FOWLS THAT ARE SUITABLE
FOR THE FARM.
Old Farmer Says Plymouth Rocks
and Wyandottes Are Good.

Many farmers have hobbies and pet
theories which sometimes bring them
plenty of experience" but as a rule
they look at everything along utility
lines, says. Farm News. Some farm
ers have been looking for the best
farmers fowls, have bred almost all
breeds in existence, and yet have to
confess to failure along these lines.
At times he thinks that he has the
best bird cornered only to find that
it is still at large A buzz-saw is all
right for the purpose for which it was
| intended, but it can't be used for shaw
irg mans beard. All these things
are very practical in their way, but
making them answer for all purposes
is very much like corralling cyclone,
something no man has succeeded in
doing
One person wants fowls for the pro-
duction of eggs, and, therefore, will
want the breed whose hens prove to
be the best layers. Another wants
the best table fowl, and an entirely
different breed will be selected. The
third man wants fowl with a GER
tain fancy feather and pays a fancy
price for it. A farmer living several
miles from town cares very little for
fowls of any particular kind, yet he
will admit that they are an unfailing
source of supply in case of emergency
in supplying the table, buying the
groceries and keeping him out of
debt for long intervals.
The farmers flock should be pro-
life. without sacrificing other qualities
| They should be good table fowls. To
satisfy the requirement they must be
of good size, plump and of good ap-
pearance when dressed They must
be hardy and good foragers, as there
is much waste food on the farm that
can be converted into cash returns by
! the fowls. The hens must be good
/ sitters and mothers, as many farmers
are not ready to buy incubators-al
! though they should do so at once
| These are questions that are being
studied by the careful, and each in
! dividual will have to determine the
matter for himself An old farmer
who is now off the active list, but still
lives on the farm and raises poultry
as a diversion says he visited many
poultry shows just to inspect some
of the best birds of the new varieties,
and he says that he has never seen
anything better than the Plymouth
Rock and Wyandotte varieties for real
business stock He said: 'You can
tell inquirers that these two breeds
are still at the top, and there are
enough varieties OF them to please
any sensible person. AS to individual
taste. the old Indian said if men were
all alike they would all want his
squaw."
So many varieties of chickens have
been evolved that it seems as if there
should b nothing left to be sought
or desired in the way of beauty or
utility.

FOR RAISING Better POULTRY
STOCK.
Keeping Birds Healthy and Improving
Stock is the Right Method.

In raising stock or poultry it should
be the aim of everyone to keep it
healthy and improve it. You can do it
very easily by adopting systematic
rules. These may be summed up in
brief as follows:
Construct your houses good and
warm, so as to avoid. damp floors and
afford a food of sunshine Sunshine
is better than medicine
Provide yourself with some good
place where you can bury the grain
and thus induce the fowls to take the
needful exercise.
Provide yourself with some gold,
healthy fowls, never to be over three
wears old, giving one cock to every
II hens.
Give plenty of fresh air at all times,
especially in summer.
Give plenty of fresh water daily, and
never allow the fowls to go thirsty.
Feed them Systematically two or
three times day. Scatter the food SO
they cannot eat it too fast or without
proper exercise. Do not feed more
than they will eat up clean, or they
will get tired of that kind OF feed.
Give them a variety of both dry and
cooked feed. A mixture of cooked
meat and vegetables is good for a
morning meal.
Give soft feed in the morning and
the whole grain at night, except lit
tie wheat and cracked corn placed in
the scratching pens to give them ex-
ercise during the day.
Avove all things, keep the house
clean and ventilated.
Do not crowd too many into one
house. If you do, look out for dis
ease.
Keep the house. nests, etc, sprayed
with some good disinfectant, in or
der to keep down the lice and mites.
Wash your roosts and bottom OF
laying nests. and whitewash once a
week in summer and once a month in
winter.
Let the old and young have as large
a range as possible, the larger the
better.
Do not breed too many kinds OF
fowls at the same time. Better have
one breed and understand it.
Introduce new blood into your stock
every year or so, by either buying a
cockerel or setting of eggs from
some / eliable breeder.

Beware Of Bogus Seed.

Farmers are warned to buy their
seed from reliable seed houses, and
beware of the transient, unknown
seedsmen who undertake to exploit
brand new varieties" The Depart
ment OF Agriculture has been making
some tests of some of these alleged
new varieties of seed
For example, there is a seed adver-
tised now as the Shahon bean, which,
IT is claimed. has produced 20 tons of
hay and $50 bushels of seed off of
3H acres. The Department OF Ag-
riculture declares that this is properly
known as the Asparagus bean, or Yard
Long bean and is close relative of the
cowpea, and is not as good as the well
known better varieties of cowpeas as a
forage crop. Its stems are more
slender and the long pods which lie
on the ground can not be harvested
by machinery. And it is not as pro
ductive either in heritage or in pod as
the cowpea.
1t is named the Asparagus Bean be
cause when they are very young the
green pods, cooked as vegetable,
have somewhat the flavor of aspara-
gus. It may be developed as desir-
able vegetable. but not as a forage
crop, but it certainly does not justify
the sensational advertising nor the
extravagant price at which it is sold,
IS pound The same seed is sold
in France for rs cents pound.
The Department of Agriculture also
warns against the Jack Bean, some
times advertised as the Giant Stock
Pod bean, or the Wakaka bean. and
the seed sold at SIS a bushel. This
bean produces enormous crops per
acre. but live stock will not eat the
beans and neither will anybody else
at least not outside of Boston.-N. w.

How TO Know Garden Soil.

Garden soil should not run togeth-
err" after heavy rains nor bake" when
exposed to the hot sun short time
after rains when not cultivated
promptly. If your garden soil has a
tendency to do this it lacks humus,
vegetable matter.-Farm and Ranch.

"Horse Hash" Folly.

That it is folly for horse breeders to
repeatedly cross breed their horses
creating what may be called horse
hash" was the declaration made by
DR.. A. S. Alexander. of the College of
Agriculture of the University of Wis
consin in a recent address.

Breeding Draft Animals.

The breeding of heavy draft horses
is one OF the most profitable branches
OF live stock farming. Few farmers
realize the importance of size in a
draft horse, when put on the market
either in public or private sale. A
horse that weighs less than l,5OO
pounds is not considered draft horse
in any of the horse markets of the
country, yet the mares kept on the
ordinary farms are usually lighter
than that. This accounts for the
small, scrubby lot of horses that are
constantly being put on the market
at loss to the breeder.
A few choice lambs make suitable

STUDENTS TO
Have PARADE

The agricultural college students,
headed by the Cadet band, will have a
big parade on Broadway tonight as
this is student night of the Flying
Squadron at the Methodist church.
The students will attend the meeting
in body.
The parade will form at the entrance
to college grounds and will march
down Broadway to Front street and
thence to the church. The band will
play the entire distance and there will
be number of floats and automobiles
decorated for the occasion.
The parade has been entered into
with the usual enthusiasm OF the col
lege student and no effort will be
spared to make it unique as we'll as
surprising. In other words, 1t will be
hummer.

Chicago. Nov With the remote
down state precincts reporting slowly.
Lawrence Y. Sherman, republican
candidate of the United States senate
cut down the $4,000 plurality rolled UP
for Roger Sullivan by Chicago. Re-
ports from 1882 Of the 2.788 precincts
outside Of Cook county gave Sherman
227,101 and Sullivan 176,40S, leaving
the democratic candidate a net
plurality of 5,s02 from the Chicago adj
vantage. If the republican candidate
maintain the same average plurality
IN each Of the 536 remaining down
state precincts it would give him q
down state plurality Of 62,270 votes
and a net plurality and victory by b.
go votes
AT the Sullivan headquarters, how
ever, it was asserted that the extreme
southern countries from which reports
usually are very slow would turn the
tide in Sullivan's favor, just as they
did for President Wilson two years
age. when early indications were thai
Roosevelt had carried the state.
In the congressional fights the re-
publicans made decided gains, re-
turning Joseph @. Cannon, former
speaker Of the house. in the Eighteenth
district: william B. Mckinley In the

official expected to receive today from
Great Britain and France a formal no.
tification of the existence of a state of
war with Turkey. The severing of
diplomatic relations at London and
Bordeaux, where the Turkish ambassa-
dors respectively were handed their
passports, was regarded as the last
chapter of futile attempt on the part
of the conservative members of the
Ottoman cabinet ito avert war,
President Wilson has hesitated to is
sue proclamation of neutrality until
the situation became more definite. A
notification by the powers of the Triple
Entente of the existence of q state or
war with Turkey is now expected as a

statement at Petrograd that Russian
troops have crossed the Turkish from
