THE POPULAR BUFF COCHIN.

The most popular variety of fowl at
the present time is the Buff Cochin.
The reasons are a rich, clear buff color,
massive size, ideal shape, immense
feathering and docility. The demand
for buff color has been so persistent
that we now have a large number of
breeders of numerous varieties Striv-
ing, by crossing and otherwise, to pro-
duce the beautiful color of the i.
Cochin. Up to date no breeders of any
othel variety have produced a buff
color approaching that of the Buff
Cochin
Many breeders have striven for years
in mating their Cochins to produce
that soft buff color so much admired,
and finally become discouraged and
and disposed of their stock on the
ground that Bluffs were ''too difficult to
breed true to color" The fact is,
properly bred Cochins, intelligently
mated, will produce seventy-five per
cent of specimens that will average
ninety points and over by our best
judges.
To mate for Color outside appear
arce is no criterion. The under-color
is the breeders guide. The breeder
who is particular about under-color,
wings and tail of his breeding stock,
will surely succeed. A buff with white
or blue under-color should be dis
carded; black in wings or tail is bad,
but white is worse. Never allow black
in neck of females; to do so is to trans
nit the defect to her progeny; and to
use a cock for such a hen is to faint
your entire flock. Again, it is difficult
to detect black in the neck of male
except when moulting. Extra dark or
nearly red specimens usually have
light or defective under-color, and are
not strong breeders for color.
The Cochin is a heavily feathered
fowl, and it is not difficult to breed
them with enough fluff and feather,
without vulture hooks. l have bred
specimens with such an abundance of
fluff that it became necessary to use
the shears on them in order to get
fertile eggs. Too much feathering is
a positive injury, but at the same time
to be properly feathered a Cochin
should be well feathered from the end
of the middle toes up, and appear mas
sive but not slouchy.
In shape the principal features are
the convex or high cushion and short
tail.
Put rich, clear Buff Cochin, of pro-
per shape and color and well feathered,
on the lawn, and it will attract the at
tention of every passer by.
Practically, the Cochin is a superior
fowl. For table purposes, when from
four to twelve months of age, / know
of nothing superior. They fatten more
readily than most any other variety,
are tender, fine favored, and have
beautiful skin and legs.
AS layers they will not produce so
many eggs in a year as some other
varieties. They produce an abundance
of eggs during the winter months. Be-
ing "onto their job" they do not lay
cheap eggs abundantly during the
summer season, but will hatch as many
or more chicks during this period as
any other breed. No other varieties
possess SO many desirable qualities.
To attain the best results, the Cochin
must be properly cared for The great
est danger lies in overwhelmingly,

will not let English goods into their mar

The adoption OF the policy of protection by
other nations prevents England from reap
ing all the advantages possible from her
ability TO produce more cheaDly than these
other countries. When Mr.. Gladstone said
that England should not arrest the depre-
citation of silver because English money
lenders profited by the appreciation OF
gold he afforded an accurate measure of
his craftsmanship The policy he recon-
mends to the world is the policy which In
his opinion will most help England. his
craftsmanship is entirely justiabe when
applied 10 England, but an absolute fraud
when offered to other nations. Up to the
present time the single gold standard has
worked well for England. but the lndlca-
tions now are that soon her losses from
the insolvency of creditors and from trade
with silver-using nations will counter
balance her gains from the Increase IN the
purchasing power Of money. When Mr..
Gladstone clearly perceives that England
will lcse more by the demonetiZation CT
silver than she will gain. he will become
an ardent bimetalist.

One paragraph in letter from Julius
W. Raphael in Mondays CALL requires
qualification. After commenting upon the
Mr.. Raphael says:
One more important and injurious act of Con.
gress-and our home legislation was the rea-
son-was to cease hydraulic mining, which
caused the State of California 10 shut off the
taking from the mines OF California nearly
S12,000.000.
The present law, known as the Can't
netti law, allows all the mines to be
worked by the hydraulic process which
can impound their debris. Where tailings
cannot be impOunded mines can be worked
by that process only at the peril of our
rivers and harbors. The sum mentioned
as the output of the hydraulic mines
would be no compensation for the de-
structon of these rivers and harbors.
There may be good deal of hydraulic
mining done under the Caminetti act, but
if all restraints should be removed it
would only be q question of time when
the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys
would be covered with slickens. Twelve
millions of dollars Is large sum. but it is
bagatelle compared to the value of other
industries of the Stale. 1t would not be
much of trick for the idle capital and
idle labor in the State TO get together and
manufacture from raw material S12, 600, 600
of goods we now import. And $4,000, 000
saved from going out of the State is worth
as much to US as the same amount taken
