CUBA.

T0OSS were PHEASANT anu pIOHlSlu6
ceremonies that took place in Havana
New Years day. Everybody mani
tested the liveliest interest in the occa-
sion and what it signified. The Gu
bans. saw In it matter of great import
ance to themselves, the oficial repre-
sentatives Of other countries offered
CONSIDERATIONS to both Cuba and Am
erica. while the Americans felt salts

pie of}the island in self-government.
When the Palma government succumb-
ed and American troops again appeared
on the scene, we were told that they
would remain permanently. Here was
another case of Great Britain and
Egypt. Uncle Sam would never let
90. All promises that he would were
for temporary purposes. The Cubans
would be soothed by them until such
time as it would be both conven-
lent and necessary to break the truth
to them.
But we are packing up, and sailing.
Having done, and according to the Gu
bans themselves done well what
we came to do and promised to do, we
are through. Cuba's day approaches,
and she appears to be ready for 1t.
The O1icials to take charge in her
name have been properly chosen, the
people are satisfied with the result,
and in Z few weeks the wheels will be-
gin to revolve. A Cuban will occupy
the presidency, and Cuban congress
to cooperate with him will be in sos
sion.
Tho new order will have the best
wishes Of the controlling Influences in
this country. Judge Taft has shown
his friendship for Cuba, and there is
every reason to believe that he will
use his great power as president in
all that pertains to the island for the
islands good. The relations between
Cuba and America must remain intim-
ate. and for the benefit of both coun-
tries should be cordial

theyswere In q tangle. Distrust OF ev-
erybody was the dominant feeling in
the island. Failure had set the people
against each other, and all factions
seemed set against the United States
It was situation that called for Arm
ness tempered with patience and di.
plomacy. Fortunately Gov. Magoon
possessed the necessary qualities, and
he soon had matters in hand. He has
acquitted himself Of his task so as to
receive the praise of all sides. There
is an impression that he is to be re-
warded with high ONCE under the
new administration. It should be a
high one. Judge Taft will need men oil
that stamp to assist him.

~V HERE are breeds, varieties and
strains Of poultry almost with
out end. To the beginner In
poultry culture the question OF
which one to select is a puzzling one,
and the older poultrymen often won
der If they would not do better to
change breeds. The purpose for which
chickens are kept will determine
which class of fowls is best. AS to
the varieties within that class, 1t Is
largely a matter Of individual prefer
ence. A brief description of some Of
the leading varieties may be of help
In making a selection.
The General Purpose Breeds.
Chickens may be grouped into four
general classes: ~ General purpose
breeds; (2) meat breeds; (0 laying
breeds; (N ornamental breeds. The
aim of the breeders of general purpose
fowls is to combine laying and meat
producing ability to the greatest ex-
tent possible. The general purpose
birds will not average as prolific lay
ers as some of the more strictly egg
fowls. For producing meat, however,
they are fully as efficient as the strict
ly meat breeds. For the general farm
er who is keeping poultry as a side
Issue the returns from the general pur-
pose breeds will usually be greater
than from any Of the more specialized
breeds.
The most popular and most widely
distributed of the general purpose
breeds is the Plymouth Rock. 1t is
medium sized breed, deep breasted and
well proportioned. Plymouth Rocks
are very good layers, especially the
first year. After the hens are a year
old they tend to become fat and slug
gish and lay fewer eggs. The meat is
of excellent quality. The chickens
make good broilers at from three to
four weeks of age or can be profitably
fed for later markets. They are early
maturing ard as rapid growers excel
all other breeds. Chicken feeders who
extensively put the Plym-
outh Rock in first place for this pur-
pose.
1ueIe are luIee NdIlelleS VI Ky III
outh Rocks-Barred, White and Buff.
The great trouble with the Barred
Plymouth Rock is the difficulty in
keeping the color markings up to stand
ard. They tend TO become ueevenly
barred, the bars become too wide or
too narrow or the general color too
dark or too light. From a utility stand
point this factor is of little Importance.
but where birds or eggs are sold for
breeding purposes it is important that
the color markings be up to standard.
The Buff Rocks have a tendency to
vary somewhat from the desired shade
and to produce black feathers in wings
or tail They average a little smaller
than the Barred or White varieties.
The White Rocks breed true to color
the easiest. The hens of this variety
show even more Of tendency to be-
come overfat than do those Of the
Barred variety.
Plymouth Rock eggs are brown,
which is something Of an objection in
The Breckenridge news. (Cloverport, Ky.) 1876-1955, 1909-10-06

some markets and an advantage with
others. The standard weight for the
breed is nine and a half pounds for
cocks and seven and a half for hens.
Plymouth Rocks are criticised some
what for lack of hardness as COM
pared with the other general purpose
breeds, and there is doubtless some
ground for this criticism. They may
be greatly improved in this point by
the use Of birds Of exceptionally strong
vitality in the breeding pen.
Next to the Plymouth Rocks in popu-
larity as a general purpose breed are
the Wyandottes. They average about
a pound lighter than the Plymouth
Rocks. The chickens are nearly as
rapid growers and produce meat of
as good or even better quality.
The Wyandottes are generally con-
Bidered to stand heavy feeding for
rapid growth a little better than most
Of the other breeds. The hens are
active and do not become overfat as
easily as Plymouth Rocks.
There are several varieties Of Wyan-
dottes, all the same type and having
the same general characteristics. The
only distinguishing point is the color
With this breed, as with the Plymouth
Rocks, the mixed colors are difficult
to breed true to standard. For the
