Just seventy-six years ago there was crossing the Atlantic the first vessel to do so under her own steam. says Lon don special, to the New York Times. She was the Sirius, leigh-built, schooner rigged steamer of only 4l2 tons burden. Of that memorable voyage there Is only one survivor He is the Rev Vincent F. Ransome, the S0-ysar old rector of parish in Wiltshire Consequently he was child years of age when he made the trip.
 The Sirius was IFS feet over ali With a beam of 9 feet and depth of IS feet. Her starting point was London. which in those days gave every promise of being n great western oceanic terminus, She left London on March sS and proceeded to Cork to take on board her final passen- gers, but so rough was the sea in tae channel that several of the passengers who had come on board in the Thames left the vessel at the Irish port, thereby forfeiting their passage money.
 Consequently, when the Sirius steamed out of Cork harbor. on April 1. 1888, there were only seven first-cass passengers. in- cluding Vincent F. Rausome, his father. sister and elder brother From Mir Ran some's narrative of the voyage, which he is writing with view of publication, the following extract is taken:

 When We began our voyage upon the Sirius she was laden almost down 10 the waters edge, most of her coal being on deck. We had nothing but rough weather. and as she was but sort of skiff on the water you may imagine that there was many unpleasant and trying experiences.
 When about a fortnight out fuel began to run short, and all spare yards and woodwork had to be sacrificed to feed the furnace. Resin had to be taken from the cargo This was mixed with the coal ashes, and so the steam was kept up. Toward the end of this voyage of 19 days We had startling incident, for We ran aground at Sandy Hook a few hours before entering New York harhor. It was still, quiet night and the tide was row When 1t rose they backed the paddles and got the steamer off. and she glided into her berth not long before the Great Western the delay nearly losing her the palm of fse first steam voyage across the Atlantie.'

period of careful work a strain of buff Rocks was produced which bred well to type and deserved recognition from the poultry fraternity.
 The other early strain was brought into being by Mrs. J. D. Wilson of New York, whose original cross was Buff Cochin and Light Brahma.
 It is probable that in the hands of many breeders these two strains were soon com bined. Also, that in many cases Plym- outh Rock blood was introduced through the use of White Rock females.
 This variety received the official seal of the poultry fraternity in 1894. when it was admitted to the Standard of Perfec- ton. Since that time 1t has steadily gained in uniformity of quality and in public favor.
 The ideal Buff Plymouth Rock has pre- cisely the same type as the older va rieties of the breed. The color should be warm rich, even shade of golden buff throughout free from foreign color meanliness of shafting. Different shades of buff in the various sections is unde- srable.

The Buff Plymouth Rock stands as an example of the remarkable results which may be secured by the painsteaking and intelligent work of the breeder in the mating and selection of our domestic fowls. For here is variety of the Plym- outh Rock family, one which carries the essential breed characteristics to a mark ed degree, yet actually having but little. if any Plymouth Rock blood in it's origi- nal makeup.
 Originally, there were two distinct strains of Buff Rocks brought out by in- dependent breeders; the Wilson and the Buffinton.
 The latter was originated by Mrs. A. G. Buffinton, of Massachusetts. It was pro- duced by selecting and breeding together specimens of fowls having Plymouth Rock shape and buff plumage These came from the farm flocks which later fur nished the foundation upon which the Rhode Island Red was built.

 Poultrymen generally feel that their chicks are well past the danger point when they are old enough to transfer from hens and breeders to the colony coops. But those who then relax their attention. who fail to give the young sters untiring care during the entire growing period, may fall short of se- curing the satisfactory results which they anticipate.
