Eliminating the Drones 
AVe all agree that in a flock of hens 
the drones ought to be weeded out, but 
most of us cannot tell one from anothei*. 
AVhy not have a man qualified for that 
work and appointed by the State to do 
thisV If you thought it worth while I 
should like to have it discussed in The 
K. N.-Y. P.G.B. 
.Massachusetts. 
Tt is worth while—one of the most im¬ 
portant things in the poultry busiuess. 
Ill many States the experiment station or 
college will send an expert into a neigh- 
hoi-hood to give demonstrations and show 
how the selection is made. While not a 
sure test for drones, expert selection will 
help. The Government would do better 
if its agents would select the drone hens 
in a flock and let them be sold at once. 
A good way 
to raise more chicks. Feed:—

SPECIAL NOTICE 
Those purchasing eggs for hatching and baby 
chicks must understand that they are assuming 
some risk when ordering from a distance. For the 
most part eggs and chicks carry safely, but some¬ 
times rough handling by the express companies 
or exposure to heat and cold causes damage. 
That eggs fail to hatch or chicks die is not con¬ 
clusive evidence of bad faith on the part of the 
seller, and we shall not consider claims on that 
basis. To avoid controversy buyer and seller 
should have a definite understanding as to the 
responsibility assumed in case of dissatisfaction.
