Some Good Barred Rocks.

HAVE been trying my luck on the
i Barred Plymouth Rock for five
years, and find them to be a fine
strain OF chickens. I started out

small schedule. as I only have about
SO for this year.
I have derived a very neat profit
from my fowls-from 500 to $50.
per year. Those used by the family
have paid the feed bill. l have lost
but very few little chicks in raising.
and have never lost grown fowl by
disease.
We SOW rye. oats and grass near
the yard and our fowls have free
range to this grain We feed corn
oats, wheat, rye, caneseed, meal and
plenty of milk. Our fowls have laid
all thru the cold weather and we
have been able to get fancy prices
for our eggs.
I find that early chickens are
easier raised. and then they are more
profitable, not only for friers, hut
because they make the largest birds
and the best layers when eggs de-
mand fancy prices.

THE POULTRY YARD.

the use of green rye pasture. The
green stuff possesses no great food
value, but acts as a tonic, stimulat-
ing digestion and enabling the fowl
to consume more food. Big feeders
will certainly lay more eggs provided
the food be balanced properly than
a fowl with poor appetite. 1t is
furthermore good proof of the value
of green bone as the animal source
of protein.
I do think, tho, that Mr.. Gray
should place a lower estimate on
his green bone. You will find a
green bone mill turned by hand
is one of the hardest PROPOSE
tions that you ever ran up against,
and unless you have plenty of muscle
and plenty of time you will soon
abandon a mill. On the other hand,
most of the butchers want to sell you
the bone. In my neighboring town
a butcher has mill and grinds up
his bone. He gets four cents a pound
for it. Even at this price, you can
get eggs cheaper with the bone. If
you have a gasoline engine and can
afford to get large cutter for pow
er, you can afford to handle the bone,
if you can get it for very small
consideration. Our butchers are
learning more and more that bone
is valuable by-product, and | find
it difficult matter to get it without
paying more than it is worth.

You can judge for yourself from
the figures below:

bred Barred Rocks for several years
before. but sold out of them and
went into the White Orpingtons ex-
clusively.

ming eggs from Is cents to So per
egg.
The first year raised enough to
give me a good start and sold $50
worth of eggs besides, and had 40
breeders left over for last years busi-
ness.
My sales amounted to $7O1.4O. My
feed bill costing me $165, leaving me
a profit Of $44.7O per month for the
year.
We ate over 100 young chicks and
had eggs the whole year, Of which no
account was kept, and have over SO
breeders left in my yards now for
this years business.

Early-Laying or Winter-Laying Birds?

A FLORIDA correspondent, Mrs. A.
IA M. Reynolds, takes me to task
for omitting in my resume OF the re-
port on the Missouri egg-laying con-
test, "the strong point in favor of
the Mediterranean birds, the early
age at which they begin to lay"
I will admit that many strains Of
the Leghorns, Andalusians, Ham
burgs and Minorcas mature early,
and many pullets begin laying when
AZ to five months old. 1t is also
claimed by many breeders Of Plym-
outh Rocks, Wyandottes, R. I. Reds.
Of their pullets begin laying when
five to " months old. This would
give the Mediterraneans an advan-
tage of from one-half to one month
in maturity. OF what special value
is this? Chicks hatched in March,
April or May, will make their pullet
growth during the summer months,
when green feed is at its best, and
when insect life is most plentiful,
consequently, at the time when the
cost Of feed is lowest, and the han
ding and care is easiest. Until a
pullet begins to lay she does not re-
quire any surplus feed to provide for
egg production, all the feed consum-
ed going to build the frame and ma
ture the fowl. Now assuming the
annual cost of feeding mature fowl
to average $1.50 each, this would be
12A cents per month. Evidently
n Inn 4I,n Rvc
let's life she will not eat more than a
full-grown fowl, SO the amount saved
in feed, by the Mediterranean pullet,
laying at 4 " months, over her Amer
lean, English, or Asiatic sister, be-
ginning at ~ months, will not ex-
ceed 12A cents. In duration of egg
production they are at least equal.
Now, three important questions
present themselves in fairly deciding
the market value of breed: (1)
The average annual production: (2)
the season when production is larg-
est; CD the market value of surplus
males and of non-producing females.
AS between the Leghorn and the
heavier breeds, the last is self-evi-
dent. take only the two first.
The complete record for the II
months of the Missouri contest
shows that the largest monthly prc-
duction. grouping all varieties of
each breed together, was as follows:
November, January and February,
Orpingtons; December and March.
Rhode Island Reds; April and Au-
gust. Plymouth Rocks: May and Sep
tember, S. S. Hamburgs; October,
Wyendottes; June and July, Leg
horns From this table, it is evil
dent that the Mediterraneans, Leg
horns especially, produced the most
during the season when eggs bring
the lowest prices and are the most
difficult to keep and handle safely.
Another result of the test is equal
ly important. Fifty-nine hens out Of
a total of 655 hens in the contest laid
each 200 eggs or more during the
year, as follows: Orpingtons, ten out
of SO birds: R. I. Reds, IA out of 90
birds; Wyandottes, IL out Of 65
birds; Plymouth Rocks, five out Of
100 birds; Langshans, two out of ten
birds, and Leghorns, Is out of 40
birds.
E Do not these two tables show
clearly, so far as the Missouri test
goes, that I'd the English and Amer
lean breeds, and Langshans tof ASH
attest show h;ohor c.,,,,-., ..~.

fore. After that rain the temperature
fell and practically killed" the attend
ance.
1t was even worse in Chicago the
next day. Seven thousand fans shiv-
cred through the game. Good wealth
err would have coaxed out three times
seven thousand.
1t appears that the limit was reach
ed when the Giants and Sox perform

but there may be worse things in
store. With any kind of decent wealth
er the tourists could have counted on
a big crowd at Springfield. That city
is the home of sinister Dick Kin

sella developed Larry Doyle there, and
Larry had never played in Springfield
since he became big leaguerer.
But even with all these attractions
and the governor of Illinois TO throw
out the ball, only a thousand hardy
persons braved pneumonia to see the
game. 1t was even too chilly for foot

The elements appear almost vindic-
tive in their persecution of the base

fishing the Giants for daring to show

SIOUX CITY, Ia, Oct. 25.-The Gil
ants and White Sox-or rather the
two teams which are masquerading
under those handles" for the sake OF
distinction and the printers union
may not make the much discussed tour
of the world. McGraw has not said
SO, nor has "Charley" Comiskey. 1t
seems that the trip may end at Van
cOuver.
When the itinerary was arranged
business acumen demanded that pre-
liminary jaunt be made in this coun-
try in an effort to make at least
enough money to cover expenses. II
the expenses were not to be covered
before it was time to leave this coun-
try there is every reason to believe
the windup would produce deficit.
Since this TRIP was not arranged az a
benefit for the players, or to advertise
She game alone, the logical reasoning
has been advanced that unless the at
tendances are greater than they were
in Cincinnati, where $500 people wit
messed Saturdays game, and in Chi
cago. on Sunday, when 1000 were on
hand, the trip will end at Vancouver,
which was to have been tn last stop
before starting across the water.
Small Gate Charges.

In the Philippines some money may
be picked up, but admission charges
in other countries are so small in COM
parison with what is charged in the

logical to believe that once this coun-
try is left behind the pickings will not
be very good.

CONFIDENT
OF BEATING "CH"
Outcome of Today's Game
Will Decide Which Team
Stays in Battle.

CHICAGO, Oct 25.-Confidence in
their ability to beat Chicago was ex-
pressed by the Purdue coach and ev-
cry member of the squad when they
left the field yesterday after their sig
nal practice for the game this after
noon.
The practice of the Boiler Makers
was a secret affair but the Chicago
players got an opportunity to see the
team as it left the gymnasium and
were considerably impressed with the
weight and appearance of the Hoosier
team.
Coach Smith is by far the most
optimistic instructor that has invaded
Chicago this year, despite the fact
that his school has defeated Chicago
only three times in the last eighteen
years.
The game this afternoon at Mar
shall Field is Of vital Importance to
both schools as upon it's outcome
hangs the claims of each institution to
the years championship. Purdue is
known to be strong, but Chicago root
ers are hoping that Coach Stage has a
lot of plays ready to be uncorked that
were not worked against Iowa last Sat
urday.

FEW DAIRY COWS
BRING IN PROFITS
Cobb to Start Campaign in
Effort to Improve
Conditions.

Better Dairy Cow" campaign will
be started soon by County Agent Cobb.
in an effort TO bring Wayne county
above the other counties of the state in
dairy conditions. The reason for the
campaign is the report OF tests made
of a hundred herds in the state which
developed that only one-third OF the
$1,000 cows are paying the owners a
profit, one-third are paying for their
upkeep and about 200. 900 are being
kept at a loss.
Mr.. Cobb will have tentative plans
within week He probably will take
up the work by starting dairy COW
clubs If it is possible to interest a
large enough number of farmers in
them. However. many farmers who
only have one or two cows. are not
sufficiently interested or believe that
they could not be included as dairy
men.
The average COW is not a paying
proposition, the statewide investiga-
ton recently showed. While a we'll
kept dairy cow may earn the owner
$50 to $50 a year, reports show that
from the average COW, the farmer
breaks even" neither making nor los
ing any money. This is exclusive OF
his care of the animal.
The average COWS give $500 pounds
of milk annually of which the average
amount of butter fat is $50 pounds
which can be sold at s45. Then the
amount of SKINNED milk left is about
$50 gallons which brings one cent a
gallon.
SKINNED milk is the best food for
growing animals, says Cobb.

STREET STORIES

A young Richmond man and a
friend, a stranger here, who was Wis
iting him, walked along Main street
recently. The local man was puzzled
when his friend nodded and spoke to
a charming young woman who passed
driving a motor car. He was more
puzzled by the friendly bow and smile
with which she returned the greeting.
The Richmond man said nothing,
but was still more surprised when his
companion continued speaking to per
sons passing in rapidly moving ma
chimes, all of whom smiled and spoke
to him.
Exasperated, the Richmond man
broke out:
Look here, old man, I thought you
said you didn't know anybody in this
town"
Il don't" came the reply.
But you have been speaking to
some of the most prominent persons
in the city, people whom | don't know,
and they have all responded"
That's an old one" replied the
friend Il have made up my mind
that people who ride in automobiles
are going so fast they're not sure about
the features of persons they pass, and
rather than run the risk of offending
some one, speak to every one who
speaks to them"
