FANCY PIGEON LORE.
In England the POuter and FantaU
Breeds Are in Great Demand for
the Show Rooms.

The extreme of artificial develop
ment in the pigeon family is repre-
scented in the Pouter and Fantail
breeds. Although little valued in the
food market, they are great favorltes
in the show rooms, and quite popular
as pets, In some sections the inter-
est is so great that the pigeon entries
form one of the most prominent tea-
lures of important poultry shows
Good strains of the fancy breeds are
often very profitable on account OF
the steady demand for breeding
stock.
The stately Pouter cock, as por-
trayed, was sketched from a winning
bird shown in England by the we'll
known Scotchman and writer on pig
cons, Robert Fulton. These birds
have in their show cases a pedestal
on which to stand that they may pose
erect, this being the ideal carriage
for Pouters, as the length of their
tails prevents the bird from standing
straight when shown on the floor OF
the show cage. Length and slender
ness of girth are properties quite as
much looked for in these birds as in
the large, roundiy inflated crop. The
fullnessin the back of the crop in this

A STATELY POUTER COCK.

Pouter was a point to which Mr.. Full
ton especially called my attention as
being much coveted and priced by
fanciers.
These birds measure from 1Ssto 20
inches from top of beak to tip of tail
The legs should also be long-6 to
inches being expected on good bird
and to stand well up bird requires
good length of limb. 1t was my good
fortune to see the model of the por-
trait of the Faintail in the lofts OF
his breeder, not long before the ex'
portatlon to this country. The pre-
caution which the owner took in
handling this specimen while show
ing it to me was only a sample of the
great care taken by the British fan
ciers in rearing the birds and training
them for show purposes. The way il
which the show Fantail is picked UP
means almost as much for the devel
opment of a well-formed and we'll

these birds so proud and strutting, st

Millions for Baseball.

A million of dollars are spent every year
upon the game of baseball, but large as this
sum is, it cannot begin to equal the amount
spent by people in search of health. There
is a sure method of obtaining strength, and
it is not a costly one. We urge those VINO
letters Stomach Bitters. 1t strengthens the
stomach, makes digestion easy and natural
and cures dyspepsia, constipation, bilious
ness and weak kidneys.

When Thomas Hart Benton, the noted
Missourian, wrote his FAMOUS works mr. :;
which everyone praises and no one reads,
his publishers wrote to him asking how
large first edition should be printed. His
reply was: Sir: They can ascertain from
the last census how many persons there are
in the United States who can read, sir; .
And that was the only suggestion he would
ever condescend to make. Benton was
massive in body and muscular. No man in
public life was his equal in physical strength
endurance and courage. In reference te
a quarrel in the senate, he once said: ~
and when Benton fights, sir, there is al
ways a funeral, sir."-Chicago Chronicle.

All young birds like young and ten
der grass. If they cannot get to it,
bring it to them in the form of sod.
The season is at hand when large
broilers will be demanded. Every
chick that will dress 20 or 80 ounces
now should be marketed.
AS warm weather approaches it is
well to discard all sloppy foods, and
feed only sound, dry grain, either
whole or coarsely ground.
May is the season to hatch the
bulk of the stock to be retained for
next seasons breeding or laying.
Eggs are low in price and the wealth

Young broods on high and dry

In some markets brown eggs are pre-

the Boston market brown-shelled
eggs, such as are laid by Partridge
Cochins, Dark Brahmas, Barred Ply

five cents per dozen more than white
shelled eggs, such as are laid by
Brown Leghorns, Buff Leghorns and
