feed with the exception of the wheat.
The ccost for keep, including feed,
labor, grit, salt, etc, is in my own
SQUAD plant $I.2o per pair. My aver
age sales per dozen, after paying the
packing and express charges, bring
me never less than $3.25.
1t is not my purpose in this letter to
enter into detailed description of the
work necessary to raise squads, am
only touching on the few points that
may interest anyone thinking of en-
gaglng in the business, either for
pleasure or profit. I myself have got
ten great deal of the former and as
much of the latter as I could expect.
| know OF no prettier sight than
looking down the long rows of breed
ers sitting on their perches, cooling
their tales of love to one another,
the sunlight glittering on their many
varied hues making a veritable kalei-
doscope of color, and when, on the
approach of friend they know and
trust, as one walks down the front
of their flying pens throwing some
dainty they love, with whir Of wings,
the sound Of which reminds one of
the breakers on the sea shore, as
house after house, the birds rise with
one accord, each trying to get the
nearest to the person feeding them.
On the completion of new houses
going up I will send you some pic
lures Of the farm. I append letter
from one of my customers to show
that squads can be and are raised in
Florida as we'll as anywhere in the
world. In fact the climate of Florida
and California are the best and health
lest for the SQUAD business.

put in all the bathing pans, which
lnsures us against lice and insects OF
all descriptions, that deadly foe OF the
chicken raiser, which so far we have
never been plagued with. The birds
are fed twice day, at a. m. and
4 p. m.
The squad farm is situated in the
midst of forty acre orange grove,
and once week when the houses are
cleaned the manure is hauled from the
houses and spread broadcast between
the rows Of orange trees. I estimate
that the cost of labor is more than
twice paid for by the fertilizer we get.
Nothing in the way Of an orange tree
fertilizer have ever seen to equal it.
The trees keep rich, dark green color
for two years without second appli-
cation. To those interested in orange
culture | may add that once year we
also apply few pounds of acid phos-
plate and high grade potash to bal
ance up the fertilizer. For trucking
purposes also it cannot be excelled
The manure being free from noxious
weed seeds, it is in the North finding
large sale as lawn fertilizer. It is
also in great demand in tanning fac
tories for tanning high grades of
leather.
Pigeons. unlike poultry, do not suf-
fer from sickness and disease if rea-
sonable care is given to them. In
the years I have been in the business
my loss from sickness has been so
trlfllng as to be hardly worth count
ing, the death rate amongst the squads
being not quite 3 per cent, and of the
adult birds, out Of nearly two thou
sand lost last year only seventeen.
Every month the finest, largest
youngsters instead of being killed, |
are placed in the minated pens for
future breeders. They start to mate
at from five to six months old and
will continue as vigorous breeders up
to nine years old. When North l
carefully select a few Of the best
strains of Honers that [ can find and
ship them to my farm to breed their
with my own birds, thus
eliminating the slightest chance Of
in breeding. AS a rule I have found
that the Northern-bred bird takes a
long while to become acclimated to
the southern climate, not commencing
to breed for many months [ have
had numbers of splendid mated birds
that did not lay an egg for nearly a
year, after which I got as many as ten
pairs Of squads year from some of
them. I do not doubt that my own
southern-bred birds if shipped North
would take the same length of time
before getting acclimatd and settling
down to business. In the many ship
ments Of breeders I have made have
seldom failed to get letter in a few
days from my customer, saying, all
the birds received had gone to work
and were doing splendidly.
The feed I find best suited to the
birds in this climate is Kafir corn,
millet, peas and wheat, all of which,
with the exception of the wheat, can

| am well aware many people have
not made success of the SQUAD bust
ness, which failures may be accounted
for generally by the two following
reasons: Either they have not cared
Tor the birds, not giving them regular
feeds, impure food and water, sur
conditions, uncleaned houses, ETC., or
else, and this second reason will ne
found to be the cause Of nine-tenths OF
the failures, is that they have started
with minated birds. There lies the

pairs is impossible
The breed Of pigeon we have found
the best and now invariably use for
SQUAD raising, is the Antwerp-H omer,
they are the best and most profitable
birds, they are constant to mates,
breed faster, have less unfertile eggs,
take better care Of their young, than
any other known breed of pigeons.
Homers are so called ON account Of
object lesson to many of us humans.
When once mated from their own
selection they are mated and remain
true to each other for life, and when
separated will grieve for weeks, often
dying of a broken heart. There is no
such thing as divorce in the Homer
pigeon world.
With good Homer birds properly
mated, getting good care, from six to
eight pairs Of squads can be raised
each year, the average weight OF
which will. run from eight to ten
pounds to the dozen. Their flesh is
white, having the most delicious fla

for an invalid there is nothing SO
nourishing, or SO tempting to a deli

that the game laws all over the coun
try are so rigid and the sale Of game
almost entirely prohibited, finds the
luscious SQUAD a worthy successor to
the partridge, grouse and quail of by
gone days.
My SQUAD farm consists of four
houses, each being I24 feet in length,
being subdivided into compartments
twelve feet by ten, opening to wire

The houses are raised two feet from

will be more clearly and generally
understood.
Heretofore, it was believed that
Tennessee possessed the only ph"s-
plate of lime deposits, and these
have long been shipped oyer this
country, and to Europe, as soil
fertilizers for which this natural
chemical Is most valuable. The
south sea islands have large rhos-
plate Of lime deposits which are
extensively worked and the product
shipped to oriental ports, as we'll as
TO other places. The immense de-
posts Of nitrate 0f soda on the west
South American coast are largely
worked and shipped as fertilizer.
But with the proper exploitation OF
the valuable deposits along the one
hundred and tenth meridian and
north Of the fortieth parallel Of lat
itude, the opportunities for very
heavy business appear to be almost
Ilmitless. The Short Line people,
and particularly the freight depart
ment, are wide awake TO these OPP
portunitirs, and active negotiations
are III progress with view to secur-
ing such export facilities as will en-
able them to meet the south Pacific
competition in extraneons ports
When this is accomplished thu
amount of business done will b.

Telegraphic advices from Illinois
are to the effect that the Mormon
question will enter into the politics
OF that state to some extent next
year. Senator Hopkins, who is .
candidate for re election, voted III
favor of Senator Smoot retaining
his seat in the senate and also mad,
q speech in favor of the Senator'S
right to the seat. The senate hay
ing settled the Smoot case, Hopkins
no doubt believed that it would be
dropped SO far as his state was con,
cerncd. But like Banqno's ghost,
it seems as though the Smoot affan
won't stay down, and VIM. E. Mason
who is an aspirant for Hopkins seat,
has announced the platform on
which he will make his campaign
next year and one of the principal
planks is declaration against Nor
monism. Mason is a red hot cam.
paigner and at the time of his cleo
ton to the senate in 1897, he wa,
one of the most popular men IN The
republican party in Illinois. II,
proved to be very unpopular sena
tor, however, and in 1908 Hopkins
defeated him for reelection will
hands down. Mason is anxious t.
regain his seat in the senate and h,
will attempt TO do it by raising thi
new Issue and appealing 10 religion
prejudices of the people. AS Illinoi
nov has primary law under which
the people vote on senatorial candi
dates, the result there will b
watched with great interest. Hop
kins will have the state organiza
ton back of him, which has
powerful influence in that state.

INVITE A TEST.
Larson Drug Go. Ask Catarrh Suffer CTS to Try Hyomei on Their
 Guarantee.

Larson Drug Co. invite all who suf- fer from any form of catarrhal trou- bles to get a Hyomei outfit from them with their absolute guarantee that if it does not give perfect satisfaction. the money will be refunded upon re- quest
 There is no other treatment for ca tarrh that in any way resembles Fly .Omei. none that gives such quick cur ative results and lasting satisfaction. no medicine that can take its place. none that can be sold oyf> guarantee like this, to refund the money unless It cures.
 Catarrh is a germ disease and can be cured only by breathing Hyomei. so that the most remote air cells in the nose. throat and lungs are reached by its antiseptic healing powers. In this way all catarrhal germs are kill ed, the irritated mucous membrane is healed and catarrh is driven from the system.
 This wonderful medicated air treat ment does not drug and derange the stomach, but is breathed through a little pocket inhaler that goes with ev- cry dollar outfit
 The unusual way in which the Lar son Drug Co. sell Hyomei attests their confidence in the remedy.
