McGee & Campbell Clothiers and Men's Furnishers Merchant -Tailor Clothes Look Better They Always Have== They Always Will That elusive something called style cannot be made in a factory. Good tailoring—the draping and cutting and modeling of cloth —is an Art, nothing less, Every good merchant tailor believes this with all his soul. He knows it from his own. year's experience, patience and toil as a craftsman. He knows that merely to fit is but a small part of a good tailor's art. The right sort of clothes --the clothes you want— appeal as much through fitness as through fit. Through an air of distinction and elegance a good tailor can express the best there is in you. He can make your clothes bespeak class. He can preserve individuality. He can give personality a chance. You want such clothes and they can be had in only one way—they must be cut and made expressly for you, from faultless fabrics, by that artist of merchants—a merchant tailor. These are tailoring facts. In neglectipg• them you wrong opportunity. E. C.

Formerly Poultryman at Kansas Exper3-. meat Station, Commercial Poultry Ca, pert of the United States Depart, Meat of Agriculture, Author of "The Dollar Hen." LCopyright, 19111, by American Press Asso- ciation.a A. RFXO TIXAL incubation has been practiced in Egypt and by the Chinese for several thousand years, but has been developed in this country only within the mem- ory of the present generation. Because of the great extent to which incubators have beeu advertised, the large circulation of poultry books put out by incubator manufactamers and the favorable views of the poultry papers, which get their chief support from In- cubator advertisements, the general impressiou is that artificial incubation is a greater improvcmeut over the nat- ural method of hatching than is in reality the case. Hens or incubators. One of the chief claims of the arti- ficial Incubation is that by this means chicks can be produced at any season et the year, whereas hens brood only in the spring and summer. This ad• vantage is not great, however, as most inexperienced people believe, for chick- ens hatched in the winter are difficult to rear, and because of the evening up of prices due -to cold storage, as re- ferred to in a previous lesson, the use ...,,.t w'ICLA b'Ornfirn reels SnLEOTEp 1'011 mermen of incubators for batching winter chicks is not particularly profitable. The second important advantage claimed for incubators is that of sav- ing labor, or, in other words, they en- able one person to hatch a much larger number of chicks than would be pos- sible with the use of hens. This claim is worthy of consideration. It is, In fact, the chief reason why incubators have gained their present standing. As to the percentage of hatching and the vitality of the chicks, the aver- age incubator, especially in the hands of the novice, will hardly equal the natural methods. The writer made an extensive study of the results obtained with incubators by Kansas farmers. The results showed that about as many farmers failed with Incubators as suc- eeeded with them. The percentage of eggs that hatch either in incubators or with hens Is commonly overestimated. The extraor- dinary hatcbes at poultry shows are usually arranged by setting two incu- bators and testing out the live eggs just before hatching and putting them in the one machine. A GO per cent hatch of all eggs set for the season is good enough. many very large and successful poultry farms have lower averages. The advisability of purchas- ing an incubator will depend upon many circumstances. All those who breed Leghorns will.require incubators. With the Plymouth Rocks, Vityandottes or Rhode Island Reds I should favor hatching with hens until the poultry work grows to such size that this be - 'comes impractical. Eggs For Hatching. '.there are many superstitious no- tions prevalent regarding the relation of the shape of an egg to its vitality rind the sex of the forthcoming chick- en. Such notions have no ground in fact, Eggs having weak shells that might become broken in the nest or 'unusually small eggs should be dis- carded. If there are more eggs availa- ble than we wish for a sitting it will be better to select the fresher eggs than to be overparticular about shape and appearance. The eggs for hatching should be stored in a cool, dry location and shifted or rolled about occasion- ally. Eggs exposed to freezing tempera- ture if not actually frozen may still retain their vitality, but it is generally considered best to keep them at tem- perature between 40 and 70 degrees. If kept too warm eggs dry out rapid- ly and will not hold their vitality. A good rule is not to set eggs over two weeks old. The idea that jarring, as by thunder, will injure the hatching of eggs is without foundation; like wise the advice to let eggs rest after shipping bas been proved to be ground, less, Accommodations to Sitting Hens. The convenience of the arrangement for sitting hens has a great deal to do with the Success of the batching. ley all. means I should advise that a place be provided for the sitting hens away from the general poultry house.

THE WINGWAM ADVANCE Willi' iii � a Vi i:."'The'barais`arQ Set in groups, eo that those sitting on eggs which are to hatch the same time may be given their liberty at once. The attendant has only to re- move the board from the nest, lift oft the hens sand return in a hour to flee that there is tt hen on each nest, Another scheme for the easy han- dling of sitting bene, the plans for which, have been largely Hold, consists in constructing a series of outdoor nests and runways made by setting toot wide boards on edge about one toot apart. The runway a are covered with laths or netting except the one In which the nest is constructed, this being protected from the weather by' another wide board to form a roof. Gash hen thus has her individual nest and a runway, in which tbe hen may exercise and dust herself to get rid of lice. Old fruit cans are used to pro- vide food and water. Such an arrangement for sitting hens reduces the work of caring for them to a minimum, and if the nests are well protected from the weather and the ground where the nests are located thrown up so that the water will not run in the results are usually better than with hens set indoors. The nests should be arranged so that hens may be shut on there when the eggs begin to hatch, or the restless hen will frequently leave the nest with the first few chicks and allow the others to die in the shell. Essentials of a Good incubator.. In the case of artificial incubatiou. we have a number of points to look after that do not concern us wheu hatching hens. The first to be observ- ed is uniform temperature -103 for all eggs in -the machine at all tunes. The second consideration and one that causes much more trouble in practice is to providejust sufficient circulation of air of just sufficient dryness to cause the eggs to lose water by evap- oration at the normal rate; otherwise the body of the chick will contain too much water or fact enough and die in the shell or shortly after hatching. The novice can do no better, as Oar as this and other points of incubation are concerned, than to follow the direc- tions of the maker: of his machine. The following discussion of the points of a good incubator ere given to help the poultryman in selecting a machine or in deciding whether he is capable of handling the problem of artificial incubation successfully rath- er than for the purpose of teaching him to run any particular incubator: The case of the incubator should be built double or triple well to with- stand variation in the outside tempera- ture. The door should fit neatly and should be made of double glass. The lamp, both bowl and chimney, should be made of heavy metal material and should have a wick sufficiently wide to maintain tbe temperature of the Incubator with a Iow blaze. The lamp is generally placed tint' the end of the machine, though there are some good incubators now made with the lamp placed un fer.•neath the machine. The 'heat is got from the lamp to the eggs by means of a circulation of hot air or a tank of hot water. The hot air ma- chines seem to have proved most suc- cessful is practice, and the majority of well known makes are now of that type. It is easier, however, to make a cheap hot water machine that will retain the heat than it is -to make a hot air machine. This is because the tank of hot water holds the beat against sudden changes in outside tem- perature. Regulators composed of two metals, as aluminium and steel, are best. Wa- fers filled with ether. are more sensi- tive, but weaker in action. Hard rub- ber bars are frecji eptly- used. The in- cubator needs no arrangement for turning eggs, as this is not as impor- tant a part of the operation as is fre- quently stated, and the eggs can be rolled around readily with the hand mw 01? THE IbtT.e% at the time the trays are taken out to be turned end to end, a precaution necessary to equalize any effects due; to different temperatures in the vita ons parts of the machine, Cooling the; eggs, upon which many incubator' manufacturers lay considerable stress, has never been proved to be of bene; "tit. A good thermometer is essential in running an incubator and is best laid face downward on top of the eggs. Tilertt'tometers hung in a fixed position above the eggs frequently fail to register the temperature of the eggs themselves. The best location foe an incubator is in the cellar. The more even in tete: perature this eellar is kept the better. The cellar should not be So damp as to warp the incubator, but, on the oth. or Land, should not be entirely dry« If there is a furnace In the cellar or it is In any way heated open water should be e:Iposed in a warm place. The ventilation of the eelltfr is not tie important as 10 ordinarily imagined, for chicks need very little oxygen.

The cry for all kinds of labor con- tinues from all quarters of :Ontario, but particularly in the Western parts. 'Reports sent to Mr, John Armstrong, of the -Bureau of Labor, show that $2 a, day is being offered for unskilled labor in Berlin and other cities. Ber- lin has also offered to geaploy 200 wo- men at good wages in factories, but finds the supply very difficult to secure. Brantford, Loudon and other cities have reported their readiness to use plenty of both skilled and unskill- ed labor at good wages, Reapers Aro Wanted, The farmers of Alberta, iiaskatehe- wan anti Manitoba are worried over the labor outlook, With 14,850,000 acres under crop this 8ea80n, it 18 go- ing to be a difficult task to get men enough to handle the grain.

This new rule went into effect on Tune 10 with the new time table. Cleaning Them Out. The "blind pigs" of Northern On- tario are so rapidly disappearing, that complete extermination is threatened according to reports which have re- cently reached the License Depart- ment of the Ontario Government. The vigorous campaign instituted by the Department through its special officers has made it so unprofitable and risky to carry on an illicit whis- key trade that the number of dealers is quickly being diminished. —The Toronto Star, a Liberal news- paper, in its report of the Aylmer` meeting pays Mr, Borden, the Conser- vative Leader, the following. compli- ment :—"Mr. Borden made an excel- lent speech on the National Transcon- tinental Railway.

McKibbon Makes an Important Connection With the Largest Co -Operative Corporation in America, Backed by Men Doing an Annual Business Amounting to $75,000,000. People of Wingharn Benefited J. Walton McKibbon of this town has with characteristic enterprise, de- monstrated his ability to keep well abreast of the times by connecting himself with the largest druggists' co- operation in America. The men con- nected with this enterprise do a year- ly business aggregating over $75,000,- 000, which well emphasizes its sound- ness and magnitude. About three thousand retail drug- gists throughout the United States and Canada have organized them- selves as a co-operative company for the. purpose of producing a line of medical preparations which they re- commended, absolutely guarantees and back up with their own names and personal reputations. The forma las of these remedies are thoroughly known to every one of these druggists and the ingredients of each will be truthfully described to the public and the remedies sold with the distinct understanding that their purchase price will be'instantly refunded with- out question or quibble if they fail to benefit the user, One thousand different formulas were turned over to the company. Each formula being selected because of its tested and proved value and established reputation, gained through continued and successful use by pro- minent physicians. A research committee of expert chemists and physicians made a most thorough and exhaustive test of each one of these one thousand prescrip- tions until they had selected about 300 as being the very best and most de- pendable known to medical science, each for the treatrnent and care of a particular ailment. These three hundred remedies are now manufactured by the company, which is known as the United Drug Co. Boston, Mass., and United Drug Co., Limited, Toronto, in the largest, most modern and best equipped phar- maceutical laboratories in Arnerica, The tremendous output of this com- pany enables it to purchase drugs, herbs and other necessary material in very large quantities. The co-opera- tion and professional advice of 3000 leading druggists guarantees the high quality of everything used and gua- rantees that only formulas of extra- ordinary tnerit are used in the mane- lecturing of their products. The preparations of the company are shipped direct to the retail drug- gists, who are connected with the enterprise, Thus their absolute fresh - netts is assured, it is impossible for their quality to deteriate, there are no middlemen's or jobbers' profits to be added to their cost, and the public can obtain these products at actual oast of manufacture, plus a single retail profit, One noticeable feature of this busi- ness, and a very commendable one, is that no one remedy manufactured by this company is a "cure-all." Each one of the 300 different remedies is a known and dependable specific for a particular ailment. The confi- dence of the druggists interested in this enterprise is unquestionably de- monstrated by this guarantee, which is printed on every package—"The United Drug Co,, Limited, and The Rexall Store selling this preparation guarantee it to give satisfaction. If it does not, go back to the store where you bought it and get your money—it belongs to you, and we want you to have it." This is certainly an innovation that must appeal to the people of Wing - ham. It insures safety and satisfac- tion because our own local druggist, J. W, McKibben, who is so well known and highly respected for his integrity, is connected with this enter- prise and is staking his own personal reputation on the quality of these remedies, and the very frankness with which he takes the people of Wing - ham into his confidence insures an unprecedented spccess for these re- medies, which are sold, under the trade -name Rexallwhich means King - of -All. From reports comiug from thousands of towns and cities, the Rexall Remedies are certainly demon- strating their full title to the name. Those who have previonsly refused to buy proprietory medicines because there was no way of ascertaining their ingredients, can now purchase Rexall Remedies, the formulas of which they can have for the asking. Besides, they are sold by a concern personally known to you and located right here in our own town, who guarantees that they are in every way as represented or they will cost nothing. Rexall Dyspepsia' Tablets are one of the first of the three hundred reme- dies which are beidg introduced. Anyone in Winghan, who suffers from stomach derangement, indiges- tion or dyspepsia should not hesitate to try this Rexall Remedy when they are so highly recommended and backed with such a strong guarantee; J. W. McKibbon is so well and favor- ably known for his sterling honesty and square dealing that we predict a great success for him with the Rexall l.ietnedies,and he is to he he&rtily congratulated in bringing this great ancl modern business enterprise to Wingham. We urge all who may be in need of Prepared me$ieines to call on J. W. McKibben and learn about Rexall Re- medies.
