FANCY AND UTILITY.
Practical Results with Stand
ard Requirements.
From The Baltimore Sun

From Tho Baltimore Sun.
Gradually but surely utility is being more
generally recognized by dyed-in-thc wool
faur.er.s. II is "a good Indication that pure
bred poultry viii ere long be extensively
raised on more farms. The market sup
plies in time win be more uniform in gen
eral appearance and the quality so greatly
superior to ra2or-brcaSted. Crane-shauked
scrubs that higher prices Will generally pre-
vail. When it is known that a farmer can
have plump attractive poultry, which at
the same age as scrubs viii weigh twice as
much ana az no increased cost. why should
he waste time raising unstable scrubs?
yet there are farmers In every state today
who are letting prejudices rob them OF
profit in poultry raising.
In developing utility points In pure-bred
poultry it viii be well to observe due eau
ton. The utility extremist can damage a
breed as soon as the fancier extremist, who
loses sight of all other considerations mere
ly to unduly promote some mere fancy
point. The substantial results of utility
in pure-brcd poultry cannot be attained by
undue forcing. In order to improve or build
up on lines of permanency intelligent Gull
ing must be the Foundations In making
the selections to buil1 up or improve Il flock
the owner should know the breeding of
each specimen selected. Size alone should
not govern selection. for there must 5e
ideal form aimed at. If plump bodies. with
broad breasts and we'll developed round
Thighs are desired it VIII be found that
short legs, necks and backs prevail in such
specimens. Appearance is the leading fac
tor in making sales TO purchasers who are
not thoroughly familiar with quality. In
some sections local ideas prevail to such
an extent that what would readily sell In
other markets viii not sell there.
YclloW-skinned poultry. for instance,
would quickly sell when placed alongside of
the plump CarcasScS of HOudanS, while the
latter would "go begging" for customers
Tho indian games, account of their
shape and long legs. color of skin on the
breast, etc. would hang sale longer than
the Houdans. Were their qualities know,
how quickly would the prejudice against
the color of the skin disappear. Houdans
have more meat for their gross weight
than anv other hreed-CreSSng with less
percentage of offa than any other. Inves-
tigatiOn would also reveal how favOrably
deceiving the carcass of an Indian game IS,
ana whcr the rich meat is sliced. It's depth
and quality, like that of the Houdans,
would be a revelation. There is more util-
ty to the square inch In a single specimen
of either breed named than in five selected
scrubs.
The demand for greater degree of util-
ity is proper regarding many breeds-those.
for instance, that have been pushed near
the danger line for fancy points. There
are, however. a good many breeds that al

We have given our opinion of the above
in tie headline that prece1es this article.
1t is not surprising that Mr.. Gatlin does
not know any better, but II Is somewhat
surprising that one who kncWs nothing
of the subject Should undeca the role
OF instructor. Tie iiea of Il mcrohe so
ing up in the sap and "developnG INTO

fact in the history of insect life is better
established absolutely beyond intelligent
question: than the fact that little beetle
called curculio depoeIts lis eggs in the
young peaches, nestarines and plums ana
that the eggs hatch into the worm that
causes ''wormy fruit" All intelligent fruit

may follow the Matching Of the eggs ana

The worm then (pretty soon) leaves the de-
cdycd fruit goes into the ground ana
changes into pupa, and in the following
spring. when it energies from the earth, a
perfect beetle like its parent, it com
mcnces its work Of laying eggs on the
young fruit. Mr.. Gatlin does not prove
anything, but simply makes doSmatic
assertion. The worm does not always
start from the pits center" but always
starts from the outside, and the original
scar made by the beetle in depoSiting It's
egg is generally observable on the surface
ana by it's presence enables an expert fruit
packer to detect the ''wormy' peaches

nation. How much rough rice and rice

would vary just as much as theyield OF

LIVERPOOL Cotton Market.

A. Lexington. Mis5.-Can you inform me
through your page exactly how American
cotton is sold in Liverpool markets; if there
is u tare deducted either from weight or
price on account of covering?
Answer-We cannot tell you exactly
how American cotton is sold in Liverpool
but are informed by those who should
know that the allowance for "tarc,' as 1t
is called, or the amount deducted on ac-
count of bagging and ties is uniformly 6
per cent. SO it follows that farmer in
blling his cotton for market should en-
deavor to use at least six pounds of bag
ging for every nnety-fOur pounds of net
cotton or thirty pounds for every bale
weighing (Gross) 500 pounds The proper
way would be for the ginner to mark the
actual "tare' on every bale. and the cot
ton Should be priced and sold at so much
per pound, net cotton.
