THE FRENCH BREEDS.
By Cockspw:

OF the French breeds Of chickens
the Houdan is the most popular. The
French people consume a vast amount
OF poultry and they are very particu.
lar in matters Of food.
The Houdans weights are as fol-

The quality Of the meat is excellent,
and the breast is more meaty than in
most fowls. The eggs are white, and
the plrds are non-setters. They are
IKE the Leghorns, not SO costly to
bring up.
The history Of this breed, like the
history. of many other breeds, is
clouded in mystery. Because the birds
have five toes the theory has been ad-
vanced that they were produced from
the English Dorkings. and their crests
nave caused many to believe that
there was Polish blood In them. Meth.
er theory has been carried to positive
conclusions. It Is known, however,
that the breed has existed in France
since h sixteenth century, and that
the French have found them profit.

The Houdan has not been bred
much in this country. although they

When some were brought to this

eggs. and are said to be superior to
the Black Spanish as table fowls. In
tact they are called by some superior
to the other French breeds as table

breed is cock 8 1-2 pounds, hen Is

6 1-2 pounds.
All through France, among the
peasants, poultry is raised, and is
made a feature in the attempt of
keeping down the high cost of living.

POWER ON THE FARM.

We are all familiar with the use of
power machinery in some of its forms
on the farm All that we see today
has been developed within much less
than the space of IN ordinary lifetime.
Every man of middle age whose youth
was spent on IL farm can remember
when the threshing machine was a
curiosity. Its immediate predecessor
was the fail, and there is now many
an elderly business man who has
whacked himself on the head with
this very useful implement while
learning the mystery of just how to
swing it. The first threshing machines
were horse-driven affairs. Ten, twelve
or sixteen horses We're hitched to
sweeps attached to a big geared wheel,
n a man with a long whip mounted
the little platform in the center, and
yelled himself hoarse from early morn
till dewey eve in the effort to keep
all of those horses going round and
round and working properly into their
collars. The man who occupied this
position was to the small boys of the
neighborhood what the steamboat pi-
lot was to Mark Twain in his boyhood
on the banks of the Mississippi, and
what the stage coach driver was to the
lads of the frontier towns in the old
stage days. He was admired and
courted, and the boy who was permit
ted to take his place for a few minutes
was in h seventh heaven.
Today the thresher is operated by
a high power engine, and the COM
bination has become so common thai
all the romance has departed from it.
We are applying mechanical power
to u plows. n getting excellent re-
suits. The great tractors now travel
over the fields, each doing the work
of many horses. n these things, too.
have become common.
ABOUND the farm buildings, too,
there has been a change in the appli-
cation of power. The gasoline engine
has worked wonders. A small and
Inexpensive machine centrally INSTALL
ed pumps water. grinds feed, cleans
seed, operates the grain elevator. say
wood, and acts as general chore boy.
There is still a further development
going on. This is in the application
of power to the work of the house.
hold. In combination with an cleo
trio. generator a small engine can be
made to light buildings. run sewing
machines and perform a score of
pieces of light for which a heavy
machine would be entirely unsuited,
and the work is done clearly. expedi-
sstiously.t and very c1ieaply.
All Of these things tend to make
the conditions Of farm life much more
desirable than they were. More work
lean be accomplished with less effort,
there II more time Tor other things
than drudgery. and the tendency is to
snake the farm more attractive in ev-
~ way.
