Cupid's Dart Hit Hard at Big
Wedding. 8

NEW YORK, Oct. 12.-Cupid was
very busy last winter at the Could
Decies n%uptials, despite the throngs of
dressmakers and the curious who
might easily have disturbed the best
of marksmen. The third of the brides
maids to obey the arrowed demand of
the small god paid her homage yester-
day, when Miss Emeline w. Holmes
and Gustave f.. Touchard were mar
rie1 in South Church. Park ven and
Eightieth street.
The first of the bridesmaids to be
married was Miss Annie Douglass
Graham, whose mother was Princess
Ka1kilani, of Hawaii. She welded Jay
Gould, the young brother of the former
Miss Vivian Gould, last April. The
second was Louise Cromwell, of Wash
ington. Her husband is Walter b.
Brooks. jr., of Baltimore. They were
married in Washington last May.
Apart from It's connection with the
Gould wedding, the affair of yesterday
Is interesting as a nan of tennis.
Gustave F. Touchard is, with Ray
mond D.. Little, national doubles cham
pion of the United States. Miss
Holmes. who is the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Jabish Holmes, of 116 East
Fifty-eighth street, is also a tennis
player whose feats have been lauded
by tennis writers. They had known
one another for several years.

RAISING ONLY
GOOD POULTRY
No Farmer Can Reap Profit From,
Any Kind of Fowls Except One
ofStandard Breeds
Ducks Improve.

Less than hundred years ago
there was no poultry in America ex-
cept utility or ordinary farmyard
poultry. From 40 to 60 eggs a year
was considered a wonderful yield. Car
cases weighed from two and half
to three pounds, and most of that was
bone and offal. Now there are more
than a hundred varieties, all better
egg producers and better market
poultry than were known prior to the
compilation of the standard. The
standard descriptions have guided
fanciers to the creation of the great
est egg-producers and the best mar
ket poultry. and there is not on rec
ord today, nor is there likely to be. an
egg-laying record made by any fowl
that is not standardized. Unless an
extraordinary effort is made, market
poultry superior to some of the stand
ard meat-producing or general-pur-
pose fowls will not be produced.
No man on farm, great or small.
can profit from the keeping of any
kind of fowls except one of the stand
ard-bred varieties. And the more
carefully he has followed the dictates
of the standard the more successful
he will be in making a profit from
them. The largest egg farms, the
largest market-poultry farms. the
largest egg producers and largest
dressed-poultry producers of the
world keep some of the standard va
