The matter of color is important in
considering the amount of pleasure
to be derived from keeping a limited
number of chickens in, or near a city
The light-colored breeds cannot be
kept in close confinement near city

"dingy" look which detracts greatly
from the beauty of the fowl. No

edge will stand close confinement so
well as will the Partridge Wyandotte.

A prominent breeder of Partridge
Wyandottes says he frequently has
pullets laying at five months old.
On July 8 last year this breeder took
off hatch, among which We're
eighteen pullets. Four of these laid
their first eggs on December "a, and
on January u he got sixteen eggs
from the pen of eighteen. This We
must admit TO be a great record, espe-
cially for late-hatched pullets, and Is
sufficient evidence that il is not nee
essary to hatch Partridge Wyandottes
in February or March, in order to get
winter layers.

Would you like TO cut roses every
day. from June until November?
Then you should plant hybrid teas.
Even in the inhospitable climate OF
northern New Jersey you may enjoy
the beauty and fragrance of the rose
all summer, If you are willing to give
the extra care which these overbloom-
ers require in the way of winter pro-
lection.
The hybrid tea is a cross between
the hybrid perpetual and the tea rose.
The roses inherit their fragrance and
constant blooming qualities from the
teas, with the vigor of growth and
hardness of the hybrid perpetnals.
The rose will thrive in any good
soil that will grow other flowers well,
but prefers a clayey loam- There is
no danger of getting 1t too rich. One
of the greatest difficulties which the
beginner has is in making a selection
of the best varieties to plant, where
he has only the catalogue description
as a guide. While this description
may be perfectly correct in certain
localities, the variety may not do well
at all in our climate, with the care
which you are able to give. For this
reason many prefer to buy the small
pot-plants. which cost but few cents
each.
If they are suited to their environ
ment, they will grow finely through
the season, give a few blossoms be-
come thoroughly established, and

1t is just as much trouble to grow
a poor rose as a good one. And there
are enough good ones to occupy all
the space which you can devote TO
them.
The following varieties have been
grown in many gardens hereabouts
and proved entirely satisfactory:

the cost. They are sometimes, and
of necessity, influenced more by
economy than by convenience; but
by careful study they may often be
made consistent with both. 1t is
economical, for instance, to have but
one outside entrance to this house.
With this entrance nearest the barns
and the entrance from the highway

and inexpensive .pergola and benches
which separate the lawn and the back
yard, it should serve every purpose OF

kitchen door. In many ten and
twelve-room farm-houses. with three
or four outside doors, only one door
Is much used, and that one is either
in or near the kitchen.
Provides Much Space
Notwithstanding the simplicity and
the playhouse appearance of the
building suggested by the department
1t provides more disable space for the
daily activities of the family than
many larger houses. 1t is more con-
venient for a small family, more COM
Portable, healthful and delightful
than many farmhouses costing twice
as much.
Very few residences of any size or
cost have a kitchen more pleasantly
located, better lighted and ventilated,
and more conveniently arranged than
this little four-room house. 1t is
frightened by the morning sun, cooled
by the southern breezes, and shielded
from the intense heat of summer af-
ternoons. 1t commands a view of the
garden, the Fairgrounds, the barns,
the lawn, the gate and the highway.

in the house. Much of the kitchen

which, happily for the other rooms
of the house, blow out through the

The stove is we'll lighted and, with
the porch window closed, it is out of

six feet of the most distant fixture in
the kitchen and but little farther

table and the fuel in the box beneath
it are but two steps away. The
ashes drop from the firebox of the

WHO'S WHO IN POULTRY
Series OF Articles in Which Enthusiasts Describe the Fowls
They Raise and Tell Why They Like Them.

The majority of poultry raisers.
and those who Just keep a few
chickens prefer what is perhaps best
known as the "general-purpose
fowl, weighing at maturity seven to
eight pounds, which is a good layer,
and without the fiighty nervousness
of the lighter breeds.

breed stands higher than the Part

enough to hold a years supply of
ashes.
The fuel box, supporting the table
top; occupies space which might
OF herwise be wasted. It is filed from
the outside of the house and emptied
from the inside through a small door
over the concrete floor.
A trap or dump, like that In the
fireplace, Is provided for floor sweep
ings and possible dust from the door
of the coal or wood box. 1t is in the
concrete floor, behind the kitchen
door, near the fuel box opening and
over the ash bin
The carrying of fuel and ashes is
thus eliminated from the woman's
work: provided the man or boy fills
the coal or wood box each week,
or as may be necessary, and empties
the ash bin two or three times a
year.
The water problem also has been
carefully considered in this little
plan. Cistern water may be drawn
from the bucket pump on the porch,
or, If desired, from pitcher pump
at the sink Hot water Is heated
and stored in the reservoir of the
stove. The sink, with only the drain
pipe to be provided, is too inexpen-
sive to omit from any kitchen and
space enough has been saved In this
one to more than pay for all such
conveniences.
This little kitchen excels many 9TH
ers in not being a thoroughfare TO
other rooms. The men and boys will
wash on the porch leave their hats
and raincoats there, and enter the
living room without disturbing the
kitchen workers.
Uses of Porch.
The screened porch is as large as
the plan will permit, but too small
for all the purposes for which 1t VIII
be in demand. Besides the usual
kitchen or work, the ironing and
perhaps the clothes washing will be
done there. The one screen door
locks up the house, the butter, meat
and milk put on the porch to cool at
night will be secure against dogs and
cats. The porch will be in demand
also as dining porch. sitting-porch,
sleeping-porch and playroom. It's uses
and the comfort of the house in win

door.

uary and February, at time when
one egg is worth three laid during
the summer. The Partridge Wyan-
dotte has rose comb, and this is a
point which must be considered in
their favor when winter eggs are de-
sired. Rose combs do not freeze so
easily as single combs. The veriest
tyro in poultry keeping knows that
frozen combs have a serious effect on
fowls and generally interfere with
laying. In beauty of feather. this
breed stands without rival. The
gorgeous combination of rich cherry
and glossy greenish black of the
males, and the exquisite penciling of
black on the rich mahogany of the
females, have no equal from an ar

protection.
Ventilate daily hotbeds and cold

lifting the sash a trifle, but do not

should be put back tight and snug

Lawns that did poorly last year
will be helped now by dressing of

By this time the poultry keeper
should have his breeding pens all
mated up, the surplus stock all dis
posed of and everything in readiness
for the new season.
Incubators should be overhauled
and made ready for operation, and
the breeders should also be cleaned
and repaired. 1t is a wise plan to
disinfect brooders thoroughly before
the new chicks are put into them.
Experienced poultry men do not
consider eggs ready for Matching

been arranged and the chickens have
been together for at least two weeks.
Three weeks is better.
