"What IL the breed to keepP
How often do we hear this question
askedl We really believe it is the
commonest phrase known to poultry
dom, and the most vague.
The practical breeder, the breeder
for business and dollars and cents, has
made up his mind long ago and keeps
the breed from which he can derive
the most profit. He does not ask this
question; but the amateur who contem-
plates IT ising chickens invariably starTs
of with this we'll worn question. 1t
would be much better for him il he
asked himself first what he kDe&RbouE
the poultry business. We think it
would be quite as difficult for him to
ansWe this question as the former one.
It seems 80 strange that beginners
consider raising chickens, and the poul
try business in general 80 easy I We
do not recall a successful breeder who
ever considered it easy. OF course,
nearly all of these have commenced in
a small way and gradually experI
menred with different breeds, and
finally have settled on the one they
could handle 20 the best advantage.
The beginner is right in Wishing to
profit b! the expt rience of others, but
1t is rather a short cut TO succeGs, and
very seldom turns out as he anticipates
Breeds are divided into classes be
cause of the similarity in their charac-
teristIcs For example, we will take
the Mediterranean, consisting of the
Leghorns, MlnorCas, Andalusians and
Spanish.
Here are four breeds of like nature
and habits, IT curing about the same
kind Of r and management. On
the other hand, we find the Asiatics,
consisting of BrAhmas Oochins and
Langshsns, requiring entirely different
care and management.
From this we a easily see that 1t is
not a question 80 much of choosing the
breed to keep, as it ls knowing how to
care for and manage them If kept.
Instead of the beginner asking what
is the best breed to keep, it we're better
if he understood de f1nitely himself
what he wished the breed TO do, and
then, after making the selection, etudy

TO it's possibilities.
The answer, therefore, to the ques
ton is naturally, What do you wish

THE DAIRY.
DAIRY CROPS.

Correspondence Of the Progressive Farmer.
By all ODDS the mo helpful crop the
dairyman can grow to supplement-
grass and hay is corn. We have been
slow to recognize this fact, but necessity
often opens our eyes to which we might
otherwise remain blind. Never within
the recolls ction OF old dairy men have
the meadows and pastures OF this
n been in such bad condition as
have for the past few years. This Is
due to the intense droughts which
have prevailed during those seasons,
killing the grass rOots and ~preventlnga
good ca,cn Of seed, added to open
winters / n which the tender roots have
lain pare subject to the terrible effect
of the severe frosts.
In this dilemma We have turned to
COZ as the only hope of salvation.
The result has been a complete over
turning Of past methods. Last year
for the fret time l put In a good crop
Of corn, foreseeing a light grass crop
lay It the bottom of my decision. l
used our State corn for seed and put it
In with a planter three feet apart and
six inches apart in the rows. As far
as it went, / used my own barnyard
fertilizer; when that failed | used com
mercIRl fertilizer mixed about hall
and half with land plaster, using about
four hundred pounds per acre. As
soon as the rows could be seen I began
cultivating and kept it up until the
plants were too large for longer tiliing.
The result was q grand crop of corn.
/ cut it just when the ears we're begin
ming to glaze and husked the largest
ears, leaving the small ones to go with
the stalks. l had @ very fine lot of
good corn in that way.
When the pastures began to fail /
commenced cutting the stalks to feed
green; and all the past winter l have
fed my COWS two rations per day OF cut
stalks. with hay at noon. The ars
husked from these stalks I have had
ground, cob and all, and fed with the
cut corn, and am now adding bran and
other milk producing grains as my
COWS are coming into milk. Ny hay
NOW still shows a good balance on the
right side, whereas men who did not
put in corn are buying hay at round
prices or relying upon mill feeds TO
get through. This is what corn has
done for me. l shall hereafter rely
upon it more than ever in the past.

The CREAM.

Time is required to prove the value
Of a dairy COW.
The constituents of milk have not a
constant ratio TO each other.
Pedigree is full of promise but it will
not give milk or make butter.
1t Is claimed that g~llt-edged butter
cannot be made when the COWS are fed
large quantities of cotton seed meal.
In a good dairy COW the udder should
be large and cspacious, but is should
not be h=shy.
Equal parts Of kerosene and beef
sue5, If applied warm, will usually
cure caked bag in a COW.
A COW that is beaten or worried will
not milk well and her milk will not
make good butter.
Good butter has it's distinctive aroma
and peculiar golden color not found IN
q poorly made article.
In too many dairy houses the tenn
perature, either warm or cold Is allowed
to go to extremes.
A little corn meal and bran given
the COWS daily, even when they are in
good pasturage, will be found Denef
cial.
To a more or less extent, the older a
COW gets after she passes her prime
feed it requires to keep her in a good,
thrifty condition.
In buying COWS for the dairy il is
most profitable as a rule TO obtain
those with their second or third calves.
One of the worst enemies of the
dairy interest is the class of butter
make re- that are too ignorant or careless
to make butter fit to eat.-Pa. Farmer.

THR DAIRY

1t is one thing to ''go into dairying"
and another to make it profitable
Profitable dairying is naturally di-
vIdsd into two parts:
FIrst-The production Of the great
est possible amount of the valuable
milk constituents at the least cost.
Second-The conversion of these
constituents into high selling products
with the least loss. The most valuable
constituent of milk is butter fat. The
intelligent dairy man is the last to feel
the effects of hard times and the best
prepared to meet them. People want
what he produces. He utilIEes raw
material and sells a flushed product,
consequently the fertility of his farm
is increased rather than diminished. -

a central stations from skimming sta,
tions scattered over a large section of
the country. But this exception only
proves the rule, Dairying brings in a
constant income. The man who sells
crops of any kind has to wait until he
can market his product once a year.
There Is little satisfaction in this. It
is unbusinesslike to go without cash
fifty n weeks and then have a lot of
money come in at one time. The dairy.
man has an income nearly or quite
fifty weeks in the year.-Western

1t ia important that the COWS be
regularly sailed at least twice a week.
If they have salt before them all the
time they will not eat more than is
good for them. This regular sailing
not only increases, milk yield, but also
makes it of better quality. Where
COWS are sailed regularly their milk
will keep sWee "a hours longer than
will milk from COWS that have suffered
for lack of salt.

Berlin, the capital of the kingdom of

Is another OK those misguided cities
according to the partisan idea Of
municipal government that long since
decided to eliminate politics from local
affairs and make fitness the sole quail

reports recently published show sur
plus OF something over eight million
marks, or more than two million dol
lars. This vast sum represents the
saving in almost every one OF the DIFF
ferent departments-in scarcely sin
gle instance was the amount allotted
entirely expended. The novelty Of
such a report win be appreciated by

where not only the departments but

Wits and their resources end to
find money with which to keep the ma
chine moving.
But in Berlin the officials have no
partisan friends to reward at public
expense, and no ward heelers to sup
port at the public crib. which makes
all the difference in the world. Yet
there are parties here at home who

taxpayers into believing, that reform

addition of an agreement to divide the

cumbrous definitions the meaning OF
the word may be derived. and as
thus defined it may he made
to furnish the explanation ana
the cause of a tremendous amount
of litigation in our own and other
parts OF the world. A decision recent
~ handed down by the United states
Supreme Court Is of vital interest ana
of wholesome value Oh the subject
That high tribunal holds that an agree
ment by an attorney at law to prosecute

land in which he personally has ana
claims no title or interest, present or
contingent, in consideration Of receiv-
ing a certain proportion OF what he
may recover. is contrary to public poll
cy. unlawful and void as tending to
stir up baseless litigation; that deed
expressing such n champertous agree

and that the joinder of another as CO.
trustee with an attorney cannot give
1t validity. This decision was rem
