Berry Ticker’s Card. 
I enclose a berry picker’s card that 
I devised to use in place of tickets; it 
has proved very satisfactory to us, and 
the pickers arc very much pleased with 
the system, as there arc no small tick¬ 
ets to lose, which often happens when 
they try to keep them until they get a 
hundred; most children will pick more 
baskets, as each is trying to get a full 
card first. The pickers take out five 
two-quart baskets which they tie 
around them; as fast as a basket is 
filled it is set in the row. When the 
five baskets are full they bring them

BERRY TICKET- 
up to the packing house, the packer 
punches their card, and they return to 
the berry patch with five more baskets 
to fill. We pay three cents per two 
quart basket for picking strawberries, 
five cents for red and black raspberries 
and four to five cents for blackber¬ 
ries, currants and gooseberries, but us¬ 
ually the gooseberries are stripped from 
the hushes (the pickers wearing leath¬ 
er gloves) and cleaned with the fan¬ 
ning mill. We got most of our pickers 
from the city (Cleveland) ; these are 
engaged a few weeks in advance. A 
card is left with each one and we noti¬ 
fy them by post card when to begin. 
We pay one-half the carfare and the 
traction company sells us berry pickers’ 
tickets in 100 lots at half rates, which 
we furnish our pickers at -cost.

EGG FARM

BY CORNING HIMSELF 
The Greatest Poultry Book Ever Written 
of the Greatest Egg Farm Ever Known 
The Corning Egg Farm Book 
By Corning Himself ” 
The Story of an Accomplished Success. A Real 
Book, not a Paper Covered Pamphlet 
Every Owner of Hens, Just Hal f a Dozen or a Bin Flock, Needs 
Tliis Great, New Corning Book. H Means an Increase in Eggs, 
Chicks, and Money That Will Astound You. The Book Reads as 
Interestingly as a Novel, and Gives Information to the Dayman 
Which is Simply Invaluable. 
In this New Book the Comings tell you howto get 
the large, white eggs of delicate, delicious flavor, 
and more of them than you have ever had before. 
We get prices higher than the highest market quotations, and 
are never able to 111! all orders. Last year we received more 
than three times as many orders for hatching eggs as we were 
able to till. Every hen we could spare for breeding was sold in 
the early spring lor August delivery. Tills is why we really do 
make money with our Ileus. You can do it too; this Now Book 
shows you how. 
Today we have on the Farm 9,000 Pullets ami Hens : 15,900 Incubator Capacity at a Hatching; 294 feet of Brooder 
l??eh^ ce , 1 «InifPifnfi Liymu Houses, amt 58 huihlimjs with a tloor space of 18,455 square feet, rcqresentimj a 
ca.h investment of S40,000, nearly every penny of which lias been made right on the Farm out of eggs 
and chickens during less than six years. This new book tells you exactly how It was done and how 
you can do it. You need no other guldo or Instruction to succeed. 
$5.41 per Hen per Year Has Now Been 
Surpassed on The Corning' Egg Farm 
and tills new book tells you how. Nothing has been done on The Corning Egg Farm that cannot 
be accomplished by anyone of lair, average intelligence and ambition. 
One great beauty of the Corning Method Is that it is just as suitable and effective with a fow hens 
around the lot as with the largest flocks on big commercial egg farms. Everyone should keep poultry

Protect Your 
Poultry 
from all kinds of weather—rain and snow, heat 
and cold. To do so, you need a roofing for 
your poultry buildings that is rain-proof, snow- 
proof, heat-proof, cold-proof, time-proof and 
fire-resisting. RU-BER-OID is all of these. It lasts 
longer than metal or shingles, is easier 
to apply und costs less. 
(Accent on the “RU" and always ipellcd with one “B”) 
r r* is the cheapest roofing known, considered from 
T \ the standpoint of 10 or 20 years’ service. It is ttie 
original smooth surface, ready-to-lay roofing. It is made of 
wool fabric, saturated and coated with RU-BER-OID Gum. 
When buying roofing always demand RU-BER-OID and remember, unices 
the RU-Ber-OID Man is shown on the outside wrapper, the roofing is not 
the genuine RU-BER-OID. The RU-BER-OID Man is your protection. Look for him. 
. KA-lor-OID is the only permanently colored prepared roofing—
