PART III,

Tus HE Buff Leghorns are an
other very popular vari-
IL ETY.. At one time they
we're bred in large numbers in
the south. over the entire west
they are today largely bred and
a great many of them are shown
in the western and eastern
shows. They have the same
characteristic OF the Browns
and whites, and some splendid
specimens have been produced in
this color during the past ten
years. AS a rule, they are much
larger than the Browns or
Whites, and lay eggs almost
equal in size to Minorca.
The Rose Comb varieties OF
Browns and Whites are identical
in shape, and characteristics of
the single comb varieties. In
the colder climates they are
much preferred to the single
comb varieties, on account OF
their combs not being so easily
touched by frost or affected by

ANSWER.

The best chickens have ever seen
raised, were produced similar to the
way you say, you are growing yours.
1t does look like they like this treat
ment and thrive on same, provided
they have good food and care which
am sure you are giving yours. We
all have our troubles If We ever sue
coed in the poultry business and the
only ones who ever succeed in this
work, are those who have their pets
one who goes into It for the dollars
and cents can never succeed. 1t is
best for you not to attempt to do
more than you can do well; sell off
the birds that you do not think are
going to be worth maturing and give
the room and care to the good ones
a few good ones are worth many ordi-
nary ones. If the male bird is as
good as you say he is you should
keep him and breed him back to the
pulIets; that is the way to do. The
best eockerel should be mated with
the old hens. In this way you can
establish a strain in a short time,
and will have two different matings
which will give you new blood every
season. In this way you can know
what you are doing and get rid of any
defects in short time, that other
wise. you are liable TO bring back
into your flock by Introduction of new
blood something you have been trying
TO get rid of. This method of mating
is called line breeding and is the only
one way to obtain success and grow
the finest and best specimens. 1t
would probably pay you to advertise
some of your birds in The Journal;
the demand is great and IL they are
good. you can certainly get buyers
for them, but it would be hard to say
what they are worth, but If they are
as good as you described in your let
ter, they should bring from 81 to So

young ones. I have already published

could without copying the Standard

The only way to absolutely rid your
fowls Of insects and also the nits on
them is 10 dip them in a solution of

Please give me description of the

cockerels and hens, / win be great
ly obliged.
ANSWER.
A little later l will give a full de-
scription Of all Orpingtons.
The Bluffs should be a solid rich
golden buff throughout. As near one
uniform, even shade as you can pos
sibly get is the proper color. The
eyes should be red; the beak should
be pink or white; the comb and ear
lobes should be red. The
shanks should be white, or
the earlobes, covering more than
one-third of the surface. is a dis
qualification. If their beak or skin
shows yellow. this is also a disqual-
ification, and shanks that are any
color except white or pinkish white,
will disqualify. The male bird should
weigh 10 pounds when mature, and
the cockerel s 1-2 pounds. The hen
should weigh s pounds and the pull
let pounds.

1t is really much preferred to use a
rooster of the same strain in mating
your chickens. but the old male bird
should be mated to the young
females, 1t is better to use bird of
the same strain you are now breeding
rather than go out and get new blood
that is, if the ones you already have
are good. You can improve and breed

You will find a reply in Sunday or
Mondays Journal to your inquiry re-
garding Orpingtons. In short ime
win get to this variety. The Buff Or
pington should be solid buff-wings,
tail and body color. but it is almost
impossible to get them solid buff AS
a rule, Orpingtons are not as good
layers as Rhode Island Reds. How
ever, they are a larger chicken and
YOU cannot expect them to be quite
so active or be profitable quite so
long.
1t is not wise to breed from any
bird that has weak points. The Leg
horn hen may be a good layer, but l
do not think it advisable to use her as
breeder The Red Caps are also good
layers, but are not superior or even
equal to the Leghorns. OF course,
some strains of Leghorns are not as
good as others, and some trains of
Red Caps are better layers than 9TH
ers. and it is POSSIBLE that the party
referred TO did get more eggs from
the Red laps than he did from his
Leghorns. Probably the conditions
were quite different AS a rule, most
of the egg-laying contests. the Leg
horns hold the record. That is,
larger per cent. compared with other
birds has proven that White Ieghorns
lay more eggs under ordinary cir
cumstances than any other bird.

Stop Recruiting.

CHICAGO, Oct. 4.-Recruiting strike
breakers on the Illinois Central rail-
road has ceased, according to the an
nouncements of officials, who fear
that the resulting rioting may cause
legislation to be enacted against the
railroad companies. The McComb,
Mississippi, riots OF last night deter
mined the company not to send any
more strikebreakers south.
A high railroad official said today:
1--WE have perfect right to fill all
places vacated by strikers, but we
fear that it would result in bloodshed
if we send more strikbreakers SOUTH"
The belief is prevalent here that il
the strikers refuse to obey the federal
injunction issued against them that
the Illinois Central will request the
assistance of United States troops.

Italy Disregarding Warnings.

LONDON, Oct. 4.-The grave pro-
portions which the war situation is
now assuming have been greatly in
creased by the news of the lombard
ment of Prevesa by Duke d'Abruzzi
If the news of the bombardment OF
this port is confirmed it means that
Italy is deliberately disregarding ex-
plicit warnings of Austria and other
powers to the effect that the war must
be confined to Tripolian soil and
neighboring waters.
The outcome of such step on the
part of Italy is dubious, and it may
mean the involving of one or more of
the great powers in an active particip-
alton Of the war.
Italy in semi-official note made
public justifies her Adriatic war pre-
parations on the ground that they are
necessary to assure her forces safe
passage for any expedition to Tripoli.
This is taken to be an answer to
Austria's declaration that if Italy at
tacks Prevesa, Austria will consider
it necessary to dispatch warships to
that port to protect her interests
Diplomats here believe that fighting
between Turkey and Italy will last
only little longer. 1t is believed that
Turkey will soon yield to Italy and
cede Tripoli in exchange for some
money and liberal treatment in other
ways. 1t is pointed out that Italy can
not we'll oppose such step because
her relations with other countries are
such that she cannot insist on severe
terms without forcing intervention by
the powers.
Although no English statesmen |
would stand as authority it is report |
ted that England has quietly told the |
Porte that he must yield. For years |
has stood behind Turkey, vir-
tually guaranteeing its existence, for
own ends, and as a result
a word from England carries much
weight with the Sultan. 1t is said
also that England has told the Porte
that partition Of the Ottoman en-
pire will not be tolerated.
