essary for a smokehouse is a room
from the size of an ordinary dry goods
box to that of barn which can be fill

cOnveniences for hanging the articles

the fire is made on a stone slab in the
dug, saya foot deep in the ground, and
in this pit the fire is placed. Some
times a stone slab is placed over the
fire at the height of foot or so.

brick smokehouse, built over a cellar

there is no wood about the structure
except the door, and that may be iron.
The floor of the structure is made of
iron bars three inches wide and three
eighths of an inch thick set on edge
about six inches apart so as to form a
grating. Over these CRATES there are
stretched No. II wires one inch apart.

years ago, people wanted to get some
of the Trip fowls and commenced to
come after eggs to set, as they found
out that his fowls were great layers,
and he also got to cents more per
dozen for his eggs than the rest of the
farmers in the town. Not until the
last few years of his life did he take
much pains about the build and plum
age of the cockerels, as long as they
did not have black feathers on the body
and feathers ON the legs. They had to
have bright yellow legs to be kept. In
the last of his fowl raising he was
picking for the best looking plumage,
best shape and not too coarse boned
fowl"
In a flock descended from the original
stock have been found three cockerels
having respectively single, rose and
pea combs.
The laying Of handsome brown eggs
of nice shape and size is a characteris-
tic of the Rhode Island Reds which
should not be left out of consideration.
Their quality of developing plump
breasts and shanks without excessive
coarseness or tineness of bone and their
ready adaptability at any age for the
table or for market are also points not
to be forgotten.
The Rhode Island station has sug-
gested standard for breeders which
emphasizes utility" qualities and also
gives full consideration to plumage,
appendages and other SO called fancy"
points. 1t is said that the surface color
should show red all over the fowl with
out striking contrasts in shades except
for the black of wing and tail feathers.
The weights are heavy enough to in
sure a reasonably heavy carcass when
dressed for market and yet light
enough to retain the excellent egg pro-
ducing quality of the breed. The
breeder with late Matched chicks also
has chance at these weights in the
fall shows.
Breeders of single and rose comb
Rhode Island Reds will very likely in
sist that these varieties be allowed
The pea comb has the advantage of
being well adapted to the cold and
variable climate of Rhode Island and
the states of like latitude.
