count as well as utility, or rather in
preference to utility, all breeds have spe-
cial traits which will endear them to fan
ciers.
Looking at poultry from the stand.
point of market poultryman, the ques
ton assumes an entirely different aspect
Whether eggs or meat are wanted as a
speciality the size of the fowls and the
proportion OF meat to offal must always
be considered, as sooner or later the lay
ing stock must be disposed of on account
of age, and then the advantage of weight
is felt. In this connection correspond
ent of The Fanciers' journal thus sums
mp the matter. He says:
Take Leghorns, for instance--verita-
BILE egg producing machines. They will
certainly prove remunerative for time,
but when it is found necessary to renew
"a yard on account of age 100 Leghorns
will not average over four pounds apiece,
while Minorcas, just as good layers, will
average six pounds, and Light Brahmas
from eight to nine pounds. Again, the
rearing of 100 pullets will entail also the
rearing of about 100 cockerels, which
must be disposed of as market fowls,
and then every additional pound in
weight means tho price of one dozen
eggs. From the above it should be easily
seen that Leghorns are not tho best fowls
for market poultrymen. A larger breed
is needed, even If the egg production is
to be reduced.
Light Brahmas are a good breed, the
main objection to them being their slow.
ness to put on flesh as chickens, making
them in consequence undesirable Us
broilers. Minorcas make splendid all
purpose fowl. but again in their case
something is wrong. AS chickens they
are not sufficiently hardy to make them
as profitable as they should be, and as
fowls they suffer greatly from severe
winters, which causes their production
of eggs to be seriously affected. Lang.
shans are good layers, have size in their
favor, and they are hardy, but they have
the Asiatic trait of maturing slowly.
which detracts somewhat from theiI
value.
The pure breeds at present rightfully
laying claim to the title of all purpose
fowls are the Wyandottes and the Plym-
outh Rocks, with the scales tipping i'll
favor of the last, owing to their greater
average weight and a slight superiority
in number of eggs per year. They are
both hardy, mature quickly and wher
full grown and over year old are easily
fattened- While they would seem to fill
the bill they are not perfect. If kept in
their purity, they are liable to suffer
from the effects of inbreeding and to lose
much of their vitality and power OF
healthy and vigorous reproduction.
! If all breeds offer objections, what
then is the market poultryman to do?

As an evidence of the pro sperity OF
our country during the past year we
may state that while the pig iron pro.
duced in 1877 amounted to 1905, 900
tons in 1899 it amounted to 9.l57. 600.
leading Great Britain 254l. 900 tons,
and leaving out OF tho estimate the
production of Great Britain. more than
half Of the pig iron produced by all
other nations.
A similar or greater advance was
made In tho manufacture OF Bessemer
steel. the quantity made in our coun.
try in 1878 equaIled ISL 700 tons, while
in 1899 we manufactured 4. I6S. 900 tons,
being equal to half OF tho entire sup
ply OF the whole world.
sln abiding to this matter tho Boston
journal makes the following com
ments:
In 1873 Great Britain was contribu
ting ~ per cent, nearly half of Til;
worlds steel production, and tn,
United States only % per cent. II
1852 1t was the United States which

he made six gates similar to the one here
depicted, with the aid of hired man, in
one afternoon, and that 10 years trial
with them only serves to enhance their
value as time and labor saving device
This gate, which was originally Illus
trated in The Farm journal, is made
of dry pine l by inches; it is light, and
any boy big enough to drive pigs can
handle it. To open it just slide the gate
back until the ends of the top and bot.
tom rails come out of the mortises of the
left hand post, and then carry it around
as far as needed The two right hand
posts should be set far enough apart so
that the gate will slide freely between
them. As there is nostrain on the posts,
as in ordinary hinged gates, they may be

discussion took place, relating to CIV

use county bridges free. and to make
a monopoly Of the same by giving the
privilege to any one electric railway
Mr.. Willard Salisbury. OF the City
Railway Company, and Mr.. Peter L.
Cooper, representing the New Castle
Electric Railway. and Mr.. Robert O.
Justls, representing the Wilmington
and Brandywine Springs Railway Co,
were on hand and took up considerable
time in discussing the merits and de-
merits OF allowing any one company
the privilege OF crossing Washington
street bridge. A communication was
read from Mr.. Justls. stating that he
had learned that the Lew Court had
under consideration applications for
privileges to lay railway tracks on
county bridges In tho city OF Whining
! ton and that undoubtedly there would
be other such applications in tina
future.
i He called attention TO the fact that

that this fact makes 1t not only Import
ant. but necessary that action should

and thus making monopoly.
! The bridges should be free to all
transportation companies. The pc.
!, titloner suggested that any permits
sion grnated by the Levy Court to any
company to cross bridges should be
/ coupled with tho condition that the
track so laid should be available for
the use of any other company which
may DO at the time authorized to cross
the bridge. The tracks should DO laid
