Popularity Of Breeds
Poultry breeds are supposed to differ

Of each breed differ in the cosorins Of
the plumase. The following list win
give an idea OF the leading breeds Of
chickens as judges by the numbers e1-
hih;ted at shows and advertised In
leading poultry papers On this listing
the games and bantams have been
omitted, as the breeds Of this class
have little interest to the practical
ponltymanl: Plymouth Rocks. Wsan-

and Bug. in the popularity Of varieties.
These three types are shown II more
nearly even number than in the case
OF Wyandoetes, where the Whites are
exhibited more numerousiy than the
other fve OF SIX varieties put together.
Among the Leghorns, the Single Comb
White Is now easily the leading va
rsey, though q few years ago B-own
Legaocns were The more popular.
That the representation Of breeds on
farms IS quite different from that Of

hearts Of those around her.
Into our lives she wound her
self; into our hearts she grew"
Mrs. McHenry was born near
Center Point, Miss, on the 22d
day of February, 1845. She
was married to Richard Bascom
McHenry on the 31st day Of Jan.
1875, who preceded her to the
Deep beyond only a few months
ago. From his death the faith
full wife never recovered. She
was a devoted mother, flial
daughter, kind and loving to her
sisters and brothers. Nay, we
cannot say that sh4 ever refused
a helping hand to one who need
ed it, nor an encouraging word
to the friendless.
Soon after the first sad period
of her widowhood her health,
gave way. All that loving
hands could do; all the aid that
devoted friends gave, and all the
prayers from christian friends
rendered could not save her
when He said Come. Gradu-
ally she sank, growing weaker
day by day, until on the first day
of January, 1910, just as the sun
was setting she resigned her
self to God. With that sweet
heavenly smile she closed her
eyes, folded her hand ssabove her
pulseless breast, and turning her
face Heavenward crossed the
Bridse to the Deep Beyond,
where sorrows are forgotten and
cares cease forever. Tenderly
they laid her to rest by the side
of her husband in Odd Fellows
cemetery, Macon, Mississippi.
Greived ones, how can you
wish her back? Do you not
know that each day some flower
is plucked from the Garden of
Love. Each hour some one is
called upon to give up all that
is dearest on earth, each moment
in our lives some jewel is taken
from the Field of Life? And
yet, how many have the comfort
that "she was ready?" Com
fort yourselves, mother, chill
dren, sister, and Lbrothers, that
she was ready for her CALL"
follow in her foot steps, and
some day, who can say how
soon, you will be rewarded by a
meeting to part no more? IT'S
hard to say, but God knows
best.
Dearest one we have laid thee
In the silent tomb so cold,
But the soul hath gone to join
The blessed Savior's fold.
A precious one from US has gone.
A voice we love is still,
A place is vacant in our hearts,
Which never can be filled.
All alone you nave gone,
Across the cold. shadowy river,
Like a beautiful star that shines afar,
You have faded away, and fcrev-
err" S. S. T..
