CBy JAMES DRYDEN.)


Poultry breeders have been telling
US for years that the pure-bred poul-
try are the best layers. and this is
echoed and re-echoed every day in
the year by the poultry papers. and
most of us have come to believe it.
But has any one ever been able to
demonstrate by careful experiments
or tests that the pure-breds are bet
ter layers than the cross-breds or the
ordinary farmyard fowl?
We are apt to tell the farmers
every day that they know nothing
about poultry; that they ought to
study up. We tell about this system
and that system. and special poultry
farms. and tell them to go and do
likewise. But he goes on In his own
ignorance and produces 100000. 900

duction and at the same time help
the farmer to increase his profits, it
seems to me that that is the way to
begin. The country wants eggs and
poultry. and we cannot get these by
building on foundation of feathers
or fancy points. Let the foundation
be of eggs and poultry meat. We can
then build superstructure with
feather trimmings. II we want eggs
let us first get hen that lays. no mat
ter what her color or shape. Let us
study her external characters. and
when We find that certain characters
or points indicate the good layer. let
us breed for those characters regard
less Of everything else. Then. after
We have developed an egg type and
have got a sufficiently large flock we
may. II we wish. give some attention
to feathers; but let us adhere strictly
to the egg type and breed for eggs.
We will make slow improvement in
breeding without an egg record for
each hen In the flock. This record can
be obtained only by the use OF the
trap nest. which is about the best
thing we have yet discovered in the

We who were educating the farmers"

or care. thrifty. robust. lively chick
ems. The farmer is the best poultry
man in the country. We are the Slaves
of the dogma OF the feather and the
standard. and the farmer produces
the eggs.
The way to develop the poultry in
dustry-one way-is to stop advocat-
ing pure-bred or standardized fowls
for the farmer. The way for the
farmer to increase his profits is TO
get away from the dunghill idea and
to avoid fancy-bred fowls. He should
decide on the type OF fowl to breed
and forget the names OF the breeds.
Let him decide. bearing in mind the
conditions of his markets. whether he
wants an egg type or a small fowl: n
meat type. a large fowl: or n general
purpose or medIum-sized fowl. and
then purchase pure-bred males OF the
proper type and Of good vigor. and
grade up his flock. The way for the
farmer to start In the poultry business
is to buy n few cross-bred fowls. or
eggs from cross.bred fowls from his
nelghbor. and then use pure-bred
males TO grade up his flock.
Feather is all right. pure-bred fowls
are all right. but the question is. shall
the farmer make feathers and fancy
points OF primary or .econdary i'm
portance. II Is no use talking to the
farmer about fancy points. or about
standard or perfection, unless We can
show him that there is some connec-
tion between the-I and productive
qualities. He is not concerned about
such things. He is concerned about
supplying the market with poultry
and eggs.

Special 10 Times-Republican
Creston, May 17.-G. w. Sparks,
laborer OF Savanna, No, is under ar
rest here charged with posing as
hero, in order TO obtain promotion
from the railroad company. Since be-
ing brought here Sparks has admitted
the charge. He says he was tired OF
working without recognition and
thought if the FIVE years he had served
as a section hand were not sufficient
to bring him to the position OF section
foreman for the company he would do
something TO hasten the coveted pro-
motion. Accordingly Sparks wired the
officials here that he had discovered
the track there blocked by ties. by
someone with the intention of wreckirg
the St. Joseph train, but he had averted
the disaster by clearing the track, be-
fore any harm had been done. When
the telegram came here Special Agent
Bourke was sent 20 Savanna under in
structions to arrest Sparks and bring
him here. Sparks now admits there
was no blockade on the track, that he
invented the whole scheme to bring
about his desired ambition. The mat
ter has been taken before the law de-
partment of the road for investigation.

hung in the steeple of the first Iowa
City Presbyterian church in 1S41. was
rescued from the hands of a certain
clergyman Hummer, when he attempt

pense in 1916. 1t was hid in the Iowa
river. but later Mormon convert be-
trayed it's hiding place, and the bell 10
supposed to have been taken to Salt
Lake City by the ,Mormons and to have
been kept there by them for many
years.
OF late all traces OF the bell have
been lost. In 1868 Rev. Osmond. pas
tor of the Presbyterian church OF Iowa
City. wrote Brigham Young in regard
to the locating Of the bell. In re-
Spouse he received letter stating that
the bell had been brought there and
could be secured by the Iowa City
Presbyterians.
Again in 1895 the bell was seen by
c. w Irish and his daughter Miss
Elizabeth Irish. as they passed thru
Salt Lake City. when the bell was In
good state of preservation. How
ever. in response to a letter written
by Attorney Walter Davis to President
Smith, of the Mormons. a short time
ago letter has been received from
his secretary stating that all trace Of
the bell has been lost. Thus the Hum
