The name of any breed OF
poultry may be helpful or mis-
leading. Unfortunately, in
great many cases, the titles CIV
en- to our fowls are the latter
rather than the former. For
instance, the Ham burg has Moth
ing whatever to do with the
great port upon the Elbe; the
Polish has very little to do with
eastern Europe; the duck known
as the Rouen is not in any sense
peculiar to northern France; and
the turkey, instead of coming
from southeastern Europe, ema-
mated from America. Toa less
extent this is true of the breed
which is so prominent a mem Der
of the Mediterranean family,
called in England and America
the Leghorn. This breed is
known on the continent as the
Italian fowl, and there can be no
question that that designation is
correct.
The explanation is very SIM
pie. 1t appears that as far back
as 1885 a mum Der of birds SINH
lar to our Brown Leghorns, were
imported into New York from
Italy, and further importations
took place during the ffties.
These birds were bred with a
certain care, and began to attain
popularity by reason of their ex-
cellent egg producing qualities.
1t was not, however, until about
I1S72, that birds of this type
relched England from America.
The original importers into the
United States, in seeking for
name, evidently selected that of
the port whence they had been
received. How the captain of
the ship, or whoever it might be,
had secured the birds, we have
no evidence, but probably they
were simply fowls which had
taken his fancy in the local mar
ket, or it may be even in those
days there were breeders who
selected their birds with care,
and had attained a considerable
fxity of type. But the fact is
that Leghorn has no special con-
nection with this fowl, and in M
visit to Italy in many other dis
tricts a distinctly better type of
Italian fowls was met with than
in the neighborhood of Leghorn
itself. This is eXplainable from
the fact that at ports there is al
ways the chance OF an introduce
ton of fresh blood.
At the same time however
considering the influence of the
Leghorn and the large measure
of popularity which it has at
tanned, l was very anxious tC
make inquiries in the district as
to poultry breeding generally,
and also to discover if possible
something with regard to this
and other branches of live stock.
Leghorn is a thriving port, stu
ated in a somewhat bare dis
district; it is not a very interest
ing town, but the suburbs are
fine, and the outlook over the
Mediterranean delightful. The
market in this town showed that
the fowls for sale were small,
and are sold dead in sections.
Most of them have yellow legs,
and there is nothing done in re-
spect to fattening. There is per-
haps more variety of fowls
around here than elsewhere, and
l saw a good many with cuckoo
plumage and with feathered legs.
was fortunate at Leghorn-
thanks to the kindness of the
British vice-consul at that port,
Mr.. M. Carmichael, and his as
sistant, Mr.. A. Henderson-in
meeting a Signor Boshart, who
has taken a great deal otinterest
in poultry, and at one time had a

reach of a great port like Leg
horn the opportunities of obtain
ing other stock are much great
err. He told me that while all
colors of Italian fowls are to be
found, and very little attention
is paid to color, if there is any
feeling among the peasants in ia
vor of one variety over another,
it is that the Black Leghorns are
regarded as the best. At the
same time the majority of the
fowls kept are brown and white,
with those intermediate colors
which would be met with where
there was no care in selection.
If anyone is disposed to give
greater attention to his poultry,
he would be likely to choose
Blacks by preference. Some of
these have yellow legs, but by
no means the whole of them, and
in a great many cases they have
slate colored legs. The brown
type is less common, and it is
not little remarka BILE that the
first imports from Italy of Leg
horns to America appear to have
been what we now know as
Browns. Had they been Blacks,
it is possible that the whole flu
ture of this breed would have
been greatly modifed-that is,
so far as the distribution of it's
different varieties is concerned.
OF late years there mas been
practically no improvement
among the breeds OF poultry
kept on the farms Of the coun-
try. The Tuscan peasant is said
to be obstinate and suspicious as
to the motives of those who seek
( to influence him with a view of
altering his methods. Also he
is very difficult to deal with, and
regards what has been as the
best. Signor Boshart says that
as a rule in this part of Italy the
people are utterly Indifferent to
anything outside their own
knowledge; so long as they make
a living, that is all they care for;
aud l am bound to say that my
impression from this interesting
conversation with Signor Bos-
hart was that he felt depressed
at the slow progress which had
been made. This is the exper
fence all have had to meet, and
was able to tell him that it ha:
been found in other countrie:
that it requires years OF worl
and practically a new generation
ere great changes can be brough
about in the regular methods
, adopted by rural population.
One point on which l was very
= DESTROYS of obtaining information
, was in regard TO the methods
of Matching and rearing. With
us the Leg horn is a non-sitter,
and unless artificial methods
were available, or there was a
plentiful supply of sitting breeds,
the race would come to an end
speedily. Accepting, therefore
that the Italian type of fowls is
almost universal in the PENN
sula, it seemed absolutely re
quisite that these birds shoulC
be sitters in their own land, fol
we know very we'll that in mos
parts of western Europe incu
bators are of a practically mod,
ern invention, not available fol-
the ordinary poultry keeper un
til twenty years ago. l made
careful inquiries, therefore,
both of Signor Boshart and OF
others on this point, and learned
that the Leghorn or Italian fowl
is only a moderate sitter, but
still certain proportion of the
birds have been bred with the
maternal instinct developed.
His opinion is that out of twenty
hens of the Italian type, only four
will prove to be sitters, and the

Dixie Mine Not Sailed.
Godhe Crowd Accused of

Dixie Station, Ida, Aug Is.
Editor Bulletin;
would like to have the follow
ing facts printed in your paper in
opposition to some statements made
by Mr.. Baldwin and Mr.. Lever in
regard to the sailing of the mine at
Dixie station. !.
Mr.. Lever came here and took
samples ten feet apart on the whole
ledge, which amounted to over 200
pounds and which he took to Salt
Lake. | told Mr.. Lever the sam
pies would go from $6 to $lS per
ton, but upon hearing from him he
said the samples assayed only one
half the value | had told him they
would go.
Not long after this Mr. Lever,
Mr.. Baldwin and Mr.. Godbe came
back the second time and took some
more samples. | accompanied Mr..
Lever in taking samples and Mr..
Baldwin and Mr.. Godbe also took
samples at the same time The
samples taken this time amounted
to about 400 pounds-Mr. Lever
having 200 pounds and Mr. Bald
win 200 pounds. The samples were
undoubtedly guarded very closely,
as they took them to bed each night
with them while here.
Mr. Godbe came back the fourth
time and the Salt Lake Herald
SAYS without my knowing it. |
must say the above is false, as be-
fore Mr.. Godbe arrived here | re-
ceived a telephone message asking
me to collect So of him which he
had neglected to pay while in Noun

the mine the next day Mr.. Godbe
told me that the samples Mr.. Lever
took the first time assayed about
$50 per ton. which, Of course, was
contradictory of Mr.. Levers state
ment, as he SAID they only went $8
per ton.
, OF course, after this | could see
that the mine was really better
than | expected and that | had
made bad bargain in selling it so
cheap; SO when Mr.. Godbe was TAX

did not know east from west-I just
let him take all the waste that he
