weaknesses pe¬ 
culiar to women 
ever attained, the proprietors and makers 
Of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription now 
feel fully warranted in offering to pay $500 
in legal money of the United States for 
any case of Leucorrhea, Female Weakness, 
Prolapsus, or Falling of Womb, which they 
cannot cure. All they ask is a fair and 
reasonable trial of their means of cure. 
No other medicine than Dr. Pierce’s Fa¬ 
vorite Prescription could possibly "win 
out,” as the saying goes, on such a proposi¬ 
tion; but they know whereof they speak. 
They have the most remarkable record of 
cures made by this world-famed remedy 
ever placed to the credit of any prepara¬ 
tion especially designed for the cure of 
woman’s peculiar ailments. This wonder¬ 
ful remedy, therefore, stands absolutely 
alone as the only one possessed of such 
unrivaled properties as to fully warrant its 
makers in publishing the remarkable offer 
above made in the utmost good faith. 
"A short time ago I was almost dead with 
nervous prostration, general debility and female 
weakness,” writes Mrs. Loretto Webster, of 317 
Virginia Ave., Lexington, Ky., Worthy Treasur¬ 
er, Independent Order of Good Templars, " Dr. 
Fierce’s Favorite Prescription was recommend¬ 
ed to me as a sure cure, and I found this to be 
true, for I obtained splendid results, securing 
fine health. Women ought to be grateful to 
think there Is one safe and sure cure offered to 
them for their troubles. I advise every sick 
and suffering woman to stop spending money 
and wasting time with doctors' prescriptions, 
when a few bottles of your remedy is sure to 
cure. I am the happy mother of two children, 
boy aged sixteen, and girl, eight years.” 
Do not permit the dealer to insult your 
intelligence by suggesting some other com¬ 
pound which he recommends as "just a 3 
good,” because he makes it himself. Dr. 
Pierce’s Favorite Prescription has stood 
the test of time and experience. Thou¬ 
sands speak well of it—because thousand# 
have been cured bv it.

Money Can’t Buy 
A Better Incubator than the 
OLD RELIABLE 
SURE HATCH 
Read the Reasons—Here are Some 
The Sure Hatch is built of straight grained 
California Redwood, the best material known for 
incubators. California Redwood will not Bhrink 
or swell, warp or crack—other woods will. 
The Sure Hatch Water Heater has 138 square 
Inches of heating surface—others from 15 to 30 
sq.'in. Abundant Heating 
surface is absolutely 
essential to econ¬ 
omy of operation. 
The Sure Hatch 
Ventilator keeps 
pure, warm air in 
circulation among 
the eggs all the 
time. Other “venti¬ 
lators ” skim off the 
air from top of egg 
chamber, leaving 
eggs surrounded 
with foul air icarbonic acid gas.l 
The Sure Hutch Regulators are automatic and 
keep the temperature at the proper degree. You 
don’t have to "stand guard” over the regulator to 
be sure it regulates. Sure Hutch Egg Chambers 
are asbestos lined. 
Tens of thousands of Sure Hatch Incubators are 
hatching more chickg to the 100 eggs that live and 
grow than any other incubator made. Think of 
this before you buy. 
The Sure Hatch terms are exceptionally liberal 
—60 days trial, freight prepaid east of Rocky 
Mountains, and money back if not satisfactory. 
The Sure Hatch $100,000 Guarantee, good for 
five years from dute of purchase, is our own pledge 
of good faith.
