Good Poultry Breed.

We believe that some of the troubles
Of raiscrs of the White Wyandotte
come from improper feeding. While
the breed is supposed to be tough and
hardy there IS a weakness in them
somewhere which demands careful
feeding. In an experience of ten years
with the breed we have found they
must be uniformly fed Mt the same
hours daily, and that their food must
be Of the best quality and In consider
able variety.
Handled in this manner they will
give satisfactory results and produce
eggs in about the same numbers dur
ing the year as the Plymouth Rocks
but, with us at least, they do not equal
the Lcghorns in this respect On the
other hand there is considerable to the
carcass and they are readily futtened
for market when desired. In the hand
of some poultry men they are very sat

more 50 in the years TO come for they

At Seed-Euyin. Time,

II is estimated that if the corn crop
OF the country could be increased 10
per cent it would add to the production
of wealth in the United States over
seventy millions of dollars. That the
corn crop can be increased this small
per cent Is well known, for ii requires
only the selection of the best seed and
the best methods of cultivation to do
IT, The trouble is, corn is too easily
grown and the crop is usually large
enough SO that there are enough lcr-
nels left in the crib for seed. So the
average farmer argues, why should
pay ont good money for seed corn
when there IS more than need in my
own crib" He forgcts that the seed
corn in his cribs may be the kernels
dropped from nuhbins and If SO they
will produce nubbins.
The tendency to pay out rs little as
possible for seeds is wrong. 1t is safe
to say that in n normal season one
would make more clean cash from
crops grown from the best seed sold
regardless of price than from 3oubr
the quantity of what may he called
cheap seeds. # you don't believe IN
the value of the best seeds, test them
in a small way. Take. for example
"A few seed tuherS from the potato pile
in the cellar, then buy from some repu-
table scotsman the same quantity Of
the same variety. cut the seed in the
same way, plant at the same time and
give the same care and cultivation. At
harvest time compare results and If
of high-class seed a solid one wen take
