and is, perhaps, all things considered,
the most popular breed in this coun-
try at the present time.
It's 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
pulIets 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. The
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 al 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

GIVE THE VEGETABLES ROOM
Much Garden Truck Has Been Ruined
by Not Thinning Out at Proper
Time-Nerve Needed.

Do not be afraid to thin out your
plants-they must not be crowded
Probably more garden stuff has been
ruined for want of being thinned at
the proper time than by any other
cause.
However that may be, one of the
most puzzling things for the begin
ner to find out is whether any particu-
lar vegetable should be thinned or
transplanted, and how far apart the
plants should stand afterward.
He will get some help from the cat
alogues as to the distances, but
whether he should transplant or thin
is the kind of thing that is not in the
book.
It requires great deal Of nerve to
pull up and destroy the unnecessary
seedling-more nerve than the anna
teur possesses. They say that per-
son never becomes a good gardener
until he steels his nerve to this
ruthless sacrifie.
A vegetable must have plenty OF
room to develsp it's best size and
flavor, and one can take no pride in
small commonplace vegetables.

CHICKENS FOR A FARM
American Breeds Meet Demand
for General Purpose Fowl.
Best Recommendation for Plymouth
Rock Is Excellent Growth OF
Chicks, in Which Quality They
Are Without Superior.
Rv r. O. ERT.l

The American breeds of chickens
have been made by the mixing of GER
tain types. They have been formed to
meet the demand for general pur-
pose fowl and they fulfill this demand
better than any other breed.
These breeds are more variable in
traits than breeds with more years Of
uniform ancestry to their credit. II
strict selection is not maintained the
American varieties are inclined to
vary and revert to ancestral types.

food was found to consist of 1891 per
cent. animal food to O.69 per cent of
vegetable.
From this it is evident that the
good qualities of the western yellow
bellied fiy-catcher far outweigh the
bad-if indeed it can be said to have
any bad ones. It eats predaceous
beetles, but the percentage is SO
small that no great harm can be done.
The other insects are mostly those
that we are glad to lose. The bird
is too small to injure fruit or grain,
and it is of confiding and domestic
nature, inclired to live about the
abodes of man, where it can do the
most good.

fers a jaunty style. A straight mili- tary collar is used with this type of coat.
 The fichu has returned with added popularity, a fact which will be well comed by dainty women. The fichu has always been numbered among the artistic trimmings, and the woman who admired a picturesque gown should all ways choose this type of adornment. Paris designers have extensively en- ployed the fichu as a garniture on the lingeries frocks this season, and 1t ap- pears in many phases.
 Almost every sheer material has been successfully utilized to fashion the fichu, and it is made in all widths and lengths from the broad Marie Antoin- cite fichu to the narrow strip of folded maline outlining the neck line of the bodice
 The more expensive fichus are of rare Iaces or embroideries while sim pie designs of white net bordered with g narrow pleated frill of the same ma teriaI are surprisingly inexpensive. Unusually dainty is a fichu of Bohem- ian lace with inset medaliOns of em- brOidered net. The edges are bound with bias fold of black mousseline de SOie, and buttons covered with the same material adorn the front. A fithu of this type will make even the plain est frock elaborate.
 For grace and softness of line the fichu of folded maline. It is draped ar tfstically over the shoulders, one end passing beneath the bodice front and the other forming pointed end. White maline is folded and arranged to fill in the place at the V-shaped neck line This fichu is particularly becoming, and appears to the greatest advan- tage when used to trim a gown of soft silk
 The fichu of tucked net is charming and can be easily duplicated. Plain white net is finely tucked for the foundation, and this is bordered with

This will give the pilgrims daylight ride through beautiful mountain scenery, q rare treat that many have never before been privileged to enjoy and a brief opportunity to visit with the neighbors . little further north.
 According to w NJ Betts, this schedule was decided upon after due consideration for the convenience of the brethren from the south as il will permit them remain at their bus mess all of the Saturday previous and still make the special. If the train from the south is late that morning the special will be held until it arrives
 This is the first time that people from the south have had the oppor- tunity of going direct from Phoenix to the canyo on.
 Now, here's some real news Sup orintendent c H. Reed of the Harvey svstem stopped off in Phoenix for two or three days the latter part Of the week, coming especially to see ahOut the arrangement for the diner that will be carried as part of the train. He says it will be the pret- uest diner ever seen in this section and that it will be stocked almost completely from the Salt River nd Verde valleys. That's loyalty to Arf- zona and besides insures the pilgrims of having the very best the land a:- fords when it comes to the satisfying Of the inner man.
 From almost every section of the country where there are Masons and that means everywhere come words of commendation for the enterprise shown by Bctts and his lodge in turning the canyon to some pract- icable use And on September s and 2 there is going to be the largest and most unique gathering of Ma4ons eN CT held in the southwest

BILL BRADLEY
 BACK IN TOWN
Popular Merchants Patrol man, Brideless and Pen niless, Comes Home to Spend the Rest of His Days in Peace.

Bill Bradley, roke and glad of it, drifted acll to Phoenix last night, and is ready to begin all over again. Bill during that time he visited Chicago, Milwaukee, Fon du Lac, Grapenuts- vile and the Cook county jail. With a new headache dingus and the same old smile the popular co-conspirator of Merchants PatrOlman Harry Gas kin is now again on the job and ready to give his partner a day off.
 Bill had been contemplating a vaca- tion for about 'steen years. Finally he screwed up his courage enough to ride on the cars and then he started. He blew into the foot of the lake city and met his old home folks. He wore a sOmbrero and a deep tan and every body asked him how he liked the west an whether he ever expected to go back And to one and all he stated in the plainest language possible that it was Phoenix for him the rest of his life
 Somebody started a rumor that Bill intended to get hitched while he was away and perhaps he did. But be that as it may he returne empty handed last night and thereby relieved the anxiety of many a local feminine heart
 I've seen quite a number of towns since I've been gone, but I tell you Phoenix is the best of them all," said Bill as he gazed at the Gardiner twelve-stOry building which is going to be built and noted the clean. cool Pavements and the soda water stands. Why. there isn't another city this side of the hereafter, that has got anything on Phoenix and I'm done with travel ing. I've hung up my hat here and that goes"

HANS BACK FROM !. HIS ELOPEMENT.
Popular Phoenician "Runs Away" With His Wife and Has Time of His Life Sailing Up and Down the Pacific Coast.

Hans Herlick calls it an elOpement Mrs. Herlick classes it as q summer excursion Their son. Martin. says he doesn't care N hat the old folks name
 it, the fact remains it was the finest trip he ever took. For Hans Herlick and the good wife ran away from Phoenix just one month ago, picked up their son in California, stopped a few days in san Francisco, took q trip on an ocean-g -goinS steamer up to 1 Seattle and back to the Golden Gate, sent their boy back to San Rafael, where in January he began a course in the military academy, and then sailed for San Diego. If there had
 been a boat coming to Phoenix they would have sailed back to the Salt River valley.
 MT and Mrs. Herlick reached Phoe- nix late Friday night. They agreed
 they had had the time of their lives, the honeymoon trip not excepted. They had been gone all of August. and undergoing many varied and in teresting experiences, not the least of which was that of seasickness. But it's all over now and there are none but the pleasantest of memories. From Phoenix the Herlicks went directly to san Francisco. There they were met by Martin. and the three spent several days in doing the town" Then they boarded a steamer for Seattle No sooner were they well outside the Golden Cate than old Neptune began kicking up rum pus Their boat was buffeted and tossed about until one of the pro peller shafts gave way and they were obliged to proceed under less than
 half speed
 With one propeller working satis- factorTy and men attempting to make repairs at sea, the boat moved on at all times in close touch by wireless with other vessels and with the land
 trip that should have taken three days occupied five days, but the weather soon calmed down and the entire party was cheerful. except those who were making the trip for business reasons. The others didn't seem to mind. as the steamship com pany was taking good care of them and giving them plenty of good food to eat
 The return trip from Seattle to San Francisco was made without mishap or unpleasant incident. As MT. Her lick had been ordered by his physi- 'ldn 10 make i Nti voyage tIleN ut- cided upon reaching san Francisco to continue on down the coast to San Diego. And it wasn't hard medicine t. take
 But. after all. I'm glad to be back in Phoenix" said MT. Herlick yesterday. I didn't visit a city where there seemed to be greater evidence of prosperity than right here in our own little town I'm gI11 could make the trip. but I wouldn't trade this town for all the cities I visited while gone"
