23 PERMITS In FEBRUARY

The report OF Building Inspector John
son for February completed az noon to-
day shows that % permits for building
operations were issued during the month
for a total valuation of $i9,7ol This
shows big falling off, compared with
the month OF February. 1909. In that
month forty permits were issued for a to-
tai value of s52,903
The difference In favor OF last year was
probably due to the better weather con-
ditions which existed In that period
compared with the month just ended.

ters and mothers, easily tanned and
handled and breed that will bear
confinement well.
There are many excellent breeds Of
this class found among what are
known as the American breeds The
Plymouth Rocks, Rhode Island Reds,
the Wyandottes, and other breeds be-
long TO this class.
The Brahmas, Cochins, Langshangs
and others of the large breeds of
Asiatic class are not as good layers as
the smaller breeds. they are more in
clined to be broody and as a rule are
not as good rustlers as the American
breeds and for that reason | would
not advise one to select ones founda.
tion stock from that kind of breeding
When we look the field all over
there is no breed that stands pre-emi-
nently at the head OF the utility
class like the Plymouth Rocks and
DO not believe that a person would go
wrong If he selected stock from some
good flock of that breed.
The Plymouth Rocks lay good-sized
eggs that are of a nice shape and
color. OF the various breeds of Rocks
| would choose the White Rocks, as
It is easier to breed them true to
color. they dress very clean and white
when killed for market
The Buff Rocks and the Barred
Rocks are excellent fowls and are full
ly as good in many respects as the
White Rocks, but one will find It much
easier to breed birds of a solid color
and keep them true to type and mark
ings than to breed the colored breeds.
For a chicken that will grow fast
and mature early | know of no breed
superior to the White Rocks. They
have a plump body and are attractive
in the market and when full grown
have the weight that makes them
bring home the money that it cost to
grow them.
The cockerels that are to be sold in
the fall make quite an important item
for us to consider and the White
Rocks cannot be eXcelled in this point
When the hens are too old to keep
for egg producing purposes it is quite
an important item to have them weigh
six to eight pounds.
There is an increasing demand for
dressed fowls and If you have egg Gus
toners you should be able to make ar.
rangements to supply them with
dressed poultry whenever ordered and
get the top price for your surplus
stock.

The first thing to consider when Sc

There are some breeds OF poultry
that are adapted to but one purpose
and that is laying eggs, among them
being what poultrynen call the Medi-
terranean breeds, such as the Leg
horns. Minorcas, Hamburgs and 9th

These are very good breeds but
what a beginner is after is a hen that
will set and hatch some nice young
chickens and take care of them In the

be ideal for market. one that will ma

part Of Desdemona, her passionate
soul still quivering with the emotion
Of the part and the tears ana applause
of her listeners. A person entered
and begged her to go to her mother,
who had been taken i'll. A carriage,
not her own, was at the door She
was whirled through the streets and
led, much TO her surprise and fear,
into a strange house and to an excel
lent boudoir. hung and carpeted with
rose colored silk.
Here the beautiful songstress was
left alone after being assured by her
attendants that her mother was WELL
that the message was a subterfuge and
that her captivity would last until she
sang something.
on low seat sat n lyrn such as
that which thrilled In Malibran's fin
gers as she sang Desdemona's touch
ing song
At first she determined tJ resist, but
after short time her mind reverted
to the evening, and almost uncon-
sciously she took up the instrument
and sang the Romance de Saule." AS
she concluded sounds of enthusiastic
applause and trembling accents Of de-
light came to her through the silk
hangings, and she was then conducted
by llveried servants to her carriage
and to her home.
The next morning she found on her
table a casket containing a magnifi-
cent pair of earrings, and inside the
cover, written in diamonds, was the
word "Merci." But the event re-
mained a mystery to her forever
