OUR PART—READ IT.
We Pay Postage on all the seeds quoted by the packet, ounce, quarter pound and pound, and on plants and bulbs (unless otherwise noted), and upon all goods quoted in this catalog as POSTPAID. Pints, quarts, pecks and bushels are sent at purchasers expense unless enough money is remitted to pay postage or ex- press. BY EXPRESS OR FREIGHT always means that the purchaser pays all transportation charges.
We Guarantee Safe Arrival of all seeds provided you have given due care to observe faithfully your part, as stated on this page. BE SURE TO READ IT. -
We Use Every Effort Possible in the selection of our seeds, and feel justified in saying that all our SEEDS are the PUREST and BEST to be found, but at same time there being so many things beyond the control of man that spoil the best seeds and cause poor crops, that it is impossible to guarantee seeds. Therefore, while we exercise great care to have all seeds pure and reliable, we sell no seeds with warranty expressed or implied in any respect, and we are not in any way responsible for the crop. If the purchaser does not accept the seeds on these terms, they must be returned at once, and any money that has been paid for same will be refunded.
Libernz2l Discounts—We offer the following inducements to those wishing to purchase seeds in packets: Select packets to the value of $1.15 and send us $1.00; for $2.35 send $2.00; for $3.60 send $3.00; for $4.45 send $4.00; for $6.15 send $5.00; for $12.50 send $10.00; for $26.00 send $20.00.

Use the Order Sheet. In each copy of our catalog we place an order sheet. It will aid us greatly if you will make your order out upon it, using one line for each article ordered, and as far as possible write them in the way they are catalogued, beginning at the front. We will gladly furnish you additional order sheets if you write for them.
Order Early. We are prepared to fill your order aS soon as this catalog reaches you. So please order early. You will aid us and get “quicker service’ by doing this.
How to Pay. Money may be sent at our risk in the following manner: P. O. Money Order, Bank Draft on Chicago, New York or Milwaukee, Oxpress Money Order, or Registered Letter. Money sent in any other way is entirely at risk of sender. Postage Stamps in small amounts are taken as cash, but they mawst be sent so they will not stick together. If local checks are sent, add 25 cents to cover cost of collec- ion.
Sign Your Name. Name and address should be written as plainly as possible and care exercised to have Post Office, County and State in full. If your express office or freight depot has a different name from your post office, give that also. This is very important, as we cannot send goods if we do not know where to send them.
Before Mailing Your Order be sure that you know whether you or we pay the transportation charges. Remember that all goods quo 7d “By Express or Freight” travel at purchasers expense.
Prepaid Stations, Many small railroad stations are prepaid stations, and the railroads will not accept freight for such points unless charges are fully prepaid. It will save delay if you ascertain if your station is a prepaid one before sending ~vour order and include enough money to cover freight charges if it is.
In Ordering Goods forwarded by freight or express be sure to write plainly your express or freight office, county and state in full, giving the express or railroad company your prefer to have them sent by. This saves time and delay here and disappointment at your end of the line.
In Case of Delay, Write Us. It sometimes happens that an order is lost in coming to us, or the goods, in going to the customer. Therefore, if any who order do not hear from us within a reasonable length of time, they should send a duplicate order, naming the date on which the former one was sent, and the amount of money enclosed, and in what form. This will enabl2 us to investigate the matter and fill the duplicate order quickly.

Quality is the first point we consider in HUNKEL’S Seeds. Our constant. endeavor is to furnish the best and the best only. It costs more to raise good seeds than poor ones. Care ana selection cannot be practiced without cost. Our seeds may cost more money than some others—however, good seeds cannot be bought for less than we sell them. Pegple who try, find out the truth of this statement by bitter experience. 2

MUSK MELON.
Light soil suits the melon best. Plant in hills about 6 feet apart, mixing a shovelful of rotted manure in each hill. Sow about 12 seeds in each hill and when well started thin out to 3 or 4 plants. Pinch off the strong shoots and the young fruit, if it sets too plentiful, so as to increase the size of the remainder. One ounce to 60 hills; about 3 pounds to the acre.
Hunkel’s Select Osage—This is without doubt the finest melon ever pro- duced in this country. It is of medium size, oval in form, dark green in color, handsomely netted and slightly ribbed. The flesh is extremely and uniformly ihick, of firm texture, rich salmon in color; highly flavored and delicious to the rind. Cavity very small. It is a remarkable Keeper and an excellent shipper. Pkt. 5c; 0z. 10c; ™%4 lb. 35c; 1b. $1.10.
Paul Rose, or Petoskey—This melon is the result of a cross between the Osage and the Netted Gem combining the sweetness of the former with the fine netting of the latter. Added to this the firm rind, the heavy texture of its flesh, the smali seed cavity and its keeping qualities, make it one of the most desirable of all melons. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; 4 1b. 35c; 1b. $1.10.

The melons average about six inches long, four and one-half inches in diameter and weigh about 2%, pounds each; an abundant yielder. Shipments of these melons from Colorado to Eastern markets brought from 50 to 300 per cent more than the best Recky-Fords.

HUNKEL’S RELIABLE MUSHROOM SPAWN.
Mushrooms can be easily grown fn cellars, in sheds, in hot-beds, greenhouses, on shelves or any out of way places. Eermenting horse manure at a temperature of about 70 degrees, mixed with an equal weight of fresh sod loam, is made into beds the size required, 8 inches deep. See to it that the bed is packed very solidiy and evenly. Break up the spawn into pieces about the size of a walnut and plant in this bed, about 6 inches apart each way, covering the’ whole with 2 inches of light soil, and protect from rain and cold. One brick will plant about 10 square feet of bed. The mushrooms will appear in about 5 weeks. Keep moist, using lukewarm water if possible. We can always furnish fresh spawn from reliabe makers. We recommend the Pure Culture Spawn.

ONION SEED-—CONTINUED.
AILSA CRAIG ONION. = One of the largest of onions. It is a : Ze very handsome, oval shaped variety with ; pale straw-colored skin; twelve bulbs have : been known to weigh thirty pounds. In England it is the most popular large ¥ onion grown. For exhibition it is unex- celled-—always giving under the same con- i ditions much larger and more shapely bulbs a than the Prizetaker. To attain its largest . size it should be sown early in the Spring in the hot-bed and later be transplanted. The onion is very productive, is a good keeper for a large onion, and for those who like an onion raw we highly recommend it on ac- count of its mild and acceptable pungent flavor. Market gardeners who grow this sort box them and compete successfully with the imported Spanish onion. We believe when this variety is better known it will rank among the most popular sorts.

Qne Qt. to 100 Feet of Drill; Two Bushels to Acre in Drills—While almost any soil will produce good — peas, vet. like most other vegetables, they respond to liberal treatment and careful cultivation. Well-rot- ted stable manure and bone meal make excellent fertilizers for this crop. Deep plowing is of greatest impor- tance. For early peas plant as soon as ground can be worked, in light, well-drained soil and a sunny ex- posure. For main crop a heavier soil may be selected. They are usually planted in double rows, about 4 feet apart, and 3 inches deep. Bush those that require it, when 6 inches high. The wrinkled varieties are not as hardy as the smooth sorts, and should be sown later.

ALL PRICES SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
With no other seed is the importance of a change more essential than with the Potato. We offer Fancy Northern Grown Stock, well selected, hand picked and treated for scab. No potatoes grown can compare with Northern grown seed either for vigor, early maturity, increased yield, freedom from disease and long Keeping qualities.
We offer only a few varieties which have become standard SES and have proven to be the best vari- eties grown.
We book orders at any time, and fill in rotation just as socn as the weather will permit, except at the risk of purchaser. At prices named we make no ch arge for bags, boxes, barrels, or drayage.
To avoid delay, when ordering late in the season, it would be well to mention your second choice, nro- vided we should be sold out of variety ordered.
At the pound price we send by mail prepaid; at peck and bushel rate, they are sent by freight or ex- press at expense of purchaser.

EXTRA EARLY OHIO.
Some early varieties will yield edible potatoes about as soon as the Extra-Early Ohio, but their tops will be green for days after the Extra-Early Ohio have fully ripened. The Extra-Early Ohio is fully two weeks ahead of the Early Rose, and is a general favorite with potato growers and marketmen alike, and the most profitable potato they can possibly grow. The sprouts are very strong, the vines grow erect, and are easy to cultivate; maturing’ early, it brings the highest prices, and the land can be used for an- other crop after it; does well on any soil suitable for pota- toes. The tubers grow compact in the hill, are easily dug, with very few small ones—nearly every potato is of mar- ketable size; has few eyes, which are even with the surface. With heavy manuring, CLOSE PLANTING, and good cul- ture, a very large and profitable crop can be expected—300 to 500 bushels per acre is not an unusual yield.
Our stock is grown in the RED RIVER VALLEY, which is famous for its fine Potatoes. The greatest care is taken in the selection of ‘Potatoes for seed and the result is that every one is a picture of what the EARLY OHIO SHOULD BE. We know that no earlier, purer or more handsome
stock of Early Ohios can be found anywhere. % pk. 30c¢; pk. 50c; bu. $1.50; 2% bu. $3.50.

Our stock is Red River grown and is very choice. % pk. 30c; pk. 50c; bu. $1.50; 2% bu. $3.50.
EXTRA EARLY SIX WEEKS.
Probably the earliest Potato in existence, and the most popular on account of its reliability under all conditions. It is of medium size, smooth and oblong; skin pink, flesh white.

The skin is red; flesh is very white and firm. For many years past it has been the most popular variety in the southern states and Bermuda, and hundreds of carloads are shipped to the northern markets and bring fancy prices. It is a vigorous grower and we cannot recommend it too highly for the first early market or for family use, hes Be in the south.

It is decidedly better than its parents, the tubers being quite uniform in size, with but few small ones among them. It is from 4 to 6 days later than the parent stock. The color is the same, the skin and flesh being white. In fact it can be justly claimed for Sir Walter Raleigh that it is the whitest fleshed and finest potato on the whole list of main crop sorts, not even excepting the snowflakes. It promises to supersede all other sorts of its class on account of its sterling excellence. % pk. 25c; pk. 40c; bu. $1.40; 2% bu. $3.15.

The fame of this potato is abroad in the land, and it is unquestionably the very best main crop potato on the market. All the Carmen Seedlings (originated by Mr. Elbert S. Carmen, late editor of the Rural New Yorker) have proven popular; but the Carmen No. 8 is already rivaling in popularity the Burbank, and is undoubtedly a much better potato. Without anv exception whatever it is the GREATEST YIElDING POTATO ever introduced, and it may be fairly claimed. that it does not yield any small tubers at all. The tubers are borne very close to the plant, a single turn of the fork turning out every potato. It is of large size and of the shapeliest form. Eyes are few and shallow. It is a perfect keeper, and is not surpassed as a table variety. Skin and flesh are = extreme whiteness. It has no hollow hearts or any dark parts. ¥% pk. 25e; pk. 40c; bu. $1.35; 2% bu. $38.

The vines are strong, with excep- tionally LUXURIANT DEEP GREEN FOLIAGE, making a healthy growth when other varieties are cut down by blight. The tubers are of good size and lie closely together in tne nill. In form the tubers are slightly ob- MN long, rather broad and quite thick i through, SEE ILLUSTRATION. wii} The eyes are small and there is but min little waste in paring. The skin is thin, smooth, and glossy, OF A LIGHT GOLDEN TINT, having just sufficient coloring to distinguish it from the white-skinned varieties. The flesh is fine grained, of a PURE PEARLY WHITENESS, AND COOKS TO A DRY FLOURY WHITENESS. Unlike most of the main-crop or late’ sorts, which need to be well dried out before they will cook properly, these new VERMONT “GOLD COINS,” even when freshly dug, cook dry and mealy. Its vigorous

RURAL NEW YORKER NO 2. |
So well known the country over as to need no description here. Largely planted as a main crop vari- ety and never failing to bring the top of the market if properly grown. It belongs to a very distinct class in which the vines are long, spindling, with dark purple stalks, dark green leaves, and purple blossoms. Tubers are large, nearly round, flattened, of uniform size, with very smooth, white skin, and numerous in the hill. Very attractive. We have found that this potato is apt to grow too large, and to be hollow. This can be overcome by using: plenty of seed, thus crowding the potatoes in the hill. In fact a person who thoroughly understands this potato, can grow it almost any size he wishes. It keeps well,’ never gets Scabby, and is at its best for eating in June and July after other potatoes are gone, % pk. 25c; pk. 40c.

HUNKEL’S SEED CORN.
With no other farm product does the crop so much depend upon the nature of the seed than with Corn. It is not only a matter of Germination, but the greatest importance is its Vigor and Vitality, produced by most careful and scientific breeding in a Northern Climate. To produce good crops and to be sure of the crop maturing, Northern Farmers must plant thoroughly acclimated Northern Grown Seed Corn. Western and Southern grown seed will never do well in Wisconsin and the Northwest. Insist on knowing where your seed corn was grown. We offer three varieties of Select Wisconsin Grown Seed Corn, both shelled and on the ear, and recommend it to all of our customers who want a choice corn that can be depended upon to ripen in the north every year, and to produce good crops.
Corn on the Ear—This is the ideal way of buying Seed Corn as the purchaser can always see exactly what he is buying. All the Agricultural Colleges recommend the buying of Seed Corn in this way. We offer Fire-dried selected stock, all the imperfect ears having been thrown out. While the ears we offer are not as large as those grown in the Corn Belt, they are certainly fine for Wisconsin and the Northwest,
and are second to none in vitality, earliness and productiveness.
Shelled Corn—The Wisconsin Grown Shelled Corn that we offer is shelled from ears saved for ear corn, which on examination were not considered perfect enough to be sold as ear corn, or had to be broken for eurther, exasunatien. It is all fire-dried and is tipped by hand when shelled, thus throwing out all the wea ernels.
All of our Seed Corn is Tested several times during the season and we know positively that it will ger- minate before it leaves our hands. At the same time we recommend that our customers order early, and test it themselves, making sure that it will grow before planting it.
Our Seed Corn Guarantee—We absolutely guarantee our Seed Corn to be as represented. If not as repre- sented, simply return it and your money will be refunded. :
NOTICE—When ordering Corn, name second choice, as our stock of Wisconsin Grown Seed Corn is very limited, and we may be sold out of the wariety you call for. We will not substitute without permission.
SILVER KING (WISCONSIN NO. 7.) THE BEST WHITE CORN FOR WISCONSIN AND THE NORTHWEST.
This new variety of corn was brought from Northern Iowa into Wisconsin by the Wisconsin Agri- cultural Experiment Station and here selected and developed for ear- liness and uniformity of type so that it can now be planted with safety anywhere in the Northwest with certainty. of its ripening. It is a pure white dent corn with a white cob. The kernel is broad and deep, with well developed and vigorous germ, forming a perfect cylindrical ear, about 8 to 9 inches long, well filled out to the tips and butts. The ears dry out very rapidly, thus escaping early frosts. A heavy yielder, yields having been reported all the way from 50 to 100 bushels of good shelled corn per acre. The stalks are rather short and heavy, averaging about 8 to 11 feet in height, and are very leafy.
At the last Wisconsin State Fair which took place in Milwaukee the first week in September, there were many fully ripened ears of Silver King corn exhibited, showing that this variety is very early and that it will certainly ripen in the North. While the average yield for all corn ix: Wisconsin is about 35 bushels per acre, 275 members of the Experi- ment Station report an average yield of 60 bushels and Prof. Moore of the Agricultural College reports a yield of over 75 bushels per acre at the University Farm. All of our cus- tomers are very enthusiastic over this corn and will plant much larger acreages this season than in the past.

WISCONSIN YELLOW DENT. THE LARGEST EARLY YELLOW DENT CORN FOR THE NORTHWEST,
Also Known as Murdock Yellow Dent. It is a heavy yielding, large Yellow Dent Corn, so early that it can be grown with safety in the Northern States. It originated in Wisconsin and has been grown here for so many years that the type has become thoroughly established. It is truly a 90 day corn and matures shortly after the Wisconsin No. 8 The ears average about 8 to 9 inches in length and weigh about 10 ounces; always well filled out way to the tips; many rowed, usually about 18 to 22 rows. Kernels are deep and are set very compactly on the cob; color of corn is a bright golden yellow. It is not a tall growing variety. Very productive, easily yielding from 70 to 100 bushels of shelled corn per acre on ordinary soil. Its great vigor enables it to withstand dry weather remarkably and to give a good crop with ordinary cultivation, when other varieties fail. It is a variety we can readily recom- mend to our customers. All of our stock is Wisconsin grown, is carefully selected and is very choice. We, offer it both shelled and on the ear. Prices same as for Wisconsin No. 8.
MINNESOTA NO. 13.
The Minnesota No. 13 is an extra early yellow dent varie- ty introduced by Prof. Hayes, the well known agriculturist of the Minnesota Experiment Station. It is a full yellow dent with,kernels packed closely on the cob, well filled from tip to butt. The ears average 8 inches in length and are usually borne two on a stalk. The stalks grow to a height of seven feet and heing leafy make excellent fodder. Thoroughly matures in from 80 to 90 days and yields 65 to 100 bushels per acre. Our seed is Minnesota grown from stock obtained direct from the originators. Prices same as for Wisconsin No. 8.

SEED BARLEY.
ODERBRUCKER BARLEY. (WISCONSIN No. 55.)
THE HEAVIEST YIELDING AND PLUMPEST 6-ROWED BARLEY EVER INTRODUCED.
This new Barley was introduced in 1906 by the Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment Station. It is a stiff-strawed, heavy-yielding, six-rowed, bearded variety. It ripens about the same time as the Mandscheurt and is similar to this variety in manner of growth and general appearance, but it has a plumper kernel and is much heavier. It has been tested by many members of the Experiment Association and all report it to yield from 5 to 10 bushels more per acre than any other barley, without exceptions. It is pronounced excellent for malting purposes by all brewers and malsters who have used it. It is an exceptionally good feeding barley as its protein content is about 15 per cent or nearly double the amount of protein found in any other variety. Prof. Moore of the Agricultural College of Wisconsin makes the following state- ment: From all points of view Oderbrucker Barley is the most satisfactory Barley grown on the station farm. We advise our customers to sow this barley as we estimate that if this variety is sown the yield can be increased one-third with the same acreage.
The seed we offer of this new Barley was grown from stock obtained direct from the Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment Station. Order early, as our stock is limited. % pk. 25c; pk. 40c; bu. $1.25; 5 bu. $5.75; 10 bu. $11.00. Prices on larger quantities on application. z
MANDSCHEURI BARLEY,
An early six rowed variety maturing 80 to 90 days after sowing. Very strong strawed and well stooled, bearing large, well filled heads of plump heavy grain, possessing fine malting qualities. Adapts itself readily to all soils. Prof. Henry of the Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment Station, is oud in its praises, and hopes that its cultivation will become general throughout all of our Barley growing states. This Mandscheuri should not be confused with the old Manshury, it being a much stronger grower, having plumper grain and usually yielding from 12 to t5 bushels more thar. that sort.
We have an extra fine stock of this Barley, grown from the genuine imported seed, and thoroughly cleaned and free from smut and oats. % pk. 25ce; pk. 40c; bu. $1.25; 5 bu. $5.75; 10 bu. $11.00. Special prices in quantity.

CHAMPION BEARDLESS BARLEY.
The Champion is an improved Beardless Barley. It is similar to the Suceess Beardless, but it is larger, has stronger straw and yields more per acre. It is absolutely beardless and nice to handle, and the straw may be fed to stock without fear of injury. It is earlier than any bearded variety, better to seed with, better for feeding, and yields just as well. It often does well where bearded barley will not thrive. Try it. % pk. 30c; pk. 50c; bu. $1.50; 5 bu. $7.00; 10 bu. $13.50. Special prices on large lots.
WHITE HULLESS BARLEY.
Also known as “Ideal Barley” and “Giant White Hulless Barley.” It grows very large, and has heavy, well-filled heads without beards, and in the field looks like the Beardless Barley, but the kernels shell out without the hulls, and are the handsomest plump and oval shaped white berries that have ever been grown, It is not a malting barley and can only be used for feeding purposes, and as a fattening feed for hogs it has no equal; it makes sweeter meat and nicer lard than corn. It is a vigorous grower and can be sown after all other grain is sown and will mature before wheat or oats will. It can also be sown for hay, and if sown early enough two crops can be cut. Peck 50c; bu. $1.65; 5 bu. $7.50. Special prices in quantity,
Champion Beardless Barley. FLAX.
Flax is one of the most profitable crops, especially on new land. We have high grade seed.

SWEDISH SELECT OATS. (WIS. No. 4.) GREATEST OF ALL OATS,
Introduced into this country from Russia several years ago by Prof. M. A. Carleton of the U. S. Agricultural Departinent, and sent out oe the various Experiment Stations for trial... The Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment Station received some of these oats and afier.testing them for four years with 36 other varieties, Prof. Moore pronounced Swedish Select the most satisfactory of all. They seem to be well adapted to high land and seem to do better on poorer land than any other variety. Thev have now been grown for several years and are claimed by all to be The Best American Oat,
The following are some of the reasons why these oats are considered
“the best.” Fore 1st. They outyield all others; every one who has tried them testifies to

Special prices on large lots.
NEW KHERSON, OR SIXTY DAY OATS.
The Kherson Oat was recently introduced by the Nebraska Experiment Sta- tion who recommend it as the best variety for Kansas and Nebraska. The same variety was introduced by the South Dakota Expertment Station under the name of Sixty Day Oats. Prof. Carleton of the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture says that the two came from the same section in Europe and are identical. They are a light yellow oat and are extremely early; straw short but very stiff; grains small but very heavy and numerous, with remarkably thin hull, which is easily shelled off. On account of their earliness they escape the attacks of rust, and will stand up on low, rich prairie soils. They have done well wherever tried both in tht north and south and we recommend our customers to try them. Our seed is select and was grown from seed obtained from the originators. Pkt. 40c; bu. $1.10; 5 bu. $5.25; 10 bu. $10.00. Special prices on large lots.
SILVER MINE OATS.

A popular variety in many sections; has the reputation of yielding immense The grain is usually large, plump and It is quite a hardy vigorous variety and
will please our customers. It stands up well and shows very little tendency ta rust. Our stock is pure. Pk. 35c; bu. $1.00; 10 bu. $9.00.
pe BLACK TARTARIAN OATS,
The most prolific and distinct yariety of black Oats ever introduced. Many farmers are convinced that Black Oats are _ more reliable croppers than white, which is to a certain extent
true, as they will endure more hardships and exposure and still make a good crop. These oats are the result of an importation of seed from England several years ago, where black oats are much preferred and about three times as many are grown as of white oats. They are fully as good as the white sort for feeding, and are very early. The straw is very stiff, the heads are long, and yield heavy crops of grain, weighing thirty-five to forty-five pounds to the measured bushel. Claimed by many to be almost drought proof.
Our seed has been carefully grown. They have always been free from rust, mainly on account of vigorous growth and early maturity. Pk. 40c; bu. $1.15. Special prices in quantity.
BUCKWHEAT.
Silverhull—This isc a very thin hulled Buckwheat of gray- silvery color; kernels are of medium size and very solid. It is @ prolific grower and the heaviest yielder yet introduced and will
make first-class Buckwheat flour. It is earlier than the common |
Buckwheat and remains in bloom much longer, making it excel- lent for bees. Lb. 20c, postpaid. Pk. 50c; bu. $1.50. Special prices in quantity. Grain bags extra at 20c each. ~-
New Japanese—This is a brown or almost black variety, and fs very early, about a week earlier than the Silverhull. It is a vigorous grower of both vines and seed, and yields quite heavily. The flour made from it is of the best quality. It does not require as thick seeding as otner Buckwheat as it branches out so much. It is perfectly hardy and will grow in the extreme north. Prices same as for the Silverhull.

DURUM OR MACARONI. (Kubanka.)
This is the most valuable wheat for dry and semi-arid regions, yielding heavy crops where other sorts fail. It resists drought, the attack of Fungus pests, rust and smut, and always furnishes an excellent hard grain inclined to be brownish-red. in color and very large in size. The heads are compactly formed and are bearded, It is a sure crop. In the north it should be sown as a spring wheat while south of the 35th parallel (Kansas and further south) it can be sown in fall as Winter Wheat. It is now considered a wheat of the highest class ranking with all other varieties as a milling wheat. There are several varieties of Durum wheat; the best and the one recommended by the U. S. Agri- cultural Dept. is the Kubanka Variety. This is the variety that we offer, and

MINNESOTA No. 169,
A new spring. wheat of wonderful value. It is an improved Blue Stem or Velvet Chaff Wheat, which has for many years been the leading hard red spring wheat. It produces strong and vigorous zrowing plants, the chaff of which en- closing the grain is much thicker and firmer than on most wheat, on account of which it will not be as easily affected by rust and blight as other kinds. It is also free from smut, which does so much damage to other varieties. The grain is always nice and plump, flinty and almost transparent. It produces about 3 bushels more to the acre than any other variety; in other words, the man that sows the No. 169 will inerease his profit by about $3.00 an acre. Our stock is

A new grain for dry lands, introduced from Russia. It is neither wheat, rye, nor barley, and yet it seems to be a combination of all. For fattening cattle, poultry, horses, sheep, pigs, ete., it is ahead of all other grains. It yields 80 to 100 bushels rich food, besides giving 4 tons of hay to the acre. Excellent for pasture and can be fed in green state. The heads are similar to two-rowed bar- ley, the spikelets being separated so that it is not easily injured by the weather. Will produce enormous crops on land where wheat will not grow any longer. Dry weather does not seem to have any effect on it. It is a wonderful stooler and a robust grower and can be fed same as oats with the hulls. Grain also can be separated from the hulls and ground into an excellent flour.

THOUSAND HEADED KALE.
A native of Europe, producing a tremendous mass of beautiful cut and curled leaves, which are long, large and rich, of a beautiful green color, and are eagerly sought and eaten by sheep, horses and cattle. The seed:can be sown early in April or any other time thereafter until midsummer. The best way is to plant with a garden drill, dropping the seeds about eight inches apart in the row, and the rows twelve inches apart each way. One pound this way will be sufficient for an acre, but if you wish to sow it broadcast use three pounds per acre. Our Thousand Headed Kale is hardier than Rape, and therefore becomes a mag- nificent plant to sow in conjunction with Rape, so that you can figure to pasture sheep, cattle, hogs and poultry a month to eight weeks longer by having a few acres of Thousand Headed Kale than you can on Rape alone. It grows to a height of 3 or 4 feet, the roots penetrating to a great depth in the sub-soil, so that the plant is not affected by drought. It grows with great rapidity after being fed off and flour- ishes in all kinds of soils. Lb. 35c, postpaid. By freight, 1b. 25c; 5 lbs. $1.00; 10 lbs. $1.90; 100 ibs.

SAND VETCH (VICIA VILLOSA). ie
Also called Winter Vetch. An annual plant, similar in growth to a ver
iS 3 ’ y slemoae and straggling pea vine, the vines often reaching “10 to 12 feet in ength, anl covering the ground with a dense mat of forage 2 feet in depth. Stock of all_kinds eat it greedily, both in pastures and when cut for hay. It bears our heaviest frosts without injury, and is’ one of the few plants which can be grown during the winter in the more Southern states for green man- uring. _While it does not make a very vigorous growth during the winter, it yet lives and STOWws, and is ready to push into quick and luxuriant growth as soon as ever the mild days of spring set in. When once this growth starts, it continues through wet and drought, and the quantity of forage made is wonderful. It has made as much as 45,000 pounds of green feed to the acre, - and this feed is of the most nutricious character. It is much richer in protein (the muscle and growth producing element) than Red Clover, or than the Cow Pea, while in fat-producing matter is is nearly the equal of those plants. As a soil improver it is richer in nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash than any of the Clovers or the Cow Pea. If intended for forage or hay, it should be sown at the rate of 30 or 40 pounds to the acre, with a light seeding of oats, wheat or rye. This will hold up the vines, and make it easier to cut and harvest the crop. If intended for pasture or a soil improver, sow alone at the rate of 50 or 60 pounds to the acre. Sow early in spring or in August and September, on well prepared land. When sown alone it will make a perfect mat all over the field, which Sand Vetch. will continue to increase in thickness all through the spring and summer, as the vines fall down and grow through again. When plowed down the soil will be found to be as mellow and full of vegetable matter as possible, and will be in the finest condition for the production of wheat, oats, corn, potatoes and a grain crop.

EARLY AMBER SUGAR CANE (SORGHUM).
Claimed by Dairymen everywhere to be the most valuable fod- der in existence for their use. It is a very economical fodder plant as it yields as high as 50 tons of green food per acre. _This fod- der is of the very best quality, is sweet, tender and nutricious and is greedily eaten by cattle, horses and hogs. Cows give more and richer milk from its use. It can be cut several times during the season if not allowed to grow too high, and makes good, sweet hay. Also a very profitable crop to grow for seed, which is excellent for poultry, and can be ground and substituted for buckwheat flour. This variety also makes a fine syrup. If sown for fodder use 50 to 100 lbs. broadcast per acre; for the syrup or seed, 15 to 25 lbs. in drills. Lb. 20c postpaid.

SOY OR SOJA BEANS.
Valuable forage plants which are coming more and more into favor with dairymen and farmers throughout the northern states. For pasturing or feeding as green fodder they are very valuable, as they contain a large amount of protein; the dry beans ground -to a meal also make an excellent food relished by all stock. Soy Beans like clover, are nitrogen gatherers and enrich the soil wherever grown. They withstand drought re- markably well and will give a good cutting of green forage at the time when other feeds are shrivelled and wilted. Very pro- ductive, the yield of beans running as high as 50 bushels per acre. Sow at corn planting time, after the ground has become warm, broadcast if to be cut for hay, about 1 bushel of seed per acre. Or if to be harvested and threshed sow in rows 30 inches apart and about 4 inches apart in the row. One peck of seed will plant an acre in this way. Cultivate same as corn. Our Seed is Northern Grown. We offer two leading varieties as fol- lows:
Ito San (Early Yellow)—The variety most largely grown. Small, early yellow beans. The best for hay and soiling and a very heavy seed producer. Pkt. 5c; pt. 20c; qt. 35c, postpaid. By freight, qt. 20c; % pk. 60c; pk. $1.00; bu. $3.50.

CANADA FIELD PEAS.
Canada Field Peas can be very profitablly sown along with oats and either eaten off the field by cattle or hogs, or allowed to ripen when they can be readily separated by any farm seed mill. In this way two crops can be grown at the one Guitivation. Sow broadcast, if alone, 2 bu. of peas per acre, or in combination 1 bu. peas to 1% bu. of oats, mixed, to the acre.

COW PEAS.
_Cow Peas are held in very high esteem for forage purposes, especially on sandy soils. It has been said that the Cow Pea has almost as much agricultural impor- tance in the South as red clover in the North or Alfalfa in the far West. Great changes are now in progress, however, in farming methods, and there is today a wide spread disposition to plant Cow Peas farther north than formerly, on account of their quick growing habit, their drought resisting ability, and their great value for silage and soil improvement purposes. They will thrive wherever con- ditions favor corn. The yield of green fodder per acre often reaches 5 tons, and is sometimes: as much as $ or 9 tons. Some growers turn the mature vines under with the plow. Some harvest the hay and plow down the stubble. Others ripen and pick the seed, and then plow the vines under. Some Cow Peas are trailers, with very long vines; others assume the bush form. Sow seed at the rate of 1 to ae, bu. per acre. The Cow Pea is a nitrogen gatherer, and hence improves the

A fodder plant grown largely in some parts of the country. Somewhat resembles corn in its general appearance, but the leaves are much longer and broader and the stalks contain sweeter sap. In its perfection it produces a great number of shoots growing as much as 12 feet high, very thickly covered with leaves. Eighty-five stalks have been grown from one seed, attaining a height of eleven feet. Horses and cattle eat it as freely as young sugar corn. Plant as soon as ground becomes warm at usual corn planting time, in hills, three to four feet apart each way, two seeds to the hill. Teosinte is one of the heaviest yielding forage plants known, having yielded 50 tons of fodder to the acre, Large

A good plan is to burn a quantity of brush and rubbish in the spring on the ground intended for the seed bed; then dig and thoroughly pulverize the earth and mix with the ashes, after which the seed may be sown and covered very lightly. When the plants are about six inches high, transplant into rows four or five feet apart each way: cultivate thoroughly with plow and hoe.

An excellent fodder plant, yielding two crops of fodder during a season. It grows from 4 to 5 feet high, making a straight upward growth. The stem or stalk bears numerous wide leaves. The stalks keep green and are brittle and juicy, not hardening like other varieties of sorghum, and making excellent fodder, either green or dried, which is relished by cattle, horses and mules. The seed crop is also heavy, yielding from 60 bushels upward to the acre. The seed is excellent feed for poultry. For the grain, sow in rows 3 feet apart, 5 to 10 pounds of seed to the acre. For fodder, sow ¥% to 1 bushel, either in drills or broadcast. Lb. 20c, postpaid. Pk. 40c; bu. (50 lbs.) $1.25. Write for prices on larger quantities. We also have a cheaper grade for poultry.

Probably there is no other fodder plant more favorably known than Millet, and yet there is not enough attention paid to it. Nothing pays better for a stock raiser and dairy farmer than a few acres in Mil- let of some kind, for it is of the greatest feeding value and milk pro- ducing quality, and yielding at least again as much of the most delicious hay per acre as Timothy and Clover. It should be sown regularly every : year and not merely as a catch crop. When spring is so unfavorable ; that other crops fail to grow or when the season is so late and wet Kaffir Corn. that other crops will not mature any more, then there is always the greatest demand for Millet. We will fill all orders at the low prices quoted below as long as our large stock lasts, but reserve the right to change to market prices when it is exhausted. Grain sacks extra at 20 cents each.
GERMAN MILLET. :
In the North, Millet is sown almost altogether for hay, and for that puropse Southern grown seed is much the best.. It grows taller than does that from Northern seed, and that means more hay. It is finer than that from Northern seed, and that means better hay. In fact, it is our judgment, based on an exper- ience of many years, that a farmer had better, from the standpoint of profit alone, pay $2.00 a bushel for true Southern grown German millet than to sow the best Northern Millet as a gift. Millet seed pro- duced in the North, even from Southern seed, becomes what we call Common Millet. Not only does the
= plant change its character, becoming coarser and much more dwarf, but the seed itself shows a change, and is readily distinguished by those experienced in handling it. The seed that we offer is True Southern Grown, and not the cheap Northern grown seed offered by many dealers at a low price. Lb. 15c, postpaid. Bk. 50c; bu. $1.50; 2 or more bu. at $1.40.

HOG OR BROOM CORN MILLET.
This is grown for the same purposes for which the other Millets are sown, but makes inferior hay unless cut very young. It however, yields enormously of seed, even 60 to 70 bushels to the acre, and this seed is very advantageously used for fattening swine and other stock, and is of special value for this purpose in sections where corn cannot be safely or cheaply grown. Lb. 15c, postpaid. Pk. 50c; bu. $1.60.
SIBERIAN MILLET.
A new variety from Russia, earlier than either German Millet or Hungarian, and consequently very valuable for the North, and yields remarkably. The South Dakota Experiment Station pronounces it “the most promising variety yet tested.” The plant stools to a re- markabie degree, and is not subject to rust. Lb, 15c, postpaid. Pk. 40c; bu.

JAPANESE (Barnyard) MILLET.
Also called “Billion Dollar Grass.” Entirely distinct from any other Millet. It grows 6 to 8 feet high, stands remarkably well not- withstanding its great height, and yields from 10 to 12 tons green fodder per acre. When cured it makes an excellent quality of hay, and is also much relished as green fodder. If to be made into hay, cure as you would a heavy crop of Clover. It may be sown from the middle of May to the ist of July, broadcast, at the rate of 15 Ibs. per acre; but it is better to sow it in drills, 12 to 18 inches apart, = using 10 to 12 lbs. per acre, and hoe between the rows to keep down ’ all weeds until the plant attains a height of 12 to 18 inches, when its rapid growth will smother all weeds.

After being cut, it grows quickly and remains bright and green through the season, It is also a good variety for hay if cut when in blossom, as it is then most nutritious. Flour- ishes best in moist soil. (Bu. 24 lbs.) Lb. 10c; 10 lbs. 90c; 100 lbs. $7.50.
Italian Rye Grass—This is one of the Grasses not well known, but very valuable, and deserving more attention. It grows on almost any soil, but thrives best on rich, moist land. On ground best adapted for it, and especially if irrigated, immense crops can be produced, as it can be cut 4 or 5 times, and yields as high as 7 or 8 tons of dry hay per acre. It is well adapted for pastures, on account of its early growth in spring and its quick and successive after- growth when closely cropped. It grows 2 to 4 feet high, with an abundance of foliage, and is much liked by cattle and stock generally. When sown alone, about 20 pounds of seed per acre is sufficient. (Bu. 18 lbs.)

ALFALFA OR LUCERNE. (GOVERNMENT TEST 99.07 PURE.)
Our Seed is Absolutely Free from Yellow Trefoil, Burr Clover and Dodder.
One of the most valuable and largely grown forage plants. It requires a deep, rich, well-drained soil. It should not be sown on heavy, sticky clay soil where water stands near the surface. Its greatest value lies in the enormous yield of sweet and nutritious forage, which is highly relished by all kinds of stock. Not only this, but it will continue to yield about ten tons to the acre for 10 to 15 years. The roots grow very long, often growing to the depth of 10 to 15 feet, thus making the plant almost drought-proof, and at the same time enriching the soil. The seed should be sown in April at the rate of 20 to 30 pounds to the acre.
The seed that we offer is of the finest grade obtainable. Lb. 35c, postpaid. By freight, lb. 25c; pk. $3.50:
bu. (60 lbs:) $12.50. (Subject to market fluctuations.) TURKESTAN ALFALFA.
Perfectly hardy; withstands drought, heat and cold; yields the heaviest and richest crops of fodder; the best clover for hay and permanent pasture. g
In Turkestan, Asia, where this seed grows, the winters are very cold and the summers dry and hot, so that it is able to withstand the greatest extremes of cold and heat. It has been exposed to a minimum temperature of 45 degrees below zero at the Wyoming Experiment Station and it eame through unharmed. We consider it superior to the common Alfalfa, as it makes a much faster growth and the hay produced is much finer and more nutritious. The seed we offer is imported direct from Turkestan.

HUNKEL’S SPECIAL GRASS MIXTURES. For Permanent Meadows and Pastures,
There are a great many parts of the country where only one .or two kinds of grasses are known, and mostly sown, and these are Timothy and Clover. While Timothy is a splendid grass, and Clover is the foundation of all successful farming, neither is permanent, nor well adapted for pasturing, and both are easily affected by drought and frosts, thereby making it necessary to re-sow every year or two. On this account we have made and offer the following permanent mixtures. These mixtures are put up with par- ticular care, and with the best grades of seed only. We know that they will produce a heavy and thick growth, and will last for years. The amount of seed necessary to seed an acre depends upon the land and the location, but we believe in heavy seeding, and think that 35 pounds would be a fair average. These mixtures consist of the following grasses, mixed in proper proportion to give best results: Med- ium Red Clover, Mammoth Red Clover, Alsike, Alfalfa, White Clover, Crimson Clover, Fancy Red Top, Blue Grass, Timothy, Orchard Grass, Meadow Fescue, Hard Fescue, Sheep’s Fescue, Meadow Foxtail, Tall Meadow Oat Grass, English Rye Grass, Italian Rye Grass, Creeping Bent, and Rough Stalked Meadow Grass. Meadow Mixture No. 1—On good land, neither too dry nor too wet. Price, lb. 25c, (by mail 35c); 10 Ibs. $1.50; 35 lbs. (1 acre) $4.00. $4 Meadow Mixture No. 2—For high and dry land. Lb 25c, (by mail 35c); 10 Ibs. $1.75; 35 lbs. (1 acre) .65.
Meadow Mixture No. 3—For wet, late land. Price same as No. 1.
- Pasture Mixture No. 1—On good land, neither too dry nor too wet. Price same as for Meadow Mixture 0. 2. :
Pasture Mixture No. 2—For dry land. Price same as Meadow Mixture No. 2.
Pasture Mixture No. 3—For wet land. Price same as Meadow Mixture No. 2.
Mixture fer Renovating Old Pastures and Meadows—Grass lands that have become bare and thin can be improved by sowing this mixture at the rate of 10 pounds to the acre. It is advisable to harrow the sod with a sharp tooth harrow before sowing the seed. Sow the seed broadeast and then pass over with a heavy roller. Lb. 20c, (by mail 30c); 10 Ibs. (enough for 1 acre) $1.50; 100 lbs. $13.50.
Hog Pasture Mixture—This is a mixture of grasses and clovers which will give the quickest and best results. An early sowing will furnish a fine pasture by July of the same year. Every hog raiser should have an acre of this. Price, 14 lbs. (enough for 1 acre) $1.60.

THE AUTO SPRAY.
A seif-operating or automatic sprayer. Hight or ten strokes of the plunger in air chamber will compress enough air to dis- charge the entire contents and make a continuous spray for nine minutes. The “Auto Spray” has been improved by the addi- tion: of-the “‘Auto Pop” shown in illustration. This is an auto- matic valve which is closed by the air pressure used to operate the “Auto Spray.” In operation a lever is moved by simply clos- ing the hand, thus opening the valve and allowing an instan- taneous discharge of spray. By releasing the lever it closes it- self automatically, hence the spray iS in perfect control. The Auto Spray will spray any liquid and is also excellent for whitewashing.

: THE “KANT-KLOG” SPRAYER- A high grade compressed air sprayer. Hasily operated, a few strokes of the air pump thor- oughly agitating the solution and charging the sprayer withe compressed air. This being a very powerful and elastic force, will, as soon as the thumb presses the “Shut-Off,” force out the liquid in the form of either a spray or solid continuous stream, as desired. A slight pressure of the thumb starts the spray; remove it and the spray stops immediately. Spec- ial attention is called to the new “Kant-Klog” nozzle, which ean be successfully cleaned without stopping the spray or removing the nozzle; it is the only nozzle that gives both flat and round sprays, or _ solid streams. After sprayer is charged you need not stop for anything; the machine will work as fast as you can walk. Holds between 4 and 5 gallons. Made both in galvanized steel and brass; furnished complete with all attachments at prices given. Prices.

THE BRANDT SPRAYER.
z A new sprayer designed to overcome the many objections to the com- pressed air sprayers now on the market.

Can be used for one or two rows, and will spray from 15 to 25 hills of potatoes with each stroke of the pump. Res- ervoir holds 3 gallons of liquid, enough to spray a row a mile long, with one filling. Galvanized Steel Tank. Price. $5,00; with shut-off nozzle, $5.50. Two row attachment, $1.50.

THE PERFECTION _ SPRAY PUMP.
This pump requires no fastening of any kind, it holds itself down. All the operator needs do is to press the plunger down; it rises of itself, the upward stroke being made by a brass spring forcing the _ eylinder apart. The pump is all brass, with no leather or rubber packing. It works easy and will do many different kinds of work. Pumps from pail, barrel, tank, spring or _ creek, without fastenings of any kind, and stands firmly wherever placed. Throws three sizes of solid continuous streams and two sizes of fine round spray; has automatic mixer to keep solution stirred. It is also used for whitewashing. Price, each $3.50.
LITTLE GIANT SPRAY PUMP.

Designed to be set in a G pail with the foot-rest <‘¥ outside and being very ; light can be easily car- ried around in a bucket, making it just the thing for spraying bushes, trees, etc., as well as window cleaning and/| washing buggies. It is a good} spray pump for whitewashing poultry houses. Each, $3.50. THE STANDARD SPRAY PUMP
Entirely different from al other Spray Pumps. The illus tration below shows the Stand- ard Spray Pump furnished with three feet of hose and strainer when used with bucket, enab- ling the operator to walk around without moving the bucket, spraying the entire tree from the ground without the use of elevated platforms, etc. Can also be used with knapsack or barrel with any length of hose. The operator does the pumping and spraying with the same hand. It is the best pump for whitewashing that we have ever seen. The Standard Spray Pump is at least five times more powerful than any other pump, does the work in much less time and much less effort; in fact it is the best thing of its kind on the market. It must be seen in operation to be appreciated; those who have used this pump could not get along without it. Complete with two nozzles and three feet of hose 4.25

HUNKEL’S CUT CLOVER HAY.
Our Cut Clover Hay is the very best the market affords and is the standard ‘‘Green K'ood” for winter Clover hay contains over 90 times more lime (for the shells) than does any kind of grain, and nearly as much solid matter as corn, hence it is a concentrated food and highly nourishing. To feed it, pour boiling water over it late in the after- noon, cover the vessel with a tight lid and let it steam, swell and soften until morning. By this treat- ment it becomes green, pungently odorous and an appetizing food for any kind of poultry. It may be fed mixed with a soft mash, or placed in a trough, or scattered on a clean surface. The fowls will pick it to pieces, eating all of it. including the stems. Cut clover makes a fine litter for brooders, especially for newly hatched chicks; it is healthy, invigorating and of lasting benefit. 5 lbs. 20c;°10 lbs, 30c; 25 lbs. 7T0c; 50 lbs. $1.19; 100 lbs. $2.00.

MARKET. HUNKEL’S GROUND BONE.
Ground dry bone is preferred by many poultrymen because it contains practically no water, grease or waste, as is the case with green cut bone; it also acts as a grit for grinding other foods. The great feeding properties of dry bone are phosphate of lime and nitrogen. Particularly valuable for young chicks and should always be Kept before them. As an aid to laying hens it is excellent.

The Beef Scraps we offer are ground especially for our trade and are guaranteed to contain from 60 to 65 per cent. of pro-

Hunkel’s Beef Scraps are the finest thing we know of to cause hens to lay during the winter and as high prices for eggs prevail at this season of : 3 the year they make very profitable feonin=) They can be fed either dry or in the mash. When feed- ing dry place in hopper and allow fowls to help themselves; they will never over-feed.

Blood Meal is a highly concentrated form of animal food, rich in albumen and egg forming materials. It runs very high in protein (87 per cent.) and contains very little moisture and fat. Do not think it is ex- pensive because price is higher per weight than other animal foods, as much less is required. It is odorless aud contains only pure blood, making it the cheapest animal egg food one the market to-day. Feed in the mash using about one pint for every 25 fowls... 5 lbs.

HUNKEL’S ROUP CURE.
Roup is a very contagious dis- ease, and if its ravages are not checked aS soon as possible after it appears in a flock, it will. soon infect every fowl in the flock. Be-
tagious roup.
Roup is caused by damp quar- ters, or drafts sweeping through the sleeping quarters.
Roup is not always found in the malignant form. It may seem to be only a slight cold and the germs will remain in a poultry
ing a single fowl. Then there will come a time when conditions are favorable for its development and it will break out and run througn the flock, killing many and leav- ing the remainder debilitated and incapable of producing eggs from which strong chicks may be hatched.
Symptoms. Running at the nose, watery eyes, a disposition to wipe the beak against the feathers under the wing, sticking them together, rattling in

the throat, swelled heads, canker in the mouth and
throat.
For a good many years it was thought that roup could not be cured and authorities recommended killing every fowl showing the disease. We now offer a cure for this dreadful disease that is effec- tive even.in advanced cases. Hunkel’s Roup Cure will quickly and permanently cure roup in its worst form, completely destroying the germs of the dis- ease and restoring perfect health and vigor. It is simply put in the drinking water and the fowl takes its own medicine.
A single package costing 50 cents, will make 25 gallons of medicine, which will be enough to cure a flock of 500 fowls. You cannot afford to lose even one common hen when a certain cure is offered at a price less than such a hen is worth. It prevents and cures coids and canker. It should be used occa- sionally, as a preventive, thus insuring the flock against this dreaded disease. Price, postpaid, 50ec.
CONKEY’S ROUP CURE.
Conkey’s Roup/
Cure positively cures roup in all of its forms. It is sim- Ply placed in the drinking water and the chicken takes its own medicine without knowing it. Coming into con- tact with the head and mucous mem- branes, it kills the germs at once. It is equally effective for turkeys and for canker in pigeons. Directions on everv package.

How to Use it—The vapor which rises from this liquid is what does the work. This vapor is lighter than air and hovers around the fowls, permeating the plumage, and contains an element which, while not harmful to human beings, fowls or animals, is deadly to lice, mites and all other parasites.
We claim that Hunkel’s Lice Killer is the easiest of any Lice Killer to apply, stronger (thus more effective) and that it is the most economical prepa- ration for destroying lice, mites, ticks or other in- sect parasites, ever placed on the market. It is easily used by spraying or painting the roosts and drooping boards in the house inhabited by the fowls to be treated. It works while the fowls sleep. If you use Hunkel’s Lice Killer it will save you time, money and trouble. Complete directions for using on the label of every can. Price, qt. 35c; % gal. 60c; gal. $1.00; 5 gals. $4.00. ;

The operation is very simple —the instructions are so full and explicit that any man, woman or child, after careful read- ing, will be able to per- form the operation. It is highly successful from” ‘every point of view. The demand for Capons far exceeds the supply, the price per pound being twice as much as for ordinary chicks. The object of caponizing is to largely increase the weight of fowls, causing them, in many cases, to grow as large as turkeys and weighing from 10 to 15 pounds, and to make the meat a finer flavor and very juicy and tender. Com- plete with instructions, $2.50; in velvet case, $2.75, postpaid. We send the book ‘Complete Guide for Caponizing”’ with every set. POULTRY KILLING KNIFE.

THE PRAIRIE STATE UNIVERSAL HOVER.
As the name of this hover implies, it has a large Or universal sphere of usefulness. It fact, there is practically no limit to its adaptability. It may be: used or attached to any form of outdoor brooder that is two feet or more in height; to any size or form of colony house, mushroom house, small portable building, dry-gocds box, shed, coop or organ or piano box.
Where regular colony houses are used the Univer- sal Hover can be attached to one until the chicks
have been given a good start and then removed to
another for a new brood. In this way it can be
- utilized to accomplish the work of four or five ex-
pensive combination colony brooders. It has proven to be thoroughly practical in actual service, giving perfect satisfaction during coldest weather of winter, changeable conditions of spring and the heat of summer.
Economy is one of its special features, aside from its wide range of adaptability, as will be seen from the fact that only a small No. 2 Sun Hinge Burner is required to furnish all the heat necessary in the coldest weather. In presenting this hover to the poultry raiser, we are confident that it will give him more genuine satisfaction than any device ever put out. It fills that want felt by everyone who raises poultry, for something they can use for this purpose anywhere, any time, and do the work well.
Prices: Hover complete with lamp, lamp box, smoke conductors and thermometer. $7.00; with reg- ulator, $8.00. The same without lamp box and smoke conductors (for use in indoor brooders) $1.00 less.

THE PRAIRIE STATE SAND TRAY INCUBATORS.
On this page we give a brief description of the famous Prairie State Incubators and Brooders for which we are the Northwestern Agents. -Upon request, a copy of the complete Prairie State Catalog, which fully describes all the machines, will be mailed free.
The Prairie State Incubators have been on the market for 29 years and have always been the leading incubators manufactured. While we do not claim them to be 100 per cent. hatchers, we do claim that they will hatch a higher per cent. of “livable’’ chicks than any other incubator inanufactured. By “livable” chicks we mean chicks that are hatched with vitality enough to live over the eritical period. Its the chicks that live that count for profit, not the chicks that you hatch. If you hatch 100 chicks from 100 eggs and half of them die during the first two weeks, the fault lies with your incubator; your chicks were im- properly hatched. The Prairie State hatches as near like the- old hen as human ingenuity can copy nature and therefore hatches a larger number of chicks that live than any other machine. Every chick hatched in a_ Prairie State Sand Tray Incubator is bubbling over with vitality the minute it pops out of the shell and it will thrive and grow rapidly.
The Prairie State is a hot air machine, insuring dura- bility and a long life. The outer case is nicely finished in natural wood. The space between the outer and inner case is insulated with cctton batting. The heating system is a combination of radiant heat on the top of machine with the diffusive system of ventilation. In this respect it differs from all others on the market. No diffusion
Prairie State Sand Tray Incubator. screens, with their faulty distribution, are used.
Regulater—The regulator is an all-steel and zinc thermostat, built on new and original lines, very powerful, safe and sure.
Ventilation—The eggs are ventilated perfectly by diffusion, but are not dried; the pure, fresh air passes over the eggs, not through them.
Moisture—A wet sand tray covering the entire bottom of the machine in close proximity to the eggs, furnishes the proper amount of moisture and reduces the e€aporation from the eggs to the same per cent. (9 to 11 per cent.) as under a hen. This insures chicks full of vitality—chicks that live—just like hen hatched chicks. Non-moisture machines hatch weak, small chicks of low vitality, which causes so many to die during the first two weeks.
Special Features—A1] machines have slides for trays on top of them for cooling and handling eggs. No diaphragms of any description are used. The egg chamber is very deep giving plenty of head room and a large air space. Hach machine contains double systen of ventilation. Eggs may be ventilated by diffusion, or by the opening of a single slide a direct current downward can be secured through the eggs. This is intended to be used only in drying off the chicks after the hatch is over. The bottom of the machine is coy- ered with a burlap mat so that it can be instantly cleaned. Made in four sizes as follows:

THE PRAIRIE STATE COLONY BROODERS.
The ordinary outdoor brooder will do fairly good work in mild, nice, bright weather, but in the cold, snowy or raw, wet days of eaily spring, when it is impossible to let the chicks out “for weeks at a time, they are bound to die from the close con- finement and lack of exercise. In the old style brooder, there is not sufficient floor or air space to meet the penned-up con- ditions, and the result is heavy loss of lives. The Prairie State Colony Brooder was designed to over- come this serious fault, and it does it successfully. It is of A sufficient size, so that when the weather is bad, the chicks may ‘remain in the brooder weeks at a time without injury to their health or retarding of their development. They have olenty of room for exercise and growth. After the chicks have grown to proper size, the hover and heater may be removed to another colony house if desired, the chicks being left undisturbed until removed to permanent quarters. Thus the same heater and hover can be used to rear a number of
al : broods during the season. Prairie State Colony Brooder. “PRAIRIE STATE COLONY BROODER No. 1. ;
This brooder house is constructed of tongued and grooved chestnut boards 1 inch thick. It is 3 feet wide, 6 feet long, 3 feet high in front and 2 feet high in rear, 18 sq. feet of floor space. The interior is divided by a movable partition into two compartments—the nursery room and the sun parlor or -ex~ ercising room; the floor throughout being on a level and 6 inches from the ground. There is an opening between the nursery and exercise room 2 feet wide, with a wooden door, hinged to open and close at will, so when desired the chicks may be confined to either apartment. With the Wooden door opened, the space is covered with a heavy felt curtain, slitted to permit easy passage of the chicks back and forth. Two glass doors furnish light and access to the chicks confined. A movable door below the glass doors brings each opening level with the floor and permits easy cleaning of each compartment. The roof is not hinged to the brooder and is easily taken off. This brooder like all other Prairie State Brooders is fitted with the Universal Hover. This hover can be removed as soon as the chicks are large enough and the brooder used as a colony house. Price, $20.00; with regulator for hover, $21.00.

and made up from only the finest and cleanest Grades of seed.
HUNKEL’S “MILWAUKEE PARK” LAWN SEED
AN EXTRA CHOICE MIXTURE
There is nothing that attracts more attention and favorable comment than a well designed house and artistically treated grounds and one of the essential features of such grounds is a beautiful lawn. A perfect and enduring lawn of this kind is only created by sowing a combination of various and suitable grasses. Several varieties are needed so that the lawn will be verdure-clad in all seasons, and the seed should be sown liberally, not only to produce a lawn quickly, but to prevent the weeds from developing, the seeds of which are in all soils. The coarse pasture grasses will never produce a fine lawn. We have made the formation of lawns a study, and know that if Hunkel’s “Milwaukee Park” Lawn Grass Seed is used and instructions are followed, a perfect and permanent lawn may be established. This lawn grass is composed of a balanced combination of native and foreign grasses that flourish under varied con- ditions of soils and climates, growing during different seasons of the year, so that a beautiful lawn is main- tained from snow to snow. No annual grasses are uSed in this mixture.
The quantity required for making new lawns: 100 lbs. per acre, or for renovating old lawns, about half this amount. One pound will seed a plot 20x20 feet (400 sq. feet.)
Price—¥% lb. 15c; lb. 25c; 3 Ibs. 65c; 5 lbs. $1.00; 10 lbs. $1.95; 15 lbs. $2.90; 25 lbs. $4.75; 50 lbs. $9.25; 100 lbs. $18.00. If wanted by mail, add 10c per lb. )
HUNKEL’S “STANDARD” LAWN SEED.
Also an excellent mixture but not to be compared with our ‘‘Milwaukee Park’ mixture. % lb. 10c; 1 lb. 20c; 5 lbs. 90c; 10 lbs, $1.75; 100 Ibs. $16.00. :
HUNKREL’S “CREAM CITY” LAWN GRASS MIXTURE. For Shady Places and Sandy Soils.
This mixture is composed of fine grasses which thrive naturally in the shade of trees or buildings, or are suitable for light sandy soil. They are the dwarf-growing evergreen varieties, which in their natural state are found growing in the woods or other sheltered places. 350 sq. feet require 1 lb. Price: Same as the “Milwaukee Park” Mixture,
HUNKEL’S MIXTURE FOR TENNIS COURTS, BOWLING GREENS, ETC.
A mixture of perennial grasses without clovers. This mixture is especially adapted to produce a firm, elastic, smooth and durable sward. Per lb. 25c; 5 lbs. $1.00; 15 lbs. $2.90; 25 lbs. $4.75; 50 Ibs. $9.25;
