Number of Eggs Per Year.

The number of eggs that hen will
produce in year is greatly over
estimated. Ii we look in poultry books
we will see various estimations as to
the average production OF different
breeds OF poultry. Thus, all the Leg
horn varieties are credited with 200
eggs a year, and the Plymouth Rocks
with about $50 a year. These are
supposed to be the average figures. l
am certain from my own investiga-
tons and observations that the aver
age productions are very far below
these figures. | do not believe that
the Leghorn varieties will average
over $50 a year, or that the Plymouth
ROCKS will produce more than 12O
eggs a year on the average. Remem-
Der that | am talking about averages,
and not what the best layers will do.
have no doubt that there are a great
many Leghorns that will lay 200 eggs
a year, and l am absolutely certain
that there are great many OF that
breed that do not lay 100 year. I
once kept 4 very close account of the
productions of a mixed flock of layers.
There were some Leghorns in my
flock, some Plymouth Rocks, and some
that did not appear to belong to any
breed. In no year was l ever able
to get more than 12O eggs on the
average. | know of New York. man
that has for many years been raising
White Leghorns. He had several hun
dred OF these, and had been breeding
out the poorest layers, so far as he
could tell them, and retaining the
best layers. At the time l saw him
last, he said that his best year had
been the year that had given him 100
eggs per hen on the average. 1t must
be remembered that these were Sc
lected birds of the best laying breed.

The Best Breed Of Poultry.

What is the best breed? This is a
question that is being continually
asked by amateurs in poultry breed
ing, tut is never answered. The ex-
perienced poultry breeder does not
ask it and does not try to answer it.
He has long since learned that there
Is no best breed for all persons, all
localities, and all conditions. The
man that wants to raise broilers for
market will select the kind of fowl
lnat Will prove the best for his pur-
pose, and the bird that would be the
pest Tor one man under one set OF
conditions would be worthless Tor an
otner man under another set of con-
dltlons. Thus in the raising of broil-
ers the heavier breeds are usually rec
commended, such as the Wyandottes,
the Langshans, and the Brahmas. But
there are cases where even the small
breeds prove to be the best for this
purpose. One man in Indiana told me
mat he was supplying about GOO broii-
ers year to the New York market
and he had been engaged in this bust
ness Tor great many years. He had
tried large number of varieties of
fowls but the breed that had proved
the best for him, and which he had
settled down to use was the Brown
Leghorn. His particular market want.
ed bird small and plump. such as
the Brown Leghorn chick made, at a
certain age. Thus, in his case we see
a variety of the egg laying breeds

to be peculiar to the heavy breeds.

10 egg laying. The Brown Leghorn
is great layer, and is well adapted
TO many localities OF this country. Yet
farther north, farmers raise a great
objection to the large comb on the
head OF the single combed Ieghorn,
as this comb frequently freezes off,
and this accident supposedly incapa.
GATES the hen from laying very many
eggs. Thus the Leghorn, which is

df;A ~
How Many Acres Per Cow?

We have frequently asked how many
acres should be devoted to the pas
turage of one COW, and how many
COWS can be pastured per acre. These
Two questions are the same question
IN another form, though they may be
Inherently answered. The number OF
acres that should be devoted to the
pasturage of one COW must depend on
many things. Therefore no answer
can be given that will apply to all cir
cumstances. In England it is esti.
mated that on the best conducted
farms a cow and a sheep can be sus-
tanned throughout the growing season
Dy one acre OF pasturage. 1t must be
remembered that these English pas
lures have been carefully managed for
centuries and are probably the lest
IN the world. In the United States
an attempt has been made to apply
lhe English rule to our pastures, and
with considerable success. We have

using butter that has been made from

great deal better about it than if they
know they are eating butter made
from milk or cream in which disease

teurizes his milk should advertise that
fact. as it will help in the sale of his
product. People have to be educated
along these lines, for the butter from
pasteurized cream or milk has q

AGAINST THE PUBLIC INTEREST.
overzeaIous Reformers Work for Law
AGAINST Proprietary Medicines,

OverzeaIous Reforners Work Tor Law
Against Proprietary Medicines.
Schemes to diminish or destroy
the sale of proprietary medicines are
constantly being devised by interested
parties. Every now and then some
Jealous reformer comes to the front
with the demand for law TO require
every package Of proprietary medi-
cine to be labeled with printed
statement of the formula showing
just how it is manufactured. The mil
lions OF people who use proprietary
medicines seem to be satisfied: but
the man with mania for regulating
the affairs of other people or who has
some personal interest to serve is
the one who agitates the proposition.
To a person who has never taken
time to consider it. such proposition
may seem reasonable enough; yet it
Is in fact nothing more nor less than
scheme to compel the manufacture
ers to put their trade throughout the
entire country at the mercy of every
commercial pirate who might choose
to food the market with limitations of
their goods.
"Under such conditions the incen-
tive for the original manufacturer to
advertise his goods would be practi-
cally destroyed, for the money spent
on advertising would inure mainly to
the benefit OF the pirates and imita-
tors. Without advertising, the public
would receive little information in
regard TO the medicine, and all future
sales would be greatly impaired if
not wholly destroyed. 1t is mainly by
judicious advertising that the knowl
edge Of proprietary medicines is
brought to the public. Nothing is
more certain than that millions OF peo-
pie have found relief at compare
lively small expense by the use Of
some remedy first called to their
notice through newspaper advertising.
Why, then. should the manufacturer
Of a meritorious proprietary remedy
be compelled by law to practically
destroy his business as condition of
being allowed to carry it on? Yet
that is exactly what these formula
bills mean.-EXchange

w II e At

\ sharp break, such as we anticipated
in our last review, has been experienced
in the wheat market. Declines have been
sharp and of sufficient size to clear the
situation of much of it's weight. The
most powerful and aggressive interests
are now purcha sing on each material de-
cline and this in spite of the big crops.
The demand is. wide and insistent. The
ltndertone in the market is distinctly
strong and healthy. The true character
OF the market may be judged by the fact
That, while there is an apparent diff
ference in favor of Canadian wheat for
export into several European states, lib
raj amounts of high grade American
wheat have been sold to those countries.
This proves while the public markets
abroad may show prices below an import
level. they need our fine wheat so badly
that private prices are higher than the
market. If thus early in the season Eu-
rope is willing to pay a liberal premium
for the oast milling grades, what will be
the situation when the present source of
supply, the Canadian fields, has become
exhausted? We believe wheat will adj
vance mat arially as soon as the situa ton
is q little better understood For a long
pull. we favor purchases Of May wheat.

Cause of Soft shelIed Euos.

The production of soft shelled eggs
is certainly due to deranged condi-
ton of the egg producing, organs of
the fowl. Some tell us that it is due
to the lack of lime. Others say that
It Is an unbalanced condition of the
iced, but we find soft shelled eggs
produced both by the hens that have
an abundance of lime and those that
are fed balanced rations. Out OF a
flock OF SO hens we have seen one that
would produce soft shelled eggs wien
all the other hens produced normal
eggs. She not only produced them
but ate them greedily as soon as pro-
duced. There was an abnormal con-
dition of the egg producing organs,
and perhaps an abnormal state of the
appetite. For some reason or other
the organs upon which was laid the
charge Of producing the egg shells
ceased to work. This is a matter that
must be more fully studied before
the full cause Of the soft. egg shell
can be ascertained. q
