tho poor layers and give the good lay
ers a chance to yield favorable profit.
One method of wedding out the poor
performers is by taking careful note
of form and outward characteristics.
A person with a little experience can
soon learn to pick out the poorest lay
ers in flock. AS there is a "dairy
FORM which nearly all the greatest
of dairy COWS possess, so there is an
egg type" which is, as rule, pos
sessed by hens that make the best rec
ord as layers. Just what the "egg
type" is may be a matter of some dis
pute as to minor points, but good poul-
try opinion has agreed upon essential
points-points which I have tried to
reproduce in the accompanying out
line of a prolific laying hen. Such a
bird must have a long body, which
should be deep in the postericr part.
The tail should be carried we'll up, the
neck should be medium long. the head
not too large, and the eyes bright. l
am OF the opinion that good layers
nearly always have large, or medium
large, combs, and these are bright
red. A hen with a pale, shrivelled cont
is never a good layer. A prolific lay
ing hen, moreover, almost always
shows great activity-even in the case
OF the larger and more sluggish breeds.
In the latter case the good. layer will
not hustle about like the Leghorn, but
will be found, however, "keeping
everlanstingly at it, searching for
bugs and worms if on free range, or
for grain in the litter if confined,
though much, of course, depends upon
judicious feeding in either, or any
case. Profitable fowls can as certain
" be picked out by the eye as can
profitable dairy cows; and while hen
that has the egg type" and other en-
ternal marks of being profitable fowl
may sometimes turn out to be a poor
layer, as cows with fine dairy form
sometimes prove disappointing at the
pail and churn, yet these will be found
the exceptions that prove the rule.
And in this connection it may be
stated that the easiest way to get
uniformity of egg type" fowls is to
breed thoroughbreds that for genera
tions have been bred for prolific lay
ing qualities. Some of our prolific lay
ing breeds, as the Leghorns, the Ply
mouth Rocks and the Light Brahmas,
are very uniformly of this type, and
in selecting breeders year after year
this form should constantly be kept in
mind Weed out the unproductive
birds and give the others a chance to
show the desirable proit--N. Y. Trib-

az the 'Dairy Form" Ii in
Milk Cows.

Dairymen have long ago found out
that theymust breed to a certain form.
in order to increase the certainty of
securing productive dairy animals;
but with the great bulk of those who
keep fowls for profit "a hen is hen,"
whatever her shape or her external
characteristics. Poultry is unprofita-
bic to many, ard of only small profit to
very many others, for the simple rea-
son that from one-third to two-thirds
of the flock consists of inferior layers.
The good layers in the flock may be
able to support the others and pay a
small profit, or they may not be in suf-
ficient numbers to cause any profit at
all to appear. Just as the dairyman
weeds out the poor performers at the
pail, so the poultryman must weed out

FOR COOKING FEED.
Description of a Kettle Which Has
Proved a Perfect Success and In
Not Patented.

I have a kettle set in a sheet iron
Jacket which is very handy for cook
ing feed for the hens. It was set in the
basement part of our two-story hen
house, on the ground, as it has no
CRATES or bottom. The steam would
fill the room and wet the walls "wring-
ing wet" I disliked to put it some
where else, as I do not like to carry
stuff, and must save all the steps can.
After some study tried cover rugged
as shown in the cut. A tin cover was
made to fit the top and two-inch pipe
attached to it and the stovepipe. A

AMONG THE POULTRY.

Sunfower seed improves the gloss OF
the plumage.
Introduce new blood among the poul-
try once year.
Give lime for growth of bone and fo1
eggshell material.
Buckwheat, oatmeal and milk are
good for laying hens.
A little cayenne pepper in the food
often stimulates laying.
Good leghorn hens may be kept until
they are five years old.
The usual causes of roup are cold,
dampness and exposure.
A laying hen should have her food
and drink at regular intervals.
Do not winter late pullets that have
failed to make a good growth.
If the hens show an inclination to
pull feathers, feed them salt pork.
It is essential that confined fowls be
supplied with plenty of gravel.
Corn is fattening food, but can
nearly always be given atnight to good
advantage.
Intelligent management and feeding
ere as necessary with chickens as with
other stock.
The best geese for feathers are The
Embden, for the reason that they are
entirely white.
Cornmeal fed to poultry will be the
better if mixed with boiling water
which partly cooks it.
To bring the best prices, turkeys
should be fed all the corn they will cal
for ten days before marketing.
Common sand is poor substitute fol
gravel. 1t is neither coarse enough no1
sharp enough to answer the purpose.

THE MAJORS EXPERIENCE.

From the Detroit Free Press.
One of the stanchest supporters of the
deep-water way from the Great Lakes to the
ocean is Major A. G. Bishop, of us Third
Ave-, Detroit, civil engineer of wide expe
rienee and considerable prominence in his
profession. He was assistant engineer on the
Hudson River Railroad in 1850 and has
tons. He has been located in Detroit, since
1915, and has large acquaintance among the
business men and citizens of this city.
Two years ago, for the first time, Major
Bishop was in the hospital. For two months
he had the best of medical attendance, but

Cutting OF the Comb.

In cold climates, where the combs of
the fowls are sometimes frosted in the
winter season, it may be advisable to
dub the cockerels when they are bout
three months old. This is done by US
ing sharp shears or a razor. Cut off
the combs and wattles, close to the
heads and sprinkle powdered alum on
the. surfaces. It is apparently cruel,
and is not to be recommended except
when there is a liability Of frosted
coHbs, which are more painful than
the clubbing American Gardening.

piece was made to slip over the rest
so the cover can be taken off easily.
Even when the coveris not down square
no steam comes out into the room. It
is a perfect success and not patented.
The capacity of the kettle is increased
nearly a bushe1, as the potatoes will
cook in the steam at the top sooner
than in the boiling water below.-C. E.

notify the sheriff and a doctor as soon a.
the shooting occurred.
Mrs Miller testified TO practically the
some facts as her husband.
De5idsriO and Luis AragOn, aged i3
aud 10 years respectively, testified that
they saw Ruiz and DonacianO Garcia
come riding along on horseback on the
day that the killing occurred. The for
mer had revolver and was quite intOxi.
Gated. When they came up TO the place
where the two little sisters OF the wit.
nesses were playing, Garcia told Ruiz
10 shoot them. The latter snapped his
pistol at them but IT did no: go of. A
little further down the road Garcia again
told Ruiz TO shoot into a group OF chil-
dren at play. He did so and two shots
were fred, one killing the 0'BannOn boy
and the other grazing the back Of Arturo
