Borne of my pigeons have a moat peculiar disease. A cock bird's wing stiff. 1 bred from him, and two of his squabs have a stiff wing. What Is this disease, Its causa and cure? A. The trouble Is called "wing bone" and Is claimed to come from Inbreeding and Improper feeding at time of molt. It Is caukerous In nature, and victims should be killed. Q. Is it true that a Leghorn ben mated to a Cochin male becomes a half Leghorn and half Oocbln and from that time remains the —m* it matters not with what other breeds mated? A. No, That fool notion erploded fifty years ago. To mate an eleven pound cock with a hen half the slie Is, however, a colossal fool stunt Q. Is there any way to make hens set? A. Yes. Pen them in a coop where there Is little room to exercise; feed only whole corn to make them fat and The hotter the coop the better. Q. Which do yon consider the more Important, shape or color? • A. The saying is. "Shape makes the breed, color the variety;" Thus If you dou't have the shape yon haven't the breed. Both shape and color in section are scored, and the result decides the prize. A good shape with bad color and a good color with bad shape are" seldom considered where there Is competition. Q. How can I prevent my pheasants * eating their eggs? How many should a pheasant lay in a season? A. If you will watch, you will discover that the cock birds generally do the trick. In the spring, place a bundle of brush In each corner of your phensantry. leave Just room enough behind for hen. and a hole In the bundle Just large enough for hen to creep through. Buy or make eggs (ground glass) same size, shape and color as pheasant's egg. Always have one in nest, and scatter a few around and let. the birds dull their beaks on them. Always gather eggs closely. Twentyfive to thirty per hen.

H-'ing the name "Antwerp" on Its leg band, the captain Jumped to • the conclusion that It had flown from \ Antwerp, a distance of 3.500 miles. ! The name 'Aniweri)" was the breed j to which the pigeon belonged. ® | The epidemic of month and foot dlsi ease cost the government $500,000 and ' the lives of 3.005 animals. There was , a great cry at the beginning about it " j being a poultry disease. We live right 1 1 where the most cases existed and so ; far have not heard of one hen that | handed In her checks except for feasti Ing the government officials. , We are reading of many postcard ; showers, but It remained for a North 1 Yakima (Wash.) congregation to lnI trodnce the unique In the form of a - 1 "chicken shower."

There I were many generations at the funeral. 1 The past winter a watch was kept on Philadelphia butchers to see that all hogs were dead before scalding. This rule should be applied to poultry plants and private homes, where ' ' chickens are often scalded alt-re. ' A solid train of turkeys, 10,000 In number, was distributed from Hageretown, Md.. during the holidays. Think at tha labors and losses to raise that many! It's a foolish sport that takes a sick bird to a show supposing that the Judge will not find 1L The exposure of transportation and confinement and excitement of the show room are hard enough for vigorous birds to bear.
