lowed to confuse. the public mind. All
rescues were accomplished In lifeb oats
and in no. other way. Lifebots Sent
to the rescue in such emergencies
should be manned by seamen regularly
drilled In lowering boats, in rowin5
them, in carrying heavy and difficult
burdens while scaling the ladders OF
steamships In storm and darkness.
Because someone in the lifeboat
failed In tying a sailors knot, five
year-old frankie Grossman came with
an inchof perishing in the transfer
from the lifeboat to the Kroonland.
The ropes slipped from his shoulders
to his ankles. He dangled head down
ward and would have cracked his skull
against the ships side, had not the
long black arm of stoker thrust
through stoke hole clutched him at
arms length.
The Kroonland, carrying only 20
seamen. eked out the crews for two
lifeboats with stokers and stewards.
All her other lifeboats were useless for
this rescue work for want. of seamen!
1t Is a shame to the American public
that, for 20 years, a bin requiring adc-
quate equipment of seamen on steam
boats coming into American ports has
been banded to and fro between the
two houses of Congress. After the
loss of the Titanic. 1t seemed inevitable
that this bin shonld be passed without
loss of time.
Yet today. 10 months after that trag-
edy, Senator IAFollettes bill (S. 1860
having passed the Senate. is again de-
layed in the House.

Dominiques, An Old American Breed

Gathers hold that the French. Cuckoo
fowls furnished the foundation stock. In
any event, American poultrymen intro
duced other blood and perfected this breed
in order to create type of fowls best
suited to meet our local requirements.
Before the Introduction of the Barred
Plymouth Rock the Dominique was very
popular and was widely bred, but the
former breed quickly supplanted the lat
ter in popular esteem. However, the
many fine qualities of the Dominique are
revival of interest In the old breed
especially in sections where brown eggs
are in demand. f
The desired weight for specimens of this
breed are as follows: Cook S pounds;
cockerel, Z; hen. 8; pullet. 1t will be
observed that the average is appro Il
mately 1h pounds less than Plymouth
Rocks OF corresponding ages
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-11-09

The ground color OF exhibition Domi-
nique is grayish white each feather being
crossed by regular, dark bars. While the
fine, narrow barring-as in Barred Rocks
lis preferred, the markings are usually
coarser than appear on well-bred speci-
mems OF. the latter breed. AS rule, the
males are lighter In color, than exhibition
Barred Rocks. Legs. bill and skin are
yellow; eyes red.
Dominiques have many characteristics
which appeal strongly to the commercial

to perpetuate and intensity the good quail

By c. 5. tn. VAN SINK

It Is unfortunate from the standpoint
of present-day poultry breeders. that full
information regarding the origin of our
modern breeds of fowls has not been pre-
served. The exact history of some breeds
and varieties Is known. Regarding others,
including many which have been pro-
duced in recent years. but little exact in
formation Is available.
Among the breeds whose origin is
shrouded in mystery is the Dominique.
That this is an American breed seems to
be generally accepted, but how 1t was
made up and who produced it Is not
known and probably never will be. Some
writer's express the belief that the Dom
Unique descended from hawk-colored fowls
brought from England by early settlers.

Dr.. Sanborn requires no introduction
to the poultry fraternity. He has been
breeding fowls for nearly quarterly of
a century. and for many years his contri-
buttons have appeared In many of the
leading agricultural and poultry pnbli-
cations. He is also the author of several
practical textbooks. which have been
widely distributed. The foundation of his
success as writer lies in his practical
knowledge of the poultry business. He
deals in facts, not theories, and he Sc
cures these facts from his daily work
with his birds. In the accompanying arti-
Gle he deals with the home flock of poul-
try, giving Instructions regarding its es-
tablishment and management.
