breed is nine and q half pounds for
cocks and seven and q 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 10 the Plymouth Rocks in pOpu-
larity as n 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 Wyaadottes are generally con
sidered 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 WAN
dottes. all the same type and having
the same general characteristics. The

|" 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 IL they would not do better TO
change breeds. The purpose for which
chickens are kept will determine
which class OF fowls is best. AS 10
the varieties within that class, Il Is
largely a matter OF individual prefer
ence. 4 brief description of some OF
the leading varieties may be of help
In making n selection.
The General Purpose Breeds.
Chickens may be grouped into four
general classes: ID General purpose
breeds; CD meat breeds: co laying
breeds; ca 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 rs a side
issue the returns from the general pur-
pose breeds VIII 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 n year
old they tend u 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 aye or can Toe profitably
fed for later markets. They are early
maturing ana rs rapid growers excel
all other breeds. Chicken feeders who
crate-fatten extensively put the Plym.
outh Rock iu first place for this pur-
pose.
There are three varieties OF Plym-
outh BocKs-BarrUd White and Buff.
The great trouble with the Barred
Plymouth Rock is The difficulty in
keeping the color markings up TO stand
ard. They tead 10 become unevenly
barred. the bars become too wide or
too narrow or the general color too
dark or too light. From utility stand
point this factor is Of little importance,
but where birds or eggs are sold for
breeding purposes II is important that
the color markings be up 10 standard
The Bun Rocks have tendency to
vary somewhat from the desired shade
and TO produce black feathers In wings
or tail. They average n 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 cf tendency 10 be-
come Ovcrf3f than do those OF the
Barred variety
Plymouth Rock eggs are brown.
which Is something Of an objection In

great deal OF time TO breeding for
fancy points solid color Is preferable.
one Of the newest OF the general pur.
pose breeds Is the Rhode Island Red
These fowls are very hardy and for
that reason well adapted Co farm con.
ditions. They rank up wcu with the
plymouth Rocks and Wyandottes In
laying ability and as meat producers.
They are about the same size as the
Wyandottes. the standard weight being
eight and one-half pounds for the cock
and six and one-half pounds for the
hen. The color is a brilliant red. with

ing of TO black. The exact shadc OF
color varies considerably.
There are a number OF other general
purpose breeds. such as the Dom.
iniques. Buckeyes and Javas, The lat.
ter are about the same size as the
Plymouth Rocks, though of a little
different shape. They lay well. are
fairly good for meat and are good sit
tiers There are two varieties. black
and notified. The objection applies to
this breed that Is made to all birds
with black plumage-that the black
pinfeathers detract considerably from
the appearance OF the dressed fowl.
Such birds are seriously Disseminated
against in the markets -he foregoing
breeds have been developed In this
country and are known as American
breeds. There is also an English
breed. the Orpingtons. that gives very
good satisfaction as a general purpose
fowl.
The Meat Breeds.
The meat breeds. most Of which are
Asiatics, are the oldest breeds In this
country. The Brahmas. one OF the

Taking Care Of Yourself.

There never was n time when poo.
pie paid as much attention to their
health and strength as they do now.
Time was when fine stock and fine
horses were fed more carefully than
human beings.
The result of properly balanced ra-
tiops has worked wonders with stock
and recent experiments are proving
that the same thing is true of man
kind
Il has been found that Quaker Oats
eaten often and regularly taking the
place Of heavy. greasy foods viii work
wonders in the health and strength of
a family.
School children fed frequently on
Quaker Oats thrive physically and are
always capable of the best work at

ond there was silence and immobility.
Even the storm of fire from the other
ships had ceased.
Norma alone seemed endowed with
power of movement, and sprang quick
ly from lever to lever and switch to
switch, issuing her battle cry. The
dynamos! The dynamos!" she called.
Full speed, and stand clear for fear
of accident! I've thrown the magnet
currents! Quick! all your power be-
fore others can train gun on us!'
Her voice was sharp and decisive, and
her words snapped like lashes, driving
them to action. STEADY, steady!"
With almost the instantaneousness
of its stop, the radioplane shivered and
throbbed with increased energy. The
dynamos hummed and reared, the
Norma quivered like n race horse
under cruel whip, then steadied
itself, seemed to gather its forces to-
gether, gave one mighty lift, and be-
gan to ascend. The frightened cries
from without subsidized in stupefaction.
The fighting admiral with clenched
fists was running the length of the
radioplane, staring through the lower
ports, and hoarsely voicing his exulta-
ton, his eyes flaming with the joy of
victory.
Out on the sluggish waves which
had now changed to n coldly cleaning
gray the other vessels of the Japanese

ocean 10000 tons of steel-a floating
fortress believed but an hour ago to be
invincible-and bear it away. Even
as they watched they saw this strange
god which had grasped the pride OF
Japan in his clutch deliberately sha
ping his flight higher and higher into
the great void of the heavens and
passing out of their world.
OF what use were guns against
these strange visitants, whose only
human mark was the flag of the de-
spised enemy? In hopeless screams OF
terror their sirens awoke the echoes
with weird, despairing walls, and their
engines under full speed sent the
screws flashing through the water in
a last desperate effort to escape by
flight. And while their prows tore the
waves the superstitious sailors took
| their disaster as an omen of heavenly
wrath, reverted to the religion of their
ancestors. and Frustrated themselves
in an agony of prayer; but every
chance was denied them, and even
their trust in speed to evade seizure
was Intellectual.
Even as the Ito, held fast by the
Norma, was becoming a speck against

scarcely less abrupt descent upon the

DIDN'T REALIZE
How Injurious Coffee Really Was.

Many persons go on drinking coffee
year after year without realizing that
it is the cause of many obscure but
persistent ailments.
The drug-caffeine--in coffee and
tea, is very like uric acid and is often
the cause OF rheumatic attacks which.
when coffee is used habitually, become
chronic.
A Washington lady said, recently:
Il am sixty-five and have had a good
deal of experience with coffee. / con.
slider it very injurious and the cause
of many diseases. / am sure it causes
decay of teeth in children.
