Bernhardt in Motion Pictures

A new epoch in the motion picture industry was marked when the film- makers finally induced the divinity of tragedy. Madame Sarah Bernhardt, and tine greatest comedienne of France Madame Gabrielle Rejane. to pose for the picture play. Almost since the be- ginning of the moving picture crazs promoters of the mute drama have made overtures to The Divine Sarah in an effort to persuade her to play fol the moving pictures. It was not until Madame Bernhardt was fully convinced that here was the one and only way to preserve her surpassing art to fu- ture generations that she yielded t1 the opportunities of the photographei and portrayed her finest role and most popular drama in the history of the theatre, Alexander Dumas Camille. These two great pictures will be shown at the Bijou next week witt matinees daily.

The G'070mg Popularity of the
Black O1plngton

In to look at the Black variety with the
result on several occa sions that they
went away with setting of eggs tic
killed. to death" at the future prospects.
And another very important point in
the egg line is that where birds are
trap nested and the best layers bred
from | have found not more than TWEEN
ty per cent of the flock become broody.
l don't want any one to think that
the Black Orpington is the only chick
en- in the world-no, not by any means.
There are other breeds which, If given
proper care and feed, will also turn out
good results, although ! want to make
plain that to my mind there Is no other
variety of Orpington which has the
Blacks beaten on the egg line, espe-
cially in winter. Around this section
where | am acquainted the next best
to the Black Orpingtons in winter lay
ing qualities are the Langshans.
! know workingmen who have man
aged to buy a setting of eggs at half
price late in the season and have re-
fused five times as much for one pullet
as the setting of eggs cost although
IueN needed the money. Inere Is SuCn
a thing as overcharging for stock and
eggs For instance, one time | was
showing some birds and in the pullet
class won first and second and another
breeder in the same class won nothing.
There being one point about his birds

setting Of eggs and found. to my sur
prise he was charging more for them
than l was myself. l have visited
places where they wanted IS to 500

Of people like nice chickens and in very
few cases can they afford more than 81
or SO, and even then at a pinch; and it
is only fair that they get the worth of
their money. When the chicken fever
gets settled on man once, it's hard
to shake II off and he finds he can pinch

coming more popular every day. They
are bred by the millionaire and the mill
hand and they have come to stay.

Feed For FanCiers

Hawks take fewer chickens than
carelessness and neglect.
l always feed some kind of fresh
meat if insects can not be picked up.
Fer worms in chickens l have found
nothing better than surphuric acid in
the drinking water.
Pure bred stock pays even though
you only raise for the market The
young chicks mature quickly and the
hens lay well.
Nature is all right You give the hen
the right material and she will turn out
plenty of results. Feed a sufficient sur
plus of natural egg making food to en-
able her to produce a surplus of eggs
beyond the natural supply.
In taking a record of the hens give
them credit for every egg laid Each
night as the eggs are gathered, the
number is put down opposite the date
when the entry is made in the book
and all eggs are valued at market
price.
There are no chickens more fine and
robust than those which are raised on
farm, with ample opportunity of
ranging over the fields and finding a
large portion Of their own food in the
form of worms, insects. green leaves
and seeds.
Always keep hens scratching from
daylight until nightfall, and after they
go to roost go to the hen house and
scatter some grain in the litter and as
soon as it is light enough for the hens
to see they are working hard at the lit
ter.

almost anyone keep grocery
at the crossroads with no cOmpe-
tition within five miles and sell
some goods. He would be a
mighty poor stick if he couldn t..
But put this grocery keeper in
big city store with a dozen
clerks to manage and a hundred
and one things to keep a-mOv-
ing. where would he be in a
months time? In the insane
asylum. About so with the av-
erage man turned loose with two
or three thousand laying hens to
look after.
How long do you suppose he could
keep them laying? | imagine 1t would
not be long before a good many of
them would be laid to their everlasting
rest
1t looks like a simple matter to care
for a lot of hens, but it is a mighty big
proposition unless one is fully ac-
quainted with al the little ms and outs
of the work that go to make up the one
successful whole.
No one knows whether you will be
capable or not That is a problem you
will have to work out for yourself in
the same old school of experience. But
our advice as given for good many
years has been to go slow. Do not
try to get your experience all in one
year 1t costs too much Do not try to
make history too fast IT, as l have
said, you feel that you are built along
careful, painstaking lines, ready to test
different methods to finish, profting
by the results; with a backbone built
Of sections Of grit and bulldog tenacity
YOU are the one for the place. Make
your start with few good hens-two
or three dozen, perhaps 100. not more.
Care for them well test them and their
qualities to a finish, If you succeed as
well as YOU expected, double the num-
Der for the second year, and the next
until YOU get up to your coveted num-
Der, 5000. You must not expect your
5000, however, to give YOU as good an
average as your first 50 did.
Did YOU ever stop to think as you
looked over the scores of different
breeds OF fine, pure bred chickens one
sees at the poultry shows, where they
came from or rather how they came
about? All have been developed from
the original jungle fowl as the fountain
head. What work has been accom-
plished! One new breed then two.
three and so on. until we now have
over 100, all told. They never came
by chance, not one of them They rep
resent years of careful, plodding. hard,
scientific work in the breeding No
such thing as fail" ever entered the
heads of the poultrymen who were bent
on producing ce"tain points in egg pro-
duction. in fine form, fine feathers and
SO on. If YOU are willing to devote the
best you have in the cause. working
along the conservative lines here indi-
Gated. | believe YOU will succeed, and

Poultry PickingS

Give the pullets a little extra care
and they will repay you when eggs are
bringing good prices next winter
The drinking vessels should be thor
oughly Cleansed by scalding once or
twice a week during hot weather.
Dispose OF the siCIly, puny chicks.
They are better of couple of feet I'M
der ground and the balance of the flock
viii do better
\ good fat hen will support few
hundred lice all right for while, but
she shouldn't be expected to lay any
eggs while doing it.
If there are pullets or Cockerels in
some of the broods that grow faster
than the rest, mark and keep them for
breeders another season. In this way
YOU can build up the stamina of your
flock
Exercise is good for both man and
fowl The poultrymau can get his by
spading up a patch in the poultry yard
occasionally, and the fowls will in turn
get theirs by scratching in the fresh
earth for worms and bugs.

BY WALTER F. CORNISH.

For a long time the Buff variety was
the leading Orpington in this country,
until a business man with lot Of
money back of him took to booming
the Whites with great success.
There Is more or less criticism as to
the Blacks Referring to color, ! may
say there is a class Of people who don't
like Black chickens. For Why" DO
they suppose the skin is black, or the
meat? or do they mean they don't like
black feathers? If the latter is the
case, the Black Orpington has any 9TH
err variety beaten to a fragile" for
color-a nice deep black bird with a
beautiful green sheen which even those
who don't like black chickens can't help
but admire.
There is no other black chicken in
existence that l know Of that is gain
ing ground like the Black Orpington,
and there are many reasons why,
They We're the first originated and are
the easiest to breed to shape and to
obtain size; they seem more inclined to
be tame than Whites or Bluffs, as |
have seen Whites as wild as Leghorns.

Blacks and thought they would take up

Whites and stick to the Blacks, al

In muddy runs, with no grass. Such

For eggs, the Blacks still want to be

Breeding and Feeding.
Breeding has a whole lot to do with
the vigor and vitality Of flock OF
fowls-more. in fact than feeding. I'm
less the offspring of vigorous anCes-
tors. with good, rich, red blood cours-
ing through her veins. a vigorous hen is
the exception. and not the rule. The
same is true of all animal life. While
food and exercise and proper care viii
increase and intensity the vigor and
stamina of flock of fowls these quail
tiles must be inherent with them to a
great degree
The natural tendency of heavy egg
production is the strengthening of the
egg producing organs of the hen, pro-
viding, Of course, that she is properly
fed and cared for so that these organs
may be properly nourishcd. one Of
the immutable rules of Nature is to
strengthen the organs in all animal life
that most need strengthening and in
her wise distribution of the strength
derived from the food consumed. the
organs that are used most are given
strength according to their needs. In
