MERITS OF COCHIN VARIETY
Excellent Producers Of Eggs in Win
ter and Young Chickens Are
Fairly Good on the Table.

Cochins have certainly the merit of
laying well in winter. due probably to
their prOfuse feathering. which pre-
vents undue evaporation of heat.
Young chickens are fairly good on the
table, but when older they cannot be
regarded as even passable in that re-
spect. The flesh is at all times very
yellow, and more largely developed
on the thighs than the breast This
is due to the fact that Cochins are not
flyers; they have only small wings.
whilst very large ones would be need
ed to support such a heavy frame
The weight which COchins attain is
very good indeed. Adult cocks range
from twelve to fifteen pounds, hens
eight to eleven pounds, and cockerels
and pullets two to three pounds less.
They are very hardy. and can stand
almost any place and soil. but they
do best on short, level grass, for the
foot feather is broken and spoiled
when on long grass or rough ground.
The partridge Cochin possesses
great variety and brilliancy of color.

SOME MISTAKES IN POULTRY
Too Many Beginners Start on Too
Large ScaIe-Most Common Err
ror Is "learning Too Fast"

1t Is well for the beginner to adopt
the advice of men who are veterans
In the service, in order that they may
avoid many of the stumbling blocks.
says the Poultry Journal.
Too many novices start on too
large a scale. They are not content
to begin at the bottom round of the
ladder and gradually climb to the
top That is too slow for them. II
blessed with sufficient capital they are
pretty sure to start on a large scale.
Without experience, is it any wonder
that they do not succeed?"
But this is not the only cause of
failure with the beginner The 9TH
ers might briefly be stated as hav.
Ing too much land; buildings too scat.
tered. entailing too much unnecessary
labor; the breed or breeds selected
not being suitable for the purpose
Intended; house not built upon
the sanitary plan; too much chang
ing of the bill of fare; unmindful OF
small details; harboring too much un-
profitable stock; carelessness in car.
ing for ailing birds; relying toe
much on hired help, and learning toe
fast.
1t is a waste of money to buy toe
much land. From to 10 acres is suf
fcient for the largest kind of plant
A general mistake is the continual
changing of the bill of fare. There
sbould be one system of feeding and
that regularly followed. The bill of
fare should contain the greatest va,
riety possible, but the system should
not be changed. New articles of food
should not be given to the exclusion
Of others until the fowls have had
chance to become acquainted with
them. All additions or changes
should be gradually made. If the
fowls are doing we'll on what they
are getting no change should be
made at all
learning too fast" 1t is note
worthy fact that, as a rule, by the
close of the first year the beginner
forms the opinion that he knows it
all. Thirty years spent in the poul-
try yard has taught the writer that
he has much yet to learn. There is
always something new turning up.
The wise man reads, studies, prac-
tees and investigates. thus daily add
ing to his store Of knowledge.

Science Of FEEDING.

The feeding Of fowls has become az
much a. science as has the feeding Of
dairy or beef cattle. Poultrymen have
their balanced rations for their fowls
They feed especially for egg produc-
ton. growth and fattening purposes.
The farmer too often feeds for con-
Syenience and relies on corn to produce
all the above requirements, hence the
poor results on many farms. Variety
lis the spice of life" in the poultry

A Critic Disappooinetd.

An orator, having written a speech
which he intended to deliver on a GER

good, the second Indifferent, the third

Feeding for Result.

In feeding the hen we must use our
best judgment to certain extent. II
we are to feed for the egg production.
We must give those foods necessary to
make those elements which go to
make up the egg as well as those that
will keep up the hen in the best condt

In introducing new breed, the orig.

is, that this juiciness, or the lack of it,
lies chiefly with the work of the cook.
