Leg FeatheriDg On Asiatlcs.

Much has been written about leg
fea,hering on Asiatics, some writers
claiming it as very Objectionable, 9TH
ers wishing to alter the Standard and
do away with it altogether. l, as an
admirer of Asiatics in general, and a
breeder of Light Brahmas in particular
have failed find to any Of the social
ed objections ; but On the contrary, |
claim that leg featheringis both useful
and beautiful. That it is useful, have
demonstrated to my own satisfaction
time after time.
In raising birds for market, l find
that can generally get better prices
for Light Brahmas than for other
breeds Now when the birds are
blessed how could I prove them to be
brahmas if not by their leg feathers! l
have spoken to several poultry dealers
who supply the Boston market, and
they tell me that a ready sale is always
found for Light Brahmas. They would
not have the birds without leg feather
ing, for the same reason as stated
above, and do not find that the'feathers
spoil their looks or are in any way detri-
mental to the birds when dressed. In
| winter when other fowls get their toes
frozen. Asiatics are all right, as their
toe feathers protect their toes and keep
them warm.
A great deal of the popularity OF
Asiatics has been solely due to their
leg feathering. Strangers to fowls,
upon entering yard where several
varieties are kept, are invaribly attrac-
ted by the fine appearance OF the Ash
atics, and generally make some re-
mark complimentary to their leg feath-
ering. l have seen Asiatics with clean
legs, but l did not like them at ALL
Their legs seemed too slender for their
large bodies and looked out of place
altogether. l am not prejudiced
agalst clean legged fowls, but l would
just as soon see the clean legs feather
ed, as see the teathered ones clean,
and l think one would look Just as
good as the other.
Let everything be in its place, and
that leg feathers are at home on Asiat-
les, every one will admit in fact, ]
cannot see any sense or reason in the
suggestion to deprive Asiatics Of
that characteristic of the race.--theil
leg gatherings. LEO HEILBoRN.

The "Strain."

Amateurs may be puzzled to know
what peculiar advantage may attach
to this term that advertisers should
mention the strain.
This term is new. comparatively In
poultry literature, but expresses the
tact that a number OF individuals of a
certain variety have been specially
bred and selected to bring out uni.
formity in special fine points.
Practical breeders, who have been
working on this system, can readily
select their own birds from a mixed
flock at a glance. The term means
really an Unborn tie dency, and the
pursuit of this for a course of years
brings out certain peculiaritles with
great uniformity.
The Cochins, Hamburgs. Spanish
and other breeds are Of the same

Five Good Rules.

ATTEND to your fowls yourself"
There Is nothing better than personal
attention. Hired help cannot be re-
he'd upon. Often one cad only hire
muscle. Brains are seldom in the
market. The owner offowls generally
understand their needs and supplies
them. If this Is intelllgently done
profit is assured.
Study to understand the needs OF
your fowls" Much study may be a
WEAKNESS to the flesh, but no other
method of learning has yet been dis
covered. Fowls have many needs
and all must be supplied if they are to
do their best. Study of fowls is there
fore requisite to success.
'Haye things convenient" Time
is money. If you waste time by in
convenient arrangements, you waste
money. Convenient houses, conven-
lent appliances for feeding and water
ing, are demanded to insure profit
By having everything convenient per-
son can take care of many more fowls
in the same length of time than if
everything is unhandY. If a fowl yields
aprofit of one dollar a year and by
convenient arrangements person can
care for five hundred fowls, he can
secure FIVE hundred dollars as his
compensation; if his arrangements are
such that he can care for but half that
number his profits are reduced to two
hundred and fifty dollars.
''Do business in business hours and
by business methods" This means
attending to everything when it re.
quires attention, practicing economy
of time and money, and keeping a
strict account of receipts and disburse
ments. 1t pays to do this, in this,
is about the only way in which business
can be carried on successfully. 1t
stops leaks, because it renders their
discovery possible. A leak may be a
very little thing but it has carried
away many fine dam and brought
destruction and death to many per-
sons. There are innumerable occasions
for leaks in the care and keeping OF
poultry, and want of attention to
them is the surest explanation OF many
failures in the business.
Honesty is the only policy" 1t is
misleading to say Honesty is the
best policy" as that assumes that there
can be other successful policies. This
is not so. "What comes over the
Devils back must go under the Devils
belly' is as true in keeping poultry as
in anything else. No permanent sue.

wicked spreading themselves like
a green bay tree; l looked again and
they were not, States the whole sub.
ject briefly but none the less correctly.
These five rules are good in theory
and excellent In practice. They have
been tested in the experience of many
men and have never been known to
fail Commencing, as they do. them.

are, by experience, what further
recommendation is needed! Try them,
put them TO test. and add your testi.
mony to that of the hundreds who
have found them the lights which
beckoned on to success.

In the poultry-yard.
Quite host of farmers there are
who might make duck raising profta-

for there is as much profit in breeding
dncks for market. as there is in raising
any other kind OF stock.
Butchers waste, such as calves and
lambs plucks, when perfectly fresh

through a sausage machine, thus
making a substitute tor insects, and

let a supply of good clean sand ana
gravel always be accessible to them
The water they drink should be In an
iron vessel, or quantity of rusty nails
should be kept constantly In it. OF
course. the water should be pure and
renewed every day.
By this time 1t is very easy to pick
out those birds which give promise Of
superior excellence, and the sooner it
is done, the better. The culls should
be separated from the main flock, AMI
should be kept growing brlskly, SO
they will attain a fair size and weight
when ready to be killed or marketed
By doing this early, the appearance of
the flock left will be much improved
