territory is divided. This part of
the State is assigned to the Cleve-

western portion of the State goes
to st. Louis, Mo. We were first
anxious for Louisville, then Gin

the proposed places. st. Louis
would have been more convenient
for this territory. The law is all
right, if, as in our situation, it is
a little inconvenient.

SHAPE AND VIGoR OF FOWLS
Vitality Should Be First Requisite In
Every Domestic Bird Used for
Breeding Purposes.

By D. J. LAMBERT. Poultry Instructor.
Rhode Island State College. Copy
right. 19l4)
Careful selection of breeding stock,
eliminating all those showing traces of
weakness, will insure poultry raisers
against three-fourths of the mortality
Of chickenhood.
Astounding vitality should be the
6rst requisite in every domestic fowl
used for breeding purposes. No mat
ter what class, breed, variety, size or
cost. or how excellent the prize record
or fine the plumage, If the bird is lack
Ing in stamina it should never be used
for reproduction. These rules apply
to all kinds and both sexes.
The most vigorous males of common
fowls are invariably loud Growers,
proud strutters and ready fighters, and
vigorous male can be detected by
the way he carries himself and by
the way he stands upon his feet and
throws out his chest when he crows.
Other unmistakable signs of vigor are
straight, upright, bright red comb.
stout beak, broad back and smooth
shanks set we'll apart.
Hens and pullets of strong vitality
type are generally prolific layers, are
off the roost at dawn and will keep
at work until darkness compels them
to stop. They are always wide awake,
Industrious busybodies, and in shape
these hens are broad across the hips.
the tail is carried fairly we'll up and
their size is near the average for tho
breed.
For breeding purposes hens are gen.
orally preferred to pullets because
they are fully natured and possess
stored up vitality after their annual
mott. Furthermore, their second lay.
ing year they will lay larger eggs
which produce stronger chickens.
A well-matured year-old cockerel is
often surer stock getter than an
adult cock because the former is gen.
orally more active and sprightly. The
number of hens to one male depends
upon how many eggs are desired for
incubation and whether the flock is
confined in yard or has unlimited
range. 1t is better to breed only from
the very best than to include inferior
specimens to make up a larger pen,
Four to eight hens, with one cockerel
Is usually better than a large mum
Der, especially when space is limited
and vigorous male will take care OF
forty or fifty hens on free farm range
So long as both sexes are strong and
hardy it is possible to get good results
in breeding from very closely related
stock, which is frequently done by
breeders of show-ring birds.

raw material depends upon the manu-
facturer for a market for his product.
The manufacturer as an individual is
the more dependent because Of the
fact that the factory must have the
producer of raw material in order to
exist. The producer is more at liberty
to change his line than is the manu-
facturer, hence while there is a close
interdependence between the producer
and the manufacturer, the former Is
the more independent, and it is there
fore expedient that the manufacturer
attempt in every way possible to as
sist him in producing the raw material
more intelligently and economically.
The above holds true of the rela-
tionship existing between the cream
cry and the dairy farmer The cream
cry is dependent on the farmer for its
existence, for the amount Of raw ma
terial received, and consequently for
the economic production OF the I'm
ished article per unit. 1t is necessary
that the farmer be shown how to pro
duce milk and cream economically
else he has tendency to turn to other
lines of agriculture. While much has
been said and written about the profits
to be derived from dairy farming, un-
less proper methods are employed the
income from the dairy herd is very
small Anything that can be done to
increase the profit from dairy herd
in community not only increases the
profit of the farmer, but it also adds
to the profit of the creamery. 1t seem
therefore, good business for the cream
cry to do all within it's power to aid
its patrons in getting their business
on a sound basis, which means
greater and more economical produc
ton.

Layer In Demand.

The high price Of eggs the past
several years, with every indication
of the prices remaining the same for
some time to come, has caused de-
mand for the layer. BY that Is meant
that, no matter what breed, 1t must
possess egg producing qualities, and
this class of breeders is the one to
reap the benefit in sale Of eggs,
chicks or stock. Any show strain
without good reproducing qualities
will not long remain the favorite

HELPFUL PUMP SUGGESTION
Additional Water May Be Secured
From Deep Wells by Inserting
Check Valve In Pipe.
(By w. BYORTON.)

A good many farmers are troubled
with the common suction pumps used
in deep wells-pumps that work hard
and draw but very little water. These
can be made to work much better by
uncoupling. the pipe as near the joint
as possible. Then place an old cylin-
der with a check valve in it at the bot
tom. This will hold the pressure OF
the water and will lessen the strain
on the lift valve. I have used this in
very deep wells and have had the best
of results.

Possibilities.

The prince you envy now may lie
In Deaths embrace tomorrow night;
His look Is proud. his head is high
But Fate may aim, cen now, to smite
The man who seems so richly blessed.
Tonight may in shroud be dressed
The beggar whom you pass in scorn,
Who whining, asks you for a crust,
In purple robes tomorrow morn,
May call you to a place of trust;
The fates and Chance may, even now,
Be shaping laurels for his brow.
We cannot know we may not guess,
What changes any hour may bring;
The bard whose songs are proftless
Tomorrow may for profit sing!
These wonders may be brought to pass
The chance is very poor, alas.

Success With Poultry.

The better conditions as to soil and
climate the better the success with
poultry. While poultry can be sue
cessfully raised at a profit in almost
any place, conditions play an impor-
tant part, and where the soil and eli
matte conditions are good the profits
are sure to be greater than where con-
ditions are not so favorable.
