kuRios FROM CORRESPONDENT;

Q. Which do you consider The cheap
est poultry to raise:
4. Geese. They mostly eat grass TIL
frost comes and Sell at good price.
Q. Which do you consider the best
breed OF chickens:
4. The best breed Is that which the
individual fancicr likes best. under
stands best ami which best suits the
purpose for which he keeps fowls.
Q. VII you kindly inform me why
most OF my chicks pip the egg on the
underSide and then die?
\. Chicks naturally break the shell
on top because Matching heat IS top
heat You co not stop turning eggs
on the eighteenth day and thus cause
the trouble. The chicks sutfocate, rup-
ture themselves In their struggles or
catch their beak In the wire screen Of
the egg tray
Q. Do turkey eggs hatch in incu-
bators: Do you consider artscial!r
hatched chicks so good as those hatch
ed under hens?
4. Turkey raisers in California and
Texas have great success in Matching
peuits in machines Many incubator
manufacturers claim they bave licked
the hen TO 4 frazzle. This is all raz-
zle dazzle.
Q. am breeding White Crested
Black Polish, but do not succeed In
getting large topknot Please advise
ME.
4. Polish have knob from which
their pretty 'toppy.' or crest, grows.
Feel their heads and breed from those
with large knobs.
Q. Do you ever Sc: chicks with one
leg longer than the other! I get some
in every incubator hatch, and they are
generally the finest. Why is It?
A. II you examine the chicks leg
at the knee you will find it IS case
where the bones don't Ct the socket.
The chick IS simply a born cripple,
artificial incubation still being tmper-
feet. Such. chicks often recover when
placed with hens
Q. In cutting green bone how fine co
you make it? Which are the best
bones and how much should one pay
for them:
4. The best bone cutters snce the

TWO MEN ATTEMPT
 JAIL DELIVERY

Selma, September 22.-(Special. IA dar- ing attempt to escape from the county jail was made Wednesday evening about o'clock by M. P. Young and c. F. Matheny, two white men.
 Young and Matheny were arrested sev- eral months ago by Deputy Sheriff Cher ry on the charges of being suspicious characters. Later it was found out that they had come to Selma down the Ala bama river in a slSiff which they had stolen in Montgomery, and the charge of bringing stolen property into the city was made against them. The two men have just completed sentence of 40 days on the public roads of the county.
 When discovered last night. the two men were just in the act of leaving the county jail through a hole which they had dug through one of the outside walls. While allowed to roam about in the corridors of the Jail they had dug the hole just above their steel cages. The two men had stolen the rope from the gallows and torn up a blanket into strips, which they had sp1iced with the rope. The attempt to leave the jail was given away by a negro, and when Jailer Cos by went to investigate he found Young on top of his steel cage with his grip tied to the rope and in the act of letting It through the hole to the ground below.
