they should never be crossed. The Buff
Leghorn is the most recent acquisition
to the Mediterranean class. 1t is a
beautiful bird, and one that will win
it's way wherever bred. Buff-colored
birds have many admirers, and those
who have bred them are pronounced in
their praise of their qualities. Besides
having the general characteristics of
the Leghorn type, the Buff Leghorn
cock has rich buff-colored hackle and
saddle, in shade from lemon to CHINA
mon, but of even solid color in keeping
with the rest of the plumage; the back
and wing bow exactly match the plum
age; tail is of the same general tint.

color. especially strong In comb, sobe,
hackle and saddle, a dark undercolor
preferred. To him mate hens OF a
shade darker than standard, with
small. evenly serrated standing combs;
a trifle brick on wings is no objection,
as IL will give a brighter color on wins
bows of the cockerels. Skating on the
back will also help that black stripe
in the saddles. The pullets raised fYom
this pen will be too dark for exhi-
bition. but they will be great help in
breeding cockerels the next season. The
male at the head of the pen mated to
produce the pullets should be from a
pullet strain, and bred directly from
an exhibition hen. His color is a trifie
light. comb large, but evenly serrated;
II thin near the top. all the better;
hackle well striped. but none in saddle;
undercolor Of hackle and saddle may
be light gray or white; wing bows
should show more purple than red, as
too much red shows signs of being bred
from a bricky hen. To him mate exhi-
bition females having light brown pen
ciled with darker brown on back and
wings, all one shade, free from shaft
ing on back and brick on wings. These
hens should have the large comb, lying
over, but firm and strong on the head,
so it does not lie close to the eye and
face. The cockerels raised from this
mating are the birds to use for breeding
females the next year. BY breeding

Chicken Eating Hogs

A chicken catcher in herd of hogs
is most exasperating and expensive,
writes T. L. Irwin in Texas Farm
Journal. One such will soon transform
a whole herd into ravenous chicken
eaters. Being troubled in this way ]
tried the following: A leather blind
wide enough to cover both eyes and
long enough to come well over the face
was cut from an old boot leg. The
chicken thief was then caught. and
pulling the ears forward. the top cor
ners of the blind were fastened to them
by means of pinchers and rings. such
as are put in the shouts of pigs to pre-
vent roofing This blind will NOT nre-
vent the hog from seeing his legitimate
food, but it does prevent him seeing
chickens unless they are under his
very nose, and then if he attempts
pursuit the chances are that he brings
his nose in violent contact with the
fence or some other obstruction. A
few such lessons and he concludes that
he is no longer partial to chicken. A
mouth of leather specs cured our
most ravenous thief, and by binding
only the ring leaders the whole herd
was soon as docile as well behaved
porkers should be.

Advice to Feeders.

Denver Field and Farm says: Anent
the high prices now being paid fol-
stockers and feeders, there is danger
ahead in the steer business. Too many
fellows are putting money in feeders.
Feeders are too high-little old runt
Texas long horns sell for three, fouI
and five and sometimes as b b as six
cents. They will not fill CT, The
men who have theirs on their hands
are going to try to dump them on the
market next fall, and there is going
to be a tumble. Do not get too many
feeders on hand. Stock up your cow
herds; they will keep year after year.
and you can get something out of
them. 1t will pay better at the pres
ent prices to raise calves to sell rather
than to buy them to feed. Cattle are
going to slump. Too many men have
paid too much for their feeders and
they are going to dump them at any
price next fall. The market will be
overlooking. The buyers will have
their own way. Mr.. Cattleman will
get his fingers burned. There will be
an auction sale, and the devil to pay
at ten per cent, with big cattle mort
gage. You fellows think you are
mighty wise. Take FOOLS advice and
go slow. Now is the time to buy cows
and get three-legged stool and a
bucket.

In mating Brown Leghorns opposites
must be considered. Should the male
be fine In all points except comb or leg
select females strong In this point TO
mate with him. The most successful
breeders use a double mating, one pen

Fine birds. both cockerels and pullets,
can be bred from the same pen by using
slightly different types OF females. The
same male often will breed the finest
OF both exhibition cockerels and pull

male breed both sexes Of a remarkable
quality. When two pens are used. at

standard giving for tail a rich, deep
buff or copperish bronze. The remain
der of the plumage is of a slightly
lighter shade, but even in color
throughout, with no semblance to a
patchy or notified plumage. White and
black feathers in plumage are objec-
tionable; solid white or solid black
feathers will disqualify the bird. The
hen is of the same color as the cock.

without water Mr.. Casey could do
nothing but release bis horses and other
live stock and watch the hungry flames
devonr whas they would. All farming

two binders, one wagon and some

barns. The granary contained about
1900 bushels Of oats, all Of which were
lost.
There was no insurance on the prop

On Wednesday evening the people on

the lives Of four or ore individuals.
While the post ambulance was stand
ing In front Of the post once. two dogs
got into afght under the mules fore
feet which frightened them, causing
them 70 jump apart, breaking the pole
straps and letting the end 81 the tongue
Of the vehicle drop on the ground. In
their mad race down the street the
driver displayed much GOODNESS and
akill in keeping the team and vehicle
from running Into the sidewalk or
buildings along the street. While 1t
almost every instant Of their xig rag
route 4 seemed that the occupants OF
the ambulance. Mrs. Hatcman and Mn.
Morrison and little daughter about
seven years old, would be thrown
against the pavement or some building,
Percy Heath ran ont from his barber
shop and grasped the mules by the
bride bits. and with the aid Of the
driver succeeded in stopping them as
the end Of the tongueof the ambulance
ran Into the sidewalk within two feet
Of the wiggett 4 RmBey Co.'S store

In the street.
The ladies were very quiet during
the runaway, Mrs. Morrison keeping
her little girl from crying. that she
might not increase the fright OF the
team, but upon being helped out to The
sidewalk she tainted.
Mr.. Heath was dragged some distance
BY the team. and too much cannot be
said In praise Of his heroic conduct in
ieopardizing his life for the safety Of
others.
