SPORTS" AMONG BREEDS.
What Is Meant by the Term in Poultry
Raising.

Sports are very common among the
breeds of poultry that have been Gre
ated during the past 40 or so years.
The old breeds, like the black Lang.
shans, do not often produce sports, for
the reason that they have been bred
pure for many hundreds of years, per-
haps for thousands of years. But mod.
ern breeds, like the Plymouth Rock,
are given to producing sports.
On a Michigan farm the writer saw
three pure white chickens that had
Matched out of Plymouth Rock eggs.
The owners thought they must have
been imposed on in some way, but
could no explain it. They we're sure
the eggs that had been put under the
fowls were from their Plymouth Rock
hens, but were unable to explain how
they got the white chickens.
The result shown in the case is
.ommon. The Plymouth Rocks were
made up Of several breeds of birds, one
of which was white. That white
foundation crops out now and then in
white birds. The White Plymouth
Rocks were produced by simply breed.
ing these birds till a strain was OBJ
tanned that gave more white birds than
Of other colors. The White Plymouth
Rocks should constantly throw colored
sports for a long time to come, for
they have in them the blood of barred
Plymouths.
One OF the weak points about mod.
ern breeds Is this tendency to sport,
which occurs IN the general demon.
stration of the law of averages. There
Is nothing nor certain than the truth
of the law of averages, and this is the
u of the sporting. II in a Ply.
mouth Rock strain there Is one per
cent, of blood Of some pure white
breed. about M per cent. Of the birds
produced should be all white. AS q
matter of fact the percentage is very
much smaller than this, and that is
why white birds are not SO common
as n in a hundred.
The breeders are constantly bring,
Ing out new breeds, and, of course, all
OF these new breeds have to be pro
duced by crossing the old breeds. The
more breeds the more sporting will
occur. 1t takes many generations and
constant selecting Of the best to ge,
birds to breed true to color or form.
The sports of the breeds will always
be a temptation to the young breeder
to create a new breed. which he can dc
by ~in-breeding the sports.

SETTING THE BRIDE AT EASE.
"Widder's" Sympathy Went Out to
Fellow Passenger.

A couple recently married had Just
entered the train that was to bear
them to the mountains on their honey
moon, when they became aware OF the
close scrutiny OF them by a female pas.
senger, who had evidently spotted" a
bride and groom. The young wife, on
opening her handbag, let fall some
rice on the floor, and the woman
smiled. The other passengers regard
ed the couple with interest. Seeing
that the bride was every moment be-
coming more flushed and uncomfort-
able by reason of their scrutiny, the
woman in the goodness Of her heart,
leaned across the carriage.
"Never mind, my dear!" she said.
I'm a wilder now, but by this time
next week I'll be in the same fix my
self"

"One summer morning" he said,
"the approach of a great flock of sheep
obliged me to pull off the narrow coun-
try road. l halted my car, and watch
ed with interest the passage of the
sheep, the intelligent dogs and the
shepherd.
Il had a short talk with the shep.
herd about his odd and difficult trade.
"'Look here / said, what do you do,
driving sheep like this On a narrow
road, when you meet another flock
coming in the opposite direction?'
"'Well,' said the shepherd, we just
drive straight on, both of We, and the
one that has the best dogs gets the

large enough to roost, writes a cores
pendent of New England Homestead.
This is made from a dry goods box
four feet long, three feet wide and
three feet high. The front and bottom
are removed. Two strips are nailed
perpendicular on the front corner pro.
jecting one foot below the bottom Of
the box. This raises the front and
gives the roof the necessary pitch
when facing a down hill position. Two
strips nailed on each side form .
support for perches which are fasten.
ed together by cross pieces sc all may
be removed at one operation to be

open front and bottom seem a little
risky, considering the possibility Of
wandering cats, rats or weasels. But
we are willing to run some risks II we
can fill u own and customers pens

This one plan has enabled us to pro-
duce O%rpingtons well up to standard
