$500 to $3000 a Year 
from Poultry 
How much money are you mak¬ 
ing on poultry? Are you making 
.$500 a year—$1,000 a year—$2,- 
000 a year? If not, you are not 
getting your rightful share of 
poultry profits. Look at the rec¬ 
ords on the left. They are only 
a few of thousands. They simply 
thrown away to make room for 
Buckeyes. Wherever you go you 
hear the same story. 
Ask Anyone About 
the Buckeye 
The largest and most successful 
poultrymen will tell you to play safe. 
prove what can 
be done — and 
what you can do. 
And these big¬ 
ger profits can 
be made without 
big investment 
— without any 
more work — 
and with no risk whatever.

No Other Equipment Can 
Give You Buckeye Results 
Buckeye Incubators and Brooders are 
used in every civilized country in the 
world. They are regarded every¬ 
where as the leaders in poultry rais¬ 
ing equipment. They are designed 
right. They are built right. No 
other incubator can equal a Buckeye. 
Buckeye Coal-Burning and Blue 
Flame Colony Brooders raise more 
chicks than any other brooders in the 
world. And you can’t get Buckeye 
profits with any other kind of equip¬ 
ment. It’s been proved time alter 
time. Thousands, yes, tens of thous¬ 
ands of other incubators have been 
In “Bigger Poultry Profits” you will see 
for yourself liow Mrs. Fred Schoff is 
able to add $600 a year net profit from 
her Barred Rocks to the farm income. 
Write today for this truly wonderful 
book. 
Mrs. Fred Gassaway of Rivervale, In¬ 
diana, a woman of 65 years of age, 
makes $1,500 a year net profit from her 
White Leghorns, doing all the work 
herself. The methods she uses are to 
be found in “Bigger Poultry Profits.” 
They will say 
“don’t gamble, 
start right, use 
nothing but Buck¬ 
eye Equipment if 
you want poultry 
profits.” The great 
agricultural col¬ 
leges use and rec¬ 
ommend Buckeyes. 
County agents and 
h o m e demonstration agents will 
tell you who is making money on 
poultry and you will find these people 
Buckeye users. 
The right kind of equipment is the 
first step to poultry profit. Unless 
you get big, early hatches and raise 
sturdy, healthy chickens you can’t 
make money on poultry. And the 
right kind of equipment is Buckeye 
Equipment—nothing else will do. 
The New Buckeye Book 
Now Buckeye 'offers you more than 
good equipment. We have prepared 
a book on poultry profits that is re¬ 
garded by experts as the greatest 
poultry book ever written. It is a 
guide to the big money in this giant 
industry. It tells how to vastly in¬ 
crease your profits in poultry—how 
to make profits of $500—$1,000 and 
more a year. The amazing thing 
about it is that it isn’t hard to do. It 
doesn’t taken any more time and at¬ 
tention or work than you are now de¬ 
voting to poultry and it will bring 
you more dollars than any other 
“crop” you could raise. 
Regardless of the size of your farm, 
or the kind of products you raise, 
poultry can be a sure, safe, certain 
source of additional income that will 
add materially to your bank account. 
Write for Your Copy 
There is information in it that has never be¬ 
fore been published. It contains facts on 
feeding and culling. It tells how to get more 
eggs in winter when prices are high. How to 
have early broilers. How to develop a heavy 
egg strain—in a word—how to make money. 
This book was written for users of Buckeye 
Incubators and Brooders. Now we offer you

N. Y. State Egg-laying 
Contest 
This contest is conducted at the State 
Institute of Applied Agriculture, Farm- 
iugdale, Long Island. Each pen contains 
10 birds. Following is a summary of the 
results up to December 5, with comments 
by Contest Supervisor Horton : 
Paul F. Smith’s pen of Leghorns de¬ 
serve special mention 'this week for three 
outstanding reasons. The pen was the 
leader for the week, with a production of 
41 eggs. It is still first in the entire con¬ 
test, as well as first in the Leghorn class ; 
this team of pullets is the first in the 
present contest to pass the 200-egg mark. 
Stewart L. Purdie's Leghorns were sec¬ 
ond, scoring 34 eggs. West Neck Farm’s 
Reds third, having laid 33 eggs. Fourth, 
Ilillerest Poultry Farm, 31 eggs. 
The total production for the fifth week 
was 1,155, a yield of 16.5 per cent. This 
is a drop of 145 eggs, compared with last 
week’s production, and S59 eggs less than 
were laid during the fifth week of last 
year’s contest. The contest is, however, 
289 eggs ahead of last year’s total to 
date, at the end of the fifth week. 
Many of the birds that came in “too” 
good laying condition are now going 
through a neck molt, which has been en¬ 
couraged by windy weather. Heavy grain 
feeding failed to check this molt. It is 
doubtful whether lights would prevent 
this drop in production, as the per cent 
drop at the Storrs contest for the fourth 
week was the same as the drop at this 
contest. 
The variety leaders to date are:

Gizzard Worms 
I have a pen of last Spring White Wy¬ 
andotte pullets which are troubled with 
gizzard worms. They bury themselves in 
and eat through the gizzard. I have given 
each bird a teaspoon of turpentine and a 
teaspoon of .sweet oil three times, about a 
week apart. They seem to improve some, 
but are still in bad shape. Can you sug¬ 
gest anything that might rid them of the 
trouble? E. K. 
Connecticut. 
I do not know of any remedy that is 
likely to be more efficacious than turpen¬ 
tine, though larger doses than you have 
given may be used. The parasites that 
bury themselves in the walls of the giz¬ 
zard or beneath its lining membrane are, 
of- course, hard to reach with any drug. 
A more thorough use of turpentine would 
be to give the fowls a dose of Epsom 
salts to clear the digestive passages, after 
the operation of which two teaspoons of 
turpentine may be introduced directly 
into the crop through a soft rubber tube 
that has been oiled and gently inserted 
as far as that organ. If given by the 
mouth, the turpentine should be diluted 
with some bland oil, as you have done, 
but this, of course, weakens its action.

Incubator Run by Electric 
Power 
Do you think that an electric incubator 
would pay if it could be run by city pow¬ 
er? I am thinking of buying one, and 
would like your advice. L. B. B. 
Concord, N. II. 
'This would depend entirely upon the 
price of the electric current. As a rule, 
all heating devices operated by electric 
current are expensive, at least from a 
comparative standpoint. Their conveni¬ 
ence may offset this in particular cases, 
or specially cheap power may be avail¬ 
able in others. Before purchasing an elec¬ 
tric incubator I should want a guarantee 
of maximum current under the circum¬ 
stances of proposed use. The cost of 
running it could then be figured with ap¬ 
proximate accuracy, and one could decide 
for himself whether or not he could afford 
it. m. b. n.
