Moving Express Office.

The Southern Express office south Of
the union station has been moved about
fifty feet directly south and alongside
of the M. & o. tracks. The change in
location was the result of a request made
to the railroad and express companies
by our citizens, in order to open up the
passage way on one Of our main thor

in order to reduce the risk at the cross

Meerchaum is found mostly in Asia

THE POULTRY YARD

The way one keeps his fowls is gen.
orally the way the fowls keep him.
The day of crossing breeds is thing
of the past. We now have utility pure
breds.
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 go now. Their room is cf more
value than their company.
Hens dread to get into dirty nest
boxes. They won't do it If they can
help it. Why don't you see to this
right off?
Never change to a new breed simply
because extravagant claims are given.
1t is better to try to improve the old
ones.
No one can consistently be fancier
and a marketman at the same time.
The branches are antagonistic 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 counted upon in the
poultry business.
Start the trapnests so that 1t can be
known which are the best winter lay
ers. Almost any old hen will lay In
spring and summer; it takes a good
hen to lay in late fall and winter.
This is a good season for disposing
of all the surplus old hens. Better get
Los Angeles herald., 1910-10-09

rid of them while they will fetch a
good price as roasters. The prices are
good up to about November 20.
1t is A too common practice to in
breed. Don't do it. 1t is easier to Sc
cure good cockerels now than it will be
ltaer In the season. Get them now and
you will have them when needed.
Laid in your stock of dust yet for
winter? Don't forget it. Neglect is
one of the worst enemies hens have-al-
most equal to lice. Try to avoid damp
ness in your houses; sure to bring dis
ease.
A good coating of whitewash on the
inside of each house will help consid-
erably in getting rid of vermin. Take
several inches of dirt out of the houses
and replace with new, clean earth.
Do not allow the pullets to roost in
the coops where they were raised. The
cooler the weather gets the worse they
will crowd. They will suffer from the
heat, and when let out these cool morn
ings are apt to take cold, and roup is
the next thing on the program. The
pullets expected to lay this month
should be roosting in comfortable
house at this time.-Farm Journal.

The American standard of perfection
rieties of game fowls: Black breasted,
red, brown red, golden duckwing, sill
yer duckwing. birchen. red pyle, white
and black; also the following Oriental
classes Cornish Indians, White Indi-
ans, Black Sumatras and Malays.
The game fowl is as old as time and
has beer found intact by the civiliza-
tion of all ages. Saunders saws that
among the Greeks and Romans the
pugnacious propensities and indomita-
BILE courage of animals, whether quad
rupeds or birds, never failed to attract
attention. The Romans, indeed, whose
passion for the combats of the amphi-
theater was notorious, collected not
only the ferocious tenants of the
Libyan desert for the qualification of
their bloodthirsty disposition, but bred
up dogs for the arena, and even sent
authorized officers to Britain for the
purpose Of securing those terrible mas
tiffs for which the island was 10 cele-
brated, and it cannot be supposed that
the combativeness of the game cock
would be overlooked. Cock fighting
was as much in vogue in Greece and
Italy in ancient days as 1t is at pres
CIlI III lHNidy NHilidt VhoiaOCh anu NhS
adjoining islands of Sumatra and Java.
The Greeks produced several renowned
breeds of game fowls, as did Media and
Persia. On Caesars arrival in Eng
land he found the fowls domesticated,
but these as well as the hare we're for
hidden as food and were bred only for
the fancy. But 1t is probable that we
owe the game fowl to the Romans, for
when Britain was a Roman colony 1t
4Inf AEA Dan m
residents would give up the sports to
which they were so passionately adj
dicted, and as they sent British fight
ing dogs to Rome, so from Rome they
undoubtedly imported their fighting
cocks.
The modern game fowl-that is, the
exhibition game recognized by Amer
lean and English fanciers and author
ities-is as far removed from the origl-
nal game fowl as 1t has been possible
for man to take them. No other breed
of domestic poultry has been so skill
fully remodeled as has the game. The
original game was built entirely upon
fighting lines. He had not the tall,
attenuated form of the modern game.
He had come down intact, with his
courage and vigor as an heirloom, from
the time of the Romans; but with the
advent of poultry shows in England in
1901 tne reInouellng OIL tne game UoSdh.
The original game fowls were of
many colors and not uniform as to size,
comb and carriage. 1t is not unnatural
that the fanciers should desire to con-
struct with the best of this material
pleasing game fowl, as they saw such
a fowl in their minds eye. And so 1T
was that the shape carriage and whole
being of the old game were changed
and the modern exhibition game given
to the fancy.
Referring to the new game Saunders
has said: "If fowls were not wanted for
the table or for egg production, and If
perfect symmetry, beautiful color and
daring were all that was required of
