To our Patums and Correspondents all over the IForld ; JylE desire to say that the FoUrth Annual Show of the New York Fanciers' Club, at Madi- ■ son Garden, held — February 3d to loth, 1886, — we are happy to state that we were again awarded the GRAND GOLD PRIZE, the very highest award of the Society. We have exhibited the Perfect Hatcher at each of these Annual Shows, and every time we have captured the highest premium against all competitors, and this last year the array of Incubators was the largest ever known at any one show in the world. The evidence is complete, that the Perfect Hatcher is THE BEST. If you wish to obtain good results you must buy a good machine. The cheap, trashy machines on the market are a delusion and a snare, and should be shunned ; all who buy them are deceived. We desire to call your attention to the fact, that many old fashioned fanciers make the ' claim that an artificially hatched bird can never enter the show room and take a first premium. We take great pride in being able to make the statement, that at this great show of over 1,800 cages, we were able and permitted to pin the following card on over 300 cages ; " These Birds were Hatched by the Perfect Hatcher." Many of them were first premium birds ; they were from every variety. We herewith append a few of the winners and classes, all of which can be affirmed by the owners of the , birds, also by reference to the official report of the Fanciers' Club : WINNINGS AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, 1886. COFFIN, ZIMMER & CO., Glens Falls./N. Y. rst. Breeding P^ Black, Rose Comb Bantams ; ist. Breeding Pen Silver Seabright Bantams ; ist. Silver Seabright Bantam Fowls; 1st.

Special for largest display of Bantams. , This firm had 120 birds exhibited, and they were all in the first .class, scoring 90 points and over. , ' CHARLES M. GRIFFING, Shelter Island, N. Y. Pen of Plymouth Rocks, Cockerel, . g3j points. Four Pullets, 92, 92J, 87J, 93J points. One pair of Chicks, 184 9-16 points.. One pair of Chicks, 182 points; J. D. NeVius, judge. Two of the Cocklrels were sold by Mr. Griffing to W. K. Vanderbilt. We could go on with a long list but space will not permit. The above is sufficient to prove that in the greatest , show ever held in America, the birds hatched by the Perfect Hatcher stand at the head of the list. Now we regard this as a complete answer to the critics; that artificially hatched birds can and do take as many premiums as any others ; and we cam also adduce evidence that birds artificially hatched and reared are finer in flavor, weiigh more at three months, and are in every respect superior to the barnyard raised birds, and will always command a highef price. Don't be deceived, but buy the best. Our system of brooding is as perfegt as our system of hatching. All orders promptly filled; AUTOMATIC ELECTRIC CO, (Limited.), ELMIRA, N. Y. BUFF COCHINS. I Wm.

CURE OF HERNIA ^^ —BY — Frink's Ru ptu re Remedy Weston, Mich.; July 18, 1887. Mr. O. FBINK. New York : Respected Friend :~'ia\i remember, perhaps, that some months since I sent to you for a box of your Baptare Remedy. Yo'i sent it promptly, and I think I can safely say that it has saved my life. That Is putting It down pretty bold, but those of my neighbors, Including Dr. Hoover - of thl.s village who examined my case, will endorse what I say. Dr. Hoover says that my case is one out of a thousand, f have no words to express mv feelings for being snato'ied from the brink of thegrave. Mv suffering was terrible. lean never tell it. I had tried no less than six different trusses, but they would not hold the hernlii. My case was getting d^sperate, Finally, a lady of Butler, Ind., made and sent to me a supporter that held the hernia In place, and then your Remedy came in and did Its mastic worlc. It appears almost a miracle. I am to-day doing strong, heavy work, being a builder by trade ;. am wearinist no truss or supfjorter of any . kind, and ifl was alBictea again with hernia I would have Fbink's Kctpture Remedy if It eoit Five Hundred DoUars ^fiv box. I believe (when I think of my own terrible case) that It wil' cure any case where the hernia can be held In place. I can't express my feelings of gratl- tule. I am mire than thankful, yea, I am a happy man. I owe It to your remedy. Now, kind sir. if there Is a word In this rough letter that I wrl'e you that will aid you In sending the good news to thea.Uieted— those who are-sufferlng with hernia— you are at liberty touSelt in any way that you taay wish. You may boldly say that 'Rupture can be Cured,'' for I am a living witness to the truth of the assertion. I myself have been through the flre, and came out without spot or blemish. Ever yours In gratitude, H. N. CROWE. Despite the acknowledged great value of Frink's Rupture Remedy, the price is still kept down to the low figure of Five Dollars ($5) per box, so that every ruptured person can have an opportunity of testing its wonderful poiver.

The principal upon which it is made is to keep the egg lying on its side on a slat concaved to its form and separated from the neighboring eggs by means of a comparted rack, and by the tilting of the safe the eggs make a half revolution, thus keeping the yolk in the center. The above is entirely consistent with nature. It is made of wood ; will not wear out ; is portable, only weighs 35 pbunds for a safe holding 50 dozen ; can be detached by sections without stopping to loosen a fastening of any kind, so that it is no more'' bother to store away eggs than in t)askets.

A large box will cost you no more freight than a small box. Attend to your poultry, if you want to make a profit out of them, just the same as you attend to your land.

The cheapest and best food for all varieties of land and water fowl. ' It is com- posed of the most nutritious grains, steam cooked and combined with phosphates and stimulants in the right proportions to produce the best resulis. A series of practical experiments with different kinds of feed and the comparative value of the different grains, extending over the past four years, has enabled us to determine what are the best . grains for fowls, and in what proportions they should be fed. As a rule fowls are fed too much com and com meal, "which are rich in carbon, and produce an imhealthy fatty tissue. The fowls become sluggish and stand around in idleness, show no activity or disposition to forage, and lay but few eggs. When " C. P. F." is used, the expense of feeding is reduced and the results are doubled. It keeps fowls ih fine condition. ^ , It prevents over-fat. ' - It produces the largest yield of eggs. It costs one third less than any other feed. For Grotring Chickens. — Containing as it does all the elements necessary for the formation of every part of the frame, it is the best possible feed for young stock, bringing them to maturity strong in frame, form, and feather, and producing active males and pullets that lay earlier than if fed the ordinary way. For Laying Hens. — It supplies the natural requirements of the body, main- tains a healthy condition of the organs, and furnishes material for forming the shell, albumen and yolk of the egg. For Ducks. — The cost of feeding ducks generally wipes out any profit that might be 'made raising them. They have voracious appetites, and if fed rich grain wil/ eat their heads off before they are grown. Use "C. P. F." and they wiU grov rapidly, without danger of weak legs, and pay a good profit. Directions for Feeding.— Mix with water, until the mass is crumbly and 'adheres together, not wet and sloppy. Feed what the fowls will eat up clean, which will be about one quart to every ten hens. Feed " C. P. I'." morning' and evening in Summer, in Winter use " C. P. F." inthe morning and com or wheat at night. Feed in wooden troughs, not on the ground. PRICE. 50 cents per bushel, in bags of 3 bushels each. Bags 10 cents extra, refunded when bag is returned. Special rates to grocers and feed men. WILLIAM H. WIGMORE'S IMPROVED POULTRY SPECIALTIES.

The object of the Exchange is the association of breeders, poultry raisers, and all interested in fine fowls, pigeons, etc., together into a Stock Company for the following purposes : — 1. Holding an Annual Competitite Exhibition of Thoroughbred Fowls and Poultry Appurtenances in one of the exhibition buildings of New York City. 2. Conducting Auction Sales of fancy fowls at the Exhibition, and at such other times as the Board of Trustees may direct. 3. Leasing and occupying a suitable store as the headquarters of the Exchange, and . keeping on sale Fowls, Incubators, Poultry Supplies, and apparatus of all kinds pertaining to the poultry business. 4. Advancing the Poultry Interests of America, disseminating Poultry Literature, improv- ing shipping facilities, protecting buyers of fowls and eggs against imposition, and assisting the members of the Exchange in the sale and purchase of stock. Everyone having the true interest of the poultry industry at heart should join the Exchange, lend his support and increase the effectiveness of the organization. The privileges that mem- bers secure is worth much more than the cost of joining. At Exhibitions members save twenty-five per cent., of the entrance fees on birds entered for competition. In the Sales Department they save the ten per cent, commission charged on all sales, whether private or at auction. Members have, at all times, the privilege of placing fowls on private sale at the store, the Exchange receiving commission on all sales to cover the expense of feeding, furnishing coops, etc. The Exhibitions will be conducted so as to be not only popular succssses, but financial ones as well. The Exchange is co-operative in its nature. From the profits that accrue from the exhibitions and from the general business, dividends will be declared that will exceed legal interest to as great an extent as possible. These inducements are offered in order to obtain a membership covering every State and Territory in the Union. XJiat the shares be held over as large an extent of country as possi- ble, for the benefit of poultry breeders wherever located, the association prefers to sell not to exceed five or ten shares to any one person. Orders for one share $10, or one to ten at the same rate wilT^e received. Not a share of stock will be sold for less than the par value, ten dollars. .Subscriptions for stock and all communications .should be addressed to — The Nkw York Poultry Exchange, 38 Dey Street, New York City.
