A great many people object to hiring
or buying residences on the west side
of streets which run north and south.
The reason for their objection is that
more dust and snow seem to accumu-

such streets.

confessed that the STANDARD" does not
encourage any breeder to breed with
view to anything but color of feather
and weight, and that it does not put
any premium on egg production. This
is the weak point in it, and will be until
that is remeded and encouragement is
given to the breeders to look to egg pro-
duction.
As matters now stand, the breeder of
pure-bred fowls is compelled to regard
shape and color before anything else,
and it requires the sacrifice of "Stand-
ard" points sometimes in order to keep
the best layers. AS long as this state of
affairs lasts the "fancier" will be handi-
capped in his work of improving fowls
and producing egg-laying strains. The
pure breeds come into favor because
they are good layers in the first place,
and keep in front because they transmit
this tendency to their progeny, but i'm

ground that wagon may be bacEed
into them when it is desired TO remove
the potatoes.
The cut gives a general idea of their
construction and interior arrangement,
as seen in simple cross-section. Usual
~ these cellars are without walls of
masonry, and are provided with roof
made of poles covered with layer of
hay or straw upon which arc six to
twelve inches of earth. A row of chutes
arranged along each side serves to fill
the bins easily from the wagon; these
are made OF inch lumber, and are about
one foot square in cross-section, pro-
jccting six to eight inches above the
roof. In the crest of the roof there are,
usually, two or more ventila+ors con-
structed in the manner Of the chutes.
The entrance to the cellar, especially
when constructed so as to be entered
with wagon, is provided with double
doors separated by hallway having
a length of six or eight feet, and has
for its object the shutting out of the
frost from in front. When necessary,
potatoes are stored in the driveway as
well as in the bins, the rear of the drive
being filled first.-F. H. King, in Rural

though, and if intended for use as soon

From fad frozen milk has grown to
be more or less of necessity in the
warmer countries in Europe. and some
of the larger dairymen in and about
New York are seriously discussing the
practicability of introducing the Gus

that if the milk should be first frozen
it is Just as impervious to the gathering
of disease germs as Is boiled milk or
water.
Many persons do not take kindly to
the idea of frozen milk. or even pre-
served milk. Fresh milk in cans, they
claim, can be kept fresh for 16 hours.
and if it does not remain sweet for thai
length of time they conclude that the
milk was not fresh when poured into
the cans. or that the cans were no.

THE POULTRY STANDARD.
This Explanation OF How the "Judging"
of Fowls IL Done.

ThS Explanation of How the "Judging"
OF Fowls Is Done.
The american Standard of Perfec.
ton" is book containing list of every
recognized breed of poultry. and of the
varieties of the several breeds. 1t de.
scribes in detail the proper color and
shape of an IDEAL fowl. and gives Ger.
tain value to the shape and plumage in
every part of the body of this ideal fowl.
The body of the fowl is arbitrarily d.
vided into parts, called sections, and
each section is given such value that il
all of them were perfect in shape and
color the total would be 100 points,
which is perfection. As no fowl is ideally
perfect, the sections are given SO high
value that it is altogether improbable
that any fowl will ever be perfect in
every part, and therefore no fowl will
ever reach perfection. Expert judges
are employed to examine poultry
that is exhibited at poultry shows and
good many of the fairs, and they pick.
out the defects and mark them against
the fowls under examination, section
after section, and when this is finished,
the value of the defects is added up and
the total deducted from perfection (l0o),
and the remainder is the score of the
bird. When bird scores less than s.
ii is called disqualified, and cannot be
considered in the awarding of prizes.
The description used in the "Stand-
ard" are copyrighted, and we cannot
use them. but to give you an idea of how
the judging of poultry is done, we will

she was not found wanting, and by her
resolute and determined defense pre-
vented the crimson from doing what
Brown, West Point, Carlisle and Chi
cago had already accomplished. 1t was
as stubbOrt and bitter a battle as was
ever fought. Each play brought every
bit of spirit and power possible into its
inception, and it took the concentrated
efforts of eleven men to stop it. Both
teams fought like men determined that
their opponents should not gain an inch,
and although the contest lacked the
football pyrotechnics and dramatic in
cidents of the old time games, it was a
hard fight from first to last.
The game was unusually devoid of
long brilliant runs and hair-raising
tackles, but the enormous crowd was
kept at the intensest pitch of excite
ment over the final of the game.
The wind was an important factor of
the result. 1t made necessary partial

kicking department did not materialize.

the wind at their backs Houghton very
nearly held his own. At times the Yale
backs made miserable attempts at
punting. Four times they had their
kicks blocked by the Harvard forwards;
once it turned to their own advantage,
but once decidedly to Harvards.
