Is expected will contain many start
ling revelations. But 1t Is exceedingly
doubtful whether much will be heard
of it after the first sensation has died
out, as there is no enthusiasm for land
reform among the other members of

fore probably be shelved at any ratio
until after the fate of the govern

begin raising chickens. the advise is
given-don't jump: take things easy
and walk. Start with twenty-five
chickens. keep them for a year and
see what o can do with that num-
Der, and then gradually increase
your flock. Many too, have success
with twenty-five birds and fail utter
ly with five hundred. The trouble
with them is hat they forget that the
same attention to detail is needed for
live hundred as was given to twenty
five. In fact more.
Another thing about starting with a
large flock. Have you a market for
your eggs and chickens? If a man
has a large flock and the Eggs pile up
in his cellar or pantry he is in rather
a ridiculous position. He runs a
chance Of his eggs going bad.
Then. too, a man who has little or
no experience will not be able to dis
tinguish birds with a contagious dis
ease. and half the flock may be swept
away. or may be SO i'll that they will
be Improbable to keep. A large. in
vestment under those conditions is
unwise.
So take these things under consid.
Grafton and don't be foolish with your
money. There is money to be made
IN chickens, but One must start small
and build up. There is pleasure in
the business, too. The raising Of
chickens from the egg and the caring
of them until they go to market is
really a. fascinating thing.
Anent the talk Of curing the egg
eating habit, one OF our readers
writes:
Having seen the controversy re-
yarding egg eating. I wish to submit
the following article taken from one
OF the poultry reviews: i have a flock
OF aluable lens which were far too
good to give the axe" and after two
trials of the following treatment the
egg eating stopped. Il would also like
to add that when plenty Of shells are
Kept before the hens they are less apt
to touch the eggs.) Here is the treat
ment: Take an egg and partly re-
move the contents by making a small
hole In both ends Of the shell and
owing out the white. Then fill the
egg with ammonia, shaking thorough

corporated. Seal the holes and take
the egg to the hen house. Break the
shell in full View of the hens, inviting
them to the feat. I then place a Sec
ono egg treated the same way in the
nest box, and seldom is it touched.
Il hope this will help some of your
readers who are troubled with egg.

n Columbian W%andotte is the last
of the breed to be added to the stand
ard varieties of this breed. Its color
and its markings give it a resemblance
to the Light Brahma.
A short description of the other
breeds will be given later.
So much is being said nowadays
about the profits in poultry that many
city people with a few dollars believe
they can go and do likewise with
out actual experience. That is. they
believe the only requirement is capi-
tai; that any n can raise chickens.
Well, any n can raise chickens, if
he or h will try. But a nan who
has never been on a farm, be it big
or small ~(suburban lots included),
where poultry is kept, has peculiar
ideas about the raising of chickens.
A mar said the other day:
is 1t really necessary to do all the
work o advise on a chicken farm?
l thought I'd start one with a couple
of thousand dollars. My idea was
that il l had 400 or 500 chickens all
/! need do was to throw them some
feed n give them a little water to
drink. and just collect the eggs"
Many people invest money in chick
ems with that same idea. They don't
understand that the feeds have to be
balanced, that care must be taken not
to overfeed or underfeed, that variety
be given, that water must be clean.
and that they must keep the coops
clean. The idea Of cleaning out the
coop doesn't enter into some calcula.
tons. They don't understand the de-
structive work Of lice and mites, and
bad odors from filth.

understand them they are not willing
to do the work. Like any other bust
ness. h keeping of chickens needs
capital and labor and some experience.
Many beginners start on too large a
scale. They expect to jump into the
great profits" Of poultry in one jump.

POULTRY
1.-THE PLYMOUTH ROCK AND THE
WYANDOTTF-


The Plymouth Rock is today one of
the most popular general-purpose
birds. The best known variety is the
Barred Rock. It's history dates back
over a quarter of a century. 1t is a
breed that was brought out in this
country, and its ancestors are ID
ed to have been the American Domi-
nique and the Black Java. Claim is
made that the Light Brahma, Dark
Brahma and the Pit Game were also
used in the making of the Plymouth
Rock.
These birds are of medium size and
we'll proportioned. Their breasts are
full, making them most acceptable for
tabl use. They make excellent broil-
ers at eight to twelve weeks Of age.
Their ggs are brown. They lay all
the year round. They are good. win.
ter layers.
Besides the Barred variety there
are also the white and the buff.
The Wyandotte is another good
general-purpose bird. 1t is a trile
lighter than the Plymouth Rock. II
was produced by crossing the Dark
Brahma, the silver-spangled HAM
burg, and the Breda, a French bird.
Some believe there is Cochin blood in
h Wyandotte. They are a hardy
bird. and stand the cold weather we'll.
They lay q brown egg and average
about fourteen dozen a year. They
are good winter layers, and make fine
broilers and roasters.
There are eight varieties of them.
