But Pittsburg, according to all the indica-

business men of the city lack proper appre-
ciarIon and do not contribute to the fund suffi-
ciently. Some who are benefited highly by the

give anything. The proper way to do is to

We find the following inquiry and an

when about week old one after the
other got lame, could not stand on their
legs and then died, although afew seemed
to be all right and ate all they got. 1

ally took out the sick ones and rubbed
their legs with liniment but it did not
help them. They all died except about
two, which the rats killed and carried off.
Six others, Matched little later, are now
doing well,-A. B., Helmetta, N. J."a

usually are when fed upon hard grain,

To Buyers of Poultry Netting.

10 buyers OF EOu1Cry N0tC1nR.
Since our advent into the poultry busi-
ness we have used considerable fencing of
different kinds, and have settled down on
the galvanized wire netting as the best,
all things considered. 1t is the cheapest
in the long run, provided you get good
article, and that is the object of this lets
ter-to give you some advice from expert
ence, SO when you buy netting you will be
better able to judge the quality. In
speaking of netting as No IS, No. 10,
ETC., you are supposed to refer to the
guage of the wire and represent a stand
ard weight; but the majority of the net
ting sold will be from one-half to one size
smaller, and the only way to- detect it is
by weighing the roll. The following will
be guide and if it is short weight it is
not standard, and a comparative re-
duction should be made in the price, al
though poor article is dear at any price:
Widths.,.........., II 1S "a SO 4S go inches
Weight per .12h IS % 80 421a So pounds
These are minimum weights of galvan-
lied wire netting, 2-inch mesh, No. 10. If
q manufacturer or jobber will misrepre
sent his goods in one way, he may in an
other. The galvanizing is very poor on
some WIRE have some that has been
used but four years, and it is badly rust
ed; this was bought through other par
ties than dealers in New York, but other
wire bought direct from factory is as
good as new, though we live in a salt air
at all times, being between the ocean and
a tide water stream, which are but half a.
mile apart. "a @ -o q"
Here is what James Rankin, owner of
the largest duck farm in the world, says
He speaks from experience. Never pur-
chase No. 20 wire, as it will prove unsat-
isfactory in the end. 1t is not self-sup-
porting and can be only kept in position
by boards above and below" i
There is great difference in quality of
wire. Some material is so soft that it set
ties from eighteen inches to one foot in
width. Mr. Rankin uses the two feet wide
wire for ducks, and would say if no base
board is used five feet is wide enough for
fowls, and by using board onefoot wide
for base fourl foot wire will answer. When
have occasion to buy again. will use
two widths to make afence, one three feet
for bottom and two foot for top. be-
lieve it can be putup easier, and you have
four selvage wires instead OF two, and the
price is the same. E. w. A.
