Children and Poultry 
It makes me shudder aud arouses my 
ire whenever I see a picture of a child 
holding a fowl close in its arms, and at 
such times I can’t help wonder how some 
people can be so thoughtless and why you 
do not utter a word of warning against 
the practice. How often have I. and no 
doubt others too, seen fowls when held 
this way pick at buttons and even at 
one’s teeth in mistake fo»’ .corn or grain 
evidently, and how easily may they make 
the same mistake with regard to the eye! 
A grown-up can guard himself, but not 
so with a child. It is a practice on a 
par with netting the bull, and should be 
strictly tabooed. m. E. SAVITZ. 
700,000 satisfied users 
incubators and brooders 
It is a literal fact that thousands and thou¬ 
sands have actually ‘'junked” their old 
incubators and brooders of various makes 
to make way for Buckeye equipment. 
Don't Gamblel You can be absolutely sure 
of effective equipment in advance. Buckeye 
incubators and brooders are endorsed by 
nearly three-quarters of a million users. 
Buckeye Incubators hatch 175 million 
chicks a year — bringing forth the finest, 
healthiest chicks. And more than 150 mil- 
1 i on chicks a year are raised by the Buckeye 
System of Colony. Brooding — the system 
which is making big profits for Buckeye 
owners. 
‘How can I save my chicks from dying 
in the shell?" 
“How can I prevent the frightful mor¬ 
tality due to faulty brooders?" 
The Buckeye “Reason Why” Catalog 
answers these vital questions and many 
more. It tells why Buckeye Incubators 
hatch every hatchable egg, with hardly a 
weakling among them. And why Buckeye 
Colony Brooders raise them all to maturity. 
Send for new catalogs. If interested in Blue 
Flame Brooders, send for Catalog No. 24 ; 
or in Coal-Burning Brooders, No. 36; Buck¬ 
eye Incubator Catalog No. 48 tells how to 
grow more and better chicks.
