AR fbHAb CHICKEN FARM.


!, There. are, perhaps, Lut few people
comparatively. In The South especially,
who appreciate even the present mag
nitude of the poultry industry, or
realize the rapid strides being made In
the Middle South particularly. There
are several large and prosperous farms
in this section devoted exclusively TO
poultry raising managed by expert.
enced and thoroughly capable men,
who devote their entire time and talents
to the industry. One Of the largest and
most complete Of these is Bellvue Farm,
near Memphis, Tenn, owned and
operated by Gen. S. T. Carnes, himself
chicken fsncier.
An ideal chicken farm should consist
OF say so acres of high, well-drained
land. which is large enough to produce
all feed needed, besides affording suf-
ficient room for the breeding and grow
ing of stock. The friendly little Fox
Terrier is necessary, for he wages. such

The White Leghorn is good layer
of large white eggs.
The White Wyandottes, with their
plump bodies, suggest juicy broil@rs.
The Cornish Indian Game is a prize
winner.
The Buff Plymoth Rock, new breed,
is also a prize winner, and rapidly grow
ing in favor. They posses all the good
qualities of their barred cousins; with
with the beautiful buff color of the
Cochin without the latter's feathered
feet and legs.
The Light Brahma is also prize
winper-taking premium at st. Louis
Fair last year. 1t is a handsome bird.
The White Plymoth Rock of the
Rev. Hughes Empire Strain is a beauty,
hardy and a rapid grower.
The Partridge Cochin is delight, per-
feet in shape and color, with exquisite
pencilings of the feathers of the females,
which has been feature a long time and
justifies the name of Point Lace

No poultry farm is complete without
flock of the celebrated Pekin Duck.
They do not require water in order to
thrive. In fact those intended for mar
kct ought never be allowed to swim,
but the breeding stock should be given
them clean, and their plumage in better
shape.
Blood will tell. Even in Barred
Plymoth Rocks like will produce like
when systematically and judiciously
bred. Standard colored cocks matched
with standard colored females, will pro-
duce standard offspring. Therefore,
how important is it to procure the best
strains for breeding purposes.
The industry of poultry raising in the
South is but in its infancy, and the
masses of the people are not yet fully
alive to its Importance. Markets are
sometimes inaccessible, and freight
rates are high on account of distance,
but as the country increases in popula-
ton and development this industry will
take high rank among the profitable
enterprises of the country at no great
distant day.

A Roman nose in horse generally
indicates strong Individuality, often ae-
companied by great intelligence. A
straight facial line is quite often found
with high degree of intelligence, but
dish-faced horse is rarely anything
but nonentity in character, or fool.
A fine muzzle denotes highly nervous
organization, while coarse and large
muzzle, with small and non-expansive
nostrils and bendulous lower lip, means
stupidity. A sensitive and trumpet
shaped nostril means courage and in
telligence, even when, as sometimes, it
also means heaves. A broad and full
forehead, and length from eye to ear,
are good indications of intelligence;
