Borely: ‘ I got rather a cool recep¬

night, but they warmed up finally. Why,

“That was because some one took three

The minister had just been giving the 
class a lesson on the Prodigal Son. 
At the finish, to test what attention 
had been paid to his teaching, he asked: 
“Who was sorry that the Prodigal had

“The fatted calf!”—Home Herald. 
I hold it true, with him who sings,

“S-s-s-s-sus-say, ma,” stammered 
Bobby, through the suds, as his mother 
scrubbed and scrubbed him. “I guess 
you want to get rid o’ me, don’t you ?” 
“Why, no, Bobby dear,” replied his 
mother. “Whatever put such an idea 
as that in your mind?” “Oh, nothin’,” 
said Bobby. “Only it seems to me you’re

Sandy Macdougall, the storekeeper 
at Bilbalonga, has the unenviable rep¬ 
utation of giving short weight. Re¬ 
cently he ordered 24 pounds of butter 
from Tammas M’Leish’s dairy. The 
butter was three pounds light. “Tam¬ 
mas,” Sandy said severely, “yon butter 
is short weight.” “Na, na, an’ it isna,” 
said Tammas. “I weighed it masel’.” 
“Maybe yere scales are wrang,” Sandy 
suggested. “That canna be,” said Tam¬ 
mas. “I ha'e nae scales.” “Then hoo 
ken ye the richt weight?” Sandy asked, 
having Tammas in a clinch. “Hoot 
mon,” Tammas said, with contempt, “I 
just balanced the bit butter wi’ twen- 
ty-fower poond o’ sugar ye sent me o’ 
Wednesday.’—Melbourne Leader. 
Poultry Secrets Disclosed 
7s this cock properly held ? “Poultry 
Secrets ” tells you how to carry fowls, 
and scores of secrets far more impor¬ 
tant and hitherto unrevcaled. 
W E OFFER to all poultry raisers 
the essential knowledge and secret 
methods of many of the most suc¬ 
cessful poultrymen of America. As a 
rule these secrets have been guarded 
with extreme care, for it is on them 
that the great successes have been 
built. They have cost years of labor 
and thousands of dollars. They will 
cost YOU only a trifle and a few 
minutes to write us. 
How We Obtained These Secrets 
Michael K. Boyer, our poultry editor, has 
had exceptional opportunities and the closest 
friendship with poultrymen all over the country. 
They have freely told him many of their most 
jealously treasured secrets, many others we have 
bought, and this scattered material, together 
with several of Mr. Boyer’s own valued methods, 
has now been collected in book form. It must 
be clearly understood that every secret printed 
has been obtained in an honorable way. 
Dr, Woods’ Egg Food Secret 
Dr. P. T. Woods authorizes 
the publication of his sys¬ 
tem for producing large 
quantities of sterile eggs 
for market. Every poultry- 
man who raises eggs for 
market must know Dr. 
Woods’ method to be up to 
the times, and every house¬ 
holder who supplies only his 
or her own table will appre¬ 
ciate an increased quantity 
of the highest quality eggs 
for table use. 
Secret of Fertile Eggs 
Boyer’s secret of securing 
fertile eggs by alternating 
males we believe is worth 
$100 to any big producer of 
eggs for hatching, either for 
his own incubators or sell¬ 
ing to others for fancy stock. 
It is something new, and the 
diagrammatic illustration 
furnished by Mr. Boyer 
makes the matter so plain 
that the novice can easily 
understand it. This system 
is already practiced or 
about to be introduced in 
many of the largest plants 
in the country. 
Selecting the Laying Hens 
Since the production of 
eggs is the very basis of the 
poultry industry,the ability 
to tell the laying hens in the 
flock quickly, without the 
aid of trap nests, will put 
dollars in your pocket. Do 
not keep on feeding the 
robber hens. 
HERE ARE A FEW MORE OF THE 
SECRETS : 
1 Secret of the Philo System. 
2 Woods’ secret of laying food. 
3 Proctor’s salt secret. 
4 Mendel’s chart of heredity. 
5 Truslow’s secret of high 
prices for ducks. 
6 Hunter’s secret of success. 
7 Cowell’s fattening secret. 
8 Burnham’s System of mating 
fowls. 
9 Brackenburg’s secret of scald¬ 
ed oats. 
10 Secret recipes for chick feed; 
practically the same food 
as is now sold on the mar¬ 
ket at a high rate. 
1 I Secret of 200 eggs per hen 
per year. 
12 Woods’ secret of saving 
weak incubator chicks. 
13 Secret of telling age of p'ltry. 
14 Secret of preserving eggs— 
the only safe way. 
15 Secret of celery fed broilers. 
16 Secret of fattening turkeys. 
1 7 Incubator secrets. 
18 Broody hen secrets. 
19 An exposure of the methods 
employed by some fanciers 
to kill the fertility of hatch¬ 
ing eggs. 
There are Scores of Others 
I. K. Fetch’s Mating 
Secret 
Many years ago Mr. Felch, 
one of the best known fig¬ 
ures in the poultry world, 
published his breeding 
chart, but later realizing its 
great importance and value 
to him, he withdrew it and 
kept the information for 
himself. He has now given 
Mr. Boyer permission to use 
ibis system and it is in¬ 
cluded in this book. 
The Secret of Feed at 15 
Cents a Bushel 
An enterprising poultry- 
man lias been advertising 
this secret for $5.00 and 
pledging those who buy it 
not to disclose it to any one 
else; it has. however, long 
been known to a few poul¬ 
trymen, Mr. Boyer among 
them, and the method is 
fully explained in “Poultry 
Secrets. 
So-Called “Systems” 
Explained 
A number of “systems” 
and secret recipes have been 
and still are sold at high 
prices. Some are good, but 
not new; some are new, but 
of little value. Some are 
worth the money paid for 
them. “Poultry Secrets” 
gives the facts. 
Of course we cannot go to the length of saying that all the information in the 
book is new to every one. It is said there is nothing new under the sun, and the 
Egyptians were hatching eggs by artificial heat centuries ago; but we do say that to 
the great majority of poultrymen these secrets are absolutely unknown. 
We Will Pay $10.00 For Any Secret Nol in the Book 
provided it is practical and valuable. If it is something both new and good, a 
check for Ten Dollars will be sent at once. In submitting secrets address all com¬ 
munications to the 
Poultry Department of Farm Journal 
Farm Journal for thirty years has conducted a poultry department known the 
country over for the ability of its editors and the value of its contents. Besides this 
strong section, which of itself makes the paper valuable to every chicken owner, its 
others departments are ably conducted and widely quoted. It is the standard farm 
and home paper of the country, with already more than three million readers. It is 
clean, bright, intensely practical; boiled down; cream, not skim-milk. Its editors 
and contributors know what they are talking about, 
-and can quit when they have said it. It is for the 
gardener, fruitman, stockman, trucker, farmer, villager, 
suburbanite, the women folks, the boys and girls. It 
is illustrated and well printed on good paper. It has 
not a medical or trashy advertisement in it. Its more 
than half million subscribers pay five and ten years 
ahead—a very remarkable fact. 
We will send you a copy 
of ‘‘Poultry Secrets” and
