SCOTT’S EMULSION 
is more than a fat food. 
There is no animal fat 
that compares with it in 
nourishing and building 
up the wasted, emaciated 
body. That is why chil¬ 
dren and anasmic girls 
thrive and grow fat upon 
it. That is why persons 
with consumptive tenden¬ 
cies gain flesh and 
strength enough to check 
the progress of the dis¬ 
ease.

It gives the prices paid for eggs and poultry 
week by week for the past three years. It 
tells how and when a hatch taken off each 
week in the year could be most profitably 
marketed. It shows how you can make 82.00 
on a large winter roaster. It tells what 
profits can be made with each of the popu- 
lay breeds, and the costs of production. 
I have helped thousands to make money 
with poultry. My Model Incubators and 
brooders are used on the money-making 
tarms. It is my business to teach those who 
use them to do so profitably. Whether your 
needs are small or large, I will furnish with¬

plete equipment that will insure success 
without your spending a dollar uselessly,

WHY HENS DON'T LAY. 
O. ,W. Mapes’ article on page 47 is de¬ 
cidedly interesting. That 1,372 hens and 
pullets in good health fed three times a 
day with an abundance of meat in the 
ration, did not lay an egg for six days in 
succession, is simply wonderful. It is 
twelve years since I began keeping hens 
on this farm; and the first Winter we 
had only 17 hens, but they did not miss a 
day all Winter, though three or four days 
we got only one egg. In the whole 12 
years there has never been a day when 
we did not get an egg. I should be sur¬ 
prised, indeed, to go around my coops and 
not find an egg; it would be almost in¬ 
credible, and I have less than one-third as 
many fowls. Mr. Mapes says: “Now, 
Brothers Cosgrove, Bildad, Zophar and 
Eliphaz, what is the matter?” The three 
last named gentlemen may understand just 
“what’s the matter,” but “Brother Cos¬ 
grove” freely admits that he doesn’t. 
Some very singular things happen in 
the poultry world. Here is one. An ex¬ 
perienced poultryman, editor of one of the 
best poultry magazines in the country, re¬ 
lates in a recent number that there was a 
certain pen in which his Jiens would not 
lay. Removing them to another coop, he 
put in the hens from a pen that were lay¬ 
ing remarkably well. These at once began 
to drop off and soon ceased laying. Taking 
this second lot out, he put back the first 
lot which were now laying finely, and 
they stopped laying at once. He could 
not see any possible reason for it. but 
finally had to submit to the fact that they 
simply would not lay in that pen. Mr. 
White once said in The R. N.-Y. that “a 
hen does not have to lay if she doesn’t 
want to.” Most people go to work on 
the theory that they can compel the hens 
to lay. and feel dreadfully “put out” when 
they don’t succeed. I have an idea that 
the personality of the attendant has more 
influence than many would think. The 
hens ought to feel contented and happy 
in his or her presence. Doubtless that 
is why some women are so successful with 
poultry. Their gentle and kindly ways in¬ 
vite the confidence of the birds. I have 
pullets that when on the nest laying will 
begin to talk to me as soon as I come in 
the coop, and continue to talk as I ap¬ 
proach and pat them on the back and talk 
to them, and I admit that their conversa¬ 
tion gives me more pleasure than that of 
some humans I occasionally hear. Not the 
least effort to get away, not the ruffling 
of a feather, but an evident pleasure in 
my company, manifested by the contented 
tone of their talk. 
I have a boy living with me who is a 
born poultryman; he knows nearly every 
hen on the farm, can tell which rooster 
is crowing by the sound, and can catch 
any one I want with surprising ease. A 
few days ago he caught a young cockerel 
I was going to kill and have stuffed and 
roasted for next day’s dinner. He was 
following' me to the chopping block with 
the bird in his hands and I saw him bend 
his head down and press the bird against 
his face and heard him say to it. “Don’t 
cry, you will be an angel by and by.” 
Well, I was almost tempted to put the 
bird back in the flock. Now, I am afraid 
I haven’t been of the least help to Brother 
Mapes, but I want to say that without 
doubt his article was comforting to a good 
many beginners whose hens did not lay, 
and who, perhaps, were getting discour¬ 
aged. Now they will see that the same 
tjiing happens to the best poultrymen, 
and they will be encouraged to keep on.

Mr. Nuwed: “Why did you discharge 
the cook, dearest?” Mrs. Nuwed: “She 
was incompetent, darling. I told her to 
make a few sweetbreads for tea and she 
didn’t know how.”—Cleveland Leader. 
“I think that the people who have 
taken this affair in hand have made you 
sincerely repent.” “Repent!” exclaimed 
the man who had been involved in ques¬ 
tionable finance. “It’s worse than that. 
They made me return some of the 
money!”—Washington Star.

Feed Dr. Hess 
Poultry Pan-a-ce-a accord¬ 
ing to directions to one lot of hens, 
keeping an equal number on the 
same feed, omitting the Pan-a-ce-a, and 
make a careful account in the egg-book of 
the eggs produced by each lot. If the Pan-a-ce-a 
fed hens do not show a big profit on the investment, 
return the empty package and your money will be re¬ 
funded. Pan-a-ce-a acts directly on the organs of diges¬ 
tion; it supplies iron for the blood, cleanses the liver 
arouses the egg-producing organs, reddens the comb and 
brightens the feathers; in fact, it produces eggs in the only 
reasonable way without stimulants that are injurious
