Which Kind of Fowls to Keep.

This question is often asked, which
kind of fowls do you advise me to keep
To this the Planter and Granger replies:
III yon want eggs through the greater
portion of the year, but do not care for
poultry for the table, keep the Leghorns
if you want eggs through the winter, at
the time when hardly any other varieties
are laying, keep the light Brahmas or
white Cochins; in fact, the greatest
value of the Brahma lies in its superior
laying capacity during the winter months
We know of no breed of fowls that will
begin to produce so many eggs between
November and May as this; and as the
eggs are large and heavy, they find
quick market in the season when eggs
bring the best prices.
For broilers, S or 10 weeks old Brahma
chickens are very desirable-in fact, at
that age they are among the very best of
breeds, but as rOasterS they are not in
their prime until they are 8 or months
old.
To those who want a beautiful breed
of fowls for fancy stock, we unheSitat-
ingly recommend the white Cochin. We
know of but few large varieties that show
as well on the lawn or in the poultry yard
as this breed, and as good winter layers
they are very favOrably known. They
are very quiet, Stay-at-home bird, and
quite a low fence will keep them. The
young Cochin, say at from to 10 weeks
old, makes capital brOiler being
round and fun breasted, but for roasters,
however, the Cochin is of little value un-
til it has matured, and even then it can
not compare with the Brahma, Plymouth
Rock. etc AS mothers for early chick
ems, the hens of this breed are uneX-
celled, They are large, and being COW
cred with heavy coat of long, fluffy
sfeathers, they can cover quite numerous
brood
HIf YOU want a breed that lays a fair
number of good favored eggs, is a hand
some bird to keep and is, in addition, a
magnificent table fowl, get the Plymouth
Rocks
Another years experience with this
breed further confirms our good opinion Of
it, The Plymouth Rock has arrived at
great popularity among those farmers
and breeders of poultry who want hardy,
understanding variety. 1t is not a re-
markable layer, and it does not grow to
the size of the Asiatics, but it will put on
it's bones greater amount of meat in a
given time, from its day of Matching up,
than almost any other breed.
In respect to hardness, the Plymouth
Rocks, both as chicks or matured
fowls, are almost unequaled; they are
early fedgers, the chicks being full
featnered when the Brahma chicks
Matched in the same brood, are running
about almost naked. This trait in the
plymouth Rocks places them among the
most desirable breeds for broilers or
spring chickens.
las roasters. the matured birds are
among the very best; in fact, we cannot
tolerate on our own table any other fowls,
after they have matured, if Plymouth
Rocks are obtainable."

1t IS a glorious privilege to live in the
country. You farmers who have lived
there all your lives may not believe this,
but it is So Go into the crowded pre-
cincts of our large cities and look upon the
misery and discomfort exhibited there
and you will soon agree with US that
country life is much to bepreferred to life
in the crowded streets of the city. Many
time we have strolled along the streets
of the smaller cities, like Savannah and
Atlanta even, with the result of having
the deepest feeling of gratitude aroused
that our life had been lived beyond the
clty'S walls where the trees grew and the
birds sang, where only at rare intervals
the sounds of wheels disturbed the still
ness of the evening air, where only the
moon made occasional nights brighter
than others, where when night fell abso-
Lutte silence reigned. We were born to
city life, but fate sent US to the country
soon after reaching manhood. We shall
never cease to feel grateful that it was so
ordained. We have had some diSad-
vantages, it is true, but they have
all been Offset by advantages
of one kind or another; we feel
convinced of this The merry voices Of
our children have made the lanes and the
fields and the woods resOund with glad
score of years. They have lived half of
their lives in the woods. The follies of
the town they have little cOgnizance of.
They have a vague idea of them, but no
acquaintance with them. Thank God,
they have greater knowledge of the Sc
crcts of the forest than they have of the
frivohties of the town. They have ranged
the woods and fields until their ex-
hausted bodies have crayed the
early couch, but they are never
blear-eyed and exhausted from the late
hours of city night life. They always
hail the early breakfast bell, and out of
school hours are ready for the tramp of
the woods and fields How we do pity
child-life in the cities. How little Of
genuine pleasure the city boy and girl
have. Think of this, farmers, when you
are trying to make balance Of your
profit and loss" for the past twenty-five
years. You have had some benefits you
have not reckoned Maybe your life has
not been the failure that you have set it
down to be. You may not have made
the money that you think you ought to
have made. But if you have made your
wife and children happy in the mean
while and have brought the latter to
manhood or womanhood free from the
taints of modern social life, remember
you have done much for another genera
ton, and you should be oorrcspondingly
grateful. FARMER

Te1onn the Pa II Mall Tud0at

From the Pail Mall Budget
An Englishman or an American visiting.
Greece for the first time is struck,
sooner or later, by a certain dullness in
the street life of its towns, which it may
take him some little time to define and
trace to its real cause At length, and
suddenly the fact comes home to him
that there are few, if any, women visible
among the foot passengers. No wonder,
he reflects, that the streets should APP
pear dull to him, shorn as they are of all
the variety that wOman's presence and
dress ever lends to the thoroughfares
of countries farthest west. In Greece
it is only toward evening, and then for
but a brief period, that the fair sex
take an outing, unless the pressure
of some urgent business should compel
them to fit rapidly through the throng of
men who at other times monopoize the
streets Nor will foreigner meet with
them serving in the shops, the restaurant
or the cafes; they will still be conspicu-
Gus by their absence. In fact, unless he
visit them in the privacy Of their homes
he will scarcely do more than catch an
occasional glimpse of them at the upper
windows of some private dwelling house
or shop, where, when the weather is
seasonable. they will sit reading and
sewing, and craning their necks out TO
of this sedcntary life, so antagonistic to
our English faith in open air and exer-
else, are very marked on the fair forms of
the Grecian women.
An EN- bonpoint. not to designate it by
the more vulgar term corpulence, is the
most apparent result of this indoor exist
ence but this tendency to gross flesh is
an attraction to the modern Gre *, who
like the Turk, finds in superfuous fat, an
additional beauty. To every country its

The following is Prof. Riley's formula
for kerosene emulsion, with particulars
of manipulation by the same authority:
Kerosene, two gallons, 81 per cent. com
mon or whale oil soap half pound, water
one gallon, 80 per cent. Heat the solution
of soap, and add it boiling hot to the
kerosene. Churn the mixture by means
of force pump and spraying nozzle for
five or ten minutes. The emulsion, if
perfect, forms a cream which thickens
on cooling, and should adhere without
oiliness to the surface of glass. Dilute
before using, one part of the emulsion
with nine parts Of water The above
formula gives three gallons of emulsion,
and makes, when diluted, thirty gal
Ions of wash. A frequent cause of failure
is the attempt to form an emulsion by
churning together a small quantity of
kerosene and large quantity of dilutent.
Only a very unstable compound is thus
formed. The very essence of the process
requires that the oil shall be broken down
by driving into union with it a smaller, or
at most an equal quantity Of the emulsi-
flying solution after which, IL a genuine
emulsion is formed, IL may be diluted 10

WooLGROWERs' MEETING.

Elsewhere will be found a call for a
meeting of the Woolgrowers' Associa-
ton of Montana, issued by b. c. White
of TIBET, president of the association.
Mr.. White was made president last DC
tober, but through a mistake i'll an I'M
tial letter was not aware of the honor
until recently.
1t will be seer that the date OF the
meeting is September 9th, less than a
month hence, but as the wOolgrowers
of this county have already taken
action there will doubtless be a good
representation at the Falls.
1t is time for action, and like the sill
yer convention in Chicago, let politics
be cast aside and a united effort made
to check hostile legislation by COP
gress. Every w~oolgrower knows that
his product is classed as"raw material"
while To him it is as much IA finished
article as the most intricate piece OF
mechanical work, and requires the
outlay Of a vast of capital,
skill and careful attention. There mas
been no question as to the attitude OF
the dominant party rs regards wool-it
is the one thing marked for slaughter,
without any thought OF "A grading
scale" Let slow tariff and "high
tariff men unite to check a change in
the present schedules, as it must result
only in disaster.
Wo~olgrowing is of vast Importance
to Montana, and all of our citizens as
well as the growers are deeply con-
cerned in its prosperity. There should
be no uncertain sound in the speeches
made and resolutions adopted at the
meeting. There is n fighting chance
to defeat a free wool bill and flock
masters should be alert for a Knockout
blow.

Never before, in times of peace, has
the country been so interested in a
presidential message as at present.
Though people entertain different opin-
ions as to what Mr.. Cleveland should
say, all are anxious to read his utter
ances. 1t is in the power of the presi-
dent to prevent disaster to the silver
states by taking a position in favor of
free coinage. But this he will not do.
1t is in the power Of Mr.. Cleveland to
arrest industrial s~tagnation and ruin in
manufacturing enterprises by saying
that there should be no tariff legisla-
ton. But will Mr.. Cleveland do SO?
1t is said that he is not wholly in
sympathy with the tariff plank OF the
platform on which he was election. If
true, now is the time for him to show
his colors. The country is waiting
patiently for some word of encourage
ment. Does Mr.. Cleveland think pro-
lection Demonstrations and a fraud"
II he does, and advocates a lowering of
duties to practically a free trade basis,
he should say so now and let the people

closing their doors. Every eastern
city has thousands of men out of en-
ployment with the number increasing
daily. Before Mr.. Cleveland celebrates
the first year of his induction into Office
there will be a million men seeking
work who a yea g were fully en-

age and craftsmanship to come to the
rescue of his countrymen? We doubt
it, but let us wait and see.

Over 10000 7o Ounces Short for July-Con-

WASHINGTON, July 31.-For the first
time since the passage of the Sherman
silver law the treasury this month
failed to buy the full quote of 4,20O,-
900 ounces of silver. The total pur-
chase for the month was 2,3S4, 600
ounces, ileaving a shortage OF 2,l16,-
900 ounces. The amount purchased
today was 216,OO0 ounces at a
counter offer of SO.7O3O per ounce.
Congressman Pence and Bell of Colo
RADIO were in P%reston's room at the
time he rejected all offers and made
the counter offer. Both of them we're
much concerned about what they
claimed vas the effort of the treasury
department to "bear" the price of sill
YER in the markets of the world. They
indicated n purpose to precipitate a
silver discussion on the first working
day Of the extra session, by a resolu-
ton of inquiry as to whether or not
the secretary of the treasury had not
exceeded his authority in refusing to
purchase 4 ,50O,O 900 ounces in July as
provided by law.
