Cross Breeding of Poultry.

a nelghbor has been experimenting
for several years in crossing different
breeds Of poultry. He has made almost
every conceivable cross and, from his
own confession, not more than three
were at all satisfactory. l have made
few experiments myself but not without
studying both individuals we'll before
venturing to mate them. Ny idea has
been to use breeds not dissimilar in color
or markings. For instance, mated a
White Plymouth Rock cockerel with a
yard of White Cochin hens. This gave
bird with lighter leg feather, more of
the Rock build and better egg record
than the Cochin, yet not as'good moth
ers. On no account do I allow more
than first cross, using pure-bred stock
and firstclass birds only. The most
satisfactory result yet obtained IS from

pen of White Wyandotte hens mated
with Rose Comb White Leghorn cock.
The cross makes pure white bird, with
neat, yellow legs, the pullets weighing
about or Al pounds. The cockerels
reach the broiler weight very early and
feather quicker than the Wyandotte or
Plymouth Rock. find the cross a desir-
able one for early broilers. The pullets
are equal to Leghorns as layers, COM
mencing when months old. They have
the warmer feathering of the Wyandotte
combined with the docile traits of the
Leghorn. The only drawback with this
cross for the common farmer IS the
necessity of having pen of pure bred
birds of each breed before making the
cross, as mating cross-bred individuals
proves disappointing.- B. Hall,

If properly kept and judiciously sp-
piled to land, poultry manure is worth
one-half the cost of the food the fowls
get. and yet little account is taken of
the droppings when an estimate is made
of the profits.
Compared with well-rotted barn
manure, there are 1890 pounds Of phos-
phoric acid in hen manure, to six in barn

to ten in barn-yard manure; and sixty

broiler.
The goose lays score or two of eggs
in year.
No brooding-pen should contain over
fifty chicks.
Brothers shrink about half pound
each when dressed.
The shell of an egg contains about
fifty grains of salt of lime.
Forty dressed ducklings are packed in
barrel for Shipment.
From thirtyfive to forty ducks and
brakes are allowed in a pen.
The duck averages ten dozen eggs In
about seven months laying.
Build the house ten by ten feet for ten
fowls, and the yard ten times larger.
Ducklings are marketed at five pounds
weight, which they attain in ten weeks.
Ten dozen eggs a year is the average
estimate given as the production of the
hen.
About eight dozen eggs are given as
an average for the annual output of the
turkey.
Duck feathers sell at forty cents per
pound; goose feathers bring double the
amount.
Thirteen eggs are considered setting,
though many breeders are now giving
fifteen.
Between forty and fifty degrees is the
proper temperature to keep eggs for
Matching during winter.
Eggs intended for Matching should not
g be kept over four weeks. They must be
turned every day or two.
1t will require seven pounds Of
skinned milk to equal one pound of
lean beef for flesh forming qualities.
One dollar per head IS the average cost
of keeping fowl year, and the same
amount is fair estimate Of the profits.
The eggs Of the White Leghorn,
Black Minorca and Houdan are of about
the same weight as those of the Light
Brahma.
In an egg Of one thousand grains, six
hundred belong to the white, three
hundred TO the yolk, and one hundred to
the shell.
For good results in egg production, the
hen house during the winter should not
be allowed to become colder than forty
degrees.
1t costs one cent each, in the Elst, to
produce an egg; out West, where grain
is cheaper, their cost would hardly
exceed a half cent.
In one hundred parts Of the white of
an egg, about eighty-four per cent is
water; twelve and a half per cent albu
men; one per cent mineral matter, and
two and a half per cent sugar, etc.
A Light Drama hens egg will weigh
from two anda quarter to two and u half
ounces, or about one pound and twelve
ounces per dozen.
In mating ducks, about seven are

q YOUTHFUL FIREsvu

fire In an unoccupied dwelling house at II
Central avenue, which occurred March 10,
and for the burning Of the Strathmore aS

The boy Is of slight build and saiiow

sea, where he robbed the contribution box.
Again no was sent to Westboro. About a
year ago he was released.
After the confession young CLARK told
the officers that he was only sorry for his
parents. The testimony Of young Dickson,
who, IL turns out, was with Clark when
the Baptist church was entered, oorrop-
crates that given by the offender himself.
Young Clark will be arraigned In the

Nicaragua Canal Bill.

SAN FRANCISCO, March Cap
tain W. L. Merry denies that the canal
company had any lobby in congress
working for or against the Mallory
bill. He added: 1.-THE failure of the
Nicaragua canal bill in the house was
not surprise to me, for Mr.. Catch
ings, chairman of the committee on
rules, stated in December that congress
would not have time to consider it,
and that it would not pass the SD con-
gress. The passage of the house bill
would have been an advantage to the
company, even if its terms were not
entirely acceptable, for the reason that
it would have gone to a conference
committee with the senate bill, and
also because, whatever the result, the
enactment of the measure agreed upon
thereby would serve as q vantage
ground for further legislation, if de-
emed advisable. If lobby infiences
could control the rules committee, it
must be admitted that interests ad-
verse to the canal may have been act
i've. The Pacific coast delegation
spared no effort to pass the bill through
the house, and Its members deserve
the thanks of our citizens-more could
not have been done by them. We
may look more hopefully for the ac-
ton of the 81 congress, and mean
while it is gratifying that events have
proven that the congress of the United
States would have passed the bill had
it been permitted. 1t is to be hoped
that it will haye another opportunity
before European interests place the
canal beyond American influence,
The canal enterprise moves slowly,
but, although disappointed, we must
not be discouraged; il will see its day
of victory.n
