Notice.

To the merchants of the city:
The committee on games and
sports and entertainment for the
Shiawassee Home Coming Week de-
sire contribution of the prizes
from the merchants for the minor
events, such as swimming race; tub
race; 100 yard DASH girls potato
race; greesed pig, &C., being about
twenty events in all, but requiring
about sixty prizes. Wesuggest that
each merchant at once notify either
George K. Pardee or John Hughes
what prizes the y will give and the
committee will assign them to the
events and at the proper time pub
fish the prizes and the doners. We
urge the merchants to act promptly
that we can arrange the program
and not be compelled to take time
to make personal calls. This plan
becomes necessary to relieve our
fund as We have large program.

Some Valuable Hints For BREEDERS OF
the Feathered Beauties.

Good shelter. is half the food. No
matter how well we feed, If the shelter
is not of the right order, only half the
results will be produced.
The runt hen cross is said to pro-
duce the finest squads, but at present is
too high priced for the general market.
Give the loft good coat Of white
wash, and it is recommended that a
little glue be mixed in it to prevent
the whitening coming off on your
clothes.
Il. G. Cummings says that it costs
him $1.30 per pair to build houses; 92
cents to feed breeders, and two men to
attend to 5000 pairs. Tse cents per
pair will cover cost of grit, charcoal,
salt, lime, sand, tobacco stems, etc.
1t will be found that those pigeons
that molted early will be the first and
best squad producers.
1t Is the hen pigeon that builds the
| nest.
The hen usually lays her first egg in
the afternoon.
Breeders under twelve months Of age
| should be avoided. Immature females
cannot possibly produce large, we'll de-
veloped squads, nor can they be de-
pended upon to produce squads entire
ly free from disease and ailments OF
all kinds.
A few odd cocks have been known to
destroy more young birds in one day
than a couple of rats would in a whole
| night.
A damp house creates catarrhal and
bronchial colds, which later develop
into roup and canker.
Filth poisons the air and becomes in
tested itself with disease germs, which
in turn contaminate the nest boxes,
communicating to both old and young
diseases which destroy.
AS a good working pair Of breeders
will hatch the second pair Of young
within week from the time the first
pair were weaned, it is essential that
proper food be given the old birds, that
they may keep up their own strength
and at the same time push their young
TO the market size.-Philadelphi Farm

Two and a half parts of cornmeal

Miles in better than Gil are becoming
so common that this years renewal of
the M. & NJ. stake at the Blue Ribbon
Meeting in Detroit promises to see the
event trotted in faster time than even
that made by Eleata, the record maker
for the race. NJ & M. candidates are
surprising owners, trainers and every
body by their speed and excellent con-
dition, and in addition to the likelihood
that they will be fast there is now
every assurance that they will be like
perfectly trained athletes when they
score through the stretch.
With the reports of the general ex-
cellence of this years crop of stake
horses is the natural added interest in
the meetings at which they will per-
form, and the outlook for the Blue Rib
bon Meeting is brighter than ever in its
long and spotless career. The program
of the Detroit races this year is also
arranged that instead of one big day
there shall be five, every afternoon
starting with July % being illuminated
with at least one event of great import;
ance. The fields in the various events
will average larger than it has ever
been the fortune of the Detroit Driving
Club to have, and under the three heat
plan which absolutely prevents laying
up" heats, the greatest racing in the
history of the turf is in sight.

The suggestion of the Journal that
Odell Chapman, of Owosso, would be a
good man to send to the state constitu-
tional convention has been received
with marked favor by republicans all
over the county and there is no doubt
of his nomination and election. In fact
it appears as though there would be no
opposition. His qualifications are so
we'll known that every one seems to
favor him. Mr.. Chapman has been a
hard worker for the republican party
and has never been honored with an Of
flee nor has he ever sought political
favor so that it would be deserved
compliment if he was nominated with
out any opposition. We publish in an
other column his announcement of his
acceptance il nominated and elected. =
