On City Lot.
Not only can chickens be success
are a source of much pleasure as well
as profit, and especially so with those
who love their chickens and make
pets of them, by visiting them often,
handling them and feeding them by
hand 1t is much pleasure to the
writer to hatch an incubator of Leg
horns or Orpingtons and watch them
grow from the time they are balls of
down until they mature into beautiful
pullets and gallant cockerels. BY
spending much time with them, feed
ing them by hand. giving them every
little care and attention, they soon
learn to know me; jump upon my
arm and hand when being fed and
are always on the lookout for my
approach. 1t is interesting to watch
them develop into the required type.

(By J. HOWARD sLEDD).

During the past few years the high
price of chickens and eggs has made
it almost impossible for those of lin
roast chicken for Sunday dinner. an
occasional fried chicken or fresh egg
for family use at all times. Nearly
every city family has room enough in
their back yard to raise enough
chickens and eggs for their own con-
sumption and at minimum cost.
The idea that chickens cannot stand
confinement and will not do well in
limited quarters is all bosh it is a
proven fact that in small numbers
and in limited quarters chickens do
remarkably well With large range
for chickens they do not require the
amount of attention that is necessary
in a small space, but with a little
extra attention to the confined
ch'cken and with proper feeding,
they will be healthy and vigorous
and lay eggs in abundance.
In many of the poultry shows in
various parts of the country it has
happened time and again that the
city lot breeder has bred and ex-
hibited birds which have won over
the big breeders. This. no doubt. is
due to extra care and attention given
to each individual bird by the small
breeder. Such care and attention de-
velops the birds to remarkable eX-
tent, for chickens respond quickly to
extra attention paid them. The small
breeder can give individual attention,

most interesting and fascinating to
see them grow and develop into fine
specimens like the parent stock. The
intelligence shown by pure bred
chickens is sometimes remarkable. at
times they almost show human intel
ligence; they seem to know me ana
to appreciate what is done for them
they never flutter and cackle at your
approach: they come to meet you
half way.
How to Make II Start.
BY starting with a trio--a cockerel
and two pullets-of pure bred chick
ems. and breeding from them this
spring, quite mic, little flock can be
raised by fall; or you could do equally
as well by buying several settings OF
high class eggs this spring and breed
from what YOU raise from them, the
cockerels and culls can be eaten as
they get old enough and in the fall
discard all the pullets that are under
sized and of bad color, and you VIII
have a flock of chickens from which
you will derive much pleasure and
which will furnish you many eggs in
the fall and spring when eggs are
high. If YOU have the best stock you
will have many calls for eggs for
Matching which you can sell ut a
price that will make your chickens
profitable to you.
Begin With Quality.
Above all things remember this
To raise stock of quality, you must
start with the quality kind; get a
high class trio to begin with, or eggs
from a breeder which had the win
ners. The best is the cheapest. II you
are going to raise chickens for either
pleasure or profit or FOR both.

but takes its name from the city of Hamburg.
The pencilcd varieties were the first of these,

qualities appear to have made them popular
for two centuries. and they were used in the
