Send for booklet that contains rates, specimen ads. a few more unsolicited letters and partial list of advertisers. -> Breeding For Buff The color of plumage in one buff breed should be identical with all other buff breeds, viz: A clear solid buff throughout. By this wc mean a buff free from any mealy appearance on the outside of the wings or any peppering of black in the tail or wings, or splotches of white in wings or at root of tail. Then again we find specimens that are solid in color in each section of the shade, one dark part and another lighter and another still lighter, and so bn. A specimen with that kind of a make-up in color is more objectionable than the one with the different sections of the same shade, but perhaps peppered a little in the wings and tail with black. M hile the Standard says that vMiite or black are objectionable, yet for the, breeder’s use a lit tle black can be tolerated much better than the white. It is a pretty hard matter to so describe buff as to make it of advantage to one who has not seen the true buff. Webster describes it as a light yellow. One thing sure, you want to avoid any appearance of a reddish hue. It is a little easier to get the true shade of buff with the Orping- tons than with any other breeds on account of its white skin. The red pigment is not apparent, as in the breeds with the rich yellow legs and skin in which the red is so commonly seen down the outer sides of the legs as is the Wyan dottes, Rocks and Cochins. These little points, while slight and un noticed by many, have their bearing upon plumage color. Take, for example, a Buff Rock cockerel with reddish legs. In nine cases out of ten rhe red will show up in the plumage. In other words, if you want to establish a strain of Buff Rocks, Wyandottes or Coch ins, look well to the color of the legs and strive to keep them as pure yellow as possible free from reddish tinge. It Is Important also to train your eye so as to be able to detect the little de fects which the experienced eye so readily sees. One of these is the slight mottled appearance upon the surface of an apparently good colored bird. It is when the surface color fails to run perfectly solid, but is broken by minute specks of a lighter shade.

DARROW WILL BE OWN ATTORNEY NEXT TIME LOS ANGELES. CAL.. Nov. 16—The second trial of Clarence Darrow, the Chicago attorney, on a charge of jury bribing growing out of the McNamara dynamite case, In which he was chief counsel for the defense, is scheduled for November 25. From present indica tions a second continuance will be granted. Darrow says that in case the charge comes to trial he himself would do much of the active court room work, and possibly select the jury to try the case DR. WHITE'S FATHER DEAD. Dr. John E. White was called to Franklinton. N. C., Wednesday night on account of the death of his father, Rev. J. M. White, but expects to return to the city this evening. Dr. White will conduct both services at the Second Baptist church Sunday. SINGING AT TABERNACLE. There will be an old-time Sacred Harp singing by a choir of 50 persons at the Woodward Avenue Baptist Tab ernacle tomorrow afternoon at 2 o’clock. The singing will be led by B. L. Stan ley. THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS F.JMTvrsSHA.b-c times the feathers of the neck and back seem to have a very delicate lacing around, each feather, of a more glossy or metallic character, breaking the del icate, smooth appearance which the expert so much admires. This lacing is. of course, so near the color of the rest of the feather that It is unnoticed by one whose eye is not trained to look for such defects. I These are the points upon which the amateur needs to train his eye, that he may be able to detect the defects when they are present. In exhibiting the buff breeds at the fall and winter shows It Is essential in order to make them look their best to go over them carefully and remove all the stray dead feathers, we mean the old feathers which they failed to moult at the proper time. When scattered through a bright new plumage they make It look uneven and nasty. And it Is this little grooming which makes the birds of the experienced breeder look so nice In the show room. It takes care and patience as well as experience to put fowls into the exhibition pens at their best. When a pullet or hen has been laying for a considerable time her plumage is not as bright and fine as it Is when just approaching the laying period for the fall and winter season. M. S. Turner, superintendent of the show, was complimented on his work of having the birds displayed so nicely, Mr. Turner was also winner of a few prizes in the Barred Rock and White Rock line as follows; Fourth cockerel mating pen, Barred Rocks; second pen, third and fourth hen in White Rocks. H. G. Carson, of the Superior Poul try Farm, Brooks, had a display of White Leghorns, White Orpingtons and White Indian Runner ducks. On Whitt Leghorns he won first and third cock erels; first, second and third pulleta In the White Orpington line he won third and fourth pullets; third cockerel. On White Indian Runner ducks he won premiums on first and second pair. Mr. and Mrs. F. F. Rowe, of Thom aston, took their share of premiums in the YVhite Orpington class, capturing premiums for best pen in show; also first and second cockerels; first and second pullets; first hen. T. H. Wynne, Griffin, won as follows: On White Indian Runner ducks he won first, second, third and fourth WTiite Indian Runner drakes; first White In dian Runner cock; first pen; first and second White Indian Runner pullet, and third and fourth YVhite Indian Runner pair. On Fawn and White Indian Run ner ducks he won first and second pair. In S. C. Rhode Island Reds he won first cockerel, second pen and fourth hen.

As so many have different methods of doing business in the poultry world, I have thought that it might be a good idea jo call attention to some of the items that Influence success in the fan cier's business. It is an old saying, that "he who by his biz would thrive, must either bust or advertise.” However, it is not all to simply advertise in the papers unless we pay some attention to the inquiries through, the advertise ments that we place in the papers. We must not blame the publishers If we leave our part undone. For instance, here Is a party that receives several in quiries in regard to the price of eggs off stock and it is our duty to answer im mediately, even though no stamp is sent for reply, but in too many cases the answer is not sent and all on ac count of the absence,of the stamp. All inquiries will not result in a sale to each inquirer, but it might do so and in the business world it is not customary to send stamps for reply unless ques tions are for personal benefit. If a person writes to you asking ques tions about matters that do not refer to business, then he should Inclose a stamp for reply. In my own writing I always inclose a stamped 1 envelope for a reply, and I generally receive a reply, al though in some cases I do not. Again, it is businesslike to answer as soon as you receive the inquiry, as it is in many cases the cause, of a sale where, if not answered Immediately, the sale is lost. I have known many sales lost on ac count of tardiness in answering inquir ies. In shipping chickens It fs well to remember that express companies charge quite high for birds, and please do not ship an eight-pound bird in a sixteen-pound box, as it has a tendency to make the purchaser think that your business methods are not of the best. You should have some respect for the buyer’s finances as well as your own. There seems to be so many persons in the poultry business who are Inclined to be slack in their methods and It will not .pay In the long run, as many have found to their sorrow. Last, but not least, I would say, be honest in all of your transactions, do not sell eggs that are not from your own hens unless you so state It, and do not buy any old thing of some one else and ship It as your own. I could give some facts that have come under my personal observa tion that are disgraceful and yet there are many who make a dollar or two of more importance than a good reputa tion.
