A Genuine Mammoth—800-Egg Size 
The Wishbone Mammoth, famous all over the 
world for the fine chicks it hatches, is the only 
Mammoth that has completely eliminated hand 
labor and hatches chicks by natural safe 
methods. This is exactly the same machine 
that in sizes up to 48,000 is paying big profits 
to the great commercial hatcheries all over the 
continent. It is not to be confused with lamp 
Incubators. It is a genuine Mammoth—with all 
Mammoth features-built by the man who in¬ 
vented the first Mammoth. 
Automatic Egg Turner! 
With a Wishbone you don’t have to do a bit 
of hand labor from the time you put the eggs 
in until you take the chicks out twenty-one day s 
later. Heat and ventilation in each compart¬ 
ment are automatically regulated. A turn of 
the crank rolls the eggs gently over. That s all. 
These are exclusive Wishbone features. 
The Wishbone Single Section is 4 incubators 
in 1—the four separate compartments, 200-eggs 
each, can be set altogether or one at a time. All 
are heated by the one wonderful Wishbone 
blue-flame burner that requires no chimney, 
has no wicks and uses a 3-gallon tank that 
needs refilling only once a week. No odor, no 
mess, it can go into any room in the house. 
200 Eggs or More at a Time 
The Single Section is the best way you can 
enter the lucrative hatching business. New 
sections can be added, paid for by your profits, 
as you grow, up to 48,000 capacity.

Hens Eat Eggs 
Would you advise me of a good remedy 
to stop hens from eating their eggs? 
New York. J. m. 
I know of ho remedy, unless vinegar is 
one. It has been advised that a little 
vinegar mixed with a mash will stop the 
practice. Perhaps it will. If it doesn t, 
try the old methods of darkening the 
nests, gathering the eggs frequently, 
watching for offenders in the flock, these 
frequently being marked by yellow rings 
about their beaks and discolored faces. 
Scatter china eggs about the floor, fill 
blown eggshells with mustard and pep¬ 
per and place in the pen. Oh ! there are 
lots of ways to stop egg eating; when 
they all fail, turn the flock loose out of 
doors. This will probably put a stop to 
the vice. B< • n>

Pullets with Frozen Combs 
About 200 of my White Leghorn pul¬ 
lets had the tips of their combs frozen 
during the last cold spell, and since then 
have dropped off one-half in the egg pro¬ 
duction. As it is the first time anything 
like this has happened, I would like to 
know if thev will come Out all right. 
During the cold spell I gave them a warm 
wet mash at noon, and kept the dry mash 
before them all the time. I give them 
warm water all the time. R. s. M. 
New York. 
Yes, the pullets will come back all 
right, but be careful about making such 
changes in their accustomed ration as 
giving a warm mash at noon during a 
cold spell. Such attempted kindness may 
prove disastrous by checking egg produc¬ 
tion and inducing a molt. Make no sud¬ 
den changes in the ration of a flock of 
laying pullets; if changes must be made, 
make them gradually. 
Any body warmth gained from warm 
food or drink would be evanescent. The 
heat need by the fowl is derived from the 
food consumed and digested, and there is 
a constant supply of this, taking care of 
all the bird’s requirements. M. b. d.

Advise me what ails my fowls. They 
die, some of them instantly, while others 
linger a few days; they have a grayish 
discharge in throat and mouth, and intes¬

next morning are under roost dead.

It tells an interesting story.— .Tim Rohan. 1 res. 
Belle City Incubator Co. BoxI8_Racine^ViL 
These fowls may be suffering from true 
fowl cholera, that disease being marked 
by bright yellow and green discharges, 
and, in the acute form, sudden deaths. If 
this is the case, there is no remedy, other 
than disposal of all carcasses in such a 
manner that no birds or other animals 
can get at them to carry the disease to 
others, and thorough cleanliness and dis¬ 
infection of all utensils and the quaiteis 
used by the flock, this being done after all 
ailing birds have been removed. 
You may have a less serious disorder 
than true cholera, however, and, in any 
case, the sick birds should all be promptly 
removed from the flock. A physic of Ep¬ 
som salts may be given the flock, using 
1 lb. per 100 birds, dissolved in what 
drinking water the flock will consume 
during the day. Look carefully to the 
food given or to any that the fowls may 
find access to on range. Spoiled food of 
any kind must not be fed, and care should 
be taken that the birds do not get hold of 
any decaying carcass about the premises. 
Food poisoning from some source might 
account for the symptoms and deaths as 
you describe them. B - D - 
This Year, Save 
Your Baby Chicks 
A 14 year old boy can make, in an 
hour, a brooder that will raise husky, 
healthy chicks. The materials needed 
are a shoebox, one-sixth yard of oil¬ 
cloth, a handful of nails and a Putnam 
Brooder Heater. A hammer and a saw- 
are the only tools you need. The cost 
of this practical home-made brooder, 
complete with Heater, will not be more 
than $4.96. 
After making and using such a brood¬ 
er, Joseph Sevigny, a breeder of S. C. 
Black Minorcas at Arctic, R. I., writes: 
“I never lost one chick and raised over 
100, and with these made a clean sweep 
at Providence and Arctic Shows.” 
This home-made brooder will care 
for from 35 to 60 chicks. For a larger 
number, simply use more .brooders. The 
chicks do better when divided into 
small flocks. 
You can operate this home-made brooder 
any wherein a sunny .room, in an ope 
shed or, if provided with a roof, out of 
doors. To clean and disinfect, you simply 
lift oiit the hover and Heater. The floor of 
the brooder is even with the ground so that 
the chicks easily learn to run out and in. 
Ventilation is automatic. The Heater radi¬ 
ates heat from above upon the backs of the 
chicks, like the mother hen. The Inover m i so 
constructed that the chicks can find the 
exact warmth they like best. It can be ad 
justed to suit any season, January to July. 
The Putnam Brooder Heater burns 10 
days without flllinci or trimming. It cannot 
be blown out or flare up—is tire-safe. The 
Putnam Heater is practically indestructible 
.—made throughout ot brass and galvanized 
iron. You should beware of heaters similar 
in outward appearance but using tlie old 
style and unsafe wick burner, requiring 
trimming every day. The I utnam label is 
on every genuine Putnam Ileatei. It is 
a. guarantee of satisfaction and goodness.

Feeding Small Flock 
Would you advise me as to a good ra¬ 
tion for a small flock of chickens i Is 
there any such a thing as a chicken of a 
reasonable age getting too fat to lay i 
N. R. Z. 
A small flock of chickens should have 
the same ration that a large one needs, 
save that it is often practicable to make 
table wastes, etc., supply a considerable 
portion of it. As such wastes are vaii- 
able in amount and composition, I should 
provide a good standard mash, such as 
can be bought already prepared or mixed 
according to one of the formulas fte- 
quently given in these columns, and feed 
this with ordinary scratch grains. Table 
scraps would lessen the amount of the 
prepared ration eaten, but would not be 
How to Get the Brooder Heater:

Heater. ' Directions for building the complete 
brooder are packed in every Heater. If your 
dealer cannot supply you, send $4.75, check or 
money order. I will ship you one of my Brood¬
