The Stover has been demonstrated as the most sim ple engine on the market. The gasoline pump the ignitor and the exhaust are all operated on one rod. ,The Stover engine is easy to start and furnishes a steady power. No man needs to be a machinist to understand - and operate this engine. AU its working parts, with the exception of the piston and pi9ton-rod, are on the outside of the cylinder and in plain view. The STOVER often develops more than its rated power. Less troublesome to operate than a steam engine and cheaper than electricity. . The Stover is certainly an ideal en gine for the small shop and farm where the power must be ready at any time. The Stover furnishes an' excellent power for pumping water. The outfit shown below will furnish enough water for any Sub urban or country home, and it is very economical in cost. Small v cities, contemplating the Installation of a water outfit, will do well to investigate our water systems.

In reply will say that it give9 me pleasure to add my testimony with many others who have and still use the Stover Engine. When I bought the 5-Horse Power Stover Gasoline Engine a yearago for the purpose of grinding feed, etc., I knew nothing of a gasoline engine and was fearful to learn, but the Sto ver-is so simple in construction that I easily saw how to run it, and keep it in repair. It has given me perfect satisfac tion and does all that can be expected of any engine of its Portland Ore Wash Idaho Orej size, even the heavy Spokane Boise -Salem 1 weelr and will make this place his home for some time.

Ashes should not be need in tne runs of yellow-legged fowls whioh are destined for exhibition purposes, as they tend to bleach the shanks. The best way to preserve yellow shanks is by giving tlw chicks a good run ov r freph grass. Somo breeders place a pan of cold water where the chicks most step in it in entering or leaving the honse. Others bathe the legs at nipht with a sponge wrnng out of tepid water in which is a teaspoon fnl of glycerine to the pint. Kero sene is also nsed in the smallest quan tities, just enough to brighten the shanjis and leave no trace. The kero sene is also good as a rupellant of in sects. Crooked toes are sometimes caused by a lack of bedding for the voong chicks. Letter , List.
