VvT HAT we call the "fashy" dresser
NAf the man who faunts gaudy waist
w coats, gay shirts, glowing socks and
coats of eccentric cut-should be encouraged
rather than laughed at and frowned down.
He should be immune from ridicule, says an
English writer because he Is performing
useful service to humanity by blazing the way
for a general reformation In male attire.
The clothes Of the average man Of to-day
are entirely devoid Of imagination and artis-
try. The frock coat, for example, still lin
gers with us, to figure on occasions of the
highest ceremonial. II Is still the prescribed
garb OF the statesman. And yet SO made
quately can the imagination OF man rise to
sartorial occasion that the frock coat is also
considered the essential uniform OF the un-
dertaker.
Consider again the masculine neither gar.
ment, as now worn No sculptor who fears
for his reputation dares chisel out pair OF
trousers in cold marble exactly as they are.
And what is not worthy to be perpetuated
cannot be true art
1t Is safe TO say there is no true man under
the age OF fifty who does not, in his heart
cherish a vague resentment at the limitations
imposed upon his sartorial inclinations by the
sedate, almost joyless, mode of the day, He
frets against the sombre hues, the blacks
and dull blues and grays, which are his only

There was no secret in the feeding

our experiment was not to get the
highest possible egg yield, but TO
show the effect of selective breeding
and crossing an egg yield. The con-

1t has never. been profitable
business to pick out the good layer
by some external characteristic or
some popularity OF disposition. We
can theorize till doomsday about
egg type and get nowhere. Up to
date there Is only one way OF pick
ing out the good layer and the poor
layer, and that is the performance
test as indicated by the trap nest
record.

that normal hens have potential

ton Is the trap nest. High lay
ing is an individual not a breed
or race characteristic as We have
breeds. A great many breeds Of
chickens, OF rather great many
strains Of a great many varieties
have been injured by too close breed
ing for show points that have no
correlation with utility or egg-laying
points.
We have no less an authority than
Darwin that crossing restores vigor
that has been lost through close
breeding or in-breeding. The effect
OF crossing is much debated and, /
am inclined TO think, much mis-
understood subject among poultry
breeders, but l will report some data
on that point later. Sufficient now
to say that the Oregon champion
layer was the result Of crossing. At
the same time this method Of i'm
provement may be abused as we'll as
used The immediate parents Of this
hen were both cross-bred. 1t mat
ters not that crossing crosses to-
gether may De a mongrelizing pro-
cess. If we are to believe certain
class of breeders this hen is mon
grel-neither of her parents were
pure~bred.
But wait n minute; her parents
were good layers and they transmit
ted that trait 10 her. Is she not,
therefore, pUre-bred egg layer,
a mongrel as a show bird, just as
the bird in the show room may be
a pure-bred show bird, though a mon
grel egg layer. If we cross the lat
ter with the former would We not
be mongrelizing egg-laying qualities?
l don't pretend to say rnat we must
necessarily cross 10 get high egg
records. The Missouri hen and the
Canada worlds record hen were pure
bred in tine meaning OF the Standard
Of Perfection, though not show birds.
but none OF the records that l have
quoted were made by hens that had
an ancestry Of good layers, so far as
known. To get high egg records By
selective breeding we must breed
for constitutional vigor, and the
quickest and surest way to get Vigor
Is 10 cross.
Another point about the ancestry
Of this hen is that her dam and sire
were related, the sire being a son OF
the dam. Here we have two oppos-
ing factors. crossing and inbreeding,
the one adding, and the other taking
away vigor. I will not anticipate my
report On our experiments On breed
ing, but In this case the hen had
great constitutional yigor and II un-
doubtedly came from her cross-bred
blood.
This hen, OF course, was red and
well fed. She was born with the
ability to lay; she had the inherited
tendency to lay; her ancestors did
their part. The great predisposing
factor in high egg prices and small
profits for the egg farmers, in other
words the low egg yield in the United
States, which Is about seventy eggs
per hen In year. Is the ancestry or
breeding OF the hens. They won't
lay by any kind OF feeding unless the
ability 10 lay has come 10 them from
their ancestors On the other hand
the hen may be born with the seed of
several thousand eggs, or oocytes,
as scientists would call them, but
she won't lay them unless the feeder
does his part.

OF promising never again to take
arms against their pale-fAce neigh

The oath of allegiance was admin
istered by DR.. Joseph Kessuth Dixon
writer and explorer. who has Travelled
among all Indian tribes Of North
America, telling them of the collosal
Rodman WanAmaker memorial that
the white men are erecting. In honor
Of the Indians. towering far above
their own Goddess of Liberty, In New
York harbor. Several thousand In
dams and large numbers Of white
people attended the ceremonies. Mr.
Dixon was met by the Indians In cos
tune and escorted by them to the
grounds arranged for the event.
At the grounds speeches were made
by DR.. Dixon, Maj. James McLAugh
lin, formerly commander Of the
reservation and now ofiicial Of the
department Of the interior: H. M
Robinson. who was chief clerk Of the
reservation Is years ago. and who ID
now president of the Tennessee rail
road, and by John Grass, chief Of the
Sioux.
In the afternoon the ceremonies
were resumed. Several prominent
Indians made short speeches, after
which flag was raised.
After Mr. Dixon had presented the
nag to the Indians in q speech tell
ing them Whist its colors signifled te
them and the banner had been raised
the Indians began their part Of the
program.
Racing, riding. broncho busting and
Indian games were INDUCED In FOL

Near the close of the day, the war

Ctrcling for over q mile the braves
whirled and whooped In the ghastly
light OF the camp Are and danced Il

At the end OF the fierce dance, how
ever. there was no dash of pillags
and slaughter against the whites
Instead the red men closed thei,
dance by shaking hands with the rep
resentatives OF the race they hav,
fought for centuries, and then salutet
