HINTS FOR FARMERS
Breed and Variety.

The distinction between breed and
variety is not always remembered,
says the Farmers Advocate. Some of
the editors of poultry papers use the
two words Interchangeable; but, ac-
cording to the standard of perfection,
the two words are entirely distinct.
The word breed applies to any class
Of poultry, such as Plymouth Rocks,
Wyandottes, Cochins, Brahmas, Leg
horns, Orpingtons, etc., while the word
variety denotes the different divisions
Of these breeds. Thus the Plymouth
Rock "breed" is divided into the three
varieties" -Barred, White, Buff. The
Barred Rock is not a breed, but is
variety of the Plymouth Rock breed.
1t is not correct to speak of the Buff
Cochin breed, but the Buff Cochin va
riety, the other Cochin varieties being
the White, Partridge and Black.
These four varieties make up the one
Cochin breed.

Canine Notes.

Before putting fruit in glass Jars
wash them in soapsuds containing a
little soda. Then rinse well with
scalding water and set in the sun to
dry.
If you want the flavor of the fruit
to come out well, do not use an excess
of sugar
Never use poor fruit for canning.
The best is none too good. Let it be
as fresh as possible and not overripe.
Handle it as little as possible.
Do not stir your fruit when it is
cooking. If you want to know how it
is coming along, take out piece Of it
without disturbing the rest.
Give it brisk boiling. If allowed
to stand and simmer, it will not retain
its shape we'll.

INDEPENDENTS CONVENTION.
Naming of Candidate For Presidency
to Follow First Session.

TO FOLLOW FIRST Session.
Chicago July %. = Following the
opening session of the first national
convention of the Independence party,
interest in the convention centers to-
day in the party's choice of candl-
date.
1t is declared that the nomination of
Thomas L. Hisgen of Massachusetts
is almost certain. Several of the dele
cations met and indicated their pref
erence for him. Mr. Hearst was urged
on every hand to reconsider his de-
termination not to run, but he resolute-
ly declined to do so, nor would he in
dictate his preference for any of the
dozen candidates. Most of the lead
ers take the view that Mr.. Hisgen is
the most available.

of Indiana and Charles A. Walsh of

cussion of vice presidential candidates.
The opening of the convention in
Orchestra hall was spectacular and
impressive. There was quite as much
enthusiasm as characterized the initial
session of the Republican convention
here.
In his address as temporary chair
man William r. Hearst denounced
both of the old parties and their lead
ers, declaring the time had come for
new party which shall embody the
ideas of Jefferson, Jackson and Lin
coin. He was cheered many minutes.

In hoppers was proved a success. The
hopper fed pullets gave better results

Waste In Poultry Raising.

There is lots of waste in handling
poultry, and waste wherever it ap-
pears should be combated. One COM
mon waste on the farm is seen about
this time Of year, when a lot of old
broody hens are permitted to occupy
nests indefinitely, fighting among
themselves, sometimes breaking the
eggs of other hens that are sitting or
breaking new laid eggs. A little good
management can avoid most of this
trouble. Often hens are allowed to sit
in summer till they die on the nest,
literally devoured by lice.

Dairy Gossip.

Get rid of the hard milking cow. 1t
takes as much muscle to milk her as it
does four or five easy mixers.
1t is good policy to keep the COW up
to her maximum production from the
time she freshens until you want her
to go dry.
Special purpose ideas in the dairy
management are just as essential to
successful butter production as is the
special purpose COW.
Cows of strong dairy temperament
are what we must strive to produce.
When we get into the dairy business
for what there is in it none other is
worth fooling with.
Breed the cows to give the largest
yield of milk at the time when but
ter fat is worth the most money Give
the COW two months rest when but
ter fat is lowest.

The drum is easily accessible and can

Poultry Notes.

If the eggs are all gathered every
day and marketed frequently you can
safely offer strictly fresh eggs for sale.
If not, you cannot.
Now, they tell us that twelve eggs
contain as much nourishment as one
bushel of wheat. You can figure the
difference in cost of production.
Medium sized turkeys sell most
readily upon the market
Keep the drinking vessels clean II
you would keep the poultry healthy.
Good separator milk will make the

Notes About Reea.

Success in beekeeping depends large
ly on the man.
The orchard is one Of the best places
to keep bees.
The best way to keep millers out of
hives is to keep the hives full of bees.
The life of a bee during the busy
season is very short. Often during the
honey season they do not live longer
than six or eight weeks.
The prime swarm yields the surplus.
Keep honey, whether in the comb or
extracted, in dry place, as it will
readily absorb moisture and become
thin, watery and worthless.
