AN AGENT
To Handle 5
BUCKEYE
INCUBATORS
In Omaha and Vicinity
MR. DEALER - f. i
Here is a line of incubators that will enable you to
outsell your competitors five to one (that's what our
agents do in ether cities) because you have both the
quality and price to back you up.
Buckeyes have been the best hot water incubators for
twenty-two years. They are made in five sizes with a
capacity of 60 eggs to 350 eggs. They are sold as low as
$8.00-and every Buckeye, regardless of price, is guar
anteed to hatch every hatchable egg.
r You can't beat that' combination, Mr. Deader, and you
have only to show the Buckeye in competition with other
brands to get the business. Even a novice can see the
difference. Write today and let us tell you all about
Buckeye incubators, and how you can handle them at a
handsome profit. We will give an exclusive agency to
the right party.
MR. CONSUMER -
We'll gladly send you a catalogue upon request, and
all orders received before we place an agency in Omaha,
will be shipped by prepaid freight at the same' prices our
agent would charge.

Meat of some kind Is an essential part
of the dally Mil of fare of the average
American family. Foreign nations ex
press surprise, not unmixed with envy, at
the amount of meat used by Americana
In all walks of life. The habit of meat
eating Is a firmly fixed national char
acteristic. It will change only under
stress of circumstances, even though our
vegetarian friends Insist that It would
be to our advantage, both physical and
financial, to leave meat entirely alone.
Fear has been expressed of late that
present economic conditions will com
pel a readjustment and that the averago
family will be forced to cut table ex
penses. It cannot be denied that the
problem of properly feeding the family
on the average Income Is becoming more
complicated, that the margin between
weekly recelptH and expenditures la con
stantly decreasing, and that Uie ques
tion of ways and means to keep things
running on the old basis Is a serious
one. It is right here that the Ameri
can hen steps in and offers to shoulder
a portion of the burden. The amount
of the load that she can carrv aunendu
entirely upon the opportunities afforded
ner. fcne cannot do the work alone;
she must have Intelligent co-oneratlnn.
It will be our endeavor to point out In
these contributions how advantage may
be taken of the hen's adaptability; how
to use her to cut down living costs; how
to house, feed and manage her In
order to secure the best results with the
smallest expenditure of tune, labor and
cash.
First, it must be recognized that poul
try meat at current prices Is not longer
a luxury; It Is a staple. Laying aside
the elements of palatalblity and ease
of digestion, both very Important, the
fact remains that at current market
prices certain classes of poultry products
are the cheapest meat foods when con
sidered on the basts of money cost,
amount of waste and the digestible nu
trients which they contain. Naturally,
this does not apply to the best grade of
table eggs, at the prices which main
tain during the late fall and winter
months, nor to such delicacies as early
broilers, aprlng roasters, winter squabs,
green geese and ducks, pheasants and
other poultry specialties of similar grade.
However, this point is clear many of
these luxuries can be produced on the
city or suburban lot at a cost so small
that they may, with economy, be used
on the family table.
The beginner must expect to devote
considerable time and thought to the
work, must gain wide experience, before
he can hope to make a name as a breeder
or establish a trade of this kind. How
ever, the opportunity exists and It Is one
of the things to look forward to as a
possible development The possibility will
serve to maintain the interest and make
the dally work less of a drudgery. In
the vast majority of cases the family
flock will best serve Its purpose when
managed with a view of producing for
the home table, at lowest possible cost,
the largest number of fresh eggs and
tender chickens. The person who starts
on this basis Is safe. If later experience
indicates the desirability of developing
the fancy end of the business, this can
be done with but slight chances of mak
ing serious mistakes.
We said that every backyard is a possi
ble location for a home flock. Of course,
this is not literally true. Frequently one's
neighbors object to having a "poultry
house' or a lot of "noisy chickens" main
tained within a few feet of their dwell
ings. In 'some cities ordinances have been
enacted which prohibit the keeping of
poultry in certain residential sections. If
these obstacles cannot be surmounted, one
must either abandon the Idea of poultry
raising or else remove to some more fa
vorable location.
Of course, there is always the possibil
ity of compromising on pigeons, which
are not as objectionable as poultry to
many people. Pigeons thrive even when
confined In restricted quarters and will,
with respectable care, produce a regular
supply of" squabs. These are a great del
icacy and possess certain practical ad
vantages as compared with chickens.
They make much more rapid growth than
the latter and require no care aside from
that given by the parent birds. They may
even be produced where there Is no land
available, as some succcsKful squab-producing
plants are In operation on the
roofs of city buildings.
Experimental work conducted under
government supervision has conclusively
demonstrated that fowl at 20 cents pet
pound Is a cheaper food than beef loin
at 25 cents, beef shoulder at 20 cents, pork
loin at 20 cents and fresh cod at 1 15
cents. It about equals eggs at 24 cents
per dozen and whole milk at 8 cents per
quart Further, that families able to pur
chase the expensive cuts of , beef can
equally well afford to buy the high-priced
poultry specialties previously mentioned
which, dollar for dollar, supply equal
amounts of nourishment, In addition to
furnishing a welcoming variety to the bill
of fare. ,
It these table products can with econ
omy be used when purchased on the open
market how much more freely should
they be consumed when produced by the
home flock at a fraction of market prices
Every city back yard offers possibilities
in the line of eggs, chocken and squab
production sufficient to supply an ordi
nary family; every suburban place and
village acre affords opportunities to
gr'ow enough of these staples for home
use and have a surplus to turn into cash
Such sales may frequently be made to
meet the actual expenses of the plant
so the home supply costs nothing but
the spare time and labor devoted to the
work. In exceptional cases small plants
operated on extensive methods do much
better than this, actually turning In a
handsome profit Occasionally they afford
the sole means of support of the owner
and his family.
The preference in these money-making
Intensive, plants must not be misunder
stood. Any considerable financial profits
from them are not as a rule, made
from the production of table eggs and
poultry, because the total output ot
these must of necessity be camparatlvely
small. In other vrds, the volume of
business Is too limited to permit one
to make any very large profits. . For
really large returns, one must depend
upon quality rather than quantity, sell
ing the birds for breeding or exhibiting
purposes and the eggs for hatching at
prices much in excess of market quota
tions. It is evident that the sale of a
dozen eggs at $3 or a cockrel at $6 gives
a greater margin of profit than the sale
of the same things at current market
rates. The prices quoted are not at all
visionary. Thousands of breeders are
regularly receiving more than this for
eggs and stock.
It Is frequently found that objections
to chickens are based on the existence
of conditions which are never found on
properly conducted plants. The houses
need not and should not be unsightly,
unsanitary or filthy. They may be made
attractive and they must be kept sweet
and clean If the best results are to be
secured. The adult fowls may be kept
entirely out of sight the only sign of
their presence being their reports ' aen
eggs have been deposited In the nests.
Heavy egg production Is frequently se
cured when the birds are kept confined
In clean, well ventilated houses, never
stepping on the ground during the entire
year. Yards are desirable, but are not a
necessity, excepting for growing chicks.
As a matter of fact, on extremely re
stricted areas the land might better be
used for houses to accommodate a few
more birds than divided between house
sites and yards.
Objection to the noise made by fowls
refers almost exclusively to the crow
ing of the males, the presence of which
Is unnecessary and undesirable In flocks
that are carried solely for the prodiwv
tion of table eggs. The male Is a dis
turber and although a consumer, he is
not a producer. He may well be dls.
pensed with In all but the breeding pens,
There Is a widespread Idea that flocks of
hens without- males will not lay .well.
This Is not founded on fact, as some of
the best egg records have been made by
pens of hens which have never had a
male bird kept with them.
It the objecting neighbor is reasonable,
these considerations will probably smooth
matters out and enable one to proceed
with this plan, especially if there is a
probability of a few fresh eggs being
slipped across the fence occasionally.

Creighton Warriors
Do Practice Stunts
The Creighton varsity squad held its
first real scrimmage of the year on
Creighton field Monday afternoon. Coach
Miller, himself, played with the scrubs
and together with Levy did most of the
gaining. The forward pass and long end
runs we're tried repeatedly against the
varsity, but they put up a stubborn de
fense. The scrubs managed to get away
with tme touchdown on a long forward
pass to Levy.
For the varsity Miller ran the team lu
'fast style, whjle Collins made gains
through the scrub line. Casey at tackle
repeatedly broke through and tackled
tha man with the ball.
After the varsity scrimmage the Crelgh-
ton Highs scrimmaged for a short time
with the scrubs. '

Fight is Averted
in Juvenile Court
A free-for-all fight was narrowly
averted In Juvenile court, and one man
was sentenced to one day In Jail as a re
sult of the commitment of a boy to the
State Industrial school.
Chester White was committed to the
school because he was found to have
contributed to the delinquency of a 14-ycar-old
girl. Donald L. White, the boy's
brother, flew into a rage and asked Judge
Kennedy If he had any children ot his
own. He said he had. , ,
The brother of the . erring boy then
raised his hands In the air and with an
oath said:
"Then I hope that every one ot them"
He was interrupted by Juvenile Officer
Bernstein, who, thinking he meant tha
court physical harm, leaped upon him.
White's wife, thinking. Bernstein meant
to beat her husband, pounded the Juve
nile officer. When order was restored
the court sentenced , White for contempt
He apologised. ' '
