%TA HE selection Of the breed of
poultry is always a momen-
E tous problem to the beginner.
There are some poultry breed
ers and far too many farmers who
make this problem of breed selection
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 neighbors Such fckleness, of
course. prevents all progress.
For those who are breeding standard
bred poultry and whose main object in
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-
try breeding would be an easy prob
lem. Indeed, we could all get rich if
we knew the future, but as it is the

majority of those who tie to novel ant
untried propositions, whether it be il
fancy poultry or mining stock, get til,
worst of the deal.
The following general statement may
be laid down as 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 that poultry breeds come
and go as do fashions in ladies' hats
They are rather more 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
the plumage. The following list will
give an idea Of the leading breeds OF
chickens as judged by the numbers eX-
hibited at shows and advertised in
leading poultry papers Gn this listing
the games and bantams have been
omitted, as the breeds of this class
have little interest to the practical
poultryman): Plymouth Rocks, Wyan-
dottes, Leghorns, Orpingtons, Lang
shans, Minorcas, Brahmas, Cochins.
Hamburgs, Polish, Houdans and In
dian Games.
Plymouth Rocks rank, Barred, White
and Buff, 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 few years ago Brown
Leghorns were the more popular.
That the representation of breeds Oh
farms is quite different from that of
the show room will be readily seen
from the following percentage OF
breeds on farms, which the writer tab
ulated while poultryman at the Kan
sas experimental station:
Barred Plymouth Rocks, As per

A Curious Clock.

In one of the chief matchmaking
establishments in Zurich there is to
be seen a remarkable curiosity in
the way of watch or clock making.
The timepiece is in the form of q
ball, which moves imperceptibly
down an inclined surface without
rolling. The length of this inclin-
ed surface, which is sixteen inches
long, is accomplished from top to
bottom In twenty-four hours. Then
the ball only needs lifting to the
top again. This extraordinary time
piece has no spring and therefore
needs no winding. The hands are
kept in motion by the sliding along
an inclined plane.-London Globe.

According to a ruling made yes

judge of Lincoln county, requesting
an opinion whether the county court
should appoint judges and clerks of
election at the January term.
The request for an opinion was
the result of the change in the time
of holding the biennial election from
June to the first Tuesday after the
first Monday in Nocember, which
change was made at the last general
election by the people under the ini-
tiative and referendum. The amend

THE COPPER
SITUATION

The production of copper in the
United States during 1909 was the
largest estimating December) for
ten years, and amounted to over
1 ,409, 100000 pounds. In 1901, the
amount was a little more than one
half of this huge total. Domestic
consumption for the year will figure
about 70O,50O,000, with export de-
liveries 6S7, 100000, leaving an ex-
cess of production of over 21,000,-
900 pounds. The excessive produc-
ton of course accounts for the sit
uation in the metal and for the
same reason the copper trade ap-
pears not to have shared in the gen.
eral rising prosperity. When, how
evers the record of consumption is
observed, it will be seen that in only
two or three months, namely, Feb
ruary, August and September, has
there not been a steady increase in
the use of metal through the year,
and the average daily rate of dom
estic deliveries has increased from
1872, 900 in January to 2,258,000
in December. The whole situation
has been much improved by the ac-
tion taken to bring about a copper
merger, and while this has not yet
been effected, what has been done
has had marked influence on the
trade. This is shown by the recent
activity in the metal itself, accom-
panied by very gradual advances.
Prices this week went to about "a
cent in all classes; sales of electro
lytic being made at 1879 cents q
pound, and one sale of Lake copper
reported at IAN cents a pound
This, it is estimated, will be follow.
ed by a further rise to 4 cents
within the next few days. Demands
are coming from foreign buyers as
well as domestic consumers. Dow
Jones & Co. say:
The copper trade is taking an opti-
mistic view of the situation, and the
feeling is general that electrolyte cop
per will be selling at 15 cents pound
before the close of January. The
advance in the price of the metal has
been helped along by the restriction
in output. Copper is now selling at
the highest price it has reS':hed in
months"
Senator Clark says:
'The copper merger is not a merg-
er in the popular sense of trust;
it does not contemplate dlscriuina-
ton, and will not affect Northern
Michigan mines nor Arizona. With
possibly single exception, IL is sim
ply the getting together of three or
-four interests, which think thcy eau
handle the product better by Miited
action.
There is a worldwide overpro-
duction of copper that will have to
be worked off, but the new uses tc
which the metal is being put are in
creasing. 1t is impossible to mine
copper with a fair profit under Is
cents. The price should not, howey-
er, go above that"
