sapreme Court Ruling Allows Re-

FTeight bills amounting to thous-

chan which have been paid for past
IL months and which, according to
a deejsion Of the supreme court,
ma, be recovered, will be gone after
by the Greeley Tranic association,
co.. posed of the leading merchants
ofsthe city. The matter will be
brought before the regular meeting

of q ction will be decided upon.
AlthOugh no accurate estimate has
beer made, it is believed that the
ratlIoads can be made to rebate
atput $4,000 to Greeley shippers.
II ruling under which the claim
wN be made is one OF the supreme
couf about two months ago. in con-
nection with the recent reductions in
freight rates from Chicago and St.
Louis points to common points in
Colorado.
Under the decision the shippers
affected by the reduction are en-
titled TO the lower rates from May
1, 1909, which date proceeds the
recent rate cut about Is months
The first class rate from Chicago tc
Greeley was cut from s2.o5 to sl.S5
something more than 10 per cent.
leading attorneys of Chicago ant
Denver are anxious to take the case'
Of shippers affected on a percentage
basis, which is taken as an indica
tion that the claims are we'll wort
while The Traffic association Is in
cliipf TO believe that as an organize

They weigh nearly the same as the
Plymouth Rock and are very similar
in shape and other characteristics.
The main differences and ones which
have prevented more rapid develop
ment Of this breed are the white skin
and shanks. This practically bars the
bird as n market fowl in this country
although It is very popular in Eng
land. They are exceptionally good
winter layers.
From the foregoing the reader can
readily see that the truly profitable
breeds can be counted on the fingers
Of one hand. The Barred Rock is

minds of the Kansas farmer with the

a much larger egg. The Minorcas are
considered by some people very good
winter layers. although I would not
recommend them as such: owing to
the large size Of the eggs they are
bred in certain localities where a pre-
MUM is paid for large eggs. On the
farm, however, It is different propo
sition and the farmer can scarcely
afford to keep this breed and sell his
eggs on the regular market. The
Hamburgs lay a large number OF win.
ter eggs. but the eggs are usually
quite small. The birds are very popu-
lar owing to their beautiful color (siI-
yer and golden spangled and are
probably the most profitable Of the
beautiful breeds. They are great ia
vorites with children.
The meat breeds are made up Of
the Cochins. Brahmas and Lansshans.
The Cochins used to be an excellent
table fowl. but for several genera
tions they have been bred for feath-
ers and the result is the utility quail
ties have been greatly impaired. Ger
tain strains Of this breed have been

little value when carried out during

be carried out at the proper times. the
most important Of all being the last
thing before going to rest" This med
ical authority thinks. also. that "a well
organized crusade throughout the
country on the Importance Of the teeth
and the technique Of their proper care
would be followed In a generation by
an immense improvement in the health
Of the nation. and. from the point OF
view Of the combatant services. by an
enormous decrease in the percentage

year. The Brahmas are excellent ta-
BILE fowls and in certain eastern To-
calities are raised extensively for soft
roasters. They lay as a rule COM
paratively few eggs. but certain
strains have been developed for egg
production which lay enough eggs to
be profitable. The Langshans do not
enjoy the popularity Of the Brahmas
as meat type. but are about equal
to them in egg production. One fea-
ture of this class of meat breeds
which renders them Improbable in
certain localities is the fact that pack.
ers object to the feathered shanks
and will not pay as high price as
for some other breeds.
The general purpose fowls are un-
doubtedly the most popular in the
United States as in Kansas. In 1909
letters were sent out from the Kansas
State Agricultural college to the far
mers of the state in order to get an
idea Of the poultry conditions existing
In the state. OF 234 farmers which
reported. 118 kept Plymouth Rocks.
6S Leghorns. 81 Rhode Island Reds.
and 21 Wyandottes. Many farmers
kept two or more breeds. This shows
the popularity of the Plymouth Rocks.
and there are several good reasons
for this popularity. The Plymouth
Rock breed are a trife heavier than
either the Wyandottes or Rhode Is
land Reds. They are slower to ma
ture than the Wyandottes. but make
excellent winter layers when early
Matched and bred for that purpose.
! During the past two years an expert
ment has been carried on at the col.
lege to determine whether the White
Plymouth Rock could be bred for
high egg production and transmit
THESE qualities to their offspring.
About 25 birds were selected for the
experiment. One of these. hen 1893,
laid 200 eggs from January l to Sep
tember 6, a total OF eight months. The
packing companies which annually
buy and pack immense quantities oi
poultry have q decided preference for
the Plymouth Rock.
The White wyandottes are very
popular and differ essentially from
the Rocks in being a pound lighter In
weight and more blocky In form. The
Rhode Island Reds have nearly the
same shape as the Plymouth Rocks
but weigh the same Us the Wyan
dottes. For meat purposes tho Wyan'
dottes excel the Rhode Island Reds
! but tho Kansas farmeB find tho
Rhode Island Reds to be the best win
ter layers.

Several Good Reasons Popularity This Variety

(By F. 8. JAcOBY. Poultry Division.
Kansas State Agricultural ColleEe.)
1t Is not always an easy matter for
one who intends to keep poultry for
the first time to make a wise selec-
tton of the breed best adapted to their
purpose. Numerous articles have been
written In the poultry papers concern
ing the merits of various breeds, but
as rule these articles have been
written by breeders whose opinions
are prejudiced in favor of the breed
which they keep. Consequently they
are often confusing and misleading to
the beginner. With this in view the
writer will endeavor to give an un-
preJudiced opinion Of the merits of
the various breeds.
For convenience, we will classify
the breeds into three classes: 1. Egg
breeds; 2. Meat breeds: 3. General
purpose breeds. There are other
breeds which do not come In this
classification. but as a rule. they are
Improbable and are raised only for
their beautiful plumage. or some
other characteristic.
Tho three principal egg breeds are
the Leghorns. the Minorcas and the
Hamburgs. II a person contemplates
receiving their income entirely from
eggs and can afford to eliminate tho
dressed poultry side Of the business.
one Of these breeds should be his
choice. The Leghorn enjoys the
greatest popularity of the three at tho
present time and probably will con-
tinue to be as popular In the future.
Owing to the small size Of the breed,
they consume less feed than the
larger breeds and consequently pro-
duce eggs at a much lower cost. The
records OF a pen of White Leghorns
and White Plymouth Rocks at X. 8.
A. C. showed that II cost 1 cent a
month more to feed the Plymouth
Rocks than the White Leghorns. The
Rocks and produced a profit of 31.87
per hen for 8 months as compared
with $l.61 per hen with the Rocks
during the same period. The Leg.
horn undoubtedly lays more eggs the
second year in proportion to the num-
her laid the first year than any other
breed. The records at the station
show that out Of a pen Of II hens. 16

were over the 300 mark. These birds

eggs by the end Of the two-year pe-
riod. The Minorcas are larger than
the Leghorns and would necessarily
consume more feed. but In return Lay

the truth in saying that from the
southern limit, shown on the map.
northward the ice lay in one unbroken
expanse. with the exception Of the So
