Poultry culture, no longer bughouse, has Its university pedagogues, special ists on quacks, crowers, geese, gob blers, pigeons, pheasants; its specialty breeders, specialty Judges, fanciers, utilitarians, fancy flesh factories, egg experts, expert pickers, expert capons izers, expert poultry physicians and even expert fakirs. Poultry husbandry Is so broad, thero are so many breeds and varieties, de partments and problems and develop ments, that specialization Is necessary to full success. Take the breeds.

I3ARNITZ. MR AND EXERCISE FOR PIGEONS. Did you ever see granddad tote a drug store to tho burn and dope his pigeons? Courao not. Why? Just because so many fellows' pigeons to day aro so different. They get (Its and canker nnd roup nnd pox and wing dls easo and liver disease and diarrhea, Photo by a M. Barnltz. TAKraa AN AiniKO. and there aro pigeon physicians and quarantine, etc. Why. some lofts are like a hospital and a college drug store. But granddad's birds circled through zero air and didn't care. They were tough as nails, never got sick, you nev er found a dead one and they raised One squabs too. rigeons today are mollycoddled too much. They are packed Into small lofts and flies, are fed too much patent food and get too little air and exercise. Our advice is make loft and lly roomy, have plenty of air without drafts, keep loft and fly clear of tilth and vermin and use a simple, rational ration. To induce exercise feed outside when weather permits and make birds lly to the far corner of fly for nest materinl. FEATHER8 AND EGGSHELLS. As is usual, tho female among quacks does tho most talking. Khu quack-quack-quacks, hut tho male Just epcaks In a subdued whisper. How human I When wild geese In large flocks flow over Pennsylvania In May the goose wing prophets nroso to remark that It was a sign of a cool summer. It was In Iceland. Tho plumago often reflects tho con dition of fowls except In molt. Luh terless surfaco often comes with old age, but is Indication of low vitality in young birds. Itough plumage is a Blgn of dlseaso or lice. Indian Runner ducks seem to have all tho other quacks licked to a fraz zlo on eggs. Many go above 200 a year and keep this up for tlireo years, when they cut down tho product. White duck eggs command the high est price. Ono hundred thousand ducklings wrro batched at a single duck plant at Speonk, N. Y tho past season, and the owner did not have enough to (111 all orders. This Is tho greatest quack plant in tho world, medical colleges excepted. A Krjjsas City man could not under stand why a neighbor's ducks always waddled straight for his lawn. ITo later found they wero nfter the dande lion, which they soon destroyed. Ducks und gceso make short work of many wood pests. Tho controversy as to whether drawn or undrawn poultry decom poses tho faster was settled recently In a six months' test by tho United States department of agriculture. Full drawn, with head, feet nnd vis cera removed, decomposed most rap idly. A chicken hawk at TIonest. Pn., pounced on a wcnsel and bore It nloft and high In tho air. They fought n duel, tho llttlo wiry weasel dually bringing tho great bird to tho ground, fvbero a boy dispatched both. Hltico bounties wero removed from theno pests they havo much Increased in Pennsylvania. Ireland's progress In poultry culturo reads llko a fairy tale.
