Breeding For weight and Eggs.

For market fowls of greatest weight
select a strain reputed to combine gi-
gantlc proportions with fine, tender
grain and delicacy of flavor. 1t is ad-
visable to secure a big hen as well as
huge cock, instead of purchasing
eggs from stock you have never seen.
OF this hens eggs set only the largest,
of course avoiding double-yolked ones.
In future seasons pick out the largest
hens for breeders and set their largest
eggs. BY this culling process you will
work into a flock of mammoth hens,
changing only the cock when fear of
inbreeding is incurred.
For layers follow methods in line
with this. Choose laying strain, then
for breeders separate the best layers
of the flock, each year separating the
best layers of the seasons hatch and
killing off the rest. One may in time
breed into a good flock by breeding
from his own largest hens for weight.
and from his best layers for a laying
strain, but quicker and surer results
are obtained by beginning with pair
OF trio of known reputation.-L. L.
Trott, in Orange Judd Farmer.

Ancestral Marks.

After a long, dusty walk to a country
town, and a morning spent in poring
over ancient records, an enthusiastic
genealogist returned with these memo
sanda concerning his ancestors:
Caleb Forbes-His earmark is a
cross on the left care and half-panny
vnder the same care and a split on the
cop OF the right care"
John Starkweather-His earemark is
square cross on the left care and a
split on the hind side OF the right care,
split downward"
"Ohl what does this meanl" cried his
wife How terrible John, l wish you'd
let genealogy alone. What crimes do
you suppose they had committed"
What's the matter, my dear"
"Why, this is the record OF the way
:he criminals were branded, isn't it?"
What" shouted the proud genealo-
gist. My ancestors branded. These
are the marks of their cattle-amone
The first on record

Hints.
Keep the feed box full.

Keep the feed box full.
Onion tops chopped fine are excellent
for poultry.
Comfort for the fowls is synonymous
with profit.
Young chickens should be fed many
tiRes during the day.
Fowls suffer more from dampness
than from any other cause. ......~,-
A liberal dust bath for fowls is the
best protection against vermin.
Fowls having a free run will find
their own feather-making food.
Cedar brush hung inside the poultry
house will eradicate chicken lice.
In feeding fowls study nature, and
give them things they like the best.
Turkeys when first hatched are very
delicate and require considerable care
Feathers should be plucked dry

Good Layers.

A few good layers like a few good
cows come by accidental breeding.
This number can be greatly increased
by selection and beginning at the foun-
dation-the breeding stock. Instead
of selecting the eggs for Matching from
the egg basket or at random, as has
been the custom for years. 1t would be
well to select eggs from hens that are
unusually good layers. 1t does not re-
quire an adept to select the business
hen. One can very readily become ac-
quainted with the hens that are good
layers. The hustler is always busy.
If no other means may be at hand to
select eggs, 1t would be well to have
pen or house or room where several
of the best layers can be kept and their
eggs used for Matching purposes.
In buying eggs it will pay to give
little advance over the ordinary prices
to obtain eggs from q breeder who has
employed methods that will increase
this habit in his hens. 1t Is much more
to be admired and sought for than eggs
of standard merit which have been Sc
lected on account of their feathering.
One should manage his poultry as he
does his dairy if he would have best re.
suits. This is for the purpose of OBJ
tanning the most profit. The hens
should never be permitted to become
overfat, which can be obviated by feed
ing the grain In straw or chaff. Never
use eggs from a hen that has been
sick with any constitutional disease.
Constitutional diseases can be trans
mitted, and close attention should be
given this matter.-Poultry Farmer

Systematic Storing of Humus.

One of the greatest advantages l OBJ.
tain from a cover crop is the constant
storage in the soil of humus. A soil
rich in humus is also soil properly
drained. In many soils the lack OF
humus permits the best elements OF
fertility, no matter in what form ap'
Piled, to leach out and go to waste,
Sometimes they merely leach down to
the subsoil, but even there they are
wasted to most crops. Our surface
feeding crops will not go down TO the
subsoil after rich humus or fertility
leached down there, because of toe
porous and open surface soil. The
cover crop plants the humus in the sur
face soil, and thereby holds the fertil
lzing elements of potash, phosphoric
acid and nitrogen. They are held there
in a position where the roots of the
plants can most readily reach and utll
ize them. s.-S~--> >ss--r '-sssr--s
Any cover top will do this work
Some, of course, answer the purpos,
much better than any others, but Q
crop that furnishes an abundance OF
green foliage will in time fill the sol
with rich humus. Therefore cover
crops have been used by me continu

Artssi>n Water in Ar,.ona.

Word comes from Tucson that an- other artesian gusher has been opened up near that city in the Santa Cruz valley. This is the fifth flow devel. Oped there during the present year by General L. H. Naming. The five wells are flowing l,5OO, 900 gallons daily. Three more eight inch wells will be sunk in line with the new gusher, from which flow of over a million gallons is expected.
 It has been demonstrated during the past five years that artesian water abounds beneath all the valleys of Southern Arizona that are skirted by nearby mountains. The first flows were encountered in this county in the San Pedro valley, and in that valley now it is cheaper to sink an artesian we'll than it Is to drive the farm stock to the river for water.
 In the Gila valley in Graham county numerous flowing wells are supplying water for irrigation, and much new land has been put in cultivation there as result. Now it has been shown that in the Santa Cruz valley artesian water is as abundant as in the San Pedro or Gila valleys.
 No artesian water has yet been en- countered in the Salt river valley, but the probabilities are that intelligent efforts near the foothills of the moun- tains skirting that valley would find it.
 The Sulphur Spring valley and the San Simon valley are both favorable localities for the development of arr tesian water. A flow was encountered last year near Pearce, which is evil dence that artesian water surely under- lies the Sulphur Spring valley.
 Much of the future prosperity of Ari- zOna will come from artesian wells and the work of prospecting and develop ment along this road to wealth should be pushed. .-Bisbee Review.
