Mark Smith tae Man
From the Prescott eourier.l

ttrom the Prescott Courier.
 With no disrespect to our friend 0 Neill, the Courier honestly believes Mark Smith to De the best man to send to congress under the existing conditions and in view of the almost certain election of Bryan. The o'Neill vote of two years ago sent a corpora tion and bondholders' lobbyist to con gress; aud this same vote if cast in the same channel this year will send man to congress representing exactly the same class of people. Pause, then, and consider the result before you throw your vote away, thereby elect ing a gold bug. Vote for Mark Smith for he has two-thirds the silver voting strength and needs the other third to defeat the gold bug. Buckey 0'Neill has no stronger personal friend than the editor of this paper, and this article is written for the benefit of O'Neill's friends, who are also the friends of silver. Let us save our territory, for that is our duty. Ne care nothing about Mark Smith, but must rally around. the standard he bears, for that $ our only road to political and finan- cial salvation.

ralserS, but owing to the nOn-Sittlng
habit of the Leghorns, they are not
what we consider an "ideal fowl" for
the farmer, as it is equally advantageous
for the farmer to raise chickens as eggs,
and, furthermore, we have observed
that all of the non-sitting varieties of
fowls do most of their laying in spring
and summer, when eggs sell at and 10
cents per dozen.
The most profitable fowl for the
farmer is fowl that is not only noted,
especially for it's good laying qualities,
but also for it's good incubating quail
ties. There are half dozen .or more
breeds that combine both good laying
and setting qualities. Our American
breed. the Plymouth Rock, is consid-
cred by the majority of poultry raisers
to be the best all-purpose fowl. They
are great layers, splendid sitters and
make excellent mothers. They have
been bred for quite long while, and
are today the most popular breed Of
fowls that we have.
While the Leghorn may excel the Ply
mouth Rock in the number of eggs pro-
duced in year, the latter breed is the
best winter layer, which makes it's egg
producE equal to the. Leghorns in value,
besides raising several broods of chick
ems during spring and summer. The
Plymouth Rock is also fine table fowl,
weighing four and cfive pounds when
only few months old and possessing
bright yellow legs. There are several
varieties of Plymouth Rocks. but the
barred and white varieties are the most
popular. The Plymouth Rock cannot
be improved by crossing, as il is we'll
nigh perfect breed for both the fancy
and market poultry raiser A. B. G.

The Plymouth Rock The Farmers Fowl.

The Plymouth Rock Farmers Fowl
There are about one hundred recog-
nized varieties Of domestic poultry, and
out of that number there are probably
twelve or fifteen varieties that are es-
pecially adapted to the farmer, such as
the Plymouth Rock, Leghorn, Wyan-
dotte and Langshan. Of course, breed
ers of other varieties of fowls claim that
their breed is as profitable to the farmer
as any of the above named breeds, but
experiments have proven that the CO.
chins, Brahmas and other heavy
feathered breeds are not so we'll suited
to the farmer as the Mediterranean
fowls. The Leghorn is the greatest lay
ing fowl yet produced, and is great
favorite among all kinds of poultry

Pure-Bred Fowls.

1t would seem that it is rather late ia
the day to ask why pure-bred poultry is
better than ordinary Chickens" but
thatis just the sort of question that
comes to me. The only excuse for a
question of this sort is that the one who
asks it has just had his attention at
tracted to the poultry business, and is
beginning to think that he may pos
sibly give some time to it if he can be
convinced that it is good thing, and in
the vernacular of the day, needs push
than mongrels for the very reason that
short-b born cow or Hereford bullock or
Berkshire hog is better than scrub stock.
1t has been carefully bred for the pur-
pose of making it more profitable, by
giving it a capacity to return more for
the food and care given it than would
be the case with fowl in the state of
nature. From wild bird weighing
three pounds has been bred the lordly
light brahma, weighing ten pounds or
more. From the primitive jungle hen,
which laid thirty eggs In year, has
descended the leghorn, not much larger,
but with capacity to produce two hun
dred eggs in year, under circumstances
favorable to the largest possible produc
ton. In the case of the brahma the i'm
provement is most marked in the in
crease in weight, and in the case of the
leghorn the improvement is in the pro-
duction of eggs. Neither of these varie-
ties of fowls will eat very much more
than the original type, but the returns
in meat or eggs are increased enor-
mously. The difference between the
common barn-yard fowls that are found
all over the country and the best types
of those of pure breeds may not be quite
so marked as in the cases have cited,
but the difference in favor of the pure
breeds is quite large enough to make it
an object to breed the best that can be
found, and let the old, improbable mon
grels dwindle away until no more of
them can be found about the poultry
yards and homes of the Countrywide
tional Stockman and Farmer.
