The White Leghorns are very poor
sitters and mothers, and it is almost
impossible to raise chicks by the nat
ural way, unless few females of the
heavier breeds are kept as mothers.
Otherwise it will be necessary to have
an incubator and brooders. If this is
not desirable, it may be advisable to
keep a hardy and broody breed, which
requires less care, and will lay a few
less eggs in return, but which win
hatch their own eggs and rear their
own offspring.
The old Barred Rock answers these
requirements as well as any. They
are a quiet and hardy fowl, good sit
tiers and mothers, and of medium size,
with a focky form, thus making a
good table fowl
The most formidable competitor OF
the Barred Plymouth Rock is the
White Wyandotte, hardy, general
purpose fowl, which is characterized
as a bird of curves. They are easy
to breed, uniform, and the absence OF
dark pin feathers has placed them in
high favor.
Another good general purpose breed
which has not been bred as long as
those mentioned Is the Rhode Island
Red. They are the most prolific lay
ers OF the general purpose class. Their
strong point is good winter laying.
The Rhode Island Red has been a
f1ff a. -to
this account its rapid popularity is not
to be wondered at Nevertheless they
have not been bred long enough SO
that their offspring Is very uniform in
color, although much Improvement in
this respect has been made in the past
few years.
In conclusion, the Barred Plymouth
Rock OF White Wyandotte Is best suit
ed for the farmer who does not have
time to give his flock much attention.
but has more or less range On which
the fowls can find a large part of their
own living.
For man who will give little more
time ard attention especially to breed
ing, the Rhode Island Red stands next
Next Ia order Is the White Eegborn.
Heavy egg production in any breed
depends upon the culling out OF the
inferior, weak birds, and then taking
proper care fer the rest of them. BY
keeping them free from lice and mites.
and giving them the right kind OF feed
and attention

frightened spectators. All the chairs
were lined with bodies and corpses
had to be placed in the kitchen of
the hall, and beneath the stage.
Within an hour. almost every per-
son in Calumet was as near the
scene as it was possible to get. The
police formed a Gordon about the
place and kept back the crowds. At
ter much effort a lane was opened
through the crowd and the bodies Of
the children were carried through
ranks of moaning and wailing women
to Red Jacket village hall. which
was turned into a morgue. 1t was
many hours before all the bodies
were identified.
During the confusion several
bodies of children were wrongfully
identified by mothers and taken
away, only to be returned later by
the parents who had found their own
offspring safe. Many parents ran
about uncertain whether their chill
dren were dead or alive. Many mo-
theirs tainted, while fathers cursed
all those who interfered with their
mad search for lost boys and girls.
For hours frantic women ran the
streets calling for their little ones.
OF the 700 persons in the hall
more than three-fourths we're chill
dren, many of them having gone
without their parents. These faith
ers and mothers soon rushed to the
scene and added to the confusion.
They did not understand what had
taken place and hindered the rescu-
ers by insisting on information as to
what was the matter.
There was a fire escape at the rear
of the building, but only those who
were very near it could make any
use OF 1t until after the fatal rush
was over. Probably not more than
hundred escaped by this means.
About a score more jumped from the
windows near which they sat. The
distance was not very high.
The greatest number of dead were
found at the bottom of short stair
way, leading to the main hall from a
hallway. w
Bodies were crumpled and broken,
but the features were not cut or
bruised.
