Pure Bred Stock.

The farmer is often confronted with
the question of whether he shall pur-
chase pure bred stock or depend on
the common stock of the neighbor-
hood for his supply of breeding fowls.
The question should be solved some.
what in accordance with the ideal the
farmer has of flock of poultry. If
he believes that any care is good
enough for the hens and that they
should be given no quarters in par
ticular, he may as probably buy the
scrub fowls around him for a NOM
inal price as those of good breeding
at q high price. But, assuming that
he intends to give them good care,
we would say by all means purchase
pure bred stock. In his breeding op.
erations he will be able. to breed up
much more satisfactorily with pure
breds than with mongrels. In the
case Of mongrels he will have all
kinds of tendencies to eliminate, for
mongrels contain the blood Of innum-
cradle breeds and strains. These diff
fering tendencies will be continually
cropping out, and It would take years
to eliminate the most undesirable of
them. OF course IL a man is breed

Russia's Rotten Government.

The present government of Russia,
according to all testimony, is as VIC
ious in practice as in principle. Its
chief is weak and vascillating man
who is incapable of settled policy.
First one palace cabal and then an
other is in control. Corruption is the
rule in all departments of the vast
bureaucracy. 1t is dishonesty and in
efficiency at home rather than a lack
of valor in Manchuria which has
brought disaster to the Russian arms.
A group of reactionary mobiles, aided
by reactionary church, is in power,
and is using it not for the car of Rus.
STA, but for the personal enrichment
OF Its members. Manifestly such
regime contains in itself the seeds OF
its own ending.-New York Globe.

Breeding Hardy Fruits.

over a large area of the prairie
northwest, many of the fruits grown
in the eastern and southern states are
deficient in hardness. This has been
demonstrated by thousands of plant
ers. The climatic extremes of the
northwestern prairies do not make
fruit culture impossible; but care
must be taken in the selection OF
varieties. The fruit lists adopted by
the various state horticultural so
cieties give the general experience
with varieties. The beginner should
contine his first main planting to the
sorts which have stood the test, but
often the list is so short that the
varieties recommended for trial are
needed to fill out the list. There is
need of extending the present short
list of fruits. Successful fruit culture
is essential to true home-making upon
the open prairies, hence the work OF
originating hardy fruits is of the high.
est possible importance. 1t is only in
recent years that the immense i'm.
portance of plant-breeding has become
generally recognized. Plant-breedins
means the originating of improved
varieties by selection, crossing and
hybridizing. These are often termed
new creations" and the work CORE.

Poultry n ouse v,ylndo1vs.

Until very recently windows in poul-
try houses have never been consid-
cred Of any Importance, except to give
light enough to enable the hens to
find the roosts and the nests. We
have frequently seen good sized poul-
try houses with single window, and
that placed in q position where the
direct rays Of the sun could never
strike the floor Of the house. In a
little while such q house becomes foul
and full Of ammonia gas from the
chemical action going on in the moist
droppings. One Of these in the mind
OF the writer had its door to the south
and it's window on the west, where
much Of the western sun was inter.
cepted by trees and houses. After
some months the flock in this house
developed fine case of roup, which
carried off 4G birds. This house was
finally abandoned as unsanitary. Had
there been windows on the east, west
and south sides, the house would have
been satisfactory abiding place for
the fowls.
We notice that a poultry writer adj
vises that in the north there shall be
windows on the south side only, and
then only one in house ten feet
long. Our practice is to have the
house facing the south, and to have
windows on south. east and west
sides, so that the rays Of the sun are
in the house all day long. We have
yet to be convinced that such houses
are enough colder at night to war
rant foregoing the extra windows, pro-
vided the windows are all tight in
the castings.
Taking two poultry houses, one with
windows on three sides and one with
windows on one side, and we believe
that both would show about the same
degree of temperature at night in a
cold time in winter. In the day time
the one with the most windows would
show the highest temperature, espec.
tally If the sun were shining. The
light on the floor is of great value, as
it dries up the moisture connected
with the droppings. The fowls also
enjoy the direct rays of the sun and
will be found lying down on the floor
with wings spread out.
A well-construc.ed poultry house
should have board shutters to cover
the windows in cold winter nights
These should be so we'll made and Sc
perfectly adjusted that the air be-
tween them and the window sash will
be held in place and act as non con
ductor for the heat. The cooling OIL
OF the poultry house will thus be re-
tarded. Curtains on the inside arc
good and can be made of some ma
terial that is inexpensive, but not per
hitting the passage of air. The chief
use of these curtains is to prevent the
circulation of air in the poultry house
When the house is quite warm after
the setting of the sun, the cooling of
of the glass starts a circulation Of air
The warm air pushes against the
glass, cools off and falls, making room
for more air. This is why people sit
ting near tight window on cold
day feel draft. Curtains check this
operation.
