SQUAD Raising for Profit.
NV e. L. Reber.)


Those who expect to make a success
of the SQUAD business in the north
west must familiarize themselves with
the prices of various grains and then
feed those grains which are the cheap
est and best. 1t will be found that
kaffir corn, red wheat, and cracked
corn are the grains that are cheapest
and best for pigeons in the northwest.
1t is all right to feed little rice,
hemp and once in while Canada
peas, but these latter foods cannot be
a part of the daily diet, owing to the
fact that they are too expensive. They
are not essential to the health OF
the birds. They are dainties which
will be of benefit to them, but it is
questionable if they will increase the
size of the squads. Just now many
people, new in the squad business, are
paying fancy prices for choice grains;
nothing is too good for their birds,
but in few months, when the heavy
grain bills begin to roll in and the
income from the squads marketed is
not large, these people will realize
the force of these remarks and get
down to grain that is under two
cents.
am in receipt of a letter this
week from man in Pennsylvania
who was raising pigeons twenty-five
years ago and who is still in the
business. He feeds some Canada
peas, but he gets them in his town
for two and one-third cents; buck
wheat costs him only $1.20 hundred.
Out here it is three dollars. He pays
only $133 for wheat and SO cents for
cracked corn. He feeds the more ex-
pensive grains, he says, just as dain-
ties and when they are too high the
birds get none at all. Furthermore,
he is close to the big markets and
gets a fine figure for his squads. In
the winter he says prices for squads
go up to five dollars per dozen for
birds that run eight pounds to the
dozen. 1t is only a question of time
out mere until higher prices prevail,
and when purchasers will realize that
it is to their advantage to pay fancy
prices for choice birds. While the
Seattle squad market is on the i'm
prove all the time, it is true that
even today the subject of squads has
not been given serious attention. In
the first-class restaurants of Seattle
the bill-of fare calls for squads with
bacon, 65 cents" Sometimes the
SQUADS served are small and dark
skinned and it is easy to see that they
are from common pigeons. A person
who knows what delicacy it is to
have juicy Homer squad served does
not take kindly to a common SQUAD
that is almost void of meat. However,
restaurant men are coming to realize
that it pays to buy fine squads and as
a result prices are improving.
Already people are going out of
the SQUAD business and declaring that
it does not pay. 1t is the story of

The free alcohol bill is hung up
in the Senate Finance Commit
tee, and chairman Aldrich is
preparing to investigate the
question throughly'. As Stand
ard Oil will be the principal
loser, by free alcohol connecting
with gasoline and napatha, it is
quite possible that the grey
wolves may hold up the bill for
this session. Those Republican
farmers who have been electing
Republican members of legislat-
ures and thus saddled themselves
with those who ride then to their
own undoing, will have to change
their politics or still find the
market for their grain limited as
heretofore.

Wilson's Magazine.

The leading exponent of
Jeffersonian Democracy, Edited
by Hon. Thos. E. Watson, of
Georgia, the Father of Rural
Free Delivery; author of The
Story of France" Life of
Napoleon, " Life and Times of
Thomas Jefferson Bethany"
and other books. Mr.. Watson
was the Peoples Party nominee
for Vice-President in 1896, and
for President in 1904. He is to-
day heading a middle-class re-
form movement which is bound
to sweep the country in short
time.
Watson's Magazine is not a
Socialist publication. 1t does
not stand for collective owner
ship of all the means of product
ion. Mr.. Watson believes in
public or government ownership
of railroads, telegraphs and tele-
phones; in municipal ownership
of street railway, gas, electric
lights, water works, ETC.; and he
believes in private ownership .of
all industries not natural monop-
olies.
The middle class-the home
owners, farmers, small business
men and property owners won
Jefferson's victory in 1900; won
Jackson's victory over Nick Bid
dies money power in 1882; won
Lincoln's victory in 1860. But
each time after the flush of vic
tory had died away, they became
careless of their rights and went
to sleep. They have slept a good
portion of the time since 1865,

mon prudence ought to teach the
ACCESSIBILITY of declining to an
swer questions over the phone
until the party calling shall have
announced his personality.
Whoever heard of visitor
butting into a mans office and
greeting him with the query,
Who the deuce are you, any
how"
The right to question is plainly
in the man called upon; the duty
of explanation clearly with the
caller. But there are many
brusque, not to say impairment,
persons, who think that the
tables are turned when using a
telephone. They seem to think
that because the exchange has
connected them with your phone
you and your servants and all
that are of your house are their
victims; but that to them is per-
mitted a degree of caution as tc
identity and freedom as to speech

caller has disclosed himself fully.
No doubt there is the preroga-
tive of immediate response at
tached to the telephone call just
as there is the courtesy Of i'm
mediate attention to a caller to
your office but in both instances
the right of inquiry remains with
the party called upon. The call
err may with perfect propriety,
after your questioning hello or
your look of inquiry ask if this
is Mr.. So and So, but should he
throw brutal and suspicious
who the deuce are your
he deserves to be kicked out;ss.so
the who is that" from the
caller at the other end tosthe
party called ought to be rungsoff
promptly, and repeatedly enough
to inculcate better manners in
his use of the telephone.
In the East the who is that"
query from the wrong end of
the wire is so painfully frequent
that in households, where either
caution or a sense of the courtesy
due the inmates prevails, in
structions are issued to ignore
telephone calls unless the latter
discloses his identity. Down
this way we are not so often thus
rudely Intercepted as the man
ners of our people are better
than those of that section but
there are with us quite as many
of these carelessly impudent
querists as needs be and the
sooner we ring off" the last
one of them the happier it viii

TELEPHONE MANAGER.

The telephone is no longer 6
new nor a novel institution anC
crudeness, even rudeness OF
manners is no longer tolerated
on the grounds of unusualhness
of situation.
The who is that" of the
man or woman at other end of
the line who has just called you
from your occupation, not at
your convenience, but at his or
hers, is just too exasperating for
words.
What right is there in the fell
low at a distance to first call you
with a harsh and jingling bell
and then to greet your hello
with suspicious query? Why
should you leave your chair, drop
your work and hasten to the i'm
patient rattle of bell, and then
patiently subject your self to a
catechism from some unknown
party?"

not demand resentment at the
query from the unknown, COM

a moment in personal converse.
"Ting-a-ling-ling" We'll,
hello"' Hello, who is that?''
Now don't you feel like saying,
in the most dignifed manner
imaginable:
Look here, sir; didn't call
you. You have caused the ex-
change to ring my number.
Presumably, you have some
thing to say to some member of
my household. Well you be con-
siderate enough to designate
who it is you wish to converse
with and courteous enough to
declare your identity that | may
Judge as to the ACCESSIBILITY of
permitting further communicate
ion."
But you don't use language of
this sort. In the embarrassment
of being asked who you are in
your own quarters you either
grow confused and answer the
insolent question, or else you
lose your temper and try:to con-
tribute to the embarrassment of
the wretch at the other end of
the line.
These inconsiderate interrogators
have a way, too, of ringing up a
residence in the night time, and,
without discovering their own
identity, breezily inquire if the
man of the family is there. For
obvious reasons these queries
should not be.answered. until the
