the price Of fine stock for eggs for
Matching. Remember that the best

easy to raise thoroughbred fowls after
you get started. you must pay a good
price for good stun to start with. So
many who are just starting in fancy
poultry keeping want to get fine birds
for too little money. Remember that
fine birds are in demand and the per-
son who has them doesn't need to sell
them at g1ve-away prices. Often those
who have not fine stock offer them as
fine at very low prices.

Remarkable Christmas
Present.

Among the curious Christmas presents
of this year will be one for man of ma
tional reputation, which has been all year
in the making.
Way last January the present was
decided upon, and friend of the promi-
nent gentleman requested the Burrelles
Press Clipping Bureau, of New York.
to watch every paper in America, and
to take up every item which appeared
concerning the man.
The clipping bureau people followed
instructions, and now present the history
Of one year in the life Of this especial man.
The history ends just after election,
and the 2O,o42 newspaper items found
include everything firm three-line edi-
torial mention to full-page illustrated
stories. These have been mounted on
1900 great sheets Of Irish linen paper
and bound into three massive volumes.
At the head Of each item is the name
and date OF paper clipped from, this in
formation having been put in with
book typewriter. The words thus liz
serted amount to 1852.
In actual time. very strict record OF
which has been kept the work has re-
quired sixty-four working days through-
out the year, and has kept in employment
during that time thirty people as readers.
clippers, sorters. mounters and binders.
Every newspaper OF Importance is repre-
sentcd.
This is merely specimen Of some OF
the unique orders which get into the Bur-
relle Bureau, for the extent to which
clippings are used by individuals and by
business concerns seems to be remarkable.
There are many people in private as
we'll as in public life who need press clip
pings and don't know it. It might be
wen for them to look up this man Bur-
relle who is said to be SO we'll known
that a letter simply addressed "Burrelle.
