Mr.. Valentine Arthur Langford was
YEARLY pacing the quarter deck of his
magnificent yacht. the Southern Cross.
Mr.. Langford was an intensely dis
appointed and embittered man. He,
had made two ventures which, by a.
stretch of language IN one case at least,
could be called matrimonial. and both
Of them had resulted in disaster. Death
opportunity had relieved him OF one
wife; the other who had stood In the
place of the former without the legal
ceremony or the spiritual benediction
had vanished under circumstances SO
mysterious that he had no idea wheth.
err she was alive or dead. On certain
night some three years ago he had a
dim remembrance that he had be.
haved like q brute to woman. His
remembrance was only dim as to de,
tails. II was entirely clear as to the
fact.
What had happened as a result of
his conduct he could not clearly state.
The next morning the crew had found
him lying insensible on the cabin door
with fractured skull. The woman

had trailed astern of the yacht in the

year. The Brahmas are excellent Ia
BILE fowls and in certain eastern To-.
calities are raised extensively for soft
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 a 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 a price as
for some other breeds.
The general purpose fowls are I'M
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
mcrs of the state in order to get an
idea of the poultry conditions existing
in the state. OF 234 farmers which
reported, 11S kept Plymouth Rocks,
20 Lt6uOluSy IthOoC iSioht tsCNob
and 81 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 q trifle 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 79S,
laid 200 eggs from January l to Sep
TENDER 5, a total of eight months. The
packing companies which annually
buy and pack immense quantities Of
poultry have a 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 as the Wyan-
dottes. For meat purposes the Wyan-
dottes excel the Rhode Island Reds,
but the Kansas farmers find the
Rhode Island Reds TO be the best win
ter layers.
Another breed which deserves men,
ton at this time is the Orpington.

much larger egg. The Minorcas are
considered by some people very good
winter layers, although / would not
recommend them as such; owing to
the large size of the eggs they are
bred in certain localities where 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 large number of win.
ter eggs, but the eggs are usually
quite small. The birds are very popu-
lar owing to their beautiful colcr (sil-
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 Langshans.
The Cochins used TO be an excellent
table fowl. but for several genera
lions 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
known to lay as low as 25 eggs q

BARRED PLYMOUTH ROCK
SUPERIOR POULTRY BREED
Several Good Popularity Of This Variety
Among Farmers-Make Excellent Layers
and Are Hardy.

(By F. S. JACOBY. Poultry Division,
Kansas State Agricultural College)
1t Is not always an easy matter for
one who intends TO keep poultry for
the first time to make a wise selec-
ton Of the breed best adapted to their
purpose. Numerous articles have been
written In the poultry papers concern
ing the merits of various breeds, hut
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: /. 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
SehOi Shdi
The three principal egg breeds are
the Leghorns, the Minorcas and the
Hamburgs. If person contemplates
receiving their income entirely from
eggs and can afford to eliminate the
dressed poultry side of the business,
one of these breeds should be his
choice. The Leghorn enjoys the
greatest popularity of the three at the
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
Guce eggs at much lower cost. The
records of a pen of White Leghorns
and White Plymouth Rocks at X. S.
A. G.. showed that it cost / cent a
month more to feed the Plymouth
Rocks than the White Leghorns. The
Leghorns laid more eggs than the
Rocks and produced profit Of $1.87
per hen for months as compared
with $1.61 per hen with the Rocks
during the same period. The Leg
horn undoubtedly lays more eggs the
second year in proportion to the num-
Der laid the first year than any other
breed. The records at the station
show that out of pen of II hens, 16
bad laid during Is months an aver
age of 2SS eggs and of these 16, IA
had laid over $50 eggs, of which 4
were over the 800 mark. These birds
are still laying and undoubtedly sew
eral more hens will lay above 300
eggs by the end Of the two-year Pc
Rod The Minorcas are larger than
the Leghorns and would necessarily
consume more feed, but in return lay

NEWSPAPERS TAKING 1T UP
Metropolitan Dailies Giving Advice
How to Check rheumatism and
Kidney Trouble.

This is a simple home recipe now
being made known in all the larger
cities through the newspapers. 1t Is
intended to check the many cases OF
Rheumatism and dread kidney trouble
which have made SO many cripples,
invalids and weaklings of some Of our
brightest and strongest people.
The druggists everywhere, even In
the smallest communities, have been
notified to supply themselves with the
ingredients, and the sufferer will have
no trouble to obtain them. The pre-
scription is as follows: Fluid Extract
Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound
Kargon, one ounce, and Compound
Syrup of Sarsaparilla, three ounces.
NIX by shaking we'll in bottle. The
dose is one teaspoonful after each
meal and at bedtime.
Recent experiments In hospital
cases prove this simple mixture eff
fective in Rheumatism. Because of
its positive action upon the elimina-
tive tissues of the kidneys, 1t compels
these most vital organs to filter from
the blood and system the waste i'm
purities and uric acid which are the
cause OF rheumatism. It cleanses the
Kidneys, strengthens them and re-
moves quickly such symptoms as
backache, blood disorders, bladder
weakness, frequent urination, painful
scalding and discolored urine. It acts
as gentle, thorough regulator to the
entire kidney structure.
Those who suffer and are accus-
toned to purchase a bottle Of medi-
cine should not let n little incon-
venience interfere with making this
up, or have your druggist do 1t for you.

They weigh nearly the same as tho
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 a 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
without question placed first in the
minds of the Kansas farmer with the
White Rock, White Wyandottes and
Rhode Island Red and White Orpina.

police patrol, started ostensibiy for the
city jail. but instead carried him to the

Mr. Fairbanks protested vigorously
against the arrest insisting that he could
prove his identity II given an opportunity.
II was not until the patrol drew up at the
Field Club that he detected the joke He
then laughed heartily over the whole at
fair.
Mr.. Fairbanks addressed the convention
during the morning. and when the meet

went TO the street with the reception

mittee left him for a moment
Two policemen stepped up and, identi-

him under arrest. Mr.. Fairbanks looked
around for the committee, but not a MEM

Protesting, he was quickly hustled into

away. When the car stopped and Mr..
Fairbanks was led from the car, he found
himself in the midst of a crowd composed

realized that he had been joked.
