should possess a broad but fat head, with
good sized, well developed bright red
clmb standing up, and with piercing ewes.
His body should be broad and deep. his
back rather low and full rounded breast.
The male should stand erect and have a
truly masculine appearance The head OF
the pen should possess all the quai6ca-
tions of good bird as the blood of the
male is one-half of that progeny, and for
that reason, should be selected with the
utmost care, that he may stamp his quail
tiles in the brood Of the pen. He should
be exceptionally strong in vieor and of
good blood lines His shape, color and
carriage is OF importance as generally re-
produced in the offspring
Pullets are not advocated for use in
the breeding pens hut rather, hens that
are in their second year. Where the
latter are used the progeny is OF higher
quality and stronger in vigor than in the
case when pullets are used.
Then too, in selecting the birds for
the breeding pens, no bird. either male
or female, should be used il il has suf
fered from any disease or if it is the pro-
geny of any bird so affected Disease is
verv often hereditary and will likely
show up i'll the offspring.
There are many advantages TO be gain
ed by early matches, and in order to get
the benefit of all these it is important
that you begin your matings now. The
eggs from birds forming the breeding
pens should never be used as soon as the
maiings are made. Ten days is consid-
cred the proper time for good fertility,
but even better results will follow if the
eggs are not used for Matching purposes
until about two weeks after the matings
have been made
BY making your maiings now you will
be in a position to begin your incubation
about the middle of January, or toward
the latter part OF the month, and thus
get out the youngsters early in February, |
which is considered one OF the best times |
for Matching.
Early Matching results in the Youngsters
growing rapidly and developing early |
provided they receive the proper kind Of
treatment and nOurishment 10 insure |
their health nd growth.
Remember then, that now is the &C
,epted time Improve vour opportunities
when they come, ard the one big, impor-
ant opportunity which is now yours Is
o make up the pens from which yOu will
,reed your next seasons birds

How many farmers have a definite
clear idea as to the exact mission OF
fertilizers? Prof. Van Slyke, Of the
New York Experiment Station defines
fertilizer as being an substance
which. added to the soil. will, under
favorable conditions, produce a bet
ter growth of crops, whether by di-
rect or indirect action on the crop or
on the properties Of the soil. Or
A. D. Hall, late director Of the fam
Gus English experiment station at
Rothamsted, says that fertilizers are
designed to supply deficiencies in the
soil, and for all practical purposes
are to be regarded as consisting OF
compounds Of nitrogen. phosphoric
acid and potash.
Fertilizers are a mighty help in the
hands of the well-informed farmer.
They are not all powerful-they can
not take the place Of hard work-of
well prepared seed bed-of we'll
drained soil-of good seed, nor Of
sweet reaction in the soil. The far
mer should look upon his fertilizers in
the same light as he looks upon his
valuable machinery and valuable
horses or other livestock. They ne
cessitHte an expenditure OF money,
the same as the materials Just men
toned. But If conditions are made
right and fertilizers are used widely,
experience has proven beyond doubt
that they return a large profit.
