Mr. Editor:
I have been asked by some of
those interested in jKiultry, what
kind of chickens are the silver laced
wyandottes, and why I breed them.
First, I will try to explain tlieir
color, nature and habits. Thev
are classed in the American breed
and are rated very high as a general
purpose fowl. At the very first
they sprang into public favor, aud
have continued so until the present
time among poultry fanciers. It is
said that they caroe originally from
a cross between the Dark Braira.
Silver sprangled Hamburg and the
Dreda, a French fowl. Some en
thusiasts say that they have Cochin
blood in them, from the fact that
their ancestors sometimespr duced
single combs and feathered legs
The Silver-laced Wyandotte has a
silvery white plumage with a regu
lar marked black lacing on the
breast, and a generous distribution
of white and black throughout the
entire body. cock has a sil
ver white head, rose comb, silver
hackle with a black s'ripe down the
center of each feather; silvery white
back, saddle same as hackle, breast
feathers black with large white
centers, tail black, wings half black;
when the wing i§ folded there
should be a well defined band across
it—shauks and toes rich*vellow,
free from feathering. The hen
wwy much resembles the male in
excepting the back and wihgs
which are whiter in the wale.
The lacing should be distinct,
and the white renters of each feath
er free from black or brown pencil
ings. There are eight varieties of
the Wyandotte breed, namely: Sil
ver-flaced, Golden, White, Buff,
Black, Partridge, S lvcr penciled
and the Columbian. It is a matter
of fancy as to which is the best, as
t»e general characteristics are the
same l« all the difference in the
color of plumage, being the only
distinguishing mark.
I am a Silver-laced enthusiast,
but why, may not be so easily ex
plained to the fancier of pther
breeds. I have a second choice
among the general purpose fowlsto
wit; the Barred Plymouth Rock.
The Wyandotte breeders make the
broad claim that it is the best all
around of any fowl in the world.
J eerily believe it, and the claim
will beat" me out from the stand
point of beauty and utility. The
annual egg production is larger
than from any other medium chick
en I know The chicks grow
quickly into tToilers,and t resse asily
and handsomely for the tab'e They
are gentle iu disposition,
four teet enclosure being sufficient
to keep them confined, still they
are hustlers for a living if allowed
range. They are good sitters
'bnt not stubborn about it; are good
mothers, very caretul and attent
ive to thtir little chicks. As layers
they are among the best averaging
about 14 dozen per year. As win
ter layers, they do well under ordi
nary circumstances. Their consti
tution is hardy, and they can be
easily raised. They have one fault,
although that is only a small one
it is the lack of uniformity in the
color ot the eggs. The ideal color
is a light tint of brown, and the
breeders are doing their "dog-gone
dest" to make it uniform. In time
it will be firmly established, but
the time is not yet.

Dear Sir:—l have derived such gr*at

S vamp-Root, that I believe it to lie most
important for t l ie public to know its |
worth. For the past ten years I have ;
been the most miserable of men. Did
not know wha|t the trouble was hut had
to urinate very frequently both day and j
night; was all puffed up generally. Could
not sleep more than a couple of hours at j
a time, was greatly distressed after eating
a meal and was about worn out. .1 had
tried nearly everything I could see ad
vertised and hear of, without helping me
to f uy great extent, until finally in Octo
ber last at Ripan, Wis., 1 purchased aone
dollar bottle of Swamp-Root and coin
' menced taking it according to directions
I ami I followed that with another bottle
and experienced such great relief aud 1
livery mail brings many unsolicited testimonial from people all over the
MVVx"""' Vj United States and foreign lands, expressing heartfelt gratitude for what
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root has done for them.

Swamp-Root is not recommended for everything, bat if you have kidney liver or bladder trouble or obliged to go often
during the day and get up many time* during the night, have smarting or irritation in passing or heat disturbance due to
kidney trouble, Swamp-Root will be found just the remedy you need.
Don't be MUled—For example, when you ask for l)r. Kilmer's Swanip-Root, the Great Kidney-, Liver and Bladder
Remedy, don't al'ow any druggist, drug clerk or store keeper to pe-suade yov. into buying something else "hrit*

are humbugged at the expense of your health.

til my back. I ut-ed medicine from
my family physician for several
months without any l>enillt. A
friend, Mr. J. I). Nelson, advised
me to try Swamp-Root, but I had
no faith in it. I continued to grow
worse ifnd at last decided to try this
remedy and bought of Long Bros,
a fifty-cent bottle which gave me
( great Relief. I then bought two
one - doUar bottles, which I can
truthfully have completely
cured me. \
Had it not V cn f° r Swamp-Root,
I would have Ybeen comj elled to

relieved me when
completely helpless.
'THE las-t time I was traveling in
Texas, when my kidneys become
affected, and for ten days 1 suffered
excruciating, pains, accompanied
with severe chills Several years
previous, having been relieved of a
similar attack, I naturally sought
relief as before from Swamp Root.
After using four of the large size
bottle#, I was.completely restored
and went on my way rejoicing and
praising Swamp-Root. This .was
three years ago and 1 have, had 110
