' Sometime after taking up the 13a

two years, adding to them the Whitt:

White Wyandottes„ as best adapted
to my purposes, I kept some Golden
Wyandottes aid some White Minor-
cas. It was the fine laying of the
Golden Wyandottes that led' me to
take up the white variety.
I had started keeping Wli:te Wyan-
dottes- during the year of the Pan-
American Exposit:oti, 19o1. At the

And among the. winners were some

perhaps no one observed and studied
these White Wyandottes any more
closely than I did. Lookaxg back on
that . occasion, I can see wherein on
was the most momentous one , in my
career as a poultry, fancier; for it,was
there and then that ,i~decided to make
this breed my sole specialty. With
in two years the results were so gra-
tifying that the keeping of White
Wyandottes became my main occupa-
tion.
Shortly before this decision I had
quit high-school teaching and 'was in
the piano business with my two bro-
thers. The White . Wyandottes took
rule ahead so fast that I sold out my
interests in the piano business to de-
vote all of my time to poultry and
into a new one, and I called it the

to this lie gave : wonderful fertility,

was my Dorcas line develope=d.
I demand of til'e females in my Dor-

third, exhibition qualities. Tile ;'rale

You know of my winnings at the'
New York State Fair over the past
seventeen years, where I have swept
everything year after year. This is
the greatest of all the early Ameri-
can. shows, and is famous for having.
the finest exhibition poultry building
in the 'United States, The exhibits
are large and competition very keen
To win at this show you must get
your chicks out in January and Feb-
ruary. It is a great test of vigor
stamina, and winter egg production,
You willanotice from my catalogues
that ray motto has always been "A
square deal to everyone", because 1
do not want a ..single dollar of any
man's money without giving hirci. fel
value in return.. I make my catal-
ogue of a practical, helpful ` nature,
and in thein give away all my secrets
how to breed, feed, and condition, and
how to exhibit.
Years ago.I established the policy
of keeping my winners at the big' ex
hibitions, making up . a :goodlyonuni
bei .of pens and selling eggs from all
these pens. One of my customers by
purchasing a setting of eggs hatched
the first prize cock at ;Madison Square
Garden, a bird worth at least $boo.
I have found that this po:ficy has
increased my business from year to
year, and my customers, knowing _rrat•
I gave them a square deal, conA back
year after year whenever they naed
new blood.
Thus have I built a profitable busies
ness out of the thing It have always
liked best to do.
PRINCIPAL GANDIER'S LONG
LETTER
As an Old Huron Boy and a Sum-
mer Resident of Bruce, I am natur-
ally interested in the arguments giv-
en by the Principal of Knox. College
to carry the churches of these two
counties in to -Union.. I cannot horse
for one tenth of the space hence shall
give the briefest statements.
r. "Church Union is settled ac-
cording to the constitution"' is his
first point, Yes, but in an arbitrary
way. .Judge Leet, Montreal, in a let-
ter to the Daily Star of that city, says
"I am the more opposed to it since
1 see the autocratic way in which the
ecclesiastical authorities are, trying to
force etc." He represented the Con-
gregational Church in the joint Un-
ion Committee and seconded the reso-
lution adopting the Basis.
2. "We gave the congregations the
liberty of voting" as to their desire to
go in or not. What he should have
said is, "We gave you the privilege of.
voting yourself out but not necessari-
ly by ballot . or during a longer poll
than one,day. In the Illouse of Com-
mons. at Ottawa, 61 Unionists voted
dead' against the ballot to 2x anti -un-
ion members 'who wanted it for the
people. In the Senate after a treme.n-
dons fight the ballot was granted
without a division, 'The -people have
never had a ballot on this important
question since x915 and the IJnioiii.sts
had no intention of having a secret
ballot now.
3, The "vision of unity which the
Westminster divines' had." Yes, and
they tried it it'Scotland. But ‘no pa-
pal idea of Christian unity succeeds
anywhere.. The glory of Scotland has
been that men for spiritualliberty
have formed great denominations.
And in that grand old country thce
are living churches under :the name
Scottish Episcopal, Baptist and Con-
gregational who are just as near to
the Heart of Christ as the more large-
ly organized 'Presbyterian Churches.
