perience.

SQUAD farming has developed in the
last ten years into an industry of con
siderable Importance, and so far there
is no trust connected with it.
1t is important, before going into
the industry, that a fair statement be
made OF what the financial returns
may be. For while the work among
the birds may to many people be the
most delightful and fascinating of all
rural occupations, still serious disap-
pointment will be met if only the
glowing promises of the boomers are
read.
Much of the squad farming litera-
ture disseminated by those having
breeding birds to sell would indicate
that to obtain one of their beautifully
illustrated booklets and to buy some
birds from them, is all that is re-
CURED to assure complete success and
large profits. That is very far from
the truth.
If one is fond enough of the work
really to give the closest attention to
his birds until he knows they are
properly mated land this requires a
great deal of time and patience even
from the most experienced and then
will daily continue to give them the
most careful attention and see that
all their requirements are met (and
this is essentiaD, such one will run
a good chance of raising an average of
three to five pairs of marketable
squads per pair of breeders per annum
in the northern states. He will. how
ever, raise three to four pairs very
much oftener than five.
Presenting that the flock consists
OF Homers, the squads produced
should be mostly eight pounds to the
dozen, says Howard Butcher, in Farm
Journal. There might be few weigh
ing nine pounds to the dozen, and an
occasional one a little heavier; but
there will also be a few weighing as
low as six to seven pounds 10 the
dozen, and once in while a Gull Any

ket price. 1t must be borne in mind
that while squads command fancy
prices in winter, that season is the
time when comparatively few are pro-
duced; the greatest prod uction is in
the summer when the prices are the
lowest. There is an opportunity some
times to sell young birds for breeding
purposes and thus get a better price
for them than by killing for squads,
but, as a rule, squad farmers have to
depend upon sending the birds to
market.

with all due Difference to the ability Of the
several candidates and their quallfca-

place at this time is Judge F D. M. Davis
Of Ionia and the Banner takes pride in
nominating him. Ionia county is entitled
to it above any claims Of the other coun-
