Breeds For beginners.

1t is very difficult to advise one what
breeds to select without knowing for
what purpose the fowls are to be
raised. If one wants but a few for
home purposes, it is best to select the
larger breeds, such as Plymouth Rocks,
Wyandottes or Light Brahmas. All of
them lay fairly well and the c~arcasses
are large and plump. If eggs are
mainly desired. then the smaller
breeds, such as the Leghorns or Min
orcas, should be chosen. 1t is a matter
of personal opinion as to whether the
white or brown Leghorn, or black or
white Minorca is the most desirable.
If IL has but a limited range for the
fowls during the summer the larger
breeds should be chosen by all means.
for the smaller breeds, and especially
the White Leghorns, are impatient of
close quarters and fret under conine-
ment.
During the summer, if the fowls are
on the range, where they can obtain
more or less grass and insects, the best
grain food is wheat. buckwheat,
cracked corr in small quantities Of mil
let. Do not feed poultry much whole
corn during warm weather. as it is
too f~attening and will stop their laying
quickly. If the grass supply is small,
green food of some kind must be CIV
en- daily. and there must be a good
supply of fresh. clean water. given sew.
tfal times a day.
The Penn's Grove record., 1904-11-04
Care of the Horse.

Speed horses are always trained
down before they enter races. Foot.
bali players train and diet for months,
in order that they may be in prime Of
condition; that their muscles may be
hard and their endurance extended,
but how many farm horses there are
that are not even given a thought
about conditioning before entering the
heavy harvest and fall work, says
Farm Review.
Where horses a-e worked more or
less continuously there should be no
trouble whatever in bringing them into
good condition and keeping them
there, but with those that are turned
to grass the problem is not so easy.
Grass is good for horses, but when
turned on, and this accompanied by
feeding at random, with a little work
now and then, will not get or keep a
horse in condition. If on grass the
horse, if he works more or less, should
be given his grain feed regularly. In
any case pains should be taken to have
the horse hardened and in condition
by the time hard work begins. If such
is the case, both man and beast will en-
joy the harvest than if the horse
is poor and soft.
