COUREPONDENCE
SOLICITED
WHEN YOU MATE UP.
You will soon mnate upl your pens;
for breeding, and there are certali
partleutlar you must bear in mind to
bring success.
When you have culled out all over
three years old and those with gross
defects, then take "The Standard of
Perfection" into the pen and select
from the remainder those that are
nearest to the standard type.
If your-fowls look like three cents
when you apply this criterion. It is
time to buy new birds. You can't
breed something out of iothing.
STUDY YOURI BIRDS.-Indeed. the
successful chicken hustler is always
studying his birds. The poultryiman
who doesn't study hen nature and
thinks he has such a surplus of gray
matter that he can throw a breeding
pen together like a boy pitching quoits
had better "go away back and sit
down." for if he's up front he got in
on some other fellow's ' or climbed
the fence.
htudy y 'he people
who wait e whistle
blow befor the train
generally n -form and
make fools
There's no luck in
shaking cil .me dice. You
may get a blanK.
WVhen the solons of the poultr' world
who sell hens for a thousand dollars
.ockerels for flve hundred
mve thousands of bonton
ect from must sit down for
- :udy out a single mating. Is
lesson for those who mate
their pens with breakneck speed?
If birds are mated now you may he
surprised at unforeseen changes you
will make. You will thus catch the
drones. the hens that will not frater
nize with the male, and elimlnate from
the pen the hen that continually bullies
the rest.
fly this early removal of' thme hirds to
a 'en by thenwelves they mamy receive
that special care and feeding which are
niecessary for them to have to insure
a good output of fertile eggs. for it
is n fact that lhens for breeding musst
have different treat ment froam those
which are simply fed for market eggs.
This is often overlooked until the first
test of the incubator shows great ini
fertility. A great many poultrymnen do
their shoving at the wrong end of the
lien wagon.
The hens that are pushed at the be
ginning of winter are up agalust the
wall when hatching time comies.
The doctrine that you should sepa
rate the male bird from the i'emales
until breeding time to promote his
productive powers is a big take. 1)o
this if you wish to ruin the bead of the
BAD DISQUALIFICATIONA. -Re
.ieet birds wvith the following defects:
Wry tails, crooked backs and breast
bones, side sprigs, lop combed males,
squirrel tails. diminutive tails, white
faced coekerels except Bllack Spanish.
deformed henks. purple barring, brassi
ness, white lobes in WVynndottes and
Cochins, pinched tails. feathered shanks
on clean legged varieties, clean shanks
on feather legged breeds, swinging
crops andl drop wings.
You need not wait three weeks to
discover if the eggs are fertille. Test
them with a strong light at the end of
five day3s.
If time eggs are all infertile, replace
the male bird with another. It part of
the eggs are infertile, you either have
too many hens or certain of thme memi

cannot be made quickly, remove the
offending squnws.
DON'TS.
Don't keep your ducks in damp quar
ters andI on hard, cold boards. leurnish
clenn., soft litter and be decent.
Don't keel) dlucks with chickens.
Their feed is different. Ducks alnd
droppings are a combination to restrict
the duck supply.
Don't sell dick eggs for a song. They
command a high price for Ihebrew
trade. Write to an egg house for
prices.

Bostoi Banker Says Hi

Carleton I. Hutchinson, a leading t
banker and broker of Boston, with I
ofilces at 8 Congress Street, in that 1
city, has recently come out with a very -
strong statement.
In the widespread discussion over i
Cooper's new theory and medicines f
which has spread over the country so a
rapidly, Mr. Hutchinson has taken the t
side of those who say that Cooper's I
theory is correct and his medicine all I
that he claims.
Mr. Hutchinson's emphatic state- c
ment is as follows: "Anyone afflicted
with chronic Ill health and a general c
run-down condition caused by stomach I
trouble, who does not try this man c
Cooper's medicine, is very foolish. I v
say this after a most remarkable ex- c
perience with the medicine. I
"I heard of Cooper's success first f
when he was in Chicago, as I have a e
private wire to that city in connection c
with my business. Later, when he I
came East, I learned more of him and
his theory that stomach trouble causes r
most ill health. I have had no faith %
