breed is nine and half pounds for
cocks and seven and half for hens.
Plymouth Rocks are criticised some

ground for this criticism. They may
be greatly improved in this point by
the use of birds Of exceptionally strong
vitality in the breeding pen.
Next to the Plymouth Rocks in popu'

the Wyandottes. They average about
a pound lighter than the Plymouth

" HERE are breeds, varieties and
strains of poultry almost with
out end. To the beginner in
poultry culture the question OF
which one to select is puzzling one.
and the older poultrymen often won
der II they would not do better to
change breeds. The purpose for which
chickens are kept will determine
which class of fowls is best. AS to
the varieties within that class. 1t is
largely matter of individual prefer
ence. A brief description of some Of
the leading varieties may be of help
in making a selection.
The General Purpose Breeds.
Chickens may be grouped into four
general classes: a. General purpose
breeds; e. meat breeds; 60 laying
breeds; a. ornamental breeds. The
aim of the breeders Of general purpose
fowls is to combine laying and meat
producing ability to the greatest ex-
tent possible. The general purpose
birds will not average as prolific lay
ers as some of the more strictly egg
fowls. For producing meat, however,
they are fully as efficient as the strict
ly meat breeds For the general farm
er who is keeping poultry as Il side
issue the returns from the general pur
pose breeds will usually be greater
than from any Of the more spe,iaIiZed
breeds.
The most popular and most widely
distributed of the general purpose
breeds is the Plymouth Rock 1t is u
medium sized breed, deep breasted and
well proportioned. Plymouth Rocks
are very good layers, especially the
first year. After the hens are II year
old they tend to become fat and slug
gish and lay fewer eggs. The meat is
of excellent quality. The chickens
make good broilers at from three to
four weeks Of age or can be profitably
fed for later markets. They are early
maturing and as rapid growers excel
all other breeds. Chicken feeders who
crate-fatten extensively put the Plym-
outh Rock in first place for this p'!r
pose.
There are three varieties of Plynl-
outh Rocks-Barred, White and Buff.
The great trouble with the Barred
Plymouth Rock is the difficulty in
keeping the color markings up to stand
ard. They tend to become unevenIy'
barred. the bars become too wide OF
too narrow or the general color too
dark or too light. From utility stand
point this factor is of little Importance
but where birds or eggs are sold for
breeding purposes it is important that
the color markings be up to standard
The Buff Rocks have 4 tendency to
vary somewhat from the desired shade
| and to produce black feathers in wings
or tail They average little smaller
| than the Barred or White varieties
The White Rocks breed true to color
the easiest. The hens of this variety
4 show even more of a tendency to be
come overfat than do those Of ths
Barred variety.
Plymouth Rock eggs are brown
which is something of an objection in

Buy a Gasoline Engine
You Can Depend Upon

1.-TWO engines may look
equally good, may even
work equally well for a
time. In the end one proves
satisfactory, the other becomes
a nuisance. Why?
The satisfactory engine is
one that is carefully built,
and thoroughly tested.
Thorough testing takes time
and costs money. 1t means
careful adjustment under trying
conditions. It is an expensive
process, but a necessary one if
the finished engine is to be
dependable.

ADMIRATION
FOR EUGENE'S
new ENGINE

The big fire engine purchased by
Eugene and on exhibition here today
is certainly a thoroughly equipped
perfect, up-to-date flre-fightlng ma
chine. It has a splendid pump run by
SO theoretical and really nearly 100
practical horse power, and carries
1000 feet of hose AT demonstration
here today It sent a big stream fully
15O feet up into the air, and poured
It over the top of the U. S. National
bank building. In conntction 1t car
rles 1000 feet of hose and also has a
fine chemical engine. It will be seen
from this that Il is thoroughly equip
ped to tackle anything in the fire line,
and as It has a speed of so miles an
hour, It can respond to an alarm and
get there on short notice.
This is the type Of machine Mayor
Lachmund wanted the city to pur-
chase, and asked the council to post
pone purchasing an engine until this
one could be examined. The council
thought differently, however, but to
the everyday man the Eugene machine
seems to be far superior in every way
to our recently purchased chemical,
This was the general expression OF all
who examined it, and there surely
was a number that did 80.
