WINTER FEED AND CARR.

Winter morning food for my poultry
consists of equal parts of barley, oats
and pea chop, with about four quarts
Of meat and bone, which I procure
from our town butcher for one half
cent per pound; this I run through a
fourteen dollar bone cutter, after which
1 put it into a water pail with some
scalding water, adding a small handful
of salt; then stir it up well, allowing
the meat to cook a little; then it is
ready for the chop. This is put with
enough water to makef about three
quarters of a pail. 1t is then stirred
again and all is brought to a sloppy
state after which enough bran is added
to transform it all to a stiff paste. A
WATERFALL of this mixture is enough
for one hundred hens. In feeding this,
I favor the pullets by giving them a
a little more than the older hens. If
one cannot procure meat and bone, /
should recommend new or skim milk
to mix with the chop and bran. At
noon my pullets get aboutall the wheat

"Od March % all of these lots we've
planted in burrows, the tubers being
removed carefully from the sand and
planted, entire, in the same position in
which they stood and IA inches apart
in the rows. AS a check against this
a similar parallel row of each sort was
planted of whole tubers selected from
the potatoes stored in the cellar. AS
they grew the sprouted potatoes took
the lead in strength and vigor of tops
from the start, and both lots of whole
seed kept ahead of cut seed of the same
varieties.
"On June 1 the sand.sprouted lots
showed excellent young table potatoes,
while none of the othere were yet fit
for digging, While difficult to judge
precisely of, there seemed to be fully q
week in favor of the sand sprouted
seed"
The yield from the sand sprouted lot
was about Is per cent. greater, or 100
bushels per acre more than from the
others.

ECONOMY IN BUYING SEEDS.

Economy is not paying less money
for a thing than you expected to pay.
True economy is good management,
and about the worst management a
farmer a be guilty of is to buy cheap
seeds and thus cut the value of his
crops in half-or worse. A stream
cannot flow higher than its source, and
a crop cannot be any better than its
seed. Real seed economy is buying
seeds that bear the stamp Of a HOUSE.

STANDARD BREEDS OF FOWLS.
ARTICLE I.
THE ROCKS.

The Plymouth Rock is the most pop
ular of all varieties Of poultry as a gen.
eral purpose fowl. It's medium size,
hardy growth, and good laying quail,
ties make it a practical fowl for the
farm. The Barred variety ia the most
generally known of the Plymouth Rock
classes, and their history dates back a
little over q quarter Of a century.
Various bloods were used in its making,
the belief being general that they orig,
inally came from q eros between the
American Dominique and Black Java.
1t has also been shown that the Light
brahme, Dark Brahma, and Pitt Game
nave been used in their making.
Inc Barred Plymouth Rock is of a

We scarcely know the true value Of

poultry, and those who practice feed
ing it to their flock will say with me
that it is one OF the most nourishing
folders we can give to our laying hens
and growing chicks. A quantity Of
charcoal should also be within reach Of
our fowls at all times. 1t is amusing
to me to watch my pullets wallowing
in their dust bath on a bright, sunny
winter day, and every person who en-,
joys an egg for breakfast from their
own fowl flock should provide this in
MIGRATING treat for them.-London,

saddle feathers than on other portions
of the body. The bird is of medium
size, with broad neck, fiat at the shout
ders, the breast is full, and the body
broad aid compact; medium zed
wings, that fold gracefully, the points
being well covered with breast and
saddle feathers. A medium sized head,
ornamented with upright, bright red
comb and wattles; a large, bright eye
and yellow beak, legs and toes, places
the picture before us in it's entirety.
The difference between the Barred and
the Pea comb Barred is that the latter
has a small. firm, and even pea comb,
instead Of single comb.
For the farmer or market poultry
man they are f~avoritee, being of medi.
um size, wellproportioned, with a
deep, full breast, making a most adj
mirable bird for market purposes.
They r hardy, mature early, and
make excellent broilers from eight to
twelve weeks old They are good lay
ers the year round, and in winter they
lay exceptionally well. Their eggs are
brown in color and average 8 to a
pound. They are good sitters and ex
cellent mothers.
The Barred Plymouth Rock, besides
being a practical fowl, is also of
the most sought after by fanciers. No
class is better filled at the average pouT
try show OF the country than is theirs.
Their graceful shape, general outlines,
and qualities r the same in the other
varieties as in the Barred. The White
Plymouth Rock is pure white in
plumage throughout, and the Buff
variety is clear buff, uniform in shade
except the tail, which is deep buff or
copperish brown.
The standard weight of cocks is 81
pounds; hens, u pounds; cockrels, s
pounds; and pullets. 81 pounds.

a WORD BY H WAY.

Raising chickens and telling others
how to raise them, are altogether two
separate and distinct things.
Notwithstanding the fact that l have
had considerable experience in the
breeding of thoroughbred fowls, and
succeeded fairly well, I have long since
discovered that I do not know it all, "
and that there is yet lots to learn. How
ever, as l have been requested to take
charge of this department of THE Pro
GREssIvE FARMER. 1 will do so, hoping
that I may succeed in making it not
only interesting, but beneficial to its
many readers.
AS every one knows, there is quite a
difference between theory and practice.
Therefore, what I may say in regard to
foWls-their general care and manage
ment-wiIl be based principally upon
practical experience and not theoreti,
cal knowledge.
For the benefit of those who are not
familiar with the standard varieties of
fowls, l will begin by devoting, each
week, a portion of the space allowed
me to one of the many breeds, giving
their origin, history and general prac
ticability.

BARRING IN PLYMOUTH ROCKS

We note in Fanciers' Gazette that B.
N. Pierce says that 1.-The term Blue
Barred Plymouth Rocks is simply rub,
bish, and that the colors Of the Barred
Plymouth Rocks are "black bars and
white bars" While this is technically
true, yet all must admit that the inter
mingling of these black bars aud white
bars in the proper proportion produces
a blush, tinged plumage so much ad-
mired, and we see no reason why the
standard should be changed in its
wording from a blue black to simply
black, when the present wording has a
tendency to keep them of that clear
type of barring so much admired by
niRo tenths of the breeders and friends
Of this variety, instead Of running to
a dull, rigid black cast, with a ten
dency to a smutty black-almost brown
and very repulsive to our best breed
ers. However, for the sake of making
the standard as correct in it's wording
as possible, I would not object to using
the word black in describing the dark
bars, providing they would follow the
description with the words producing
a blush tinge or effect in the plumage,
and thus keep breedersEon their guard
against the dirty colored specimens &C
Common in most breeders yards.-F.

tion 20 on In Cuba with scarcely q
protest against 1t.
After time, Mr.. President, there
came a quickened public sentiment
and a demand that something be
done; and we all remember how the
peace-at-any.price men skirmished for
delay-delay until the people Of Cuba
could be compelled to assume a $780,.
100000 Understanding obligation.
When that did not succeed, the peace
at-any.price men fell in and put them.
selves at the head of the procession,
and they have been running the war
since then.
Mr.. President, when will the war
terminate? Ii itcloses when the bond
and franchise syndicate determines it
shall, it will close only when they
force from the remnants Of the peo.
pie Of Cuba and the other islands
financial conditions which will satisfy
them: and it will not terminate sooner
than that unless there is a popular
uprising that cannot be resisted. Sc
we are marching under the gold
standard today, II at all, and our feet:
are sailing under the standard o. the
peace at-any.price men. Every inter
est of our country, even thu
patriotism Of the country, must he
coined into obligations bearing inter.
est when there is not the slightest
necessity for 1t.

as soon as the Hanna administration
secured the passage Of the joint
resolution against Spain for congress,
Its alleged unuillingness to involve
the country in war disappeared. 1t
Immediately fired on Spanish lumber

be declared. Having thus made
assurance doubly sure and taken a

ness of purpose. Within two or three
days after Manila fell supplies and
ammunition should have been started
to Dewey, the gunbout Monterey dis
patched and within ten days or two
weeks thereafter ten thousand or
mOre men should have been on the

otherwise we do not know what we
are talking about. The Oregon should
not have been brought to this side.
There has not been a man landed Oh
the soil Of Cuba yet. In the mean
time Blinco has concentrated his
defences. Now II only twenty five or
thirty thousand men are, after all, to
be landed In Cuba TO cooperate with
the insurgents and with the navy in
destroying Havana, why were not the
twenty-five thousand regulars landed
in Cuba cOincident with the declara.
ton Of war, and with SIMPSONS
arrival at Key West? Twenty-Five
thousand regulars in the cooler days
of the first week of May would have
been worth seventy.1ye thousand raw
recruits in the middle Of summer so
far as aiding the navy IN the reduction
OF the capital Of Cuba. Nothing has
been accomplished since Deweys
victory in Manila except the strategic
talk Of the board and Miles grand
staff movement from Washington to
Tampa. The respective lombard
ments Of Matanzas, CardeDas, Cien-

probably not worth the powder spent.
OF course there are thousands of

visiOning and drilling big army OF

and this is a purely naval fight, or
ought to have been, the recruits being
only necessary for manning coast
