How Crowd of Villagers Stirred the

There was the usual crowd OF vii
layers sitting on the postoffice steps
waiting for the mail to be distrib

out saying a word. and at the end Of
fifteen minutes one of the men winked
at the crowd and said:

about the big earthquake in Vermont,
with 10000 people killed."
Uncle John looked at him In a
weary way and shook his head.
And the cyclone in Connecticut yes

continued the man.
Uncle John yawned and was not
the least interested.
"The Ohio river rose 200 feet of a
sudden the other day and carried the
city of Cincinnati down stream. Tens
of thousands of people lost their lives.
Any of your relatives down there,
Uncle John?"
The old man slowly shook his head
and reached down to pick up silver
and pick his teeth with it.
And the whole state of Pennsyl-
vania is caving in" said the joker,
~and by tomorrow there will be a
great lake where 100000 or 5000, 900
people have lived"

word. In fact, he yawned and
stretched over it.

DO YOUR OWN THINKING.
Practical Points OF Different Rreeds
Of Fowls.

Articles describing the strong and
weak points of different breeds, from
the practical poultry keepers view.
point, appear from. time to time In
farm and poultry publications. A
majority OF these articles are written
by men and women who faithfully
describe the merits and faults of the
fowls of this or that variety which
they have kept.
Those who have had little or mo-
experience in the business of poultry
raising are likely to accept these
statements as final and to avoid GER
tain breeds and adopt certain other
breeds upon the recommendation of
the writer's of these articles. That.
however, is not safe thing to do.
declares Farmers Review. Because
certain man found fowls of a GER
tain variety poor layers, excellent
table fowls. slow to mature and good
foragers does not by any means
prove that all fowls of the same vari-
ETY. have the same merits and the
same faults. 1t simply means that
the few specimens of the variety
winch this man bred proved, under
MS treatment, to be what he de-
scribed.
There are no principal character
istlcs, such as the ability to lay extra
well, the trait of maturing rapidly.
bearing confinement well, ETC., which
may be put down as the exact attri-
Dutes of all fowls of certain breed
or variety. The fact is, the useful
ness Of any fowl depends upon its
care and it's breeding for generations
back. A brood of chicks Matched
from eggs laid by fowls which were
Indifferent layers and which were in
turn bred from Indifferent layers, can
not by any means be made to pro-
duce high average yield of eggs, no
matter how well they may be housed.
cared for and fed.
On the other hand, flock of
chicks bred from long line of heavy
layers will prove good egg producers
under rather unfavorable conditions.
though one or two seasons of mis-
treatment will tear down the laying
tendency which has been built up by
the work of several years. In select
ing the breed, therefore, take one that
best suits your fancy but obtain the
stock from breeders who are known
to have vigorous. healthy fowls and
who have bred them for productive
ness during a series of years with
success. Then you have only to con-
inn hot,
haps improve, the value of the breed
selected for eggs, table poultry or
both. as the case may be.

USED BY TIE DOCTORS.
Ninety Per Cent of the Drugs Pre-
scribed Are Patent Medicines.

Despite the opposition of physicians,
especially Of those whose experience
has been neither far reaching nor
profitable, to patent medicines, nine
ty per cent of all drugs that physi-
clans use are put up and compounded
by manufacturing Commensurate, in
fact, patent medicines just as truly
rs if they were advertised in the
newspapers.
The average doctor knows little or
nothing of pharmacy and is, there
fore, glad to depend on the very medi-
cines, which in public he condemns,
just as he is obliged in many cases
to depend on the diagnosis of the pa
tent himself, even while publicly de-
crying what he calls "self-diagnosis."
How rapid has been the growth of the
professional use of patent or ''pro-
prietary" medicines is shown in an
article written for the Journal of the
American Medical Association for
September 20, 1906, by A. jacob, M.
D., Ii. d. He relates that $4,000 pre-
scriptions, compounded in several
drug stores were carefully examined.
From 1850 to 1870 no prescription was
found for patent" or proprietary"
medicines. In 1874 but one prescrip-
ton in $500 called for ready-to-use
remedies. Between 1875 and 1880 the
number calling for patent" or "pro-
prietary" medicines .equalled two per
cent of the total. This increased to
5 per cent in the period between 1880
and 1890. In 1895 it was 12 per cent,
in 1898 it was 15 per cent, and in 1902
{, 1903 was from 20 to 25 per cent.
! DR.. jacob says that in large
store he was assured that 20 per cenN
of the prescriptions were for patent.
or proprietary" medicines, and this
probably is approximately the correct
proportion at the present time. From
this it would seem that if the patent
and proprietary" medicines are good
enough for physicians to prescribe in
seven cases out of ten they are good
enough for family use in cases of
necessity and where the symptoms
are wen known and as easily under
stood by the people as by the doc
tors.

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

Sports are very common among the
breeds OF poultry that havegbeen Gre
ated during the past 40 or SO years.
The old breeds, like the black. Lang
, shaHs, 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
a6rn 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 not explain it. They were 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
common. The Plymouth Rocks were
made up of several breeds of birds, one
nj which was white. That white
foundation crops out now and then in
white birds. The White Plymouth
Rocks were produced by simply breed
ang these birds till a strain was OBJ
tained that gave more white birds than
of other colors. The White Plymouth
Ntocks should constantly throw colored
sports for 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 more certain than the trutl
OF the law of averages, and this is the
cause OF the sporting. If in Ply
mouth Rock strain there is one pc
cent. Of blood of some pure whit,
breed, about one per cent. of the bird
produced should be all white. AS
matter of fact the percentage is yer,
much smaller than this, and that i
why white birds are not so common
rs one in a hundred.
The breeders are constantly brins
ing out new breeds, and, of course, al
of these new breeds have to be prc
duced by crossing the old breeds. Tn
more breeds the more sporting Wi
occur. 1t takes many generations an
constant selecting of the best to &c
oirdssto breed true to color or form

have adopted the plan of substi-
tuting large roosting coop for each
SO or 40 chicks as soon as they are
large enough to roost, writes CORES
pondent 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-
3ecting one foot below the bottom of
the box. This raises the front and
gives the roof the necessary pitch
when facing down hill position. Two
strips nailed on each side form
support for perches which are fasten-
ed together by cross pieces so all may
be removed at one operation to be
sprayed.
We move this coop twice a week
and it is always clean and fresh. The
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 if we
can fill our own and customers pens

Feeding Young Chicks.

A flock of young chickens is very
much like drove of pigs. when you
once get them used to being fed IN
one place. they will always be there
at their regular feeding time. A self
feeder arrangement is all right, but
must be enclosed in pen where the
chickens may get but the old hens
cannot First of all, after such an ar
rangement has been made, is to get
the flock in the habit of eating there,
then all is easy. As long as they are
fed outside, they >wilf not usually
come to the pen. -
