cier's fowl. 1t requires much skill to
breed for color, and two matings are
generally used. An established rule
for mating for cockerels is to use
standard color male with medium dark
color females and for pullets to use
medium light male and standard color
females The double mating is resort
ed to by many, yet rare specimens
have been produced from single mat
ings.
The standard weight of cocks is
91s pounds; hens, tx pounds; cock
erels, 8 pounds; pullets, 6h pounds.
above for the bentfi of hose makingt
The writer wishes to add to the
above for the benefit of those max
ing the inquiry that male and female
of this variety for show purposes
should be of the same color. The pur
pose of a cockerel mating is for the
production of exhibition males, the
females from this mating being too
dark for show purposes, but suitable
for producing fine cockerels.
A pullet mating is selected for the
production of exhibition females, the
males from this mating being many
shades too light in color for show
purposes, but are valuable to head a
pullet mating pen. Many have the
impression that a pullet mating will
produce more pullets than cockerels,
which is not correct. f. B. WEST.

BARRED PLYMOUTH ROCKS.

Barred Plymouth Rocks are the
most popular of any of the general
purpose fowls of any in the United
States, but for all that there are nu-
merous inquiries from all parts OF the
Pacific Northwest asking for a descrip-
ton of them, regarding their weights,
color and merits. With your permits
sion I will answer one and all through
the columns of The Ranch.
Farmers Bulletin No. 81 Of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture gives
a description of this breed Of fowls
that covers the ground so thoroughly
that it should be satisfactory to the
most exacting. 1t is as follows: The
Plymouth Rock is the most popular
of all breeds of poultry as general
purpose fowl; the Barred variety is
the most known, and it's history dates
back over a quarter of century. Va
rious breeds were used in it's making,
the belief being general that it orig.
inally came from a cross between the
American Dominique and the Black
Java 1t has also been shown that the
Light Brahma, Dark Brahma and Pit
Game have been used in it's making.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1908-11-01

The Barred Plymouth Rock is of a
grayish white, each feather regu-
larly crossed by narrow, parallel bars
of dark blue-black running in dis
tinct lines throughout the entire
length of the feather and showing on
the down or under color Of the feath-
ers. The barring is somewhat small
er on the neck and saddle feathers
than on other portions of the body.
A medium sized bird with broad, full
breast, rather long, broad body, me-
dunn sized wings that fold gracefully,
the wing fronts being well covered
by the breast feathers; moderately
large head, ornamented with an up
right bright red comb and wattles;
a large, bright red or bay eye, and
yellow beak, shanks and toes. For
the farmer or market poultryman
these fowls are favorites, being of me-
dunn size, we'll proportional, with a
deep, full breast, making a most ad-
mirable bird for market purposes.
They are hardy, mature early, and
make excellent broilers when from
to IL weeks old. They are good lay
ers the year round, and in winter lay
exceptionally well. Their eggs are
brown in color and average to a
pound. They are good sitters and ex-
cellent mothers.
The Barred Plymouth Rock, besides
being a practical fowl, is also one Of
the most sought after by fanciers. No
class is better filled at the average
poultry shows of the country. The
graceful figure, upright carriage and
active nature endears it to all as fan

old the feelings have passed into
three times. AS they approach this
age they get cracked wheat, beef
scraps, etc., and then are allowed free
range. This ration is not varied until
the pullets are old enough to lay, then
they get wheat in the morning, mixed
grain at noon, and mash of corn
meal wheat bran and middlings and
ground oats at night l stick to this
ration very closely. In order to i'm
prove the laying qualities of my fiocks

never from one that is not a good lay

BROWN EGGS AND WHITE.

1t is curious fallacy that the
brown-colored egg is necessarily SUI
perior to the ordinary white egg, a
belief which has led to the practice
of artifcially coloring the white egg in
imitation of the brown. 1t is doubtful
whether the color of the shell bears
any relationship to the nOuriShing
quality of the egg. AS those who rear
poultry know, it is merely an indica-
ton of the strain of the laying bird
Still, preference is very commonly
shown for the brown or coffee-colored
egg; the color is attractive, and, led
by the eye, the choice is very gener
ally made in favor of what is regard
ed as the richer and superior article
The practice of deception is thus en-
couraged The shell of the white egg
is stained in the simplest way, per-
haps by immersion in a decoction of
coffee berries or by means of aniline
dye. This resource may satisfy the
eye, but after all there is probably not
the slightest difference from the nu-
tritive point of view between the nat
urally brown-colored egg and the white
one. ------
Have you fixed UP your chicken
house yet, Mr.. PCultryman? They
should be as dry as your own house
and kept as fresh and clean. There
should be plenty of dry dust in which
your chickens may battle on wet days.
If you can, give some boy in the neigh
borhood sc each for a few hundred
dog salmon as soon as they begin to
run. Salt for twenty-four hours and
then dry for use next winter. About
December take one fish every other day
and cut into small pieces after soak
ing an hour or two and run through
sausage grinder. Mix with ground
feed and feed to hundred hens. Do
not forget to have a plenty of cracked
shells and gravel. Few chickens have
teeth suited to grind clam shells and
neither can they swallow them whole.
The hen is a machine. If you treat
her right, she will furnish you cases
of eggs this winter while your neigh
bors, perhaps, are getting only dozens
and wondering why their hens don't
lay.

POULTRY HOUSES.


The essentials of a poultry house
may be summed up briefly under sun
light, fresh air and warmth.
The sun being our best disinfectant,
the windows of the poultry house
should be so arranged that the sun
will see all the floor space during the
day. Windows should come to within
two feet of floor and extend to the
same distance from peak, large enough
to contain about one-third of house. If
there is a curtain before the roosting
quarters, it should be lifted during
the day and the sun allowed to pene-
trate every nook and corner of the
rooSting pen.
Fresh air is very essential for the
laying stock. Houses should not be
built to admit the fresh air through
cracks forming draughts, but admit
ted so that the air can be changed in
the house at will. One of the best
ways of accomplishing this is to have
the windows so arranged that they
can be opened every day. In the win
ter an hour or less would probably be
sufficient, but it is essential, even in
cold weather, to allow the house to
be purified by ventilation. For this
purpose a number are using burlap
screens which give good satisfaction.
Some of these plans show what is
called the open scratching she'd, where
nothing but screen wire is between the
outside air and the fowls as they are
exercising during the day. Ventllat1ng
shafts have not given the best salts
faction. Where the burlap curtain or
the open scratching shed is not used,
a small opening, say foot square for
every 12 hens, is sometimes made over
the window or near the roof towards
the south, and in this opening is placed
a cotton or burlap screen; similar
opening may be made beneath the
window; this arrangement allows a
moderate change of air continually
Warmth 1t is not meant that poul-
try houses are to be built warm, nor
artificially heated, but simply that
they are to be built SO that the fowl
will be comfortable. No animal can
do it's best if it is uncomfortable. Aim
to keep the temperature as even as
possible day and night For this pur-
pose it will be necessary to contrive
some simple arrangement that will
substitute during the day. To allow
the fowls to roost in the same pen
they have been exercising in during
the day. without extra covering, is not
wise. 1t is not the cold days, but the
cold nights, that keep the hens from
laying. Then if they can be made
more comfortable at night by means OF
the burlap curtain or the board parti-
ton, or anything else, let it be done.
The up-to-date farmers poultry house
is one with plenty of room, light and
sunshine, fresh air without draughts,
movable fixtures, convenient, built for
comfort according to modern plans to
suit his purse-Ontario Agricultural
