HUMOROUS 
First Chauffeur: “Do you turn back 
when you have run over a person?” 
Second Chauffeur: “No, indeed; I might 
run over him again.”—New York Sun. 
Ryan : “For who ’re ye puttin’ up a 
fince, Doyle, afther al’ th' years ye’ve 
lived here widout?” Doyle: “Well, the 
fact is, Barney, th’ docthor’s bin at us t’ 
take precautions again thim microbes 
ye’ve heard of.”—St. Louis Star. 
“For a Spring chicken, madam,” said 
Dawson, “I must confess that I consider 
this a pretty tough bird.” “Yes, Mr. 
Dawson,” replied the landlady, amiably, 
“but you must remember that we have 
had a pretty tough Spring.”—Harper’s 
Weekly. 
“But, Bertha, how did you make the 
acquaintance of your second husband?” 
“It was quite romantic. I was out walk¬ 
ing with my first, when my second came 
along in a motor car, and ran him down. 
That was the beginning of our friend¬ 
ship.”—Credit Lost. 
“Good morning, sir,” said the artist, 
politely, “that’s a perfect cow of yours 
down there in the field. I’d like to paint 
her if you don’t mind.” “By heck!” ex¬ 
claimed Farmer Korntop, “I reckon ye 
won’t. Git outer hvar! I’m tired o’ you 
‘Perkins’ Purple Pills’ fellers.”—Cath¬ 
olic Standard and Times. 
“This section is much more prosper¬ 
ous,” declared the Western farmer. 
“Twenty years ago the ingredients of a 
cyclone consisted of rag carpets, tin 
pans and dog houses.” “And now?” 
“Now the cyclones are fairly crowded 
with grand pianos, Persian rugs and au¬ 
tomobiles.”—Kansas City •Journal. 
“Did you get rid of the flies?” “I 
don’t know,” said Mrs. Corntossel. 
"After we had burned carbolic acid on 
a hot shovel and made a smudge of some 
kind of powder and scattered oil of sas¬ 
safras around, I don’t believe any flies 
could stay in the place. I know us folks 
couldn't.”—Washington Star. 
Yes," said Mrs. Wordsworth, “the 
family are most interesting. John dances 
divinely, Tom sings like an angel, David 
is a famous footballer, Susanne paints 
with great taste.” “And Henry?” “Oh, 
Henry! Well, he’s rather a dull sort of 
a fellow, you know. He only works and 
supports the others.—Melbourne Aus¬ 
tralasian. 
“Where’s your father?” asked the 
man on horseback. “Up the river fish- 
in’ ” answered the boy. “Where’s your 
big brother?” “Down the river fishin’.” 
“What are } r ou doing?” “Diggin’ bait.” 
"Hasn’t your family anything to do but 
amuse itself?” “Mister, if you think 
we’re doin’ this for fun, you wait an’ 
hear what maw says if we come home 
without any fish.”—New York Journal. 
Charles, two and a half years old, 
has, naturally, a limited vocabulary, yet 
he usually manages to express himself 
and his emotions very clearly. The 
other night a skunk was wandering near 
the house and Charles learned for the 
first time what the awful presence 
meant, for bolt upright in bed he sat, 
and gasped out, “O mama! Did you 
smell that awful noise?”—Youth’s Com¬ 
panion. 
The farmers were sitting around the 
stove in the general store and telling 
how the potato bugs had gotten their 
crops. Said one farmer: “The bugs ate 
my whole crop in two weeks.” Then 
another spoke up: “They ate my crop 
in two days and then sat around on the 
trees and waited for me to plant more.” 
Here the storekeeper broke in: “Well, 
boys, that may be so, but I’ll tell you 
'vhat I saw in this very store. I saw 
four or five potato bugs examining the 
books about a week before planting time 
to see who had brought seed.”—National

From My Advertisement:

Belle City Incubator Co., Racine, Wis. 
Avon, Mass., Oct. 16, 1910 
My first hatch in the Belle City with eggs that were not very good was 76 per cent better 
than the highest priced machine made, that I had standing alongside of it, as it hatched only 67 
per cent. Later on I took out an 86 per cent hatch in my Belle City. I find I lost nothing by 
ordering direct from your ad in the Rural New Yorker. You can count on me for from 4 to 8 
machines this season. If all other Companies did business as near the claims they make as vot* 
do, there wouldn t be much trouble in the business world. Wallace S. Reynolds

Mrs. M. J. Clifton, of Quinlan, Oklahoma, 
won the World’s Championship with her 
Belle City Incubator by hatching- the 
highest perfectscore in Successful Farming's 
1910 prize contest of 188 entries— 140-egg size 
140 eggs set—140 chicks hatched. This was 
lOOw perfect on the full capacity of the 
Belle City. Many other incubators selling 
at from 2 to 5 times the low price of the 
Belle City did not equal or even approach 
this performance. Thousands of testimonials 
show you Belle City can do best for you also.
