Black lanqshans.

The Langshan breed is one Of the
Oldest in the world and has been evil
IDENTITY kept pure for centuries. 1t
originated in north China centuries
ago. 1t is the smallest of the Asiatic
breeds and is more active than any
or the others. Without doubt it is
one of the best laying breeds we
have, and probably exceeds in this re-
spect any of the other breeds from
Asia. A good many poultry raisers
in the United States are SO much in
love with the Langshans that they
raise them entirely. The flesh of the
Langshan is white, while the flesh of
the other Asiatic breeds is yellow.
The flesh of the Langshan is excellent
for eating, being fine grained, tender
and nicely favored.

WASHINGTON NAMED.
Place Where BeIIiserents Vii. Treat
for Peace.

Washington, June 1G-Americas
national capital has been selected as
the seat of negotiations between the
plenipotentiaries of Russia and Japan
for treaty Of peace. The choice Of
Washington as the location of the
peace conference marks another tor
ward step in the negotiations toward
ultimate peace on the plan suggested
by President Roosevelt. Japan had
suggested Che Foo and refused to
consent to Paris, which was the choice
of Russia. The President then named
The Hague as desirable location, but
both belligerents objected, and they
finally agreed upon Washington.
Should the capitol prove too hot, the
plenipotentlaries may adjourn to some
northern summer resort for time.
1t is thought that the peace confer
ence will not begin before the middle
of August.
Pressure is being exerted upon ia
pan to be moderate in her demands by
European powers and the President. 1t
is asserted that an indemnity of bill
lion dollars Is to much and 1t is not be-
heved that Japan will ask over half a
billion.

Finances Of the Creamery.

The way in which the finances of a
creamery are handled will determine
to considerable degree the success
of the creamery. | believe that it is
mistake for any creamery associa.
tion to arrange for the declaring Of
big dividends on the capital stock, es.
pecially if the shares are not equally
divided among the men that supply
milk to the creamery. Anyway it is
safer plan to have most all of the
profits go back to the milk producers
in the shape of better price on milk.
l know creamery where the capital
stock really pays about 20 per cent,
but ] very much fear that when such
a dividend is declared something
about the creamery is being neglect
ed. If any dividend is paid at all, it
should be small one, and the sur.
plus should either go back to the
farmers on milk or should go into i'm.
provements in the creamery-James

Farm Notes.

The Castings" on the trunks Of the
apple trees show where the borers
have been at work.
Care should be exercised in keep
ings the cow pasture free from rag
weed. This weed imparts peculiarly
disgusting, bitter taste to the milk OF
cows which eat it. and the butter
made from such milk is also impreg-
mated with the same peculiar taste.
One Of the most fatal mistakes in
breeding hogs or any other class OF
stock is to overlook the question of
constitutional vigor. for upon this
depends the general health and thrift
OF the stock. their feeding qualities
and their ability to assimilate food to
the best advantage.
Fattening animals should never be
allowed to become hungry. nor on the
other hand, should they be fed too
heavily. Too heavy feeding clogs the
appetite and too long periods between
feeds makes the animal restless. The
better plan is to feed more frequently
and lust what the animal will readily
2 ! up clean.

Jareckl Was Murdered.

Denver, June ia jury in the Fed
eral Court Wednesday decided that
Seymour T. Jarecki probably had been
killed: by some foe, and that enough
proof had not been adduced to support
the theory of suicide.
The verdict was in the case OF
Theresa Jarecki versus the Conserva-
tive Life Insurance Company. in which
the widow of the deceased doctor sued
to recover the amount Of life policy,
together with interest since the doc
tors death. Payment was resisted on
the ground that the doctor had taken
his own life, and that the provisions Of
the policy had therefore been vio-
lated.
The widow brought In proof Of her
husbands death, Of the attempt on his
life when he was county physician,
and the suspicious circumtances sur
rounding his death. Among these were
the bullet hole that had been shot
through the screen door of his resi-
dence from the outside, and the condi-
ton of the gates in the back yard.
which we're left open, as though some
one had hurriedly escaped in that d.
recticn.
The defense urged that Jarecki was
in financial trouble and had threatened
to take his own life. The Jury brought
In a verdict for the plaintiff for 35.2OS.

Improve Present Lines.
Denver. June 16.-Nine-tenths of the
stock Of the Colorado & Southern road
was represented at the meeting held
In this city yesterday. which ratified
the $100.O00.OO0 mortgage for q bond
Issue to carry out the improvement
plan of the company. The money de.
rived from the bond issue will be used
as follows:
To extend to the Gulf of Mexico.
To pay for the following roads:
The Trinity & Brazos Valley, In
Texas.

The Culis,

Most of our farmers never
Gull out their flocks and some
that do Gull in the wrong direction.
When the time comes for selling off
the surplus stock the very best should
be kept for foundation of the future
flock. Too often this future flock
must depend on the culls for its ex-
istence The butcher or the travelling
buyer will pay more for the we'll
formed well-developed fowls than he
Will for the other kind, and the owner
instinctively feels that his poorest
BIRDS will develop into good ones in
time. Therefore he will sell off the
ones that bring the most money at
that time. The culls should go first,
and the best birds of the flock should
not be let go OF at any price.

Thoughts on Breeds.


Each breed of fowls has been bred
for particular purpose, and man
in purchasing breed should make
certain that he knows the purpose
for which the breed he wants is
adapted.
A breed of fowls that has been
carefully nurtured for generations is
less able to stand rough conditions
than the scrub fowls that have come
up under all kinds of adverse condi-
tions.
The old breeds were at first devel-
oped no man knows how. The Medi-
terranean breeds have the capacity
of laying a good many eggs and of
not sitting, but it is not known that
these characteristics were bred into
them Intentionally.
The Langshau breed is one of the
olCest in the world and was bred in
nc eth China for centuries before be-
ing brought to this country. How it
attained its form and color is not
known. 1t is probable that the China
man of that country liked a black
fowl, big fowl and one that would
lay many eggs in winter.
We have enough breeds now, but
we are sure that many new ones will
come in during the present genera
ton. Men will not be satisfied with
out experimenting, even though there
be no particular object in their ex-
mentation.-Estella Harper, Car
roll Co., ILL.,, in Farmers Review.

bulletins recommend that it be moved
twice a year just before Towering.
which is in June and August, but the
writer of this article believes, from
years of experience with the plant
that it should be kept down from the
first. that the substance in the root
may be exhausted and may not be re-
supplied.
This can be done by boy taking a
sharp hoe and going over the in
Tested field. cutting OFF the young
crowns little below the ground. This
can be done rapidly. The boy will
learn to swing the hoe with great
dexterity and at every blow a head
will fall 1t is generally the lack of

view.

Testing Associations.

No matter how smart a nation is. it
can learn something from almost any
other nation. The Danes have given
us good object lesson in the estab
fishing OF testing associations, by
which each farmer is enabled to know
the performance of each COW, as to
weight of milk produced daily and
percentage OF butter-fat in same. We
have been long time adopting the
Danish method, as to organization.
We have done great deal of test.
Ing of individual cows and now
and then. herd has been tested.
but we have not tried very hard
to get at the herds of the farmers not
interested in scientific matters.
We are therefore doubly glad to
learn that testing association has
been organized near Athens, Wis,
and there the Danish method is to be
given chance to show what it will
do under American methods. The as.
sociation when formed this spring
had twenty-six members, and each
farmer will have his herd tested once
a month. The man that is to do the
testing travels from herd to herd,
spending day in each place, both
weighing and testing the milk fsom
each COW. The association pays the
salary and incidental expenses of the
man doing the testing. but he has
free board at the home Of each mem.
Der while testing his herd.
The Grit-advocate., 1905-06-23
The Preservative Question.

The United States Department OF
Agriculture is coming in for good
deal of adverse comment for exclud-
ing from our ports consignment of
Australasian butter that contained a
large amount of boron preservative.
The critics are saying that the govern
ment should recognize the fact that
preservatives are being used in the
butter manufactured in this country
as well as in the butter coming in
from foreign parts. A London paper
takes up the matter and says that
during the last ten years the people
of Great Britain have consumed two
hundred thousand tons of butter with
boracic acid in it and that not one
case Of injury can be proved against
it. Well. how could such a case be
proved? No mater how much injury
may have been done to the consum-
ers it is not possible to say for a
certainty that such a result did ensue.
On the other hand, it is the part of
the preservative dealers to prove that
the substance they sell Is not harm
full and they have not done that.
The United States Department of Ag-
riculture does not take action like the
above without having some good rea-
son for it's action. We are having
too much preservative used in foods
anyway, and any action of the govern.
ment looking to the decreasing Of the
amount used will have the SupnOrt
OF most OF the people.

OvercroWdinu Chicks,

Overcrowding of chicks in brood
ers results in weakening the
chicks that remain alive after
number have been killed.
Some have said that it was good
thing to kill off the weak ones in that
way, but we doubt it. 1t is not a rare
occurrence to have weak child or
weak animal or bird develop into a
strong being at maturity. When we
overcrowd the chicks we give to
them conditions that are injurious to
life and health. 1t may be that the
setback will never be overcome by
good conditions afterward.
The Grit-advocate., 1905-06-23
Scaiy Legs.

When the fowls have scaly
legs grease them. and If the
greasing is thoroughly done the in
sects that are causing the scales to
rise will be killed. All insects are
killed by grease, which stops up the
pores by which they breathe. II the
cold lard does not get into the remote
parts under the scales heat the lard
and dip the legs of the fowls into it.
This is treatment that does not hurt
the fowl. but is death to the insects
that make the trouble.
The Grit-advocate., 1905-06-23
Young Chicks.

This Is the time Of wear
when many broods of chicks are
coming out of the shells to claim the
attention of the farmer. The feeding
of chicks is matter that cannot be
ignored. They cannot be fed at odd
times like the old hens nor will they
be satisfied with two or three feeds
day. They must have at least five
feeds each day, and only small guam
tity of food can be given at each
feeding. No food must be allowed
to sour and much of the food must be
given in form that will make the
chicks exercise to get it.

the early settlers. A century ago the
New England farmers imagined they
had terrible pest on their hands,
But they soon learned that with good
cultivation it was not a difficult mat
ter to keep it from doing much harm.
its worst quality is its persistency,
which is due to the fact that it is
propagated partly by underground
rootstalks as well as by seeds. Peo-
pie that do not know how to handle it
allow it to grow up and then cut it
down and are surprised that it is
found in the same place the next
year. The fact is that while its top
is developing, food is being elaborated
which is developing the underground
stems and preparing them for con-
tinued existence on the strength of
tie stored-up food. The government
