VARIETIES OF CHICKENS.

word variety as applied to
chickens, has little significance
He may know that there are
chickens of different shapes,
sizes and colors, but little as 10
the characteristics they indicate.
To him a "chicken is a chicken"
and his interest in the subject
generally ends there.
However, the conformation of
the several varieties of chickens
are as characteristic OF the pur-
poses for which they are bred as
are cattle, or any class of domes-
tic animals.
We are told that the bush hen
of India is the legitimate parent
of the chicken family and that
the almost innumerable varieties
have been developed from it by
countless generations of select
ing, mating and crossing for spe-
cific purposes.
The American Standard ad-
mits about $50 varieties that
have been considered worth per-
petuating. These run from the
heavy meat-producing Asiatic
class, through numerous grada-
tions, down to the diminutive
japanese Bantams that are bred
solely for ornamental purposes.
AS it is our purpose to deal
with this subject from a practical
standpoint, we will consider only
the three classes Of the greatest
commercial Importance, and con-
sequently of most interest to the
farmer and poultryman, viz: The
American, Asiatic and Meditter-
ranean.
ILese classes supply the domes-
tic and commercial demands for
table fowls, general purpose
fowls and egg producers. They
are sub-divided into numerous
varieties, the best known of which
in the American class are, Ply
mouth Rocks and Wyandottes.
The Asiatic class has Brahmas,
Cochins and Langshans, while
the Mediterranean class is best
represented by the Leghorns,
Minorcas and Black Spanish.
The American class was created
by the systematic crossing of the
heavy, stupid, meat-producing
fowls with the small, active, egg
laying classes, the design being
to produce a bird that would be a
fairly good layer and also an ex-
cellent table fowl. That they
succeeded we'll will be attested
by all who are acquainted with
either variety Of this noble class.
The Asiatic class has been bred
specifically for meat producers
and hold the same place among
chickens that Shorthorns hold
among cattle. They thrive we'll
on limited range and are profit
able as market fowls.
The Mediterranean class are
the egg producers and have been
bred through countless genera
tons for the specific purpose of
converting all their food, except
enough to maintain their scant
bodies, into egg forming mater
ial. They are called the egg
Machines" and have earned the
title in every contest known to
the civilized world.

EARLY HISTORY.

Immediate Vicinity by CIV, Shaver Pioneer

ed to bring down game for part
OF their food and to feed their
two watchdogs. They had three
yokes OF very fine young oxen
and one yoke of milch COWS to
the wagon. The COWS were
placed just behind the lead oxen,
as they were wanted for their
milk only and not to pull any of
the load, and it being more con-
venient to yoke and drive them
In this way than otherwise. BY
III O'Clock one morning early in
May a large crowd had gathered
to see the young men off to the
far west and to bid them a final
farewell, for not one ever re-
turned. Hardin Meeks and Mack
Thomson died on the way, and
the other four went into California
on foot, hungry and almost with.
out clothing.
In the year 1850, Wayne
Thomas, the father of our coun-
tryman and welI-to-do citizen,
Alfred Thomas, built small log
dwelling house in town, just
south and across the street from
the spot now occupied by the
Christian church, and moved his
family therein. He followed
hunting, principally, for the sup
port of himself and family.
Alfred does not remember hav-
ing ever lived in Evening Shade.
In this same year old man Tom
Franklin, brother-in-law OF
Wayne Thomas, came to town
and built a little log residence in
the west part, on Clear branch,
and he and his wife lived there.
This is the place where P. II.
Wilkerson built a residence and
lived so long, now owned by
Dudley Stokes. Franklin fol.
lowed hunting for a living.

(COnl nueQ from last week.
During the late fall or winter
of 1849, William Vaughan built
a small round loghouse where the
rear end of w. D. Cochran's store
building now stands, and when
he had the little house ready to
,aaNaufor business he went to
candidate e,d aoT of Ss3 q and bought two barrels
We are niskey, a little brandy, a
.candisrrel Of sugar, some glass
IStumblers and few spoons. Then
I he opened up a regular retail
whidkey shop, selling whiskey at
five cents a glass, throwing
the water and sugar into the
bargain. Red whiskey was very
cneap then, bringing only ten
cents quart or twenty-five and
thirty cents a gallon. Nearly
every man would drink more or
less whiskey in those days, but
did not get drunk as men do in
these times.
In the latter part of the year
1849 or early part of 1850, James
Thomson resigned as postmast-
er and my father was appointed
in his stead. Then the office was
moved from the mill up to "The
Shanty," and was kept in the
store of Shaver & Cammack. The
place at once dropped the name
of "The Shanty" and took the
name of Evening Shade.

In the years of 1849 to 1851
when there was great excitement
all over the country over the dis
covery of gold in California,
great many men in this country
wanted to go in search of the
precious metal, but the distance
was so great and the travel
through the Indian country and
across the plains attended with
so many dangers and hardships,
( that men would not 60 and take
their families. But in the spring
of the latter year six young
men, Dr.. John Glenn, Hardin
Meeks, Mack Thomson, Thomas
Hodges, Mr.. Williams and an
other young man whose name
have forgotten, started from this
settlement to the golden regions.

party had good, new, wooden

been postponed.
This advance was to have been made on
carload lots Of cattle, hogs and sheep and
was to be made by the commission houses
OF Chicago. Kansas City. Omaha and
smaller points. This advance would have
taken an extra 10000 from the stock ship

Citations to establish independent commits

peuses for this work to Ware at $50 a

Measure VIII BE Put on Passage
Today or Tomorrow.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-General debate
on the Philippine tariff was concluded in
the house today having been in progress
daily since January 4. The bill will be
taken up for amendment under the five
minute rule and put on its passage either
tomorrow or the next day Preceding the
debate today the statehood fight made its
appearance on the floor for the first Tins
In the form of a personal explanation by
Mr. Babcock of Wisconsin, credited with
being the leader OF the opponents of the
joint statehood forces. Mr.. Babcock de-
MED that his course in opposition to the
bill was dictated by any feeling of revenge
because he had not been made chairman
OF the appropriations committee. He also
took occasion to state his position in favor
of tariff revision.
Tariff talks were made during the day
by Mr.. De Almond Of Missouri and Mr..
Keliher Of Massachusetts,, who spoke par
ticularly with reference to the needs of
that state. Speeches for the pending bill
were made by Messrs. Parker Of New Jer-
sey, Lamb of Virginia, Bennett of New
York and Randall OF Texas.
Those speaking against the measure in
cluded Messrs Goebel of Ohio, Davis OF
Minnesota, Tlndall OF Missouri and Camp
bell OF Ohio. The debate was closed by an
extended speech by Mr. Boutell of Illinois,
a member of the ways and means commit
tee and in favor of the bill
