minated birds in the two years, and
not more than the normal percentage
of very young squads, so we feel en-
cOuraged.
We owe our measure of success en-
tirely to your book, and have always
wished to thank you; we feed and
treat generally as you direct; except,
and that brings me to some questions.
we cannot get Kaffir corn here at all.
and no peas except our ordinary field
peas, of the black eye or field variety
Sometimes the birds will eat them and
sometimes not, our reliance in feeds
are wheat, cracked corn and millet;
hemp we give occasionally, and rice
also.
Now for questions: Where can we
get Kaffir corn, and at what price?
What is the difference between Cana
da peas, and those we have, and where
can we get Canada peas? Dealers
here know nothing about them.
Our market takes squads simply
and ours weigh, at four weeks old,
nine and nine and a half pounds to the
dozen; what would they weigh if
plucked?
Odu yOu lcu Hc InlIS VI WdSu-
ingtOn, ID. c., as squad market?
Here we get three dollars a dozen, but
the demand is in the fall, winter and
very early spring only; this has not
Inconvenience us hitherto as we
wished to increase the flock.
Where can we get sweet fern?
Have tried drug stores here without
success.
We have allowed our young squads
to mate by natural selection, as we
can in no way tell the sexes, after
they rear or at least to hatch one pair
of squads we transfer them to the
mated house; is that as well as we
can do?
Ought the loft to have some new
blood in it the next season? Would
it be wise to buy some young nest mate
HOmers of this past springs breeding,
and put them with our own young
stock to mate in fall?
We use pine needles for nests and
the birds like them very much; we
have the long leaf pine.
Our birds have been cared for entire
ly by two ladies and two of three
small children, girls; and if we had
a better market we feel sure the loft
from now ON would easily clear 15O
yearly per pair; as it is they cleared
last year, that is from June to June
just past, 81. per mated pair, some of
them a little more.
Pardon such a very long letter, but
you had helped us so much that we
wished you to know about it. Wish
ing you every success.
1t is gratifying indeed to have such
plain, candid statements from persons
who have gone through the actual eX-
perience of starting and bringing a
loft of HOming pigeons to successful
termination. 1t is unfortunate that
the shippers of pigeons as squad
breeders do not use more care and
judgment in the selection and mating
of the birds they send out The state
ment that birds are mated or paired is
not sufficient. Every sale of pigeons
for squad producing should carry with
them the guarantee that they are
mated, working, producing breeders.
These three elements should always
go with the sale of the BIRDS

t. Easter at the Churches.

The glorious Easter morn dawned bright and. beautiful Sunday, the day perhaps nearest to the hearts of those who hold the Christian faith. It.. is uni versally observed throughout the world, and in this city at the Methodist and Episcopal churches the. celebration was commemora- tive of the resurrection of Christ Elaborate programs of music were rendered and church goers had choice morsels to pick from in the excellent things planned and those who attended were well paid for their time.
 The decorations were exquisite, the altars being banked with palms, ferns and Easter lilies.
 METHODIST.
 The morning service at the Methodist church was under the auspices of the two missionary socleties and was under the di- rection of Mrs. C. B. Crook and Mrs. B. r. Whitaker.
 The rite of baptism was ad- ministered to twelve children at this hour. The evening service which was 8 sacred concert un- der the direction of Miss Hester Lynn Phillips, was a treat to all music lovers and drew 8 packed house. The program was choice ore and the musical talent was the best ir the city. Miss Phillips is to be congratulated on the splendid success of the service and 1t $ needless to say any future musical she may direct will rot fail to be well at tended.

Judge Mclaughlin tells q story Of 4
German friend who never mentioned
the idea Of returning to his native
land. One evening while a number
of friends were Willing the hours
away in the smoke clouds Of fra
grant Havanas, the German was
pressed for an explanation as to Why
he never visited the scenes Of his
childhood.
ZACH, Got in Himmel!" exclaimed
the German. And then followed the
explanation that he had deserted from
the German army and would be ar
rested should he ever set foot on Ger
man soil. 1t was then that the crowd
decided to play trick on the Ger
man, and after generous supply of
the liquid that has made Milwaukee
famous ,one of the number, who was
something of an actor, disguised him,
self as German army Officer and ar
rested the man as a deserter. The
friends offered to bride the officer into
releasing the prisoner, and this was
finally and reluctantly granted upon
the condition that the German sign
an oath of allegiance without read
Ing. This he did, and the paper, which
proved to be scathing accusation OF
the character of the man who had
fled the army, has been the cause of
the payment of many cigars.
