HATCH CHICKS THAT LIVE. 
The efforts of the leading incubator experts 
of the country in the employ of the Cyphers In¬ 
cubator Company in the past few years have 
been directed largely toward perfecting means 
that will Insure larger, stronger, healthier, more 
vigorous chicks with the result that the new 1906- 
Pattern Standard Cyphers Incubator, which has 
made a phenomenal record—not only In the large 
percentage of eggs hatched, but in the uniformity 
of the hatches. The secret of its success is ex¬ 
plained by the provisions made for giving the 
embryo in the egg a larger supply of oxygen, 
efTected by giving the egg chamber more com¬ 
plete ventilation, and at the same time avoiding 
all excessive evaporation of the moisture in the 
eeea. 
The testimony of leading Government Experi¬ 
ment Stations, prominent experts, leading fan¬ 
ciers and the larger commercial plants to the 
success of the new pattern, is truly remarkable. 
We are sure that our folks will want to inves¬ 
tigate the claims made for this new pattern, 
especially as they are advanced by so reliable 
and conservative an institution as the Cyphers 
Incubator Co. Full particulars are given In the 
Company’s new catalogue, a handsome book of 
228 pages 8 x 11 , containing seven special chap¬ 
ters on poultry culture and 500 fine Illustrations. 
Besides incubators and brooders it catalogues 
more than 70 good articles required by poultry 
keepers. It’s a book worth having. It will be 
sent free if you say you are one of the Farm 
Journal folks and send along the address of two

PUBLISHER’S DESK. 
On January 13 a little advertisement of 
Ferd Sudow, Poughkeepsie, N. Y., ap¬ 
peared in The R. N.-Y. under the title 
of United States Pheasantry. It was to 
run three months, and was paid in ad¬ 
vance. S. L. Carpenter & Son. of Clear 
Lake, Iowa, wrote promptly that they 
had some time ago seen the advertise¬ 
ment in a poultry paper, and sent the 
money for three settings of eggs. One 
setting reached them all broken except 
one egg. After complaint one more set¬ 
ting reached them, all rotten. Future 
letters were unanswered, and the other 
settings never reached them. That was 
the substance of the complaint, but at 
the same time Mr. Carpenter wrote as 
follows: 
Now we do not want to cause any hard 
feeling on your part towards him, but the 
above are the facts of the treatment we re¬ 
ceived at his hands. He got our money, we 
got the experience. 
We wrote Mr. Sudow, calling his at¬ 
tention to the complaint, and asking him 
kindly to look the matter up. His reply 
was the worst tirade of abuse and pro¬ 
fanity that ever reached us through the 
mails. It is unprintable. We promptly 
cancelled the advertising and returned 
Mr. Sudow’s money. We do not want to 
be responsible for any man with his fa¬ 
cility in the use of bad language. 
The Government report and other in¬ 
dications of farm prosperity have evi¬ 
dently started promoters of various kinds 
after the farmer’s surplus profits. We 
are getting an average of at least one in¬ 
quiry a day about these investment 
schemes. We have not yet seen one that 
we could approve. The last one is about 
wireless telegraphy, a company organized 
for nearly $7,000,000. Just figure up what 
portion of such a company you would 
own when you put your money into it, 
after the broker has taken out his com¬ 
mission. We can only repeat previous 
advice. Leave them alone. 
N. B. Johnson & Co., Kansas City. Mo., 
have apparently adopted the Philadelphia 
idea of the real estate business. They 
will list your farm for sale if you pay 
them an advance cash fee for doing so. 
Don’t. 
One of the easy opportunities to get 
rich quick comes through a Pennsylvania 
subscriber in the form of an offer by a 
Philadelphia broker to sell stock in a so- 
called real estate school of Chicago at 
80 per cent of face value. The stock is 
to pay 12 per cent annually, and the divi¬ 
dends to be paid monthly with a prospect 
of extra dividends as profits warrant. 
One might well wonder why people who 
are capable of making a business pay 12 
per cent are anxious to sell it at 80 cents 
on the dollar, and pay a broker for so 
doing besides. A stable stock paying 12 
per cent is worth over two hundred per 
cent on the face value. This prospectus 
does not say that there is a dollar of 
assets, nor does it even think it worth 
while to say what the amount of capital 
stock is. It would probably be a useless 
waste of ink and space to do so. 
The following letter is from the county 
clerk’s office in one of the best agricul¬ 
tural counties of New York State: 
Enclosed please find remittance for which 
send The R. N.-Y. to name inclosed. This 
makes a half-dozen subscribers at least that 
I have been instrumental In getting for you. 
In the county offices here we have about 15 
or 16 employees, and nine of them are sub¬ 
scribers of The R. N.-Y. Two or three own 
farms, but the rest are just “villagers.” The 
paper appeals to me for its originality; never 
anything credited “exchange," or clipped from 
other papers. o. l. m. 
New York. 
It is not subscribers alone who ap¬ 
preciate the originality of The R. N.-Y. 
Some of the editors of other farm papers 
appreciate it, though they are not so 
willing to acknowledge it. The majority 
of editors who reprint from The R. N.-Y. 
rive ample credit for them; but we have 
one notorious and boastful offender who 
not only helps himself, but emphasizes the 
theft by rewriting the matter and dis¬ 
guising it in such a way as to make it 
appear his own. In newspaper circles this 
is regarded as the meanest sort of theft, 
and if one lived in his neighborhood the 
tendency would be to keep the chicken 
coop locked. 
Now listen to this western reader: 
Accept my thanks for the free copy of “The 
Farmer’s Garden.” which I received from you 
some days ago. By good judgment you have 
selected and published the experience of the 
best farm gardeners with your own ideas, 
and thus given us the most practical little 
work on gardening now in print. Most 
farmers in this part of Iowa are poor, and 
living on rented farms, but I shall make an 
effort to induce some of them to subscribe 
for The R. N.-Y. J- B - 
Iowa. 
That letter sums up the merits of the 
new gardening book. It will be worth 
money for everyone who reads it care¬ 
fully. Yours is here all ready for you. 
It will go to you the very day your re¬ 
newal is received here. Send renewal 
to-day; we will send the book to-morrow. 
From a practical standpoint hens are simply egg machines. They take 
the feed, convert it, and lay the eggs. But like every other kind of ma¬ 
chine, to do the most work, the hen must be in perfect order The diges¬ 
tive apparatus is the important factor in egg production. Many poultrymen 
feed an abundance of good albuminous food such as should produce a pro¬ 
fitable egg yield, but if the digestion is impaired and the egg-organs dor¬ 
mant, no amount of food will produce the desired results. But give the 
fowls a tonic to increase the digestion, a little iron for the blood, and regu¬ 
late the system generally, toning up the egg-organs and you are certain to 
get eggs even in the coldest weather.

winter time, you must supply material that goes to make 
eggs before you can expect them to lay.
