Which Breed?

(Southern Farm Gezatte:) For years
the writer bred Plymouth Rocks, but
they coDgregate 80 much at the kitchen
door and on the back porch that they
became a nuisance. Thew got 50 fat and

They roam all over he farm and pick
up their own living. We never feed
them-there is no necessity for it at any
time. For food, then, they cost us
virtually nothing. We fnd them ex-
cellent egg-producers, good sitters,
admirable mothers, rem arkably free
from diseases, aud the most peaceably
disposed fowls we ever had on the place.
They are very good size for the table,
AMI the meat is far better than the
coarser breeds. In our opinion there is
no better fowl for the farm.

A General-purpose Fowl.

(E. e. Richards in Western Poultry
Journal:) The general acceptation of the
term "general-purpose fowl" is perhaps
as well defined in the makeup of the
Plymoth Rock, the Wyandottes, Black
Langshans and Brahmas, as in any
other variety. No single breed poss esses
all the valuable characteristics with none
of the faults. | believe that the variety
that one has a special liking for to be
the best general-purpose fowl for his
individual use. 1t is surely the one that
will result most probably to the owner.
We would encourage the keeping of
pure bloods, for the following reasons:
First, the general uniformity of the
fl ,ck in appearance and size would be
more appreciated and generally sell to
better advantage when offered in the
market; second, that, as various breeds
require different methods in feeding,
with one breed you overcome this OBJ
stacle. We would not advocate mixing
breeds, although the first cross is some
times very desirable, but the indiscrim-
mate mixing loses all the valuable
characteristics of any one or two breeds.
We would not advise the crossing OF two
non sitting varieties, unless you desire
persistent sitter.
Light Brahma females crossed with
White Leghorn males give good results,
as do Partridge Cochin females and
Brown Leghorns. One OF the best
crosses we have ever seen was flock
OF Partridge Cochin hens crossed with
Indian Game cockerel. Mr.. B yer recon-
mends cross of Black Langshans with
Black Miporua cOckerel.
So it is easily seen that profitable
cross should be made with small males
and large females,

Poultry For the Hotels.

That more attention is not given in
Florida to the raising of poultry is
strange. says the Citizen. No good reason
appears to exist why the entire demand
for chickens and eggs, even during the
winter season when immense quantities
are required for the use of the hotels,
should not be supplied in the State. If
people would look into the subject they
would see that with a very small invest
ment of capital they could meet the de-

Feather and Egg Eating.

Egg and feather eating are two very
annoying vices to which focks some
times become subject. For feather eat
ing there is little hope, and the shortest
way with it, unless the victim of the
vice is an unusually valuable fowl, is the
best. Ii the bird has an especially high
value that makes it worth the trouble,
1t may be isolated so that it can get at
the feathers of no other bird, and it's
own feathers made distasteful by the uee
OF vaseline, or some repulsive prepare
ton Of this kind. Ii the feather eating
hen, however, is only an average one,
1.-The best thing to do is to kill her, for the
habit is one that spreads in the fl ok,
and any appearance OF it cannot be sup
pressed too soon.
For the egg eating habit, the cure is
not very difficult. Make egg shells un-
pleasant to the taste, and then leave all
they can possibly eat around where the
flock can get at them, at the same time
take away the demand by feeding
plenty OF shell and grit, such as they
ought to have. If this be done, and egg
shells soaked in kerosene be scattered
around the runs, the egg eating habit
can soon be broken uD.-Wisconsin Far

mands of the market and make hand
some profit. A writer in the Southern
Poultry Journal says: "Invest IS or
$40 in eggs, and with reasonable success
in raising you will have enough stock to
start with in q years time. Or put SIS
or 500 into fowls, and you will be already
started. The poultry business in this
respect is like no other"

The Relation of Birds to Crops.

DR.. G. Hart Merriam, chief Of the di
vision of ornithology Of the Agricultural
Department, has for several years been
engaged in examining and Analysing
the contents of the stomachs of hawks,
crows, owls, black-birds, meadow larks
and other birds Of North America
which are supposed to be strikingly
beneficial or Injurious to the crops OF
farmers. The stomachs of over 1000
birds, taken at different seasons of the
year, have Eeen already analysed and
the contents determined, while some 49,
900 are still unexamined. The results
in some cases have been remarkable,
showing in several notable instances
that popular ideas regarding the in
furious effects of certain birds were
wholly mistaken and that they have
been the victims of an unjust perse.
cution. This has been found to be es-
pecially the case with hawks and owls
for the slaughter of which many states
give bounties. Pennsylvania in two
years gave over 100000 In hawk and
owl bounties. Examinations of the
stomachs of these birds prove con-
clusively that 95 per cent Of their food,
were field mice, grasshoppers, crickets,
ETC., which were infinitely more injuri-
Gus to farm crops than they. 1t was
found that only five kinds of hawks and
owls ever touched poultry, and then
only to very limited extent.
A bulletin on the crow, published in
1895, also shows that bird not so black
as he has been painted by the farmers.
The charges against the crow were that
he ate corn and destroyed the eggs OF
poultry and wild birds. Examinations
of their stomachs showed that they eat
noxious insects and other animals, and
that although 25 per cent of their food
is corr, it is mostly waste corn, picked
up in the fall and winter. With regard
to eggs it was found that the shells
were ca en- to a very limited extent for
the lime. They eat ants, beetles, cater
pi lars. bugs, flies, etc, which do much
damage. Bulletins have been prepared
on the cuckoo and other blackbirds,
king birds, meadow larks, cedar birds,
thrushes, catbirds, sparrows, etc. In
many cases popular ideas are found to
be untrue. In the case of the king bird,
killed by the farmer under the i'm
preston that it eats bees, it was found
that he ate only drones and robber flies,
which themselves feed on bees, and
which destroy more bees in a day than
the king bird does in ayear. The king
bird, therefore, is to be encouraged
rather than slaughtered. The cuckoos
are also found to be very useful birds in
this country. Because the European
cuckoo robbed nests and laid therein it's
own eggs, popular fancy attributed the
same vicious habit to our own cuckoo.
He is, however, not depraved like his
European namesake, but very decent
fellow, who does much good in the de-
struction of insects.
