A Pigeons depreciate In value with,

their prime when three years old, and
there are very few pairs that pay for:
their feed after, they are seven years

stock have been known to buy these

five cents, and then sell them to the
unsuspecting; public as guaranteed.
mated birds (Which they certainly
2are) at from two or three dollars q
pair. Such birds, as a rule, will breed
pretty well for the first few months
in their new quarters, but after that
they are only a source Of expense.
For this reason a man should buy
birds from some one with whom he
lis personally acquainted, or else from
some person who is willing to give q
guarantee not only as to the birds
being mated, but also as to age. II.
they are mated birds there is no rea'
son why a salesman should not fur
tnish particulars with them, giving tho
numbers on the leg bands, and if he
has bred them, which most breeders
claim to have done, he ought to be in
position to give a fair estimate as to
age, but as there is no way of verify.
ing this statement, the only safe plan
is to buy young birds and mate them
yourself. .z= 81 81 Il x. 4.5

Cheese is credited with containing
as much nutriment in one pound as is
contained In two pounds of beef. It
bothers the digestion, of some, but the
