A. c. Fairbank and d. W. Pratt, two
st. Louisans, have purchased a tract
Of land at Pacific, Mo-, a small town
81 miles west Of St Louis, for the pur-
pose Of establishing a squad and
poultry farm. The raising Of squads
for the market is a new industry in
Missouri and promises to be a lucrative
field.
the owners Of the hillside SQUAD
and Poultry Farm have entered into
the business with the determination Of
making it the finest farm Of the kind
in the world. The entire manage
ment OF the farm is 10 the hands OF
Mr.. Fairbanks, who has a thorough
knowledge Of breeding pigeons and
poultry.
With this end In view, two pigeon
houses, II feet high, % feet long and
10 feet wide, have been built and eight
more are under construction. In the
interior and around the walls the
nesting boxes are built, each one num-
bered, so that a record can be kept.
Two nests are allotted 10 each pair Of
birds.
In one nest Is placed a ''nappy," or
e~arthenware bowl about nine inches
In diameter and about two and a half
inches deep, 10 which the eggs are
The other nest is reserved for
the young squads until they are
marketable or able TO take care Of
themselves.
From the time the eggs are laid, two
being the number, they are constantly
covered, the male bird performing as
much Of this service as the female.
until the squads 7 Matched. When
the feeding time comes It is the duty
u the mother bird to feed the young
and the vale bird takes her place in
the nest.
The average price paid for fine fat
is $3.50 10 60 per dozen.

A Valuable Hen

The Kansas City Journal OF Wednes-
day contains the following interesting
article:
One hen sold for s10l at the close OF
the poultry show at the ArmOry last
night. Not the goose that laid the
golden egg, nur even the goose that
cackled and saved Rome, but a plain,
old, everyday biddy hen, which lays
one egg at a time, whose eggs spoil as
often as do those OF a 25-cent hen, and
whose meat would make no better
fried chicken than that Of thousands
of other yellow legsl Think One hen
SOL.
This surprising event certainly
marks the limit in sales here. When
one heard of a Belgian hare that
went for $1,000, one wondered, but
then, a Belgian hare is not a common
beast, and its fur will make seal coats
IL properly treated. But ahen-a COM
mon old barnyard fowl-such as sets
on eggs, for SOL! Whewl Where was
f. d. Coburn?
1t is at interesting guess TO figure
out what an egg from this hen would
be worth. Granting that she sheds
one egg a day and that her feed costs
nothing, what is the value Of an egg?
Well, it depends. If for eating pur-
poses, not much over about 25 cents a
dozen, for an egg is an egg, except in
the language Of the old conundrum's
answer, when 1t is a chicken; and all
eggs taste alike, except when they
have attained an uncertain age. But
this particular hen laid an egg-as
she doubtless does-about ono a day,
and that egg developed a chicken,
would the chicken be worth SOL also?
And II not, why not? And II one could
get from that hen a full ''set" Of eggs,
and all Matched into SOL chicks,
wouldn't it well worth while? Again,
send for +. d. Coburn, who wrote a
beautiful book on hens and let him
figure on It.
The origin OF this slO1 hen would be
interesting to trace. Just the line
II demarkatiOn between the ordinary
Iarnyard egg and the priceless fowl or
he priceless egg and the ordinary
owl that laid it-f0r 1t is an unsettled
question whether the egg or the chick
anne hrst-would be a pretty problem.
Anyhow, there is no getting around IL,
me fowl has sold for SOL, and SEEM
ngly there was reason for It, for some
me bought her, and al auction at that.

pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Gre is taken internally acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature to do

they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for list
