"A growing market for guinea fowl”
In the United States bus led to a recent
farmers’ bulletin, No. 2H4, on this bird
and Its nsc as food. Among other in
teresting statements made are the fol-
taring:
» cJf tfie domesticated birds of the
jjfdlnary ' type the so called pearl
guinea fowl Is by far the most com-
iqon. It ha^ steel or purplish gray
plumage regularly dotted or “pearled”
with white (whence its name), and It

frequently used for ornamental pur
poses. The blrdg hare bright

is cohililent of Euj-g^e guinea
are considered very delicious ta
ble birds, and in England they are
highly prized as substitutes for game,
eometimes figuring on menus as “Amer
ican pheasant” They have always
been eaten to a certain extent In the
United States, especially in the sooth,
*nd have been much relished by those
who were discriminating In their
but until recently they, have
commonly said to be rather In
ferior to chickens, perhaps because of
the darker color of the meat or be
cause the majority of persons have nev
er had their attention called to their
good points.
Their flavor resembles in so many
firaya that of game birds that guinea
fowl furnish an excellent substitute for
game. They seem as yet to be little
’bought for private families except by
the few who have learned to appreciate
their excellent qualities, but some Idea
Of their Importance In club and res
taurant menus may be gathered from
the fact that In a fashionable New
Tork hotel 8,000 were used between the
'lat of January and the middle of April,
190&
The young birds for broilers begin to
reach the market In the north late in
the summer; the larger birds are killed
throughout the autumn and early wtn-
ter, and by means of cold storage (he
oomtox ounnu wowul
geason is continued until spring. Since
practically no breeders make a spe
cialty of guinea fowl for the market,
the birds are supplied In small numbers
by poulterers who keep a few with
their other kinds The New York deab
ers get their fresh guinea fowl largely
from New Jersey. They are raised iu
•mall numbers by many poultry men
in the middle went, us Is shown by the
fact that the market supply comes In
considerable part from that region. The
Wholesale meat dealers lu Chicago buy
Up the birds as they llud them, here
nnd there, on farms, paying for'them
by the bead rdther than by weight, ns
f Wlth other varieties. The birds are put
fhto cold storage until enough are col
lected for a shipment Sometimes they
•re sold lu our eastern markets, but
often they are sent to England, where
there Is always sale for them.
Guinea fowl are not separately In
cluded In the oiRclal market reports,
•nd consequently it is difficult to ob
tain definite Information regarding
their pr^ee. Private Inquiry among reli
able 'dealers In Boston, New York,
Rochester and lliiladelphla indicates
that In northeastern cities the average
retail price for a pair w-elghing two
or three pounds each is probably about
$1.25 in the autumn and early winter.
While younger birds earlier In Jhe sea-
eon and older birds later often bring
$1-00 per pair or even more. In the
•outh. where all poultry Is cheaper, they
cost less. Information received from
'Montgomery. Ala., given 30 to 35 cents
•ach as an ordinary retail price.

Homely Voltaire.
Voltaire was the ugliest man of his
ngc. Emaciated to a skeleton, all the
features of his countenance were exag
gerated. Ills nose and chin, nearly met
from the lack of teeth; his cheeks were
sunken and wrinkled, his eyes set so
far back In his head and so obscured
by shaggy, overhanging brows as to be
almost invisible. He usually wore a
largo wig, from the midst^Qf which his
attenuated features peepM out with
comical effect For years before be
dipd his weight did not cscceed ninety
pounds.
