AMERICAN sk.aDs " POULTRY.
a Brief Description of the Dominiques,

a Brief Description of the DoulIniques,
Plymouth Rocks aud wysndottes.
The popularity Of the American breeds
is such az to justify more than passing
notice. These are emphatieally general
purpose fowls, aud are particularly priced
by those who keep poultry in a small
way for home consumption. The An1ert-
can Dominiques arc an old fashioned
breed and less talked about than either
the Plymouth Rocks or Wyandottes. 1t
remains a fact, however. that they are
all among the best, hardest and comeli-
est OF fowls. They are good layers and
good mothers They are also fair table
fowls.
The Plymouth Rocks are too well
known to require lengthy description,
For general purposes there is perhaps no
better fowl They are hardy, and con-
soquently easily reared. They are good
LAYERS. settlers and mothers. In a word
the Plymouth Rock is emphatically the
average farmers bird. 1t is attractive
also to amateurs. Favorable accidents
in bt'eeding have been taken advantage
Of by breeders and thus "strai' have
been originated. We have now three
varieties of the plymouth. Rock breed,
which are recognized in the American
standard Of perfection. VIZ, barred, pea
comb barred and white.
The Wyandottes, which We're first
known as American Seabrights, are
probably cross Of the Brahma and
Hamburg. although breeders differ as to
their origin The Wyandotte is good
variety for forcing carly being plump
and of attractive appearance in the mar
ket. The flesh is of fine flavor. The
Wyandottos are good settlers and moth
ers. They produce medium sized eggs
of somewhat dark color. Recognized
varieties of the Wyandotte are silver,
golden and white.
Less well known than the above are
the American Javaa, with large sized,
long bodies and deep, full breasts--a use

Root Grafts and Whole Roots.

Professor Budd says on this most vexed
question: "A duchess or any other abso-
lutely hardy variety will make a good
tree if grown from cutting, and when
grated on short piece Of root it prac-
tically is outing, as the piece of root
only starts it, and roots are thrown out
always from the Dion. Fully 90 per
cent of our 8-year-old apple, pear. cherry
and plum trees are on their own roots if
they have been grated with long cion
on a short root and set deeply. Yet the
crown graft is the best, and nursery
men could afford TO make only one tree
from one Seeding. But the whole root
idea is nonsense, AS it would have to be
set with a crowbar IL put down deep
enough to cause it to emit roots from the
cion, as all our trees should do"

The banana is not injured in texture or
favor by freezing, and a, it retains its del
icacy so well can be used in various creams
and custards. The flavor of the banana
also blends nicely with other fruits Fine
ripe bananas, cut in disks and covered with
grated cocoanut, with a dash Of nutmeg,
are delicious. They arc very good when
sliced with sweet oranges and spread upon
any delicate cake, with a nice custard
poured over the whole. In the West Indies
bananas, before they become fully ripe and
nre still firm. are cut in lcngthwise slices
and fried to a delicate brown in butter.
Quite rich dish consists of sliced bananas
served with a heavy strawberry strip,
while sliced bananas with sugar and cream
represent a popular and delightful mode
of using bananas for the table.

The excellence of the butter made
from the fragrant pastures can only be
preserved for any length of time by the
best methods Of churning and sailing.
Butter that otherwise might be clsssed
rs good is often reduced to an inferior
grade by tho manner in which it is
treated at the time of sailing. A great
dead Of butter is overchurned, by which
it is pounded into creamy, pasty con
dition, exactly the opposite of what it
should be. To get tho best results FROM
sailing butter the churning should stop
when it has fairly granulatsd. AT this
stage the butternilk should be drawn
off and the butter washed with cold
water or cold, weak brine, until it runs
off clear Then strong, clear brine may
be poured on, to remain until the butter
has absorbed enough of tho salt or fine
dry salt--one ounce TO the pound
should he sifted on and worked III so
that it will dissolve. After this light
second working should be given to clear
it of any buttermilk that may be drawn
out by the sailing. Throughout the en-
tire process the utmost care should be
taken not 10 break the grain Of the
butter.

that gray horses are the longest lived

SENATOR DAVIS ON THE TARIFF.

He Makes n Long Speech Favoring Re-
fiprseity.
WASHINGTON, August Ex-senator
Davis addressed the senate today. He
spoke of the general impression that the
country was entering on an era of unex-
ampled material prosperity and said that
the renewal of prosperity WAS the result
of the wise legislation enacted (silver
billy and to he enacted (tariff bill. The
latter was in its general aspect wisely de-
yised, and he should criticize it, not in its
entirety, but In hope of modification of
some of its items. He thought it should
oe amended in the direction of recipro-
city, so as to SECURE to American farmers
trade with foreign nations, especially with
South America, Central America, Mexico
and the West India islands. But there
was one item in the bill Of extraordinary
importance to the people of Minnesota.
That was the item of binding twine. In
his opiniop tAat article should go on the
free list aud should be subject to no duty
or tax whatever. The matter affected the
farmers of every state in the union. 1t
affected the people of Minnesota to the
amount of nearly q million dollars year
", The entire business, Including the
sources from which the commodity wae
supplied, WAS governed by a combination
of ali, or nearly all the makers Of cordage

controlled absolutely the raw material,
sisal, jute, etcr in places whore II was

lection. They were amply able TO pro-
teat themselves and TO spoliate the world.
They were amendable to the law against
trusts and certainly the senate should not
legislate in favor of men under the ban
of outlawry. There wa no reason why
such a preadamite infant Of protection
should be fostered any longer at the ma
tion's breast. Passing from this special
subject Davis addressed himself to the
"desllabjli.y Of unrestricted commercial
relations with our sister re publics to the
south" He would, he said, retain the
duty on sugar as an instrument of o e G.
i've persuasion, to the enlargement of
American foreign trade, by renting
that duty as II consideration therefor. He
would impose a duty OF coffee to the
same end. As to wool he would give the
American farmer the fullest protection
on all kinds of wool that he raised, hut
If it was found that the American fnrmer
could not, or would not, produce the
coarse woods of the Argentine Republic,
he would retain the duty on coarse woods
as a basis for reciprocity.
