ray. The market for fowls and eggs IS
growing and the public is turning away
from scrub stock to get the best, on
the very reasonable ground that IL
takes as much time, trouble and money
to feed and care for q scrub chicken
as for Thoroughbred, and the thor
oughbred is a regular egg laying ma
chine, while the scrub is always an un-
known quantity
DIR. D. A. Saloman, in his book, "The
Diseases of Poultry" gives the following
admirable directions for combating chol-
era in poultry:
"The drugs most frequently used are
sulphur, copperas, capsicum, alum and
resin, given either alone or mixed to-
gether. The effect of these remedies is
either stimulating or astringent or both,
according to the combination that is
used. Some recommend a solution made
by diuting one dram of carbolic or hy-
drochloric acid with one quart of water.
This given to adult birds in the dose of
dessertspoontul.
1.-THE proper manner of combating cho-
era is to carry out strict sanitary pre-
cautions Remember that it is a conta-
gious disease and that it depends upon
germs which are in some way brought
upon the premises from some other place
where the disease exists. III contagion
may be carried in various ways. Some
times it is brought with newly pur-
chased birds; sometimes it comes with
eggs; sometimes it is carried by wild
birds, and sometimes it Is transported by
animals. The poultryman must gtrc d
against the introduction of contagion in
to his flock by all means at his COM
mand. He must isolate and quarantine
newly purchased birds for two weeks be-
fore they are mixed with his flock.
Should the disease appear in spite of
precautions isolate and disinfect The
isolation need not require a wide separa-
ton of The birds. Ten feet is sufficient

distance to prevent the communication
of this contagion, ii it is not carried in
some way from pen to pen by the at
tendant or by animals. 1t does not spread
to any appreciable distance through the
atmosphere"
The balanced ration is becoming a
matter of deep interest to poultrymen.
1t is thought by scientists that the prop
er food ration 1or hen should be in pro-
portion to one pound of protein to each
441s pounds of carbohydrat tes and body
sustaining food, the protein furnishing
the blood 2lbumen for eggs and the life
and vigor, we might say, of the fowl
Whatever you feed to them, see to it
that they get at least 1 per cent of pro-
tein to every AZ per cent of fat-forming
foods. We append hereto the relative

made use of for feeding of fowls. The

fancy for this beautiful breed and it is
now at the top all over England, and is
rapidly coming into favor in America.
The buff Orpington cock Edward VII is
almost a perfect bird, weighing near
eleven pounds, and has taken all first
prizes wherever he has been shown.
His progeny is numerous and coming
Into favor with people who have very
limited pen room for runs, as this fowl
is the most domestic bird known, and
never frets or pines in the pen. Tame
and easy to handle and laying 40 eggs
per year on an average, the breed is
much sought after. Edward VII will be
on exhibition at the Los Angeles poultry
show on Fill street, near Fourth, on
December next.
In black Orpingtons Holmby poultry
farm has the leading bird in the west,
Isaac Jr., winner of first, Woodville
(England),, and of the silver challenge
trophy and first Crystal Palace, London;
also Holmby Prince, winner of first Bur-
ton-on-Trent (England), and is own
brother to the Crystal Palace winners
last year.
The Let's yards boast the finest
black Orpington pen of seven in Amer
lea, at the head of which is the finest
specimen of black Orpington cock in all
America. These birds have taken rib
bons and prizes everywhere and have
given the Holmby yards national no
t1riety for pure stock breeding.
The Holmby farm has heretofore had
several fine breeds of other birds, but
is now devoting all energies to the
advancement of the Orpington fowls.
A visit to the yards, located on the
hills in rear OF the Holmby house
grounds, and presided over by Robert
Armstrong, gave. proof of the care and
cleanliness necessary to raise fine
stock. Houses and runs are after the
best patterns, and all that money and
knowledge can do to insure healthy
and pure birds is carefully and regu-
larly done here. OF course the original
cost of these birds was great, but
when it is known that Mr. Let's now
has a standing offer of $500 for pen
of seven black Orpingtons it will be
seen that the business end of the trade
is good. Single birds are worth $7h
and $50 each, according to grade and
age, and eggs are worth $25 per dozen,
AS a result of his fight for pure bred
birds Mr. Let's is the owner of forty
prizes and over 200 ribbons and has
the satisfaction of knowing that wher-
ever his stock has gone it has thrived
and multiplied.
Superintendent Robert Armstrong
speaking in a general way said: "The
climate of California, especially that of
tie south half of the state, is favorable
to success in poultry raising, but cli-
mate will not feed poultry any more
than people. 1t takes care and con-
stant watchfulness together with pa
tlence and sound judgmentyto feed and

cleanliness is chief. and next to that

Carbo-

An important study for poultry men is
the study of the fowls themselves, says
IT, NJ Bostwick in American Poultry;
This is as important, if not more i'm
portant, than the other method; but both
methods must go together. One might
study the literature for a year and still
rot be able to make a success with
poultry; the ideas learned in reading
must be practical and tested. And on
The other hand, if one studies his fowls
only he misses a good many valuable
ideas and methods used by others, which
he might learn if he had the right books
and papers. In studying the fowls 1t Is
good idea to keep accurate records Of
everything-of food consumed, eggs laid,
percentages of eggs hatched, percentages
of chicks raised, time spent in various
q avs, etc., etc. This is a fine way to
find out where the leaks are and where
the greatest profit lies Trap nests are
1ery valuable in many ways but one of
the most important uses of them. which
is not often mentioned, is that they en-
able one to know his birds and STUDY
hem individually. For beginner it is
an excellent idea to have a pen of only
few fowls which he can be with a
great deal in order to watch and study
them. Study their Individual traits,
watch them when they eat and when
they are on the nest, see how much they
exercise and otherwise learn all that can
be learned. In this way one can learn
a whole dot about 'henology' that he can
not learn elsewhere and that will be very
valuable to him later"

Poultry manure contains, in addition
to the T" 1igested waste from the food,
the eXcrement of the kidneys, which in
fowls corresponds with the urine of 9TH
er animals, and therefore hen manure is
more nitrogenous than the dung of other
domestic animals. The nitrogen in the
manure is chiefly in the form of uric
acid and this nitrogen is more available
for growing plants than that in other
farm manures. Fowl manure is highly
valued for all crops which il is desired
to start quickly. 1t is recommended as
an excellent excitant for getting corn
crops well started, and is very valuable
as a dressing for asparagus, strawber-
ries tomatoes, small fruits, orchards
and for grass land. 1t will be found to be
a very reliable and dependable fertilizer
for nearly a'l garden truck with the pos
sible exception of root crops like beets
and turnips for which it is a little too
strenuous and unless cautiously used
will make them run almost wholly to
tops. For flower gardens, if used spar
ingly or well mixed with loan and plas-
ter, it will prove excellent.

History of Black orpingtons
L. e. Kiser in The Poultry Keeper,
speaking of the history of Orpingtons,
says:
THE various varieties of Orpingtona
have different origins and are not, as one
would naturally suppose, all of the same
race. This accounts for the difference in
type of the varieties. The late Mr.. Will
liam Cook is given the distinction of
originating them ALL or at least strains
of all varieties, though there are un-
doubtedly other strains which do not
carry the same lines of blood. 1t will
therefore be necessary to treat each vari-
ETY. separately.
BLACK Orpingtons were the first vari-
ETY. brought out by Mr.. Cook in 1886 and
named after his residence. He gives the
evolution of the breed as follows: L
commenced mating Minorca cocks with
Black Rock hens, then Langshan cock
to the above hens. l may mention that
1 used birds which exhibitors would have
termed useless-Minorca cocks with red
in their ear lobes, which caused them TO
be unsuited for breeding pure birds, the
black Plymouth Rock hens thrown on
one side by exhibitors as being sports
only from the gray; and the clean legged
Langshans, of no use whatever to breed
birds such as were required by the
Standard of the Langshan club at that
time. Such birds as these were put on
one side for laying purposes or for the
pot
