klanShn anxious breeder has been
mos, ". Eully disappointed in the devel.
op,nenN of his chickens; the result
of injuG .cious matings; they lack in size
and constitutional vigor; being slow in
growth and maturing.
Entirely too much Importance is at
tached to the breeding for fancy colors,
fine combs, ear-lobes, etc. to the detri.
ment of size, form and general make
up, especially in the larger breeds.
where size has much to do with the
value o,f the fowl. Many long-legged,
ill-shaped cock is used in the breeding
yard. wholly because he is fine in color
and markings. Thus utterly ignoring
the NJ .er qualifications of size and
form. What we need most in fowl,
is good stout understanding, rather
heavy than otherwise; good well-shap-
ed body, and good carriage. These
points, with good, even color, would
constitute q bird worth having; and ii
he w1s of an established strain the re-
Too Earch Importance can not be at
tachsA to these points. What would
you think of stockman that would go
all OH color, and not pay any attention
to thW size and general stamina of the
animal? The facts are, he would soon
run thema hto a lot of scrubs. just so
it is" with. the breeding of thorough
bre@ POETRY; size, form and stamina
Shout be the objective points. Do not
undzNkstand me as advocating line OF
bre4ling in opposition to fine color, ETC.,
fol4Eeh is far from my intentions. l
woth say, give us a line of breeding
poi4ing to the developments OF all the
n bEr qualities OF the fowl, in flesh and
form, together with the best possible
attainments in color, consistent with
them. Sacrificing a point in color or
comb, rather than d point in size and
form. For as the breeding of farm and
commercial poultry is the stimulus and
actual foundation of all fancy poultry
breeding, it should be the aim OF every
intelligent breeder of high class poul-
try, to breed conducive to the interests
of the farmer and the market poulterer,
thus eliciting trade from them that
will make fancy poultry take regular
boom; resulting in ultimate good to all
concerned. Not only is it essential to
keep our fowls well established in size
and form, to. make them more valuable
in marketable point of view, but how
essential to the health of our hocks. To
select for our breeding birds those Of Inc
most growth, largest and best devei-
oped bodies, which indicates good con-
stitution. And, might say right here
that but faw breeders seem to realize the
value of old birds as breeders, over
those immature in many ways.-1. a'

LITTLE Rock, Ark, July TO-
Three OF the Crittenden county shining
lights, politically speaking, reached this
city this morning and presented to the
governor numerously signed petition
praying that he protect them in their POI
litical and property rights. Dave Fergu-
son and J. X. Rocks, clerk and assessor,
respectively of the county. and o. w.
Mitchcm, lawyer at the Crittenden
county bar, all colored, give very one
sided story OF the state OF affairs down in
Crittenden.
Ferguson says he was forced TO resign at
the muzzle OF Winchester rifle, and after
wards escorted TO the train by about fifty
armed men and told 20 "skeedaddle" and
never show his head in Crittcnden county
again. lie SAYS his resignation was al
ready written out and was presented TO
him by the armed men and he was forced
to copy and sign the same.
Brooks says he lives fifteen miles from
Marion at Edmundson and was forced TO
fly from the county, leaving his present
assessment about half complete and his
books and papers scattered in his Office.
County Judge Lewis, also colored, is So
journing in Memphis. Mitchem was also
given directions 10 depart for other climes
without the benefit OF return pass.
As n matter OF course they disclaim all
responsibility for any Of the troubles
ant say that the whites were to
blame. In the meantime Gov. Hughes has
received letters from responsible parties
with decidedly contrary information. The
