If you desire birds that will enable
you to compete at fairs, do not expect
to buy them at a small price. If you
wish to breed first class exhibition
stock next season, do not be afraid of
the expense. 1t costs time, money and
skill to breed up fiocks to a high aver
age, and the prices usually asked are
always eXtOrtionate. If you are not
particular about exhibiting and de-
sire some strong, vigorous birds that
have no faults except a twist of the
comb Oh some slight defect, for cross
ing on common stock, let the breeder
know 1t when you write and he will
try to accommodate you. Remember,
no breeder generally has two birds at
the same price. They are sold accord
ing to quality. Therefore be particu-
lar to describe your wants. and do not
expect the breeder to know your de-
sires.
A fair hatch from thirteen eggs is
seven-or one over half-though some
are satisfied with five. No breeder can
guarantee every egg to hatch. He
knows no more about them than the
buyer, but he should endeavor to send
eggs from vigorous stock. A customer
would be fortunate If he got a pair of
first class standard birds from a sit
ting of eggs. Some breeders do not
get such a pair from a dozen sittlngs.
The customer is responsible for the
hen that sits on the eggs and her man
agement while on the nest. Some Gus
toners do moi know good birds when
they see them, and often complain
ignorantly. The breeder must depend
on any statement sent him. without
being able to verify or deny 1t. Before
complaining ask yourself at what price
you will sell the chicks should you re-
ceiye an order for them, and make a
comparison between their value and
their cost.-P. II. Jacobs. in Farm and
Fireside.

Such accounts as can be obtained

that Count Won Waldersee did not of.

that both officers were under instruc-

declared that it was useless for him
