begins September with more plumage
than flesh, relatively speaking His long
legs have galloped over long distances
mainly in the interest of feathers and
muscle. Thereafter his greater develop
ment tends to round out the angles TO
build tempting table-fowl. The draught
upon birds vitality made by feathering
is only half realized. 1t accounts for the
scanty fund of reserve strength in birds
under three months of age. No wonder
that they succumb so easily to various
complaints.
An ever-incrcasing gap yawns be-
tween the increasing needs of the tur-
keys maturing bodies and the auto
matte cessa ton of the summers food
supply. Careless disregard of this fact
is one of the numerous leaks of the
turkey crop. Experienced growers al
low their flocks to register no differ
ence by beginning early to fill the de-
ficiency by feeding with an eye to
making candidates for the Thanksgiv-
ing shipment This is the choicest
market, as a rule. 1t can be depended
upon to be insufficiently supplied with
select birds and ready to give good
prices for plump fowls. The advantage
of early clearance of ones flock, or of
its best members is obvious. AT any
rate, neglect at the beginning of fall
may delay shipment till beyond Christ
mas, since growth proceeds slowly in
cold weather. Prolonged feeding di-
minishes profits. Efficiency in mar

BLACK COCHIN BANTAMS

History has it that during the oc-
cupation of Picking by the Anglo
French expedition a pair of Bantams
frequented the tent of an English Of
hcer, picking up crumbs and becoming
tame. Later they were shipped to Eng
land, whence they were extensively
bred.
These Picking Bantams, as they were
called, were said to be the Chinese
Emperors exclusive property, since
none were bred outside the palace gar
dens. 1t was therefore impossible to inn
port other specimens from China, con-
sequently the few specimens available
were threatened with extinction by in
tensive inbreeding. In an effort to save
their waning vitality, crosses We're
made with the Nankin and Booted Ban
tams and even with the large Cochns.

There is little to be gained by rear

purposes they are highly recommended.

process being handball. to be sure and get
down to hustllng weight.
No man in the game esteems a clean
base hit any better than the ex-Giant
catcher. So his slump of the last two
years jolted him badly and he is deter
mined to go the full limit. plus, to regain
the old lustre of his batting eye. To prove
this, Meyers was willing to start his
training campaign four months before
opening day.
