FARM POULTRY.
How to Improve the Stock and Enhance
Its Value.

How to Improve the Stock and Enhance
Its Value.
The Improvement of any stock de-
ponds upon one fundamental principles;
breeding only from the best. Improve
ments in all things can only be pro-
duced in this way. In poultry breed
ing, as well as in other things, there is
always room for improvement. This
is most noticeable in the farm poultry.
but there has never been bird raised
by the fancier that has reached per-
lection, so there is still room for i'm
provement even among the most scien-
tifc breeders of the country
The improvement of farm poultry
is of vast Importance, and the
sooner the farmer realizes this the
sooner will he find the egg production
and weight of the fowls increase. If
eggs are what is wanted the size of the
fowl has little to do with il, but if
market fowls are wanted the size and
weight has about all to do with it.
How to improve farm poultry is the
question? The quickest and most sue
cessful way of improvement, in our
opinion, is to do away with all the COM
moner mongrel stock, and keep only
pure bred. A stock of pure-bred fowls
are much easier bred and reared, within
the bounds of perfection, than lot of
mongrels. But even with pure-b bred
stock care should be taken in breeding
lest they degenerate, and by inland in
breeding they become no better than
the commonest stock. There are some
farmers who have an aversion to keep
ing purebred stock, and to such we
would say, you are the very ones who
should first begin the improvement of
your common fowls. If in the spring,
say about February 1, you would select
only the best of your pullets, get a
strong, vigorous, healthy cock from
some of your neighbors, and breed
these, you would find the chicks
from them to be much healthier,
grow faster, mature earlier, and make
better fowls than the parent stock
Then the following season select only
the best of these. Get another male
bird and breed in the same way. In
this way you are adding to the utility
of your stock and they will become
mere productive and profitable. We
believe that if a purebred male is
bought every year that it will more
than pay for the cost in the weight
of spring chickens at market time,
besides otherwise improving the
never bred a male bird to his own

without prejudice, will be found u

victims of conserved longing" which
they hope TO satisfy by intellectual pur-
suits, and women disappointed IL mar

RUTH'S ESCAPE.
She Lived in More Favorable
 Times.
Had She Cleaned in Arizona She Would Have Got a Term In
 the County Jail.

If Ruth, the Moabitess, had lived in this day and had gone gleaning in an Arizona .wheatfeld she would not have had quite so smooth sailing. Instead of gathering up the affections of the proprietor of the field along with the vagrant grain and becoming the great grandmother of a line of kings ehe would have landed in jail.
 Cleaning is felony in Arizona unless it is carried on with the concurrence of the owner of the field. Justice Kin caid yesterday sent Francisco Guerrero to jail for twenty-five days for cleaning in the field of Mir. Hammil's whose first name is not Boaz, near Glendale. Juan Romero went up for ten days as an assistant gleaner.
 The men were arrested on Saturday afternoon charged with stealing grain from Hammils. When the case was tried yesterday there was no denial by the defendants of the complaining wit ness statement but they insisted on 8 modification of the terms of the com plaint. There was a difference they thought between gleaning and larceny
 Guerrero said he believed that when a harvester had once passed over a field, if any stray stalks of grain re- mained they became public property, or rather the property of whoever first claimed them. His belief might be based upon custom instead of law, but it was custom which had been recog- nized in the valley by Indians and the older settlers from the earliest times. He had observed that a great deal of Mir. Ham mills grain had escaped the voracity of his header; most of it was so near the fence that the headey couldn't cut it and he had leisurely en- tered, gathered and threshed it. The product of the gleaning was three sacks of grain, chaff and dirt. He said that MT. Hammil had passed along the road three or four times while he was at work, but raised no objection to the frugal movements of the defendant.
 MT. Hammil denied any knowledge of the proceedings until he caught the two men with the grain.
