Tie BEST BREED.

The question is often asked. (Which
is the best breed of fowlsf' and quite
as often an attempt is made to give a
definite answer and name the best
breed. However if any individual in
stance of success with poultry were to
be investigated the fact would quite
likely be developed that it was the
kind of man and the care he gave his
flock rather than the variety of fowls
kept that should really be credited with
the success achieved. \ first class
man can make good money out of
scrubs, while a scr1D poultryman
would have hard scratching to succeed
with the best breed of fowls on earth.
The best combination is careful man
and good attention coupled with one
of the commonly accepted good
breeds. If good layers are wanted the
Leghorns. Orpingtons and Rhode Is
land Reds cannot be eXceIled: If a gen
eral purpose fowl is desired the Plym-
outh Rock and Wyandotte are all right,
while if heavier and more easily con-
fined breed is wanted the Brahmas or
Cochins will fill the bill.

In company with number Of north
Iowa horticulturists the writer recently
weat TO Mason City TO witness she final
Inspection of some twenty different
varieties of fan and winter apples
which have been CARRIED through the
winter in "a joint cold storage expert
ment which has been conducted hy the
United States department Of agricul-
ture i'm cooperation with the horticul.

The results of the experiment were

logical experiments carried or ia con
nection with the governments horti-
cultural extension work Among the
valuable points noted in the results Of
I the eXperim ant were the following:
First it was noticeable that that
fruit kept best which was put into
storage as soon MS possible after pick
ing and which was likewise handled
with most care from the tree to the
package in which it was stored. Again,
it was observed TO be true with all
varieties. and especially with the ten
der Wealthy and Jonathan, that those
apples were i'm the best condition Of
preservation at the end of the expert

were fully ripe. Uuderripe fruit Of
these varieties showed much shrivel-
ing during the period of storage.
Where apples were wrapped separate
ly in pieces of paper they kept much
better than when nrt together loose
in the box. Wealthies, which are but
fall variety, came through in spleu-
did shape when handled in this man
ner and were in excellent market con
dition. The Colorado Orange. Delavan
and Northwestern Greening showed
up in fine shape. The Malinda scalded
badly during the period Of storage and
was not in Il marketable condition. In
emphasizing the necessity of a more
careful handling of fruit intended for
shipping or storage Mr. Tenney. who
had just come from six weeks tour
or inspection through the orange dis
tricts of California, stated that ex-
periments which had just been con
Guided by the government seemed to
show that virtually all of the loss
which has been sustained for years
past as result Of the spelling of lem.
ons and oranges in transit amounting
in some seasons to S3.OO0000 has been
due to bruising OF the fruit as re
suit of careless handling. and he
stated that what was said with refer
ence t. the citrus fruits was equally
true of apples.

CHINA

THE CAPTURED JAPAN
ESE SUPPLY BOAT.
TATSU MARU SEIZED WHILE UN-
LOADING MUNITIONS
OF WAR.

Picking, March Sit Is announced
that the Chinese government will sur
render the Japanese steamer Tatsu
Maru, which was seized on February
by the Chinese customs cruisers out
side of Macao while unloading large
consignment of rifles and ammunition,
the rifles numbering several thousand.
It was originally charged that an at
tempt was being made to bring war
supplies into China for revolutionists.
The statement is made by officials
in the Chinese government that con-
spiracy is on foot to import 1000 or
5000 rifles and ammunition therefor,
and the government believes that the
munitions on the Tatsu Maru were in
tended for rebels on the Tonking Dor
der, but it has not been able to prove
the act of smuggling.
A dispatch from Toxic had stated
that the Japanese government was
maintaining determined attitude
With regard to the seizure by the Chi
nese officials of the Tatsu Maru, and
that it will demand an apology and
an indemnity from China. 1t was
stated also in this dispatch that the
Chinese foreign Office wished to sub
init the entire question to a mixed
court. To this, however, Japan would
not consent until the vessel was first
released.
The Toxic statement declared that
the Tatsu Maru was regularly cleared
from Kobe with a consignment of
arms and ammunition for Macao, and
that the Portuguese minister at Pc
king supported the contention of the
Japanese minister of foreign affairs
that the vessel was seized in Portu-
guese waters.
The armored cruiser Idzumi sailed
on Friday for Hongkong, her object
being understood to be the investiga-
ton of the seizure of the Tatsu Maru.
