Precocious Crowing 
I wish to chronicle what, to me, seems 
an unusual event in the poultry yard. 
One of my Brown Leghorn chicks, a 
cockerel of just eight weeks, has taken to 
crowing. This bird mounts to the roof of 
a shed, assumes a bossy attitude, and, 
straining every fiber in his make-up. emits 
a miniature crow, in tone not at all un¬ 
like that of a mature fowl. I have brought 
this to the attention of friends who have 
had Quite some experience with poultry 
and they simply refuse to believe it. Will 
you tell me if this behavior on the part of 
eight-weeks’ old cockerel is truly uncom¬ 
mon? The bird is husky for his age. 
weighting more than one pound, and his 
comb, which is bright red, stands up for 
more than one inch. H. H. w. 
Rockville Centre, N. Y. 
This bird is truly precocious, but not 
more so, I think, than many of his kind. 
1 do not know at just how early an age 
cockerels have been known to crow, but 
those of the Leghorn variety, at least, de¬ 
velop voices at an early age and are fre¬ 
quently heard giving a squeaky imitation 
of the barnyard cock’s early morning call 
long before their owners suspect that they 
“grow up so fast.” m. b. d. 
Corn Harvest Satisfaction 
T O harvest corn with a corn knife 
means many men and much hard 
work and expense. Farmers of experience 
know the satisfaction of using a good corn 
binder. McCormick and Deering corn 
binders are built for such farmers. 
Simple in construction, light in weight 
and compact, two horses will easily handle 
one of these binders in most conditions of 
corn, while a tractor or three horses give 
power enough to harvest 5 to 7 acres of 
corn a day, bind the corn into neat, easily 
handled bundles, and load them on a 
wagon to be taken to the ensilage cutter 
or husker and shredder. 
McCormick or Deering Corn Binders 
fortify farmers against danger of the loss 
of a part of the corn crop. A farmer need 
not worry about securing extra help, or paying 
high wages. He can be sure of having his corn 
safely harvested within the limited time in which 
the work must be done to get the full feeding 
value from the fodder or stover.

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 
1 responsibility assumed in case of dissatisfaction
