than anything else, and birds that
make the best broilers and lay the
maximum number of eggs are certain
ly worthy of our attention. This
brings one to the question whether we
will ever be able to develop new
breeds or improve the present ones, so
that they will excel anything in exist
ence today. There are those who think
we have developed the hen as far as
possible as a laying machine, and that
we will never be able to go beyond our
present attachments. This is hardly
to be accepted as a true Interpretation
Of present conditions. By crossing and
high feeding and good care we will un-
doubtedly make progress never yet
dreamed of. Otherwise we would
have to assume that we have attained
to perfection, which will never happen.

Broilers and Roasters.

Sometimes fashion determines the
profitable success of a breed of fowls
fully as much as any inherent quail
ties of the birds. It does not pay to
force particular breed ON the market.
If the breed is not in demand it is bet
ter to leave it alone, and raise breed
that is fashionable In this case the
public makes it's selection, and the
poultryman has nothing to do but to
follow. It is true that the public of
ten makes a mistake, and estimates a
particular breed far above it's merits.
But here again the question is one that
does not concern the breeder Raise
what the public demands, and you will
be more apt to make money than by
following your own inclinations. Many
old breeders can remember when the
black Spanish fowls were very popu-
lar, and the breeder of Plymouth
Rocks or WyandOttes could hardly find
purchaser for his stock. Then the
American Dominiques came into fash
ion, and the rage was all for this
breed. But, like the first, these birds
had their day and they have passed
out of popular notice, and the Ply
mouth Rocks and Wyandottes and
Minorcas are in demand. These are
the profitable breeds today; they have
great merits, too, Independent of any
fashion, and the breeders would hate
to see them go out of vogue unless
something better was developed.
There more money made today in
raising broilers or roasters for market

Oversupp1y of Poultry.

Overproduction of poultry and eggs
is possibility, but that such has at
any time occurred is doubtful. The
fear that the market may be over
stocked has deferred some from ven
turing largely in poultry, but such
fears have never been realized. 1t is
not unusual to find the market full at
times not only Of poultry and eggs, but
of all kinds of produce, though there
is great difference in quality. It has
been said of butter that there was no
good or bad. If not of the best quail
ity it was of no value, and if hut little
inferior to the best there was no place
whatever for it. Such may be said OF
eggs also, and it may be extended to
poultry.
Quality regulates the prices. y diff
ference of only cent pound on poul-
try or a dozen eggs seems insignificant,
but when large business is conduct
ed the difference is great AS long as
there are several prices for the prod
ucts the market is overstOcked with
the lowest priced articles only. Tile
best will be in demand and will sell
for all it is worth, but the term "best"
means a great deal, for it includes ev
erything pertaining to superiority.

must take the bird at once away from

warm place, perfectly dry and free

which has been cured Of roup should
be secluded for few days after recov-

Diseases of Poultry.

ed by either cold, wet, want of clean
liness, bad feeding; in other words, by
neglect. 1t is easier to guard against
this than to cure birds, which is al
ways very unsatisfactory. The chief
obstacle is that being covered with
feathers, there are few symptoms to OBJ
serve; and as the poor dumbbirds can
not tell what is the matter with them,
we have often to prescribe by chance.
A bird that is ill will sit with it's feath-
ers ruff1ed, comb black, no appetite,
listless and dull in manner. These,
however, may be caused by many diff
ferent complaints, and more special
symptoms are hard to discover, see
ing that we can hardly feel it's pulse,
and it's skin is difficult to examine.
toring, but with valuable birds the
case is different. It is chiefly ON their
account that / will endeavOr to explain
as far as I have been able to learn,
about poultry diseases. There can be
no doubt that a certain percentage Of
death amongst fowls IS an actual ben
eft. Fowls, like everything else, must
die sometime, and it seldom happens
that the cause of death will be mere
old age. A certain proportion of loss,
therefore, is not necessarily a proof Of
mismanagement but is rather a part
of the economy of tne Great Ruler
above, 10y which creatures no longer
really capable of maintaining the Wig
or Of the species are taken from the
world to make room for healthier and
more vigorous specimens. AS it was
we'll put by writer in one of the
poultry journals, ''The sure eye of
Nature has picked out the very ones
that you would be glad to be rid Of
could you have detected them, and has
left you the harder birds to breed
from; the weakness, moreover, often
failing to show itself" There are,
however, many cases in which expos
ure OF some other active cause has Oc-
casioned acute disease in the most
healthy birds, when the symptoms are
quite evident. Such are mostly amena-
BILE to judiciOuS treatment and birds
of value may thus be saved, which
otherwise would have been lost to the
amateur. Between the small group OF
such plainly marked diseases as roup,
and the many instances in which the
symptoms are utterly obscure and re-
cOvery must be left to the natural
powers of the bird, aided by such
nursing and regimen as will appear
best, is a large class Of cases in which
partial ground for guidance is afford
ed by some one or more symptoms or
a marked character. In these cases
treatment may be sudden or acute
character; but chronic symptoms usu-
ally betray constitutional weakness,
and are not only difficult to deal with,
but even in the interests of the breed
er it is far better to kill them Off ana
thus put them out Of their pain. [
