a good hen, and should be broad and
massive. The plumage is Of the slime
reddish brown color as the back. The
penciling on the breast is perhaps a
little more distinct and open than on
the back; the outlines of the penciling
should be sharp and conform to the
shape of the feather. The body is
broad and deep behind and same plum
age as the breast. The fluff is very
abundant, covering the posterior por-
ton of the bird and standing out about
the thighs. Wings are small and the
primaries fold closely under the sec
ondaries; the bows are covered by the
breast feathers and the fluff conceals
the points. The primaries are very dark
brown or blackish-brown in color; the
inner web of the secondaries is a
blackish-b brown and the outer web is
blackishbrown penciled with light
er brown. The coverts are similar in
color and penciling to the plumage of
the breast. Tail is small, short. and
carried almost horizontally. The tail
is partly concealed by the cushion. In
color the tail is black except the two
Min tail feathers, which are penciled.
Tie tail coverts are penciled same as
breast and body. Thighs are large and
we'll covered with soft feathers; the
feathers on the lower part curve in
ward around the hook and hide the
joint or the outside. The feathering
OF the thighs is of the same shade and
color as that of the body. Shanks are
short aid yellow and heavily covered
with feathers of same color as thighs.
The toes are we'll spread and yellow
in color. the outer and middle toes be-
ing feathered throughout their entire
length.
Black Cochins are much more easily
raised than are either of the above
named varieties. Being of one color,

Keeping Up Calves.

The practice of keeping calves housed
the first summer of their lives is be-
coming more and more general each
year among progressive dairymen and
beef raisers. Those who are endeavor-
ing to find profit in either of those
branches of stock raising are finding
out that protection from heat, flies, and
dried pasture is about the cheapest and
most effective plan to adopt No doubt
one principal reason why more calves
are not housed, says Farmers Advo-
cate, is that it would involve a certain
amount of regular labor in the shape
of chores" which so many object to in
the summer season; but unless we take
a lively, practical, and self-sacrifcing
interest in cur business in these times
we cannot hope to reach the goal Of
greater profits in our business. The
wide-awakc and enterprising competi-
tors who do things because they should
be done and not draw the line at Il
point where an undertaking adds TO or
takes from d little of present personal
comfort, are the ones that wear the
hopeful expression today and declare
that the times are mending. There is
no question i'll the minds Of those who
have tried both plans but that indoor
summering has great advantages over
pasturing after the thir3 week in June.
So far as turning the calves out few
weeks on the fresh pasture before the
heat and flies become harmful is con-
cerned. there can be no great disad-
vantage, provided the calves are not
less than six or seven weeks Old and
the pasture is abundant and of good
quality. Perfect liberty at this time,
along with fresh grass or clover, skim
milk. and a lick of oat chop, oil cake,
or the like. will start the youngsters in
the way to be profitable feed consum-
ers. So long as these favorable condi-
lions exist in the pasture lot there is
no advantage in making changes, but
when the time com es that a cool, dark
stable and mOwn clover or oats aud
tares would give the calves greater
comfort. Just at that time should such
conditions be administered. This is
moro particularly applicable to calves
tha. are to become beefers, because we
wani TO sell for money some time IN
the future every pound of gain our
feed has made and not allow any Of it
to be lost after being once beneath the
skin. With dairy calves rapid develop
,oent. when of a muscular character,
is very important. A stunted animal
is always much less profitable than it
would have been had its growth been
continuous, because its digestion will
be stronger and it will become larger,
better-looking beast, with greater ca
pacity for service.

is my unpleasant duty to call atten-
ton to the presence of an injurious in
sect pest, which is committing great in
jury to the fruit trees in Cambridge
and Somerville, and which has been
mistaken for the Gypsy moth by the
citizens in that locality. / have care
fully examined the caterpillars Of this
insect, sent to me by my assistants on
the Gypsy moth work, and find them to
be a common European species, known
in England by the name Of the Brown
tail moth (euproctis chrysorrhoea),
which is widely distributed in the old
world, and which is very injurious to
fruit and foreign trees. have before me
a copy of the law enacted in Belgium,
many years ago, requiring the land
owners to clear this insect from the
trees and giving the best methods of
accomplishing this work. Similar laws
were enacted in France and other Eu-
ropean countries at a much earlier
date. The insect is now in the cater
pillar state and its destructive capa-
blllties are abundantly shown by the
defoliated pear trees along Somerville
avenue and adjacent streets. The
adult moth is white, with a dense red
dish brown tuft of hair near the end OF
the body, and the wings expand about
one inch and a half. These moths fly
chiefly in the night and lay their eggs
in July in clusters of about 200 or 300
on the under side of the leaves. In
short time the eggs hatch and the
young caterpillars spin compact webs
at the tips of the branches Within
these webs the caterpillars spend the
winter, emerging early in May, when
they commence to feed voraciously on
the foliage. The caterpillars are quite
hairy, dark brown, with row of white
spots along each side. 1 do not know
how this insect came to this country,
but as there are nurseries and green
houses in the immediate vicinity OF
the infested area, where foreign plants
have been handled to a considerable
extent, it is quite possible that the pest
may have been imported on some OF
this stock I would advise the owners
of infested trees to spray them with
Paris green in water in proportion OF
one pound to $50 gallons, or, what will
be more effective, with arsenate of lead,
in the proportion of five pounds to 100.
The Massachusetts Gypsy moth COM
mittee held a meeting to consider the
best way of dealing with the enw enc
my, but not much can be done now be-
cause all the funds of the committee
were appropriated exclusively fox
fighting the gypsy moth. Possibly an
effort will be made to get a special APP
in order to attack the in
vaders at the earliest possible moment,
but on account of the lateness of the /
session, if for no other reason, the task |
Of putting a bill through is acknowl-
edged to be difficult.

The Profit in Poultry.

The farmer who despises the hens is
making a big mistake, no matter if he
is a big grain farmer or big stockman,
writes D. A. N. in COlman's Rural
World. Appearances are deceitful, and
the last few years, yes, for many years,
the breeder OF fowls has made indefi-
nitely more money for the amount of
money, care and thought he has put
into his business than some of his
more pretentious brethren. 1 do not
see that the prices Of fresh eggs and
market poultry have fallen much for
the average Of the year, notwithstand-
ing the low price of corn and oats.
Western farmers had better convert
more of this grain into poultry prod
ucts. Manufacture the raw grain into
the finished poultry commodities. Man
ufactured articles naturally bring
larger prices than the cruder products.
The great point in producing poultry
products for critical city markets is to
raise the best. A poor article always
disappoints both buyer and seller.
Away with dunghill fowls. Breed the
variety of poultry that best fits the
purpose you have in view. Plymouth
Rocks and Wyandottes are superb
breeds to cultivate Tor market poultry.
Leghorns are fine layers, but of small
value for cooking in a pot. The Amer
lean Wyandotte Of a healthy strain
doubtless comes as near a good layer
and fine market bird as any single
breed. If man is to make a special
ty of giving the market fresh eggs,
let him be sure the eggs are fresh, and
that they reach the market fresh. If
he sells dressed fowls, let him be sure
they are fat, plump and well dressed.
In this way trade will srow on ones
hands.
