Prize Buff Plymouth Rock cockereL

and is, perhaps, all things considered,
the most popular breed in this coun-
try at the present time.
Its origin is commonly given as a
cross between the Black Java and the
American Dominique. Besides the
Java other Asiatic blood has probably
been used in making the breed.
The Plymouth Rock Is more like
the Asiatic than like the European
chicken. 1t approaches in size and
fattening qualities the Cochin or
Brahma, but has lost the excessive
feathering, slowness of growth and
general clumsiness Of those breeds.
The best recommendation for the
Plymouth Rock on the farm is the
excellent growth made by the young
chickens. In this quality they have
no superior. The Plymouth Rock
pullets are good layers, but as year
ling hens are prone to turn into fat
rather than eggs.
Another objection to the barred
variety is the difficulty in keeping the
breed true to the standard type. TIE
pure-bred type birds are required to
have even and distinct bars of the
same shade in male and female.
These are difficult points to main
tain, and resort is often made to
double mating or the keeping of two
breeding pens, one to produce cock
erels and the other pullets.
The white and buff Plymouth Rocks
are later products than the barred
variety. Much of what has been said
will apply to them also. The following
differences might be noted:
The white variety is free from the
color objection of the barred type, but
the objection to the fattening tend
ency applies to hens of this variety
perhaps more forcibly than to the
barred.
Buff Plymouth Rocks will probably
average smaller than the other varie-
ties of the breed. Although solid
colored bird, they like all buff breeds,
except the buff Cochins, will be found
difficult to breed to one color, owing
to the tendency to possess black or
white in the wings and tail

AEROPLANE WILL GOVERN
WARFARE, SAYS DANIELS

St. Louis, Nov. 22.-v'In my opinion
the newly developed art Of aviation
will not only tend to limit the dura-
ton and scope of hostile operations,
5ut also aid in the control Of the seas,
one of the elements contributing ma
.erially to the power and prosperity
Of q nation
Secretary Daniels made this state
nent here in a public address upon
seronauts, in which he discussed the
conquest of the air by the United
States army and navy and the part
aerial navigation will take in future
wars.
Discussing the potentialities of the
aeroplane in war, the secretary be
lieved its chief use for the navy would
be in scouting and for destructive of
fensive operations against hostile
fleets and Notifications. Continuing,
he said:
'"The United States army has sew
enteen machines with total personnel
Of twenty-four officers. Seven more
machines are in sight. There is at
present no definite organization and
10 plan of cooperation between the
army and navy. The latter possesses
only four hydroplanes and three fly
ing boats, though it is proposed to buy
three more.
The war aeroplane and war airship
are today recognized and proven en-
gines of war by the leading nations
of the earth. In practice, our recogni-
tion is little more than theoretical"
The geographical position of the
United States was credited by Mr..
Daniels as the reason for this govern
ment tagging behind other nations in
developing and utilizing our own
gift" the aeroplane, to the world.
He emphasized the necessity for or
ganizing and training a sufficient and
efficient naval air service to protect
adequately "the Panama canal as
we'll as our own coast fortifications,' y
and expressed a strong personal belief
in this future.
Concluding, he said:
"Since it was Wilbur Wright who
first gave aviation its impetus by ac-
tually flying, it would be handsome
thing for the American people, who
are proposing all sorts of monuments
TO Wright, to perpetuate his memory
in the way he has most approved, by
erecting at the Langley laboratory a
handsome memorial building in which
to have the first machinery and in
struments Of the new national insti-
tuition"
