much among different nations. The Carthagin-
1ans, Egyptians, Persians and other nations of
antiquity began their year at the autumnal
equinox, New Years day falling on September
a. OF modern reckoning, which is also the be-
ginning of the Jewish civil year. The Greeks
chose December %, and afterward June o. JAN
uary 1 was first adopted by the Romans, when
julius Caesar brought the civil year into close
harmony with the solar, in B. G. 49, but for
many centuries the example was not followed
by subsequent European nations. At one time
there were seven different dates for the begin
ming of the year among the Christian nations,
and even successive popes, until comparativelv
recent times, scarcely adopted the same
chronology. Russia and the eastern empire of
Constantine dated from September 1, and the
Mohammedan year, being dependent on the
phases of the moon, had and has no fixed begin
ming. January 1became the accepted date of
the New Year among the Catholic nations of
Europe in 1882, when Pope Gregory XIII intro
duced the new style of reckoning and corrected
the accumulated discrepancies between the Jul
ian computation and the actual solar year bv
striking ten days out Of the almanac of that
year. By 100 this date was in general use
throughout Europe, but it was not until 1852
that England and her American colonies
adopted 1t.
Ancient and modern civilized PEOPLES while
differing as to the day from which they reck-
oned the beginning of the civil year, have agreed
in distinguishing it by special festivities and re-
Aglous observances. The Romans dedicated Jan
uary to the Oldest of their GODS Janus of the

IN ANSWER to many inquiries as to
whether the Silver Brackets and the
Campine are not the same breed /
will say:
According to Louis Vander-Snickt, of
Brussels, conceded the greatest authority
on poultry in Europe, the Bracket has
been a distinct breed since the time of
Charles V, over 500 years ago.
Brackets are raised almost exclusively
In eastern Flanders and Flemish Bra
bant, the most fertile provinces OF Bel
GUM, very densely populated with about
765 persons to the square mile, the num-
Der of fowls each family can keep being
regulated by law, according to the
amount OF land they own,
Campines are a modified Bracket
raised on the plains of La Campine, near
Antwerp, weigh about a pound less and
Law one-third less eggs than the Brae-
kel. The Belgium breeds rank as egg
producers, according to the above au
thority, as follows: First, Silver BTae-
keI: second. Barbue Maine dAnveTs;
third, Huttegerns; fourth, Malines;
fifth, Ardennaise; sixth, Campines; sew

Lait7 milk chickens) of Paris and Brus-
sells, on account of the rapidity of feath-
ering and development, and because Of
their large and full breasts.
Intensive Chicken Raising.
In Flanders, chickens are raised on
more intensive plan probably than in
any other country in the world. The
foregoing Is all quoted from papers read
before the National Poultry conference
at Reading, England, by Louis Wander
snickt, of Brussels, and madam Van
Schelle, of Papenvoort. Belgium. The
Bracket may be said to have been the
backbone of the new Campines. The
generous size of the Bracket tempted
breeders to cross them with the silver
penciled Hamburg From the standpoint
of the Campine breeder, it NAV be said
that the Hamburg is a small fowl, a
layer of comparatively small eggs and a
fowl inclined to colds, and that the
crossing was desirable for the sake of
utility.
From the standpoint of the Hamburg
breeder, it NAV be said that the securing
of distinct penciling IN the Campine
through Hamburg crossing IS taking an
unfair advantage of the fanciers OF pen
eiled Hamburgs, who have labored so
earnestly for so many years Tor the
perfection of the plumage of their race.
They may add that the Campine coming
as a common fruit a few years ago, has
had gradted on it the beauty of feather
that has come from years of selective
