BLACK ENGLISH ORPINTON.

are rather smaller than might be
hoped for from the union of such
blood. Formerly the shape of the
Orpington, as preferred in England,
was much like that of the Dorking,
but in a recent letter from Mr.. Lewis
Wright, of England, he states that
the proper form is such as we have
illustrated in this paper, and the
long body like that of the Dorking
is discouraged by English experts.
The proper type for the Orpington
is broad and massive body on short
legs. They should have close and not
loose or fluffy plumage. They should
have white skin and of the type
that produces Buff Plymouth Rocks.
Buff Orpingtons and Buff Wyan-
dottes all from the same stock,
should be driven out. If we are to
have Orpingtons in this country they
should be constrained within the
bounds of good Orpington shape and
not allowed to drift along from the
shape of a Dorking to the Cochin
shape, just as they may come.
AS stated above, the proper Or
pington shape is shown by the illus
tration as we present it from the
English artist, Mr.. Ludlow. The fe-
male is shaped something like Bra
ma without cushion or fluff, the male
something like a low set, full-breast-
ed Cochin with close plumage.

NEW MONEY FOR OLD.
A Prominent London Bankers Co1Iec-
ton of Historical and Curious
BanknOtes.

On Aladdin's principle of giving
new lamps for old, Mr.. Moberly Phil
lips, an associate of the Institute of
Bankers, is preparing at any time to
give, new notes, or their equivalent in
gold, for old notes which have some
interesting history attached to them,
says the London Chronicle. Mr.. Phil
lips is the only collector of bank
notes in the country, and probably
out of it, and his collection amounts
to 500, more or less. Some of the
more valuable of his specimens he
exhibited the other evening at a
meeting of the Institute of Bankers
in the London institution. One of the
most interesting was note issued
by Maj. Gen. Baden-Powell during the
siege of Mafeking. 1t is numbered
766, dated March, 1900, and printed
in green ink on an obviously primi-
tive machine. Another, with, if pos
sible, still more fascinating history,
was currency note, with Arabic let
tering, printed by Gen. Gordon when
he was besieged in Khartoum. Of
Bank of England notes, Mr.. Phillips
has specimens of the face value of
one pound not unlike in appearance
the Scotch 2O-shilling notes of the
present day.
In times of emergency, when coin
was scarce, paper money of as low
value as five shillings was issued
by traders. But there has been a
lower depth even than this, cards and
paper tickets having been resorted to
in some places for as small a sum as
one shilling. Another interesting
special issue, shown by Mr.. Phillips,
was that of the Birmingham work
house. These notes were circulated
by the overseers for various small
amounts, ''for the convenience Of
paying the poor" and payment was
made when eight two-shilling six
pence or four five-shilling notes were
brought together. In one corner
piece of these notes is a picture of
Charity nursing young children. AS
showing the length of time during
which notes may remain in currency.
Mr.. Phillips mentioned that he had
Scotch note for e12, dated 1871,
and the bank which issued it offered
to change it for him. Being a col
lector, Mr.. Phillips preferred to keep
his ancient bit of paper.
In the matter of diminutive bank
notes correspondent sends an ac-
count of curious note which he has
in his possession. 1t is card meas
uring two by two and one-half inches,
on one side of which is twice printed
the word ''twopence," while on the
other side the sum is printed in
words and figures around the border.
In the middle is the following: 81
promise to pay the bearer, on de-
mand, twopence. By order of the
Corporation of the City of New York,
Feb. &c, 179O.-D. Phoenix, City Treas
urer."

THE ENGLISH ORPINGTON.
An Excellent Breed of Large, Low
Set and Heavy Fowls, Very Pop
uIar Across the Water.

The Orpington is an English bred
fowl which is gaining fair foot
hold in this country. They are bred
in several colors with both single
and rose or double combs. So far,
the black and buff-colored Orping-
tons with single combs have been in
favor with the people of this coun-
try. An Orpington club has been
formed in their interest, and we may
expect to see them gain in favor, as
they are quite desirable as table
poultry.
Having come from the union of
Minorca, black sport from Plym-
outh Rocks and Black Langshan
blood, they are rather large, low set
and heavy in body-inclined to be-
come fat when fully fed. They are
good egg producers, but their eggs

NOTES FOR BEEKEEPERS.

If honey is overheated both color
and transparency is injured.
Keep bees TO make your own
honey. Begin with a few hives.
Strong colonies protect themselves
against robbers and bee moths.
1t is quite an item to breed the
hive full of bees just before winter.
Never leave a newly-hived swarm
near the place where it clustered.
Bees generally require about 80
pounds of honey on which to winter.
Thick, well-ripened honey will not
granulate so readily as that which is
thin.
In rendering beeswax use a tin,
brass or copper vessel. An iron one
will darken it.
It is a good plan to do what feed
Ing is necessary at night, so as not
to excite robbing.
A little pine tar smeared on a
board and put next the hive will
drive away ants.
In making candy to feed to bees
be careful not to burn it. Burnt
candy will kill bees.
In cold weather when bees are
quiet is when they are doing best;
do not disturb them.
There are three personages in the
beehive proper-the queen, the work
er bee and the drone.
Unite week colonies and their
stores. They will winter better to-
gether than separately.
Besides loosing its beauty and fine
appearance, honey kept in a cellar
gets watery and it's flavor is lost

DOMESTIC WATER FOWL.
Raising of Geese and Ducks, when
Scientifically Conducted, Pays
Good Profits.

In no line of poultry raising can
there be more profit than in the
handling of geese and ducks. They
are very hardy naturally, and adapt
themselves to almost any condition
of climate, and thus give large adj
vantage for their successful breed
ing over the ordinary farmyard fowls
A good place for keeping water
fowls is oftentimes not a good place
for keeping anything else in the way
of poultry. A creek bottom or the
ponds of a lake or artificial ponds
made for fish are well adapted for
keeping ducks and geese. 1t is true
that ducks and geese may be raised
where there is no water for them to
swim in, but this is the unnatural
method of raising these fowls, and
they do not do so well as where they
can satisfy their natural inclinations
by bath and swim in pond or lake.
There is always a good demand in
the markets for the domestic water
fowl; choice young stock always
bring good remunerative prices. OF
course, they are in measure sea-
sonable, and this is no disadvantage
to the produce-it gives you time to
breed and grow them. Ducks are
great egg producers and are profit
able in this way. They also have a
value in their feathers, which gives
them threefold value, eggs, feath-
ers and meat. The goose is a great
feather producer, and will always be
called upon to supply this produces
to a greater or less nXtent.
When properly prepared, it is as
tonishing how many ducks and geese
can be kept on a few acres of land
with good water advantages. OF
course, there are drawbacks to this
business, if one permits them to
creep in, such as allowing loss by
wild animals that incline to harbor
about streams, mink. muskrats, etc.
These obstacles are to be found in
the poultry raising business, and
must be removed. In no line of live
stock business do you find a clear,
open road to success. An ever watch
full eye must be kept on the flock,
to see that enemies and disease are
warded off. and success will certain
ly follow intelligent, diligent efforts.

Strive the undersigned settlers in

beg to submit the following letter. We
came from Springfield, Bonhomme
County, S. Dakota, in the spring of 1899
and settled where we now reside. We
had considerable crop last year we
put in on breaking, and it was very
good, and this year 1900 our crop is
excellent. Our wheat will yield about
twenty bushels to the acre, the oats
and barley are also very good, and
our potatoes and root crop all that
could be desired. We consider this a
fine country, and are glad we came, as
our prospects could not be better. A
poor man will get start in this coun.
try much quicker than in Dakota.

which covers the brood chamber, adj
uniting only the worker bees to the
super; 4, brood chamber; S, wedges
of wood one inch deep in front, grad
ually tapering to a point at the
back. These are used in summer to
allow ventilation, and they also raise
the front of the hive SO as to induce
the bees to go up the side walls of
the hive and the brood combs near
the back of the hive; 6, floor projects

set on two sides of the super as
shown in position. 1t is one-eighth
of an inch thick and has three-eighth
inch holes, through which the bees
pass to the sections; 10, section in
position, resting on T tins IL and
against a divider. The section is
filled with light foundation of good
quality within three-siXteenths of an
inch of the bottom. With sections
fitted with foundation in this way
the bees fill them evenly; II, bee
space of five-sixteenths of an inch,
created by six blocks numbered 10
on divider No. 9. The advantage of
the extra bee space at the sides Of
the super is to allow for a double
quantity of bees to keep up neces-
sary animal heat, which is advanta-
geous to the finishing up and cap
ping the combs in the sections.

Dry-Picking for Market.

When dry-picking turkeys or other
poultry for market be careful to re-
move the pin-feathers. The carcasses
are "plumped" by throwing them into
tce-cold water, allowing them to re-
main in the water four or five hours
or longer, then hanging them up, heads
down, to drip and dry, keeping them in
a cool place. Do not scald dry-picked
birds. While the dry-picking method
gives the birds the best appearance for
market, for home use the best and
easiest mode is to quickly scald them,
then remove the feathers, and also the
entrails. If pumped it should be
done before drawing the entrails. The
scalding process cleans the skin and
also saves labor.-Farm and Fireside.
