Plymouth Rocks hold unquestioned
first rank. For broilers or roasters
the White Wyandottes are considered
equally good. By some packers the
White Wyandottes are marked first
for broilers. One man stated that
White Rocks were more rangy and
coarser framed than the Barred va
riety, otherwise no objection was
found with the white or buff Plymouth
Rocks. The extreme popularity Of the
Barred Rocks is illustrated by the fact
that one dealer agreed to pay one-half
cent per pound more for this variety
than for other chickens. This was,
however discontinued The only criti-
cism raised against the Wyandottes
when compared with the Plymouth
Rocks, was that Of smaller size. One
packer expressed a preference for
silver over White Wyandottes. AS tr

THE BEST BREED OF FOWL
FOR THE GENERAL FARMER
Barred Plymouth Rocks High RanR.-E3y Oscar
Err Dairy Huspandman, Kansas.

The varieties Of poultry bred on the
farm seldom include ornamental va
rieues, and new breeds are not as well
represented as in the yards Of the
fancier AS an illustration Of this
point attention is called to the fact
that in the show room White Wyan-
dottes equal or exceed in number the
Barred Rocks. On the farm, however,
the Barred Rocks are many times as
numerous as the White Wyandottes.
An effort was made by representa-
tive Of the experiment station to de-
termine approximately the proportion
of breeds of chickens on the Kansas
farms. The subject was investigated
in two ways: First, by ascertaining,
from question blanks sent to farmers
or by personal visits to farms, the
variety of chickens kept; second, from
the opinions Of poultry packers and by
actual count of the chickens in receiv-
ing rooms of poultry packing estab-
lishments. 1t should be borne in mind
that the word variety" used in this
connection, does not mean pure-bred
chickens. From the studies made the
conclusion is drawn that about ten
per cent Of the poultry upon Kansas
farms are entitled to be called pure
bred. The great preponderance Of
Kansas Chickens are crosses and
grades in which one breed predom-
mates Poultry in which the crossing
has been so confused that the product
cannot be classified are listed as mon
grels. The following table shows the
result Of this investigation;

that they equal any chicken where the
trade demands a small carcass. It
was also remarked that Leghorn hens

the Plymouth Rocks. The Brahmas,
and more especially the Coehins, are
remarkably unpopular among the Kan
sas packers. This fact is especially
worthy OF notice when 1t is remem-
bered that these breeds are spoken Of
as meat breeds by many popular
writer's. The chief objection is be-
cause these varieties possess q large
frame with not enough meat to cover
it. As capons the Brahmas and Co

WAR ENGINE WITH RANGE or

Sea Coast Cities Could Be Destroyed
by Shells from Ships Far Out
at Sea Beyond Range Of
Ordinary Guns.

An electric cannon with a range Of
200 miles is said to be one Of the re-
cent developments in war equipment,
tidings of such a tremendous weapon
having come from England With
such a cannon France could easily
destroy great cities Of England, and
England could as easily do this same
by France. Germany could plant her
batteries 200 miles from the French
border and blot out great cities, and
the French could give them tit for tat.
A gun placed on top Of the Alps could
destroy countless millions Of dollars
worth Of property.
How would Boston feel If a feet 200
miles out in the Atlantic were able to
train guns on her? Or how would
Canada feel If from a position well
on the United States side Of the Cana
dian boundary we were able to hurl
huge shells at her?
Some wireless scout might report
that missile was on the way. It
would take a full minute, even with
the enormous initial velocity Of six
miles second, for the destructive Wis
itor to arrive. A minute is long enough
to get thoroughly scared in, but
scarcely gives the opportunity for an
entire population to escape.
II there we're any sound accompany
ing the discharge, 1t would be heard
about 16 minutes after the arrival OF
the proiectile. Probably no warning
would be given.

of cities. Boston might be blotted out

best luck, to find the enemy. And II

GAPES
The Disease IN Young Chickens and
How 70 Treat It.

This Is probably one of the most se-
rious causes Of loss among chicks Tt
is caused by a small worm that ac.
cumulates in the windpipe until the
chicks suffocate. The affected chicks
constantly try to dislodge the worms
by gaping and shaking the head. If
the chick is quite large it can usually
manage to throw of the disease. If.
however, the disease attacks small
chicks, they usually succumb to It, or
become stunted.
There are several ways of treating
gapes, but in all cases the first thing
to do is to separate the unaffected
ones from the rest and move them to
fresh ground, as the disease frequent
ly spreads rapidly if this preeaution
is not taken. The common earth worm
Is said to be a means Of spreading
the disease, as It is very frequently
found to be a host for cape worms If
there is danger of gapes, use solid
floors in all the coops and keep the
chicks confined when there are any
earth worms on the surface.
Several patent devices for the treat
ment Of gapes are on the market;
some of them are very good for the
purpose, while others are of doubtful
value. If the chicks are considered
worth the trouble, the quill and tur-
pentne treatment is probably about
the best, and is used as follows: Dir
quill in turpentine and then insert
1t gently into the windpipe. The quill
must of course enter the windpipe in
order to effect any cure. The opera
tor will see the opening Of the wind
pipe at the base of the throat. Nu
merous complaints are made that the
treatment does no good because peo
pie frequently insert the quill into tht
gullet instead of the windpipe.
A looped horsehair may also b.
used for dislodging the cape worm
Insert 1t into the windpipe; give i
three or four turns and then remove
after which the chick will cough u
any worms that have been dislodged
Cape worms may be killed by plac
ing the chicks in a closed barrel o
some other convenient receptacle an
forced to inhale strong tobacco fume
or those of a similar nature. Thi
method is not recommended yer
highly, as it is extremely dangerous
The treatment will of course kill th

as to the actual role Of its forward

relegated to the rank Of a remnant

not only that this conception is false,
but that the pituitary body. in its re-

general idea Of the plan Of the frame

this Is tackled good quality Of either
tarred paper or any Of the prepared

In the drawing, are for a door at the
end and a window in the front, with
small opening below to allow easy ac-
cess for the fowls. The tarred paper
is firmly tackled around the edges Of the
roof and relieves the necessity of
caves The laps where the widths of
paper over-reach each other should be
tarred, thus preventing leaking and
insuring against draughts. The floor
should be made separate in one piece
to facilitate cleaning and can be at
tached to the upper portion by means
of small hooks and eyes. Small mesh
netting is tackled on the inside of the
