The Poultry Yard.

The way one keeps his fowls is
generally the way the fowls keep
him.
The day of crossing breeds is a
thing of the past We now have util-
ity pure breeds.
Work up a strain of hens that will
lay. Save the eggs from the best
layers, and set them.
The fowls that are small for their
age should 60 now. Their room is
OF more value than their company.
Hens dread to get into dirty nest
boxes. They won't do it III they can
help it. Why don't you see to this,
right off g?
Never change to a new breed sim
ply because extravagant claims are
given. 1t is better to try to improve
the old ones.
No one can consistently be a fan
cier and a marketman at the same
time. The branches are antagonis-
tic to each other.
The experienced poultryman breeds
only from his best winter layers. 1T
is then when prices are at their best,
and profits are to be be counted upon
I'm the poultry business.
| Start the trapnests so that it can
be known which are the best winter
layers. Almost any old hen will lay
in spring and summer; it takes a
good hen to lay i'm late fall and win
ter.
This is a good season for disposing
of all the surplus old hens. Better get
rid OF them while they will fetch a
good price as roasters. The prices

1t is too common practice to in

will be later in the season Get
them now and you will have them
when needed.

winter Don't forget it. Neglect il
one of the worst enemies hens have

dampness in your houses; sure to
bring disease.
A good coating OF white wash on

BRITISH MOTORISTS HIT BY NEW
TAXES.

Revised Scale Is Regarded my PrOhibi-
ting High Power Cars to Persons
OF Ordinary Means.
The close of the reign of the high
power automobile in England is at
hand" said prominent sportsman
to a Herald correspondent, in talking
OF the probable effect OF the new au-
tomobile taxes, which became effect
i've on September !, last, whereby
licenses for first time now are f.
sued on q basis OF horsepower units.
Large and powerful cars, it ia held,
will b. much too expensive in the
future for persons OF ordinary means
to maintain, and already the trade
journals blossom with advertisements
Offering automobiles Of this type at
bargain counter prices.
The sale of annual license taxes
under this new system is as follows !:
Motor bicycle or tricycle., any
horse power, $5.
Motor car not exceeding six and
one-half horse power, S10.5O-
Motor car exceeding nix and one
half, but not exceeding twelve horse
power, 315.75.
