Without attempting to closely draw the
lines classifying fowls according to quail
ties, thing which he thinks impossible TO
do, writer in the Country Gentleman does
make classification which is interesting
and contains profitable information.
''The layers almost invariably produce
wbite-shelled egg. If there is any excep-
ton to this rule it is one that applies rather
to individual hens than to the breed. They
also belong to the cl,s which is lacking, in
q marked degree, in the incubating instinct.
In every breed, especially when the hens
are two years old, few specimens will be-
come broody, will even set and hatch out .
brood, but the greater number will not show
any evidence of broodiness cher than
ceasing to lsy for time and perhaps cluck-
ing few days. They are usually rather
light in build with moderately long body,
and lacking in great weight, the most Of
them being small fowls
"The 'generalpurpose' fowls vary in size
from the largest varieties to those Of mod
crate weight, but the majority of them are
Of medium WEIGHT, heavier than the lsyers,
the males weighing from eight to ten pounds
the hens pound or t~o less. The eggs
vary ia color from pure wLite to the dark
est brown, but the most Of them are Of .
brown or creamy tint. The fowls male
good settlers, and hatch and rear their own
young with exemplary patience AMI care"
1.-The strictly table breeds are few in
number, are characterized BY good ,ize and
by well developed bodies, broad breasts,
long and deep keel bones coveted with
muscles and full, well rounded thighs.
They are good settlers, good mothers, = I
rule-Dringing up their broods With great
care. They are, however, rome. mes too
heavy and crush their eggs inihe ress. The

STRIKERS ROUTED BY TROOPS.

Peru. H., Aug. G.-The expected inva-
sion Of 400 strikers from Spring Valley,

task. Sheriff Taylor brought down fifty
deputies and the Ottawa militia. The law
and order league of this city was called
out Sunday evening; pickets were placed
on every road with orders not to allow
strikers to cross the line between La
Sale and Bureau counties, and prepara-
lions made which would have resulted in
Wholesale slaughter if they had persisted
in attempting to carry out their plans.
Murray. their leader, was officially in
formed of the reception they would meet
and their discretion overpoWe"ed their
valor. Only a few scattering gangs 2p-
pcarcd at the county line and were turned
back without trouble. The militia met the
strikers from the mines south of the river
