An Approaching Doubt.
Ere long the merry bird will sing
Upon the budding tree;
The world will waken unto spring
That season fair to see.
But winter. like an aged churl.

And pinch the tiny plants that furl
Their petals near your door.
And so. midst hoping and regrets.
For many week will go
Shall we be gathering violets,
Or shall we shovel snow?

BIGGEST SUSPENSION BRIDGE
is SOON TO BE STARTED
[ Especial to The Sentinel. l

New York, April with four gi-
gantic bridges over the East river,
representing total cost of $500
900, numbered among its possessions,
New York shortly will undertake the
construction of another bridge of the
suspension type, which, when it is
finished about ten years from now,
will be the biggest of its kind on
earth.
All the plans are completed and
approved. All that remains to be
done before work begins on the struc-
ture, which will span the Hudson
river, is formal ratification by the
legislatures of New York and New
Jersey of a S21,OO0,0OO appropria-
tion for its construction.
The length of this new monster
will be 400 feet. or nearly a mile
and one-half. This will make it more
than 400 feet longer than the famous
Williamsburg bridge over the East
river. which is the longest suspension
bridge ever built
In addition to being the worlds
largest suspension structure it will be
the most expensive. Brooklyn bridge,
which is 6.0l6 feet in length. cost
$40, 000s 900, but that was before the
days of steel Had the new bridge
been constructed then it would have
cost, it is estimated. at least $780,
900. 900.
The total cost of the Williamsburg
bridge was s12, 100000. and its
length is 7,275 feet. The Manhattan
bridge, on which work was begun in
1901. which is not completed, will
have total length of 6,S54 feet and
Will cost $4,000, 900.
The new Blackwell's Island bridge,
which has just been completed, cost
100000 and is 7,449 feet long.
1t is of the cantilever type, the sec
ond largest of its kind in the world,
only the Forth bridge in Scotland be-
ing larger, though of much smaller
capacity.
The capacity of the city's largest
bridge at present is 100000 persons
every twenty-four hours, but the new
monster Will serve just twice this
number. to say nothing of 10000
vehicles.

THE SIZE AND TYPE
OF A BUFF ORPINGTON
BY JOHN o. WILLARD
Vice President of the NJ. s. c. Buff
orpington Club of Michigan

n r. COOK, in developing the Or
pington, according to his pub
~ lications, strove to combine three
great essentials in one breed OF fowls.
These are: 1st: To produce the larg-
est smooth-legged variety of st, ong,
quickly growing fowls of vigorous con-
stitution, End: To produce birds that
were especially good layers of large
eggs; and in season, good mothers for
a brood of chicks. 3rd: To produce
solid, compactly-built body, having an
extra large breast of the finest table
qualities, the question of color being
largely a secondary consideration all
the way through his experiments.
Now it is evident to every thought
full breeder, that any variety of fowls
to be a permanent and popular sue
cess, must combine all these three
qualifications, or at least the last two.
1t is now admitted in almost every
country on the globe that the Orping-
ton meets all three requirements more
fully than any other variety of fowls
yet brought before the public. Every
successful breeder must always keep
before him the utility side Of the poul-
try business. The raising, fitting up
and exhibiting the show birds is high
Los Angeles herald., 1909-12-26

a breed of fowls that will give you
eggs all the year round take the Orp-
ingtons. They make good mothers and
do we'll in large or small space.
There was at one time a belief that
to produce an ideal fowl for the table
the laying qualities had to be sacri-
feed. Careful selection has upset this
idea, and now there are fiocks of Orp-
ingtons that beat the lighter varieties
for laying, and, best of all, they lay
during the season when eggs are
scarce.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-12-26

ly commendable, but should never be
paramount to the production of good
layers to fill the egg basket, and good
table fowls to please and tickle the
palate. Only about one bird In twenty
five is a high class show specimen;
therefore, every breeder must figure
out when the profit must be earned
from the other twenty-four. It is at
this point that most breeders fail. The
Orpingtons are not distinguished from
other varieties by their color alone.
Color is common to all varieties of
Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes, Leg
horns, ETC., alike. Color never made
the Orpington useful or famous. 1t
is perhaps true in a general way that
better buff color has been developed
in all of the buff varieties than has as
yet been produced In the Buff Or
pington; therefore; If a breeder wants
color in its greatest perfection, it would
be well for him to confine his efforts
to some of the other varieties-perhaps
Buff Cochin Bantams, where a greater
degree of perfection has been reached
in soft, even golden, buff. Mr.. Cook
figured probably that color In an Or
pington was like clothes on a woman.
Neither the feathers nor the clothes
have anything to do with the person
ality of the woman or usefulness of
the Orpington. What Mr.. Cook sought
