The Travellers Anniversary.

There was an amusing Incident at

the tenth anniversary of the club, which
had not been arranged by the commit

There are few study clubs which have
more social gatherings, and at most of
them the husbands of the members are
honored guests. Consequently the hus-
bands felt slightly aggrieved when the
plans for the anniversary were made

most charming way, however, and after

Mrs. John r. Mclean. This lady, with
her brother, came in for the lion Is share

husband was already rich man.
Marvellous to say, the three are still on

what two farmers have done, and are
doing every year-and there is every
reason to believe that many other

better than those mentioned. 1t is
an indisputable fact that the farmer
has many advantages for raising poul-
try that can not be found anywhere
else either for the production of poul-
try for market or for eggs. 1t should
be remembered that free range is a
very favorable item to be considered,
as the feed account of the average

Money-Makina with Orpingtons.

tJohn KruSe)
Several years ago when we started
breeding Orpingtons 1--WE began with
the Buffs) we purchased the best
stock that we could obtain and have
never neglected an opportunity to I'M
proye the value of our strain by al
ding new blood since that time.
While we have paid strict attention
to the standard points OF the Dreed Ill
order that we might win at the SHOWS,
we have by no means neglected the
practical points and fully believe that
q combination of the two makes the
most profitable fowl. We have exhlb-
tied at some of the shows and by adj
vertising our winnings we have MADE
sales of stock and eggs at good prices
which. without the show record anu
without the advertising, would nave
been impossible. In fact, we nave
found a ready sale in all eggs Tor
Matching and stock for exhibition ana
breeding that we could supply, and
the balance of our products, those
eggs sold out of the egg trade season
and stock which was not quite good
enough to sell for breeding, we nave
disposed of at prices in advance OF
the regular market. We find that
people are glad to pay us higher
Drice. because our chickens are well
fattened and carefully dressed and be-
cause the eggs are of good size, clean
and uniform in shape and color.
January 1, 1906, we had on hand
sixty Orpingtons which we will value
nominally at $100 each, or sou Tor
Ak
which covers everything bought ana
fed to our entire flock, old and young
For stationery, stamps and advertlslng
we paid $64.4O. This makes the total
of our expenses to OCTOBER nrsI'
S211.S3. During the same nine months
we sold stock at S. to $40 each, Tor
which we obtained in all $1O5. Dur
ing the Matching season we sold eggs
at SO to S. per sitting to the amount
of $50. Eggs and broilers sold amount
ed to $3.50. Eggs used at home, ac-
counted for at market price, $23. Eggs
used at home for Matching purposes,
estimated at % cents a dozen, $lO.zo.
October first we had in our yards one
hundred and forty birds, which at
81 90, the valuation we gave to the
birds with which we started the year,
are worth $40. This makes the total
receipts for the above named period,
$42O.75. This gives us net profit OF
$208.92, very nearly $3.50 per bird
in nine months time. AS we expect
TO sell a number of birds at more
than $1.OO each, the price we have es-
timated them, before January l, 1907,
as well as to sell some eggs ana
dressed poultry before that date, winch
will more than pay for the food con-
sumed, it seems likely that we will
realize a profit of 81 on each OF the
original flock of sixty birds in twelve
months. There is no question but
that pure-bred poultry properly han
died pays.
