Poultry Points.

Hens that lay white eggs as class lay
as many as those that lay eggs of other
colors within the year. bat not as many
in the late fall and winter months, with
out special care, and IN cold weather
eggs always bring higher prices and
then the profits are much greater.
Most white skinned fowls lay white
shelled eggs.
1t is good plan to feed little oil

There are no two breeds that have 30
firm hold on the breeders Of America

Those who keep fowls for profit and
those who are compelled to satisfy their
tastes inside the most practical breeds
invariably keep the Brahna or Ply
mouth Rock; the demand will naturally
be greater for these two breeds.
The broiler industry, the rearing Of
roasters and capons and the egg farm

has really begun to be felt, the breeders
of special purpose fowls will not want
for orders. The demand for India Games,

Buckwheat in tho Orchard.

Two or three growths of buckwheat
can be grown in the apple orchard in a
single season, says Field and Farm, pro-
vided they are plowed under without
ripening seed. AS the seed is not expen-
sive, this may be better for the land than
to raise only one crop and let it go to
seed. There is not great deal of plant
food In buckwheat, therefore it does not
rob the soil. Plowed under, backwheat
loosens the soil as few other crops do,
and this on heavy land is often very inn
portant for apple and pear trees. The
looser the soil the more water it will
hold without hardening the surface,
consequently buckwheat helps to pre-
vent drouQht

The fashion of substituting small tables
for the ordinary large dining table bids fair
to be popular one in England, at any rate
in country houses, where space is less of a
consideration than it necessarily is in town.
At Sandringham, during a recent "house
party" the dinner was served in this way,
several round tables being used instead of
the one long one, with marked increase,
it is said, in the general conversation BY
all accounts this is not the first time this
arrangement has been adopted in the Prince
Of Wales household-a fact that will give
the custom q prestige on this side the
