~HE selection Of the breed Of
poultry is always a momen-
tous problem to the beginner.
There are some poultry breed
ers and far too many farmers who
make this problem OF breed selection a
continual one and are always chang
ing or sending away for sitting Of
eggs Of some newly advertised breed
OF poultry or swapping roosters with
the Beighbors Such fckleness. Of
course, prevents all progress.
For those who are breeding standard
bred poultry and whose main object ia
keeping fowls is to win the prizes at
the shows and thereby sell stock to
farmers and other breeders the selec-
ton of breed is a most important ques-
ton Could one always select the
breed which is to be popular five or
ten years hence making money in poul

majority Of those who tie to novel and
untried propositions. whether II be in
fancy poultry or mining stock, get the
worst Of the deal
The following general statement may
be laid down as a safe guide: Poultry
shows and the poultry fanciers are
usually several years ahead Of the
farmers in their breed fancies; hence
the man who selects the variety Of
fowls which are steadily gaining
ground among the breeders will have
good chances Of finding a market for
his stock among the farmers a few
years hence. but of course his chances
Of selling stock TO other fanciers will
not be as good as the man who takes
/ up with new breeds still earlier In the
| game. The reader must not interpret
me to mean thar poultry breeds come
| and go as do fashions in ladies hats
They are furthermore like mems clothes.
| in which there are always some changes
Of fashion, but also few leading types
which hold their own pretty well from
year to year
Popularity Of Breeds.
Poultry breeds are supposed to differ
in form and habits. while the varieties
Of each breed differ in the cOloring Of

hibited at shows and advertised in

Plymouth Rocks rank. Barred, White
and Bun, in the popularity Of varieties
These three types are shown in more
nearly even number than in the case
OF Wyandottes, where the Whites are
exhibited more numerously than the
other FIVE or six varieties put together
Among the Leghorns. the Single Comb
White Is now easily the leading va
riety, though a few years ago Brown
Leghorns were the more popular.
That the representation of breeds on
farms is quite different from that of

from the following percentage of
breeds on farms which the writer tab

AN EXCURSION ON
The NORTHEAsTER
Will be Run to the Mcneil Experime
Station, the Fare Being $1.1o for I
Round Trip From Hattiesburg
August "a and 25. ~

General Passenger Agent HaWiey Of
the Gulf and Ship Island railroad has
notified the Commercial Club that q
special rate of one fare plus 25 cents
will be put in effect on that road on
August "a and %, on account of the
Farmers Institute to be held in Hat
tiesburg on these dates. The Com
mercial Club will make an effort to
secure a large attendance of farmers
residing along the line of that rail
road, and it is expected that the liber-
al rates offered by the Gulf and Ship
Island will be of great benefit in I'm
ducing a large number to attend the
institute.
The first day will be devoted to lee
lures by specialists from the Missis-
sippi Agricultural and Mechanical col.
lege and from the agricultural depart.
ment at Washington. On August %
the last day of the institute, those in
attendance will be given an opportuni
| ty to visit the Mcneil experiment sta
tion, the plan being to spend an en-
tire day at the station, where the in
stitute instructors will explain the
methods employed by the government
in the production of various crops.
The annual excursion to Mcneil
will be run by the New Orleans and
Northeastern railroad on that date
the train to leave Hattiesburg at 8 40
in the morning. A rate of $110 for
the round trip from Hattiesburg will
be offered for the occasion.

EXCURSION NOT
WELL PATRONIZED
only Twenty-seven Tickets to Gulf
port Were Sold at Local Ticket
Offices This Morning.

The Jackson excursion to Gulfport,
which was run on account of the
Woodmen Encampment, passed
through Hattiesburg at o'clock this
morning with less than dozen pass
engers aboard when it reached this
city.
The train left Jackson at 2:40 this
morning, and intended to pick up pass
engers at all points between that city
and Gulfport, but the passengers failed
to show up. Only twenty-seven ex-
cursion tickets were sold at the local
ticket office, which was great sur
prise to the company's representative
here, who had anticipated a very large
crowd of excursionists.
The idea of special to be made up
at Hattiesburg was abandoned on &C.
count of the lack of interest. The
small number of people taking advant
age of the reduced rates is attributed
to the fact that large number of peo
pie from all points on the Gulf and
Ship Island went to Gulfport Monday
and Tuesday, in order to remain dur
ing the entire week.

A SMALL BLAZE
ON Front Street
Fire Department Was Called Out at
an Early Hour This Morning, and
Did Excellent Work.

The Hattiesburg Fire Department
did excellent work at a fire which oc-
Cured at S02 Front street, at 2:45
o'clock this morning.
The fire originated in a building
which had been occupied as a resi-
dence by a Mrs. Allen, but which had
been recently abandoned by the ten
ants, their household effects being left
in the building. The house was en-
veloped in flames when the depart
ment reached the scene, and rapid
work was necessary to save adjoining
property.
The blaze was quickly taken under
control, however, with bur slight dam
age to the house next door. The ORR
gin of the fire is unknown.

While the other mechanics were MAX

english BANKERS
MUST RECEDE
New Orleans Banker, Just Returned
From Europe, Gives Out Inter-
view in New York.

Washington, Aug. 10.-Sol WeXler,
banker of New Orleans, who has just
returned from a business trip of two
months to Europe, said yesterday, in
speaking on the international situation
with regard to cotton bills of lading,
that English bankers would have to
recede from their radical stand, that
American interests, banks or other
concerns, must guarantee bills of lad
ing on cotton.
1.-The English bankers he said,
must modify their position. TO
carry out their demands would render
impracticable the transaction of bust
ness. We exercise the ordinary care
that is necessary on the part of bank
ers. They must do the same in Eng
land. What adjustment of the situa7
ton will be made I do not know, but

New Orleans, Aug. 10.-The Port
land Coal and Cement Company has
offices in Hibernia building, but
none of the officials could be found
there Tuesday. The holdings of the
company are on the Indian river, and
consist of coal fields and deposits of
cement. The concern was organized
to barge coal to New Orleans, the in
tention being to make this a point for
distribution both of coal and cement.
Negotiations have been on for some
time for the necessary property for
terminals, near Claimette. Mr.. Rob-
bins, the new head of the company,
is known from statements that he
made here last spring to be strong
advocate of the practicability of sup
plying the lower Mississippi Valley
with Alabama coal, so it is believed
to be assured that the original plans
of the company will be carried out.

The rain fell in torrents for period

The damage was confined to the
burning out of a small number of
telephones and some fuses at the
plant of the Hattiesburg Traction

REPAIRS Will

Whole Years.

Jackson, Miss, Aug. 10.-After two
years Of hammering, saving, painting
and general repair work, with its at

nearing completion Of the work on
the Governors mansion.
The legislature of 1908 authorized
certain repairs and improvements to
the mansion, and the contract was
let soon after the session adjourned.
The contractor took charge OF the
building in May, and Governor Noel
and his family have been cramped for
room and have gone through all the
annoyance consequent upon the work.

Splendid SPECIMENS OF
HOME-RAISED PRODUCTS
Punch, Ice Cream and Cakes and Mu-
sic Were Furnished for Entertain
ment of visitors-Event Was Huge
Iy Enjoyed.

Notwithstanding the unfavorable
weather which prevailed late yester-
day afternoop and evening, the public
reception given by the Hattiesburg
Commercial Club last night was at
tended by perhaps a hundred ladies
and gentlemen.
Every preparation for the entertain
ment of visitors had been made, and
the new club rooms in the fairfield
building presented most pleasing ap-
pearance. The splendid specimens of
fruits, vegetables and agricultural
products, which had been gathered
for the Cincinnati Exposition, and
afterwards to be used as permanent
exhibit for the club, were attractively
arranged on shelves which had been
made for this special purpose, and
many visitors were astonished at the
magnificent display.
Many varieties of grapes, peaches.
apples, pears, figs, plums and fruits
of almost every description were to
| be seen in the collection, besides spe-
cimens of almost every variety Of
vegetables, grain and other agricul-
tural products in most attractive style.
The fruits and vegetables, which
were in attractive glass jars, had been
preserved so that their natural ap-
pearance was not affected, and they
looked as though they had just been
gathered from the field and orchard.
Among them were specimens which
would equal in quality, size and gener-
al appearance products of the oldest
vegetable and fruit growing sections
of the United States.
Other products shown were wheat,
barley, rye, oats, millet and other va
rieties of grain which were as good
as the best, all of which were grown
on cut-over pine lands in this imme-
diate section. Even the oldest inhab-
itants were surprised at the wonder
full results accomplished in these
lines in such a short period of time.
Each specimen exhibited was plain
ly labeled with the variety of the pro
duct and the name and residence of
the grower, so that each individual
who contributed to the collection had
credit for his particular product.
Delicious punch, ice cream and
cakes were served to the visitors
and an eight-piece orchestra discours
ed music the entire evening
The products exhibited last night
will be left on display at the club
rooms until Friday morning, when
they will be packed up and shipped
to Cincinnati, to be placed on exhibi
tion at the Exposition of Southern Re
sources. They will afterwards be
shipped back to Hattiesburg, to be
used as a permanent display in the
Commercial Club rooms.
