tity OF either or both with very
little expense.
What will 1t cost me per pound to
raise young chickens when have to
buy all my feed at the following
prices: Corn, $1.S5; wheat. $2.25;
Corno scratch, $3.50; Oats. $2.25 per
hundred: beef meal, $500. and oys-
ter shell. $1.25 per hundred? win
say that have Barred Rocks and
Black Minorcas. VIII use sprout-
ed oats for green food.
ANSWER
The samples OF rock sent me will
answer as a substitute for grit IL
you cannot get the grit that is
sharper than this. This grit is too
round and smooth. The sharper the
grit the better it will be- The
larger size. If crushed would be
better than the present size, but
should not be ground as fine as the
fine sample Chickens need sharp
edged grit to help grind and III
gest their food.
Tt would cost you for the first
pound TO raise broilers at 10
weeks old. at the prices you are
now paying for feed. at least rs
cents, and 1t would pay you TO sell
them at this age rather than keep
them until they weigh two pounds,
as the extra pound would cost you
at least 40 cents more. The price
you are paying is entirely too
much. You can get a better price
than these by buying from the
Lackawanna Springs Poultry Sup
ply company. Of Jacksonville. Fla.
The beef meal should not cost over
$3.50 per hundred. and the other
feeds in proportion.
The two breeds you have are both
good and should be profitable in
your section.

to you. do not hesitate to call on

ANSWER.
Usually any truck gardener or
florist will buy chicken manure,
and the price is usually $1.00 per
100 pounds for pure well-dried
chicken manure. 1t is the cheap
est fertilizer any one can buy
even at this price. Empty sacks
are bought by the Fulton Bag and.

send you a circular stating what
prices are paid for same upon re-
quest.

the standard points on White Leg
horns, so I can score them right;

Now, 1 am anxious to know how to
score birds for the show.
ANSWER.
have had a description of White
Leghorns and also the Orpingtons
in the paper several times. The
only way you can study these
fowls and know exactly how to
score and select your birds will be
to buy a Standard of Perfection,
and take it and score your own
birds, and apply IL repeatedly. In
this way you should become ia
miliar with the important points
and can soon be able to select your
birds yourself. You can get q
Standard for $3.50, which describes
fully all the different varieties of
chickens and tells exactly how you
can score them. You cannot breed
thoroughbred chickens without the
use of the Standard and make a
success of it

The cause for soft-shellud eggs is
from the lack Of lime to furnish the
necessary elements to harden the
shell, and excessive feeding OF corn
will often cause this trouble. 1 nave

Package Delivered by AeropIane.

New York, June 29.-The first piece
of merchandise ever delivered at sea
by aeroplane fell on the upper deck of
the White Star liner Olympic as she
steamed through the narrows, outward
bound, on her maiden eastward pas
sage. Thomas Sopwith, the English
aviator, with Richard r. Sinclair, sec
rotary of the Aero club holding the
package. rose from the aviation
grounds at Garden City and timed his
fight to meet the liner in the narrows.
No word came from on board whether
it had landed or not, but to those on
nearby craft and to the aviators it
seemed certain the package had fallen
true.
