For table purposes good cross gives
quick growth and plump carcasses. Tor
egg production, crossbred pullcts will lay
more eggs the first winter than pure
bred pullets. But the serious mistakes
made i'll crossing are, first, to work in
several breeds, like, for instance, cross
ing an American breed ON an Asiatic,
and then top crossing that with Mcdi-
terranean fowl. Crossing should not go
beyond the mixing Of two pure brcds.
Another mistake is to mate up these
cross breeds with their own kind. Such
work is the first step toward mongrel-
ism Cross breeding should be confined
alone to broiler farms, for such excel
lent results are obtained, or on egg
farms where only pullets are used cross
breeding is invaluable But where roast
ing fowls are desired, our American
and Asiatic birds take the lead And
where hens are to be kept for egg farm
ing, only pure breeds should be en-
plOyed. Who're a man has limited space,
he should keep nothing but pure stock,
and only one variety at that, and i'll the
case Of the farmer, who wants a general
purpose fowl the pure bred alone fits
his demands.

doubt that this choice Of a resting pad
proves a comfort to the sitter who is
dainty in the matter of position. This
design, which is without back, is
evidently for use rather than display.
The small table is for decorative
rather than useful purposes. The de-
sign, if well executed, adds unusual
classic dignity to the center Of a room,
or as choice corner piece, 1t IS in
vogue in its larger forms as a dining
table, and those who possess one will
enthusiastically tell you that for a small
dinner party there is nothing compare
BILE with our circular friend. The out
ward bend and consequent placing of
ones neighbors right and left, in po-
sition where conversation is enjoyable
render the round table unrivaled for
the party Of six or eight.

If the most prolific hens We're retain
ed and the worthless ones marketed, a
great improvement would soon result.
1t is the keeping Of the drones that
makes the expenses large and receipts
small. 1t is a loss Of time and money to
feed ten hens i'll order to secure eggs
from only five. A small hock of laying
hens is more valuable than large flock
that is expected to begin laying. Do not
depend on uncertainties. The hens that
are not laying during those periods Of
the year when all the conditions for so
doing are in their favor will give but
little profit when the conditions are
against them.

Cut green bone is economical food for
poultry, old OF young, if the conditions
are such as to require it. Fowls run
ming at large, having access to fields
where insects are moderately abundant,
are in little or no need Of it, and will
eat but little on that account. But if it
be given them at any time, and it be
eaten, it is economy to feed it, provided
the time required to cut it is not too
valuable. If fowls are confined in small
yards, or cannot forage where insects
and gravel are plenty, it is an econom-
ical necessity. 1t should always be fed
clear. If mixed with other food, too
much may be eaten, contrary to the de-
mands of nature and detrimental to the
fowls. AS to how much to feed no def
mite answer can be given. AS to what
bones to use and the cCst-beef joints
and beef ribs are not Cxcelled. They
should be chopped into moderately
small pieces with a cleaver or hatchet.
Rib bones are better than joint bones,
because they contain less oil and far
more juicy, muscle and egg making ma
terial. Almost any bones will be profit
able, though. Ny bones for the purpose
cost me nothing except the profit l pay
on meat for, family use. My butcher
furnishes them without extra charge,
yet l keep only few CT my breeding
stock at home, raise no chicks i'll the
city, but send eggs to be hatched and
have the chicks TaiSPd On farms, The
cost would be trifling if more were
needed. Y. Bicknell in Rural New

The scheme to have detachable collars
with shirt waists is very happy thought
Of somebody, and the quick popularity
of this style of waist attests its general
favor. One waist will easily retain it's
freshness to wear through two collars,
now that the shirt waist is such only in
name and does not necessarily mean a
bodice with a shirt front Some dress
makers also make up the stylish silk
waists to be worn with linen collars or

The Best Breeds.

While the Mediterranean fowls are
doubtless On the whole the best layers,
their superiority in that respect can
hardly make good their inferiority as
table fowls Half the chicks produced
are cockerels, and the ultimate destina-
ton of the best laying pullet is the pot
or the oven. The table value should
therefore be more Of consideration
with us than it has been. Plymouth
Rocks are good layers, and their broodi-
ness only gives them needed rest. And

habit Of throwing down corn every time
they visit the yard or desire TO call up

Is Paint Brush Getting into Your Farms?
SALT WILL KILL 1T !

We are in receipt of letter from the
State Agricultural College asking as to
price Of our salt. They say they under
stand we are selling it for $3.50, while the
best price at which it can be secured by
Chittenden county farmers is $3.50, and
even at this price they have to go to the
elevator on the lake shore, because it can
not be furnished even at this price, if any
expense is incurred for transportation after
it leaves the canal boat
We are glad to note that there is one
point of advantage which LamOille county
farmers enjoy over those who live on the
line of water transportation, and to en-

say that farmers may club together, and
