Breeding The Buff LeghOrns.

my VIEWS, dS my experience ndS
taught me, and l do not write
this TO get into or enter con-
troversy with those who may
differ with me. The most es-
sential thing to the breeder of
thoroughbred poultry to have
who contem plates breeding ex-
libition stock and showing it, is
good, strong vigorous stock birds
for foundation, and in the Buff
Leghorns | think we have it; as
who ever saw a sick Leghorn if
! It were given half chance for it's
life. Leghorns do not sit around
as some of the larger breeds do,
and we all know industry is
health, and the healthy bird pro-
duces the eggs with strong germ
that producesa chick full of vigor.
And in the Buff Leghorn l claim
we have all of these qualities. It
is conceded by all, the Bluffs are
the largest of the Leghorn fami-
", and it is still conceded that
the Leghorns have no equals as
egg producers. And still again
l claim the buff color has more
admirers than any other two
colors combined.
The breedersofBuff Leghorns
have set the pace for the past year
or two for the other buff varieties,
and in the next year TO come l
look for a still greater improve
ment. The question of which is
the proper shade of buff, or
which is the most beautiful Shade,
l will leave for those who are
more experienced in the English
language to explain than myself.
There is always a difference of
opinion to be found among our
breeders, and l believe it is an
honest one, as to what's the best
kind of a bird to use to produce
"crack" show specimens; so as /
said before, every one must work
that out for themselves. l have
my opinion, but the reader will
} have to come to Watertown to
get it, as he then can see exac lily
how get my show specimens.
Assuming that we have hechicks
hatched ready togo with the hen
or put in the broOder, and good
healthy chicks are raised both
ways and more are raised when
the incUbators and breeders are
used, the very first the last and
the thing to think ofa the time,
) is the health of the young
stock, and that means keep them
free from lice, give them plenty
, of cool fresh water, and the very
best feed you can buy. If in the
Srooder, do not forget the grit.
l have always thought my farm
raised stock the best, as they
: seemed to mature quicker thar
those raised in the city, and fol
the past two years | have had al
my stock on the farm. The
birds that grow right along from
: the start are the ones to watch
as their plumage is generally 0.
a better quality;so in other words
, l believeythe birds that have {
free range in the country, other
things being equal, are superior
to the city lot raised fowl. Now
when the cockerels begin to ma
ture enough to bother the pull
let's, separate them, and at this
time begin to separate your most
promising birds from the differ
ent flocks, as the bird to win al
either our New York or Boston
show must be nicely handled
Just as soon as he shows or gives
promise of being an exceptional
1 specimen; and when say nicely
| handled, [ mean get your birds
so you can goin their pens with
out their flying about. Be care
full when you are working around

IL do not agree with Gov. Brad
ley as to the time we heard of a
plot to kill Goebel l think II was
in the morning, about the time OF
the public speaking on the steps.
To the best of my recollection the
shooting was to have been done by
three men as Goebel came into the
