EASY NOW TO OWN THE 
FAMOUSWITTE ENGINE 
Plan of Only $5.69 for a Few Months 
Sets Record Low Price 
The rugged, dependable Witte Throt¬ 
tling Governor Engine—known for over 
42 years as the standard of farm power 
— surely is within the reach of every 
progressive farmer now, according to a 
new plan just announced by Ed H. 
Witte, world-famous engine builder. 
Now only $5.69 a month for a short 
time buys the standard Witte Throt¬ 
tling Governor Engine, fully equipped 
with the celebrated waterproof WICO 
Magneto. In spite of this low price, 
which sets a record, the engine has nearly 
40 new improvements, including a new 
device that makes starting easy at even 
40 degrees below zero. 
Long regarded as the cheapest and most 
dependable farm engine built, the WITTE 
develops 50% extra power on either kerosene, 
gasoline, distillate or gas. Operation on full 
load figures under 2c an hour. Trouble-proof 
and so simple that the women folks can operate 
it. Easily moved from job to job. More than 
150,000 WITTES are in daily use. 
To introduce this remarkable engine to a 
million new users, Mr. Witte will send it any¬ 
where, direct from factory, for a guaranteed 
90-day test. 
Every reader of this paper who is interested 
in doing all jobs by engine power should write 
today for a free copy of a remarkable new, 
illustrated book just issued by Mr. Witte, which 
explains the engine fully. You are under no 
obligations by writing. Just send your name, a 
postcard will do, to the Witte Engine Works. 
1806 Witte Bldg., Kansas City, Mo., or 1806 
Empire Bldg., Pittsburgh, Pa., and receive this 
interesting and valuable book that gives you 
valuable information about the application of 
engine power on your farm.

Getting the Hens Ready for Winter 
(' Continued, from page 276) 
regularly. The dropping boards should 
be scraped at least once a week. A 
small hand hoe works very well and after 
the boards have been cleaned they should 
be covered with fine ashes. The nests 
must be cleaned and sprayed. The 
litter is another detail that needs watch¬ 
ing. It should always be fresh. Mold is 
to be carefully guarded against. Our 
colleges of agriculture have prepared some 
very excellent literature on the Subject 
of winter management of the flock. If 
you wish any of these bulletins write me 
and I shall be only too glad to send them 
to you. If you wish to write to your 
state college of agriculture, the poultry 
department at that institution is always 
ready to be of service. New Jersey has 
its college of agriculture and experiment 
station at New Brunswick. New York 
State’s college of agriculture is at Ithaca, 
while Connecticut has its headquarters at 
Storrs. All stand ready to help you. 
We get many letters from our friends 
who desire information relative to poultry 
diseases. It is hard to diagnose a disease 
by mail. It is really necessary to see the 
hen. If you take into consideration all of 
the details that I have mentioned with 
those other smaller incidentals that you 
will find mentioned in the bulletins, there 
is very little reason why you should have 
difficulty with your flock this winter. If 
you are having trouble, the first thing to 
do is to isolate the bird that is showing 
some abnormal condition. Then treat 
the entire flock with Epsom salts at the 
rate of one pound for every 100 birds. 
This may be administered in the drinking 
water or it may be mixed in the mash. If 
the bird gets real sick, do not run any 
chance. Destroy it and bury it, where 
all the other fowls cannot dig it out at 
some later date. A sick hen about the 
premises is really a menace. 
It is going to pay to take care of the 
hens this winter. Eggs are high right now 
and everything indicates that they are 
going a lot higher. Recent reports of the 
Department of Agricultural Economics 
of the United States Department of 
Agriculture, show that our^ storage hold¬ 
ings are between 350,000 and 400,000 
cases below last year. That means we 
have at least 10)^ million dozen less on 
hand than a year ago. On top of this 
shortage, current receipts of fresh eggs 
are just about equal to the market de¬ 
mands. In fact, fancy eggs from nearby 
points have been scarce right along. 
Everything points to a healthy egg 
market from the sellers’ standpoint and it 
is going to make the backyard flock a 
decided utility this year. 
The Trouble Maker 
{Continued from page 273) 
with the petals of the daisy and estimat¬ 
ing the number of future children by 
catching the yellow' seed on the back of 
the hand, she blushed a little and quickly 
brushed the seeds off, glancing at the 
boy to see if he had noticed. 
But Jim was too absorbed in his 
thoughts to remember any childhood 
rite, and they stood in silence for a few 
moments while they watched John Ball 
disappear slowly over the brow of the 
hill. 
Then, turning to Dorothy, the boy 
said: 
“Your father was saying a little while 
ago that w r e young folks were always 
wantin’ something awfully hard, but 
didn’t know what it w r as.” 
“Well, as far as I am concerned,’’ 
interrupted the girl quickly, “he was 
only partly right. I do want something, 
and I want it darn hard,” and she paused 
a moment before concluding, “but I know 
what it is.” 
“Tell me,” said Jim. 
The girl hesitated a moment, while the 
blood showed red under the tan of her 
face and neck, and then moving a little 
farther away, she looked shyly up at him 
and laughed. 
“I’ll never tell!” she said, and then 
turned and fled down across the lot.

Are You in a Rut? 
Thousands of farmers have pulled out of\ the rut and 
are saving time and money with the engine designed 
and built for farm work—The Edwards Farm Engine. 
I want to tell you how it is different from any other 
engine—how this one engine will fill your silo or pun 
your washing machine; or do practically every power job 
on your farm—how it is changed from a 
114 H. P. engine all the way up to a 6 H. P. 
engine—how it saves fuel, how it starts 
without cranking, how it is never fastened 
down, does not vibrate, is light enough to 
be moved by two men, yet is rugged and 
durable—how it has made good in the 
hands of farmers for eight years.
