BEST BREED OF BABY CHICKS
Much Depends on What They Are In
tended Plymouth Rocks
Lead in United States.

In answer to query as to the best
breed Of day-old incubator chickens
for the market, the Kansas Farmer
makes the following reply:
There is no data at hand whereby
one could determine which breed of
all depend upon what the customer
wanted to do with the chicks; to raise
them for brOilers or to keep them for
breeding purposes. If for broilers, the
the Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes, Or
pingtons and Rhode Island Reds are
all good. II wanted for breeding pur-
poses, the demand would call for a
great variety of breeds, according to
the individual preference of the pur-
chaser In order to find OUT which
was the most popular fowl in the Unit
ed States, the American Poultry asso-
citation, some six years ago, promised
to publish an exclusive standard for
such breed. 1t sent to the secretaries
of all the principal poultry shows for
the number of fowls Of each breed
that were exhibited at their shows.
From the reports received, the
Plymouth Rocks were decidedly
in the majority, and won their stand
ard. Similar reports were called for
the next year, eliminating the Ply
mouth Rocks, and the Wyandottes
were found to be the next popular
fowl to the Plymouth Rocks. The
next year the Leghorns won, and this
year the Orpingtons came in ahead.
Therefore we find that the Plymouth
Rocks, Wyandottes. Leghorns and Or
pingtons in the order named, are the
most popular fowls in the United
States as determined by the greatest
number exhibited at poultry shows.
This might guide one as to which
breed of baby chicks are most pop
ular, as naturally the preference for
the young chicks would be in about
the same proportion as the liking for
the adult fowls.

Turkeys need an open shed well

The meat of yarded poultry is al

Raisinu Pigeons.

Pigeons must have clean water for
bathing once every day. 1t should be
given them early in the morning. The
birds cannot live without it.
The bathing dishes should be
emptied after the birds have used it
as it quickly becomes fould and should
not be allowed to stand.
The pigeon that goes about with
dropping wings is sick bird.
At the first sign of sickness the
birds should be taken out of the
pens and placed by themselves. I'm
less they are very valuable they
should be killed at the end of three
days if they are not entirely well.
Squads are pretty we'll covered with
feathers when three weeks old.
Before engaging in the pigeon bust
ness go and spend a week or two with
some successful pigeon breeder. One
can learn more in this way than from
three months reading in a book.

W. |. DOUGLAS TRUST PLAN
Manufacturer Thinks Government
Should Obtain Publicity by
License System.

Large business organizations have
come to stay. We cannot go back to
old conditions. We must meet world
competition. Large concerns can pro-
duce goods at lower cost than small
ones. Germany favors large corpora
tons. The method of the present La
tlonal administration is to dissolve
the great organizations and make
them smaller, which Is backward
step. There should be no limit to a
corporation doing a large and legiti-
mate business, such as would be pos
sible under the licensing plan which
l favor, writes w. l.. Douglas, former
governor of Massachusetts, in the
Boston Herald.
Prejudices against corporations
merely because they are big, perhaps,
must be done away with. They give
labor better returns. They cheaper
product and thus benefit the consum-
er. They give opportunities to small
investors who get returns otherwise
unattainable. They employ able
young men who have no capital at
all, but who receive handsome sal
aries for their ability and service.
In place Of the Sherman law it is
my opinion there should be depart
ment at Washington to grant licenses
to all manufacturers and corporations
in this country who do an interstate
commerce business.
The law should be made SO clear,
plain and definite that it could not be
misunderstood. 1t should require all
capital to be paid in full. Semi-yearly
statements should be given to the
public and certified by public &C
countant. There should be board
of examiners in each state to look
after these corporations just as our
national banks are watched by the ma
tional government. They should have
the right to enter the Offices and ex-
anime the records of all the direc'
torates Of these companies.

TRAP NEST is ADVANTAGEOUS
What Hens Are observation-disclosures
Should Be Weeded Out.

For a number of years l have been
in favor of trap nests in order to find
out what hens are the profitable ones
to keep, says a writer in Green's Fruit
Grower. On every farm where one
hundred hens are kept the probabili-
ties are that fifty of them will not
average more than thirty eggs each
year. Some of the fifty will lay more,
but there are a few that will not lay
at all, so I have made this general
average on such basis.
The average cost of feeding a hen
for one year is 81. This means that
the drone should be weeded out. The
trap nest will do it. Here is trap
