An Incubator of this alse of the very best make jsow costs in the neighborhood of 120. A machine of 200 egg capacity of the same manufacture will coat about $10 more. Therefore a large proportion of mail breeder look upon It aa economy to buy a machine of the larger alxe. The mall breeder will not alway find it an easy matter to nave up 200 eggs 'of the required freshness for thla purpose, and he will often be tempted to use egge of an age which are not safe to put In the machine. And If he la offering eggs for sale at the same time It will frequently become necessary to ' atart the macblna when only half filled. We are acquainted with breeders who have found It nn advantage to keep two or three 100 egg machines and could not be persuaded to exchange one for anything larger than thla Whenever there la a temporary surplus of eggs g machine la alwaya in readiness to taae care of them, and no time Is lost la waiting for a larger supply, Many people will this year put off the buying of aa incubator because they think they cannot quite spare the money tor a 200 egg machine, and It looks to them but a waste of money to buy a 100 egg machine nt a price which la greatly out of proportion to the capecltlee of the two machines,. The incubator lg almost a necessity, even to small breeders. and th majority of theaa persons will further their Interest by not postponing th purch&t of a machln because th-- y lack the money to buy on of Urge alse.

During the last few years dairying on the cheap lands of the West ha received unusual stimulation Tbs Incentive was tbe neessity of making money on something besides the grain crops, tbe price for which was so low that no margin of profit remained. Whether the movement toward dairying will continue with better condition for the grain raiser remains to be seen. Certainly the philosophy of tbe situation would seem to command that dairying he continued on the cheap lands, especially where the products are ao far from market that the coat of transportation la great. Great coat of carriage demands the manud facture of products, that the relative charge of getting to market may be lessened. Thus, If grain sell at oue cent a pound and butter for twenty there la manifestly more saving of expense In sending butter to market than tn sending grain. Thla 1 factor with which the eastern dairyman must reckon. Under ordinary conditions the farmer on cheap land can produce butter at far les priced land. It may be also that th railroads running Into the country of cheap lands will find it to their interest to encourage dairying rather than to discourage It, for they will In the end make move money out of their business. It la true, they wilt loe on th lessened volume of grain eent to market, but they nil! gain on the larger transportation of goods that will be purchased by the farmer, and they will also gain In their passenger traffic. It the farmer makes more money hie family can afford to travel more and will take advantage of their ability to do eo. The value of the cost than can the farmer on high lands owned by the railroads will also be increased and this will be no small But the factor In their prosperity. Eastern dairyman need have no fear of an Immediate demoralisation of hie market, for tbe cheap lands are so poorly supplied with railroad facilities that a very large area will not find profitable dairying possible. It will succeed only along the great main line of road, by means of which the butter can easily and quickly be sent to market By tbe time the whole area Is opened 'up to thla industry the population of .ns country will ao far have, increased that the demand will be far beyond our present capacity to high-price- FOR W0MEXAKD ROME. The Bone Cutter. Tbe bone cutter a necessary to tbe poultryman as his feed mill. It enables him to use an excellent and cheap food, and give him a profit where h might otherwise b compelled to suffer n loea. It is claimed that a bone cutter pays tor Itself In eggs, and really costs nothing. Bones are now one of th staple articles of food tor poultry, and no ration should have them omitted. They are food, grit and lime, nil combined In one, and the hens will leave all other foods to receive the cut bone. If cut fine, even chicks and ducklings will relish such excellent food, while tur- keys grow rspldly on It To meet with success requires the use of the best ma- tertala, and green bone beats all other substances as food for poultry. Poultry Keeper. Feed for Buff Cochins. Tbe Buff Cochins, being large fowls, cannot be expected to forage over a half section of land, like the smaller breeds. Still tney are good foragers If given n chance. Lack of exercise cause the Buff Cochin to take on fat more readily than th qver alert smaller breeds. The same ration that will keep th smaller breeds In prim 'condition will cause Buff Cochins to get excessively a cheaper feed fat Thus,onecorn may be respect, but as an excluIn aom sive food It will not make Buff Cochins lay egg.
