American standard Of perfection, as
adopted by the American Poultry asso-.
citation, the varieties, white, silver gray
and colored Dorkings, constitute the En-

the fair sex for Dorkings is accounted for
not only by the beauty Of all tho vafie-
ties, but even more by their unrivaledI
qualities as table birds. The meat Is not
only abundant, producing in large guam
titles inthe choicest parts, but its quality
is not surpassed by any other English
breed, game excepted. In NO breeds are

in judging the merits of penn
Briefly summarized, then, the merits
of the Dorkings are their beauty, their
unrivaled excellence as table birds, the
ease with which they can be prepared
for market, their docility, the suitabil-

being exemplary sitters and mothers,

profitable In restricted quarters; neither

The Senate of North Dakota has passed

action would seem to have been more improba
BILE than North Dakota. The people are gener-
ally intelligent and moral, and SO alive were
they to the dangers of corrupting influences
that they put in their constitution a proyi
sion prohibiting the manufacture or sale of
intoxicating liquors. Such a people, and
their representatives, should, 1t W ould seem,
have been equally alive to the dangers of
Dtteries. 1t may be that the Senate has
misTepresented them, and that the penple will
express in such vigorous tones their ndigna-
ton that the House will promptly extinguish
