Very Desirable Inmigrants.

1t is officially, or semi Off cially
stated that an exodus OF 5000 or
10000 Dutch farmers from Holland
to the farms Of this country is on.
only last week. according 10 the re-
ports, bout 400 of these sturdy Dutch
men and their families landed In New
YORK and were quickly taken in hand
by agents, for settlement on Western
farm lands.
The eHtortion of the land owners
in Holland is said 10 be the cause of
this exodus the renters being practi-
cally forced TO leave their native land
ard seek homes in a new country.
where they can find cheaper and bet,
ter lands to work and to improve, and
to make 10 blossom as a rose
Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin are
right after these immigrants and are
getting them. too. Many OF them have
large families, some having ten or a
dozen children. an, they should make
desirable American citizens. such as
would be welcomed in the South, as
well IS in the West. being a temperate
and industrious people who are closely
related to the English. their speech
being very similar. 1t would be a
good idea If steps were taken by the
state immigration authorities to divert
some portion of the incoming Dutch
farmers to the farm lands of the South.
where they should prosper and do
much toward the building up of that
section.
Here is hint that is a hint TO vir.
ginia immigration and LAND agents
and big farmers who are looking for
farm workers who are real worke rs
one good thing certainly has come

and Henrico and Chesterfield and al,
the other counties of Virginia. and
old Bob" and his wife are raising
some OF the finest coveys the world

If the efforts OF the government en-
gineering force that has been In camn

eral months looking into the adj
visibility of draining the Chicaka-
hominy Swamp prove successful some
OF the finest land in all Virginia will
be on the market in two years from
now. The campers struck their tents
last week, and like Arabs silently stole
away. at least away from Atiee Their
report as to the fas'bility Of draining
the swamp will, after going all the
gaits required by governmental red
tape. be made public. and then we
shall know whether to go in and
occupy the land or not.
Another thing the much maligned
drought has not curtailed is the Han
over watermelon. It will be here on
time and judging from the fine vines
have recently seen. Just beginning to
spread, the crop will be up to standard.
If the drought that was. and not
now is, shortened this years crop OF
mosquitoes then bless the drought for
ever more.

This is rule which all breeders fol-

Color of legs Is a common defect in
the White Orpington. We must refer

Breeding Up to STANDARD.

Somewhere in the breeding of White
orpingtons some one has evidently
taken a short cut for size and run in
some White Langshan blood. for we
have gotten feather-legged chicks from
even the highest priced eggs. We
would breed only from the clean
legged specimens, for even though q
few of the progeny resulting from n
mating. one side or the other, OF which
had a tendency to be archaeological,
might be cleanlegged 1t would take
years to breed the foreign blood en-
tirely out. Chicks have a tendency
to inherit the characteristics of the
grandparents even more sometimes
than of the parents. and though the
results of a certain mating may ap-
pear satisfactory the first season, the
second years work may result in COM
plete failure.
The comb must neither be too small
nor too large We have seen large,
beefy combs on the orpington male
similar to the Leghorn comb. In the
female the tendency is to lop, as in
the Leghorn female, though this is
sometimes brought about by too heavy
feeding. These large combs take away
some of the dignity of the bird. and
cause II to lose some OF It's character
istic refined appearance. a medium
sized comb, wattleS and ear lobes are
what the Standard calls for. However
If we had male bird exceptionally
good in other points. we would not
hesitate TO mate him to females with
small combs. or vice versa.
Laying Qualities.
AS the laying qualities of the White
Orpington is one of the dominant
points in its favor, we must only breed
from the heavy layers If we would
reproduce in the progeny this valu-
able characteristic. We DO not be-
lieve that there is aRy breed which
will outlay the White Orpington. espe-
cially in winter, when eggs are high
They begin frequently when five
months old, and do not get broody
as really as many othej' breeds Trap
rest your layers and select the birds
that begin earliest, and keep 1t up, and
your egg recorj will in:c .as, year by
year.
