COLUMBIAN WYANDOTTES.

An admirer says of the comparative
ly new breed called Columbian Wyan-
dottes: They are another addition to
the Wyandotte varieties, and makes
the Wyandotte family of fowls con-
sist of eight distinct varieties-the
Silver, Golden, White, Buff, Black,
Partridge and Silver Penciled. With
successful management the breed has
attained quick popularity and though
they are yet far from the ideal, they
are fast filling the requirements.
What their origin may have been
makes no material difference, as time
enough has passed since the combina-
ton of the breeds that produced the
Columbian Wyandotte to allow them
to have an individuality of their own
and makes them distinctively Wyan-
dotte. 1t seems that the White Wyan-
dotte and the Light Brahma would be
the cross that would be most likely to
bring out the shape and feather.
The Light Brahma is one of the old
est breeds and has long been favor
ite fowl because it is practical fowl.
It's beauty of feather has always been
admired by fanciers, the beautiful
black lacing of the hackle and black
feathers of the tail make a striking
contrast with the pure white plumage
of the body. The Wyandotte taking
rank with the best as a utility fowl,

not clearly understood by all poultry
raisers. To many the only apparent
difference in type is that the Plym-
outh Rock has a single comb, but the
types of these two breeds are quite I'M
like when they are bred true to prop
er form.
The Plymouth Rock is about pound
larger, the weighing being as follows
Cock 91a pounds cockerel, 8; hen,
715; pullet 6h. In Wyandottes, the
weights are, cocks, S1a pounds; cock
erel IL hen, 613 pullet, 51a. The
difference in size is not great, but there
is a material difference. Some prefer
one of these sizes, some the other.
In shape the differences are notable.
In word it may be said that "medi-
UNI" describes the Plymouth Rock. The
Rock has medium sized comb, medl-
UNI length of back, medium length Of
leg, medium length of body, medium
length of tail. The Wyandotte is
broad and short" in the various Sec
tions The constant effort of the breed
ers is to keep the two breeds from
closely resembling each other in type.
Both breeds are beautiful The me-
dunn type Barred Rock, graceful in
carriage, neither down on the ground
nor up on stills is surely beautiful
bird, and so is the short round, broad
Wyandotte.
Of the Plymouth Rocks there are the
following varieties recognized as
Standard: Barred, White, Buff, while
the following varieties make up the
Wyandottes: Silver, Golden, White,
Buff, Black, Partridge, Silver Penciled,
Columbian.

ROCKS AND WYANDOTTES.

The two most popular breeds or
poultry in this country today are
Plymouth Rocks and Wyandottes, says
Farmers Advocate. They are Ameri-
can breeds, and they meet the Ameri-
can demand for a utility fowl. Barred
Plymouth Rocks and White Wyan-
dottes are the two varieties most nu-
merously represented at most winter
poultry shows. The Rhode Island
Reds, however, pushed them closely
during the past season. Probably more
White Wyandottes are exhibited every
winter than any other variety, but in
spite of this fact the Barred Rock is
the most popular variety in this
country. AS many White Wyandottes
may be in the hands of fanciers, but
on the farms the Barred Rock is far
in the lead
The difference between the Plym-
outh Rocks and the Wyandottes is

sarily more labor. Cracked wheat and
corn, fine grit and oyster shells, to-
gether with what other cracked grains
or seeds you can obtain, should enter

Besides the feed, see that the birds
have an ever abundant supply of fresh
water before them. Use sanitary drink

tain drink from and not befoul the

TUBERCULOSIS IN cows.
How 1t Was Stamped Out of the New
York Experiment Station
Dairy Herd.

I'm 1890 it was found that more
than half the animals of the
New York State Experimental
Station herd were affected with
tuberculosis. In 1901 the Bang
method of controlling tuberculo-
sis was applied to the herd.
The Bang method. consists of
destroying all animals which show
pronounced physical symptoms OF
the advanced stages of tubercu-
losis and dividing the remainder
on the basis of the. tuoerculin
test. Tuberculin tests are made
at intervals to detect any new
cases which may develop. The
milk from the tubercalous ami
mails is heated sufficiently to de-
stroy any disease germs which
may be present. Practically alb
calves are sound at birth and re-
main 80 If proper precautions are
taken against subsequent infec-
ton.
Within four years the natural
increase ia the herd amounted to |
more than the original number of |
diseased animals, and we now
have Il sound herd which, is better
III all respects than the one with |
which we started and we. have
accomplished this With o mini
mum OF trouble and expense. It
wonld seem that our experience
might be valuable object lesson
to- the castle owners of the, State.

maintain the Michigan City harbor next

He will also ask for an appropria-

WANT MORE PROTECTION
Additional Policemen Are
Needed on the East
Chicago Force.
Especial to THE TIMES. }


East Chicago, Ind, Dec. All that
is now needed to put the city of East
Chicago upon a purely metropolitan
basis is the addition of several new
policemen to the regular force. and
tention of the council within few
days.
There is still considerable portion
of the city which is not give insufficient
police protection. on account of the
distance the police would be compelled
to walk in covering their beats. This
unprotected section of the city is most
ly in the outlying district, between East
Chicago and the Harbor. While there
are not many residences in this par
ticular section, it would be an easy
matter for burglar to gain admission
to one of them and secure any amount
of valuables before the police could
reach the scene.
Chief of Police Higgins is proud of
his present force, declaring that they
are as able set of men to be found in
Indiana, but believes that the addition
of three or four new officers would
greatly minnie the number of rob-
berries throughout the Harbor section
of the city.
The new police and fire station al
the Harbor will be completed shortly
after the first of the year, and wher
the alarm and report system being
contemplated by the chief is given the
necessary recognition by the council
and installed, no better regulated pc.
ilice department will be found in thi.
section of the state.

RINK IS DESTROYED
BY A BIG BLAZE
Ten Thousand Dollar Fire
Again Visits Gary
This Morning.
BUILDING WILL Be REPLACED
Police Believe That Rink Was Set
on Fire By Discharged
! Employees

The skating rink in Gary, located at
the corner of Fifth avenue and Massa-
chusetts street and made famous by the
fact that President-eIect William How
ard Taft spoke there during the recent
political campaign, burned to the
ground early this morning from a fire
which is believed to have been of in
cendiary origin.
The building was owned by " U.
Young and H A. Vossler, of the real
est tate firm of Young & Vossler, and
DR.. c. H Long of Chicago. There was
SIS, 900 insurance on the building and
the owners have announced that they
will at once begin the erection of an
other rink to take its place.
| Fire Couldn't Be stopped.
The fire started this morning at about
4:3 Ga. m. and was not discovered un-
| til half an hour later. When the fire
was discovered it had gained such head
way that there was no use to attempt
to stop the progress of the flames.
The building was all of wood and il
burned like finder. The police are OF
the opinion that the fire was started
by incendiaries, for there are evidences
that 1t started in the rear of the build
ing and at one corner At the time
| the fire started there was fire IL
either of the stoves in the rink, ant
the owners do not see how the build
ing could have caught fire In any othel
way.
Some time ago there. were severa
young fellows who were employed ii
the building and were discharged per
emptorily. The police have started al
investigation along the line that pos
sibly these young men were responsible
for the fire.
Building Lasted Half an Hour.
So hot was the fire and so quickl,
did 1t spread that 1t did not take NOR
htn half an hour to consume the Who'll
building. The owners announce tina
they will at once begin the erection
of a new brick rink which will be tn
most expensive one in Lake county ]
will be larger than the old one and vii
be upto date in every respect.
There were several hundred dollars
J worth of skates burned in the fire.
