A good many are already wor-
rying about dry weather. It is
true that the badly blown fields
need rain and it is also true that
there is sufficient moisture in
the ground to carry us two
weeks longer. Another dry year
will only emphasize the fact that
too many eggs in one basket is
not a good policy, that the farmer
who has stock to sell or makes
butter enough to pay his expen-
sses is far more independent than
he who depends on grain alone.
Most farmers have had to go in
debt for their horse feed this
year. One Of our customers tells
us that his cows have fed his.
horses since last fall, quite an
item. A few weeks ago we had
an offer for butter fat contained
in Separator cream. equal to 18cts
a pound for butter, and the offer
reads separator cream we will
pay within Acts a ID Of the price
of New York fancy creamery .
This would mean over an aver
age of 2Octs a pound and no labor

farmers.

place properly support two or
carnations? A general con-
course Of opinion is to the effect
that a Union church would solve
many problems, aud smooth
many difficulties. Can it be ac-
complished?

Breeding Ideal Silver Wyan
dOttes.

Since the year SO, have been
a breeder and a close student Of
the Wyandotte. Sometime ago,
l read Mr.. Babcock's article on
shape, then Mr.. Felch's on size.
and later "Hen Crank" and
Danger, etc, which leads me tos
write the following, which win
surprise some of your readers,
as ] used to head my ads, 10
pound Cocks and eight pound
hens, and have had hens that
weighed over ten pounds each
But after years OF experience
and close observation, | find that
the too large birds are not so
profitable. | do not want to be
understood as wanting the stand
ard weight lowered, but at pres
ent it calls for weight sufficient
to be OF general utility. But to
increase the weight one or two
pounds has a tendency TO make
the birds coarse, and off in shape,
and when we lose shape we lose
the Wyandotte. Let us keep
shape above all. l cannot agree
with our present Standard IN re-
gard to the under color Of the
male of the Silvers; what has
caused our breeders to seek for
English blood, is to obtain open
laced females, especially on the
cushions, to get clean centerss
which we never will perfect with
the slate under color in male.
Were I to start the new strain
and breed for what | consider
will be the future Gamand, the.
open laced, I would take some
Silver females of the true shape
and size, and use a white cock Of
corresponding size and shape,
the female TO have that true me-
talic black; no frosting even with
small centers. I believe that in q,
few years could produce a strain,
in which the lacing would rival

AFFIRMED
The Buckner Insurance Case
From IiOpkinsviIle.
Jury's Last Verdict Of So 500
Stands-A Case With an
Interesting History.

In the United States court of APP
peals at Cincinnati Tuesday, the
case OF Buckuer & Co., of Hopkins
vile, against Merchants Insurance
company, of Newark, N. j., APP
pealed from the federal court at
.Owensboro, was affirmed, says the
Messenger.
This case has quite history.
When IT was originally tried the
jury brought IN a verdict for the
plaintiffs for So 500. Judge Barr
set this aside as excessive and
fixed the amount at $1,000. This
Judgment was appealed and re-
versed. A compromise was then
effected for 81, 500, but the defen-
dant company subsequently repudi-
ated the act of its attorney. John
Marshall, Of Louisville, and had
the case reinstated. On a second
trial the jury rendered verdict for
$500, which was appealed by the
company. On this appeal the
judgment is affirmed and the
verdict of $2,50 stands.
