A PURPOSE AND BREED TO FIT.

"A PURPOSE AND BREED TO FIT.
Many persons start out in the spring
to raise poultry for a definite purpose
and miss the mark because their stock
has not the ability to do the stunt.
Let it be remembered that American
thoroughbred poultry is built for bust
ness; that certain breeds tit certain
/ lines and of course are a failure out
side their sphere.
For instance, Brahmas, COchins and
Langshans are in particular meat
breeds.
Rocks, Dottes and Reds are in par
tcular dual purpose breeds-that is,
they furnish good quantity Of meat
and fair quantity Of eggs.
Leghorns, Anconas and their type
are egg machines, the race horse lay
ers, but not much for market meat
There are over 100 varieties in the
American standard-meGt, dual pur-
pose. egg breeds and ornamental-and
the breeder must select a variety that's
a specialist for his purpose or he
fails.
COchins and Brahmas are no fowl
for winter egg plants. but Leghorns
are
Anconas and Andalusians are poor
for brollers. but Dottes and Reds hit
the spot
Leghorns and Hamburgs are mighty
poor for r0asters and capons, but
Brahmas, Rocks, Dottes. Cornish and
DOrkings are bon ton.
Those who have succeeded in the
poultry business started with a def
mite purpose and bred breed to fit the
purpose, and that is the only way to
get there.

A journey through the country

The poultry profession is one Of the

hardest workers in creation and pro

bungle the job.
Fresh air is one Of the essentials
to hen health, and the fellow who
shuts his hens up in a sweat box in

4. 5. WARNS AGAINST ALLEGED
HpG CHOLERA CURES
Government Has Not Approved Any
Treatment Except the Protective
serum

Washington, d G.. June ? Eyi.
dcuce Of what appears 10 be a well or
ganiied campaign to dciude farmers
Throughout, the country into buying
an alleged cure for hog cholera, under
the impression that this has been in
yestigated and approved by the Unit
ed States Government, has reached
the Department of Agriculture. Ar.
ticles praising the medicine, Benetol
by name, are being sent out wide
spread 20 newspapers. These articles
are so worded that Il appears as Il
the Department Of Agriculture had
received reports from the state Of
Minnesota showing that the medicine
had proved most beneficial. As a
matter OF fact the one report reeeiv-
ed by the Department was an unofficial
and unsolicited statement sent pre-
sumably from the promoters them
selves, The Department attaches no
Importance whatsoever to this state
ment, II has no reason to believe in
the efficiency Of any proprietary cure
for hog cholera and does not recon-
mend any Under certain conditions
it urges farmers TO protect their
stock with anti-hog-cholera serum
but that is ALL
In connection with this attempt il
may be said that the medicine, which
is now put forward rs good for hogs,
was advertised some time ago as a
means of killing tuberculosis, typhoid,
and cancer germs, according to an ar
ticle published in the Journal Of the
American Medical Association. AT
that time it was asserted that the
Army was interested in il. As a mat
ter of fact the Army was no more in
terested then than the Department of
Agriculture is now.
In view of the evidence that the at
tempt to create this false impression
is persistent and widespread, all hog
owners are warned to communicate
with the United States authorities be
fore accepting as true any statement
that the Government recommends any
treatment other than the serum al
ready mentioned.

PROPOSED GRANGE RALLY

Worthy Masters and Members Of
Bennington County Oranges.
The Bennington County Vermont
Improvement Association proposes to
hold in the fall an exhibition of espec-
ial interest to farmers, and in which
farmers are particularly urged to
participate for the liberal prizes offer
ed. Would it not be a fine idea for
the Oranges of the County and those
nearby to hold Grange Fair or Rally
at the same time? ! feel sure the
Improvement Association would be de-
lighted to do all it could to further
such a meeting.
Provided enough Oranges interest
ed themselves in the matter we could
have the biggest and finest in the his
tory of the local Oranges, second only
to the State meetings.
As a suggestion, would say the
different Oranges could hold all their
candidates they take in in the early
fall or even this summer and not work
the 3rd and 4th degrees on them, but
have them come to the rally and all
Oranges go in to joint meeting late
that afternoon, say at 5 o'clock, work
the degrees and have harvest sup
per at about Z o'clock and a dance
afterwards. Prominent Grangers
would be only too glad TO appear and
take part in the affair and we in Man
chester can promise to furnish a ste
ward TO take charge Of the refresh
ments second to none in the State.
An affair Of this kind would be com
paratively inexpensive and need not
be burdensome for any one Grange,
provided each will do its share and
without doubt would be the red letter
day Of the Grange year.
Will not the Grangers seeing this
take the matter up in the next meet
ing Of the Grange and at least talk
II over, so that when fall comes we
will be ready TO make plans, If the
Oranges are favorably impressed, or
rather enough Of them are for such
meeting and get things started SO
there will be no hitch or rush at the
last.
Remember the Improvement Asso-
citation Exhibit comes at time Of the
year when work on the farm is some
what slack, and there is no reason
Why the Patrons should not be able 4
10 afford holiday at this time and
have profitable and enjoyable time.
