10 cold or heat, No matter how low the
temperature, this popular American
breed attends strictly to business, and
if they are comfortably housed at night
and kept busy during the day we may
look for full nest box at gathering
time Still, they lay brown egg, and
if the demand should be for white eggs,
or both white and brown, we must look
for another breed to run side by side
with them, in order that the demand
for both may be supplied
Among the business breeds which lay
white eggs our choice is limited-wo
have tho Leghorns, Minorcas and An
dalusians. The Minorcas lay large,
fine egg, and, if properly handled, plen-
ty of them--but are they business egg
machines? The Andalusians also are
prolific layers, but if we breed them to
perfection is the demand sufficient to
justify their being kept for profit? We
are forced to fall back on the Leghorns
Here we have truly egg machines. Can
they be beaten in this quality? The
choice of the entire family is probably
the White, Brown or Buff. 1t matters
little which we select--it is fancy;
admirers of each claim superiority. Are
they popular? Nes-almost us much so
as the Plymouth Rocks. They are well
distributed throughout the country. The
public has adopted them, and the de-
mand for them has been, is and always
will be strong. Any person who cannot
make money out of eggs and keeps
White, Brown or Buff Lcghorns does
not deserve to be called an egg farmer,
They are active, healthy, beautiful and
profitable Does any other breed COM
bine more good qualities:
Their enemies, and they have some,
call them spring and summer layers.
They will lay as strong in the dead of
winter as any other breed if properly
housed. Being closely feathered va
1 riety, they need warm quarters. Keep
| them shut mp all winter III house
| whore the water never freezes in the
pans, feed them literally and keep them
/ busy ana they will lay continuously,
and when tpring comes and the warm
er air permits them to run out they
will, like all other breeds, increase
their egg yield, but i'll greater proper
tion. They are the fit mates for the
Plymouth Rocks for egg production.
Being nonsitting variety, they con.
tinue the laying when the Plymouth
Rocks become broody.
The great objection to the Lcghorn is
said to be it's small carcass for market
purposes This is hardly an objection
except to those who demand size and
weight alone. AS the chicks grow very
rapidly and are very active, they can
be made to dress as fine broiler fol
sweet, fine grained meat as any breed
known and at the earliest broiler sea
son, As roasters there is nothing better
than we'll fatted, three pound Leghorr
cockerel.
To conclude, therefore, we may con
slider that the great business team of al
the breeds is the Plymouth Rock ant
the Leghorn.

growth, an early maturity, good egg
yield and fine carcass; without it we
cannot depend upon any of these results
with certainty. Health and prime CON
dition go hand in hand, and both mean
the best results obtainablo in poultry.
The healthy hen is the egg type and the

be the first consideration. Where can

Why They Are Among the Best OF All
Breeds of Poultry.
Mr.. L. o. Roessle, the well known
poultry breeder, says in an exchange
that the orecd par excellence known
from one end of the country to the other
is the Barred Plymouth Rock. There is
not farmer, amateur or farcier who
does not at once recognize the sterling
qualities Of this most popular of all
breeds. 1t is almost useless to enumer-
ate their qualities, they are so we'll
known. Yet they live up to these quail
ties and maintain year after year the
excellence which is the foundation Of
their popularity, For egg producers,
when eggs are highest in price, they
are reliable, For good, large bodied
specimens, when meat is demanded,
they seldom fail, and for hardness and
general health they have no superiors
They are not beautiful, except in the
eyes of their admirers yet there is II
certain steady, businessliko air about
these plain specimens which appeals to
all classes and stamps them the great
money makers Of poultrydom.
1t is safe to say that the demand for
Plymouth Rocks is far in excess of that
for any other breed This does not re-
fleet unfayorably on tho other breeds.
1t simply shows that they are the pub
lies fayorites.
The very best quality any breed can
have is hardness. a vigorous constitu.

BUCKET PUMP OPERATED BY WINDMILL.
Windmills arc also used, but owing to
their varying speed are not preferred
for the purpose.
A modification of the common Per-
sian wheel used to n small extent for
irrigation is the form in which the
buckets, instead of moving freely up
ward, pass through pipe or long
rectangular box in which they fit quite
closely. Instead of being of bucket form
they may be fiat and are then known as
flights. "
By far the greater number of ordina-
~ pumps may be classed under the
head of piston or plunger. These are
the kind ordinarily employed with a
windmill. They depend for their action
upon two or more valves and upon the
lifting or displacing of the water by the
alternate forward and back, or in and
ont, movement Of the piston rod. These
pumps are too well known to require
description. Their cost is rs varied as
their size and intricacy and can best be
ascertained by each individual consult
ing for himself the nearest dealer or the
catalogues of well known manufacturers
For irrigation such pumps are driven
by windmills, by steam engines or by
gasoline or hot air motors, and i'll some
instances, notably in the vicinity of
Grand Junction, Colo, and on the va
kima river in Washington, by water
wheels. Although widely known and
generally used for pumping, yet for pur-
poses Of irrigation they are apparently
being supplanted to considerable ex-
tent by valveless pumps, such as the
Persian wheel type or the centrifugal
form.
The centrifugal pumps possess an adj
vantage not only in being valveless, and
therefore less liable to injury by sane
and floating obstacles, but also in the
fact that they run continuously in ont
direction and do not have the reciprocal
ing motion of the various forms o.

depend for efficiency upon rapid motion

Besides the'types described there are
a number of hydraulic engines, such as
rams or modified siphons, which depend
for their efficiency upon the momentum

column sends forward II small part of

How They Are rropn=ed scientifically For
Their Work.
The cut here given shows the students
of an up to date dairy school at work i'll
the milkroom. They are running hand
separators and parting the milk from
the cream in fine style, and quickly. We
give the picture here for one purpose
1t is to call attention of dairymen and
creamery men everywhere to the costume
worn by these students. Snowy overalls
and blouse aud linen cap constitute an
outside costume so clean and attractive
that it alone would be great advertise
ment for the creamery or private dairy
whose employees were thus uniformed.
The time is coming when every dairy
and creamery in the land will require
its employees to be clad in clean cotton
or linen uniforms. Nothing that cannot
be washed, and washed often, should be
worn about u creamery or private dairy.
Fortunately nearly all the states now
have dairy courses in connection with
the agricultural colleges. The course is
much the same in the schools. A fair
idea of it may be gathered from sketch
of the branches taught in the Wisconsin
Dairy school. Professor Moore, director
of the Wisconsin school, says in Hoard S
Dairyman;
The student becomes proficient in
using the hand separators, the Babcock
test and the lactometer, and in all sub

PUMPS FOR IRRIGATION.

somc of the Most Widely Employed Mech
nuisins Described.
The Persian wheel, or bucket pump,
although of great antiquity, is used in
many localities. These wheels, or buck
ct pumps, as now used for irrigation
consist of an endless chain of small
buckets extending down into the well
and up vertically to the height which
water must be delivered to flow out to
tbe land The buckets, descending emp
tv and ascending filled, are discharged
Mt the highest point. The machinery
for raising them may be driven either
by horsepower or by steam engines.
