PLYMOUTH ROCK POULTRY
Greatest Recommendation on Farm is
Excellent Growth Made by the
Young Chickens.

The American breeds of poultry
have been made by the mixing of Ash
attic and Mediterranean, or non-setting
breeds of fouls. They have been form
cd to meet the demand for a general
purpose chicken, and they fulfill this
demand better than any breed thus
far considered. These breeds are more
variable in traits than breeds with
more years Of uniform ancestry to
their credit. If strict selection is not
maintained the American varieties are
inclined to vary and revert to ances-
trail types. This would at first seem
& disadvantage, but in the hands of a
careful breeder this tendency to vary
may be turned into good account in
improving the breed.
The barred variety o. the Plymouth
Rock is the original Plymouth Rock,
and is, perhaps, all things considered,
the most popular breed in this country
at the present time. It's origin is Conf
monty given as a cross between the
black Java and the American Denim
ique. Besides the Java other Asiatic
blood has probably been Used in max
ing the breed. The Plymouth Rock is
more like the Asiatic than like the
European chicken. 1t approaches in
size and fattening qualities the Cochin
or Brahma, but has lost the excessive
feathering, slowness of growth, and
general clumsincss of those breeds.
The greatest recommendation for the
Plymouth Rock on the farm is the ex-
cellent growth made by the young
chickens. In this quality they have no
superior. The Plymouth Rock pullets
are good layers, but IS yearling hens
are prone to turn the feed into fat
rather than eggs. Another objection
to the barred variety is the difficulty
in keeping the breed true to the STAN
dard type. The pure-bred birds are re-
quired to have even and distinct bars
of the same shade in male and female.
These are difficult points to maintain,
and resort is often made to double
mating or the keeping of two breeding
pens, one to produce cockerels and the
other bullets.
The white and buff Plymouth Rocks
are later products than the barred va
riety. Much of what has been said
will apply to these also. The follow
ing differences might be noted:
The white variety is free from the
color objection to the fattening ten
dency applies to hens of this variety
perhaps more forcibly than to the bar
red. Buff Plymouth Rocks will pro-
baby average smaller than the other
varieties of the breed. Although a

SONG BIRDS ARE BACK;
SPRING is ON THE WAY
Ground Hog Predicted Winter Was
Over and Arrival of MOcking Birds
Indicates Flowers Win Soon
Bloom.

Song birds that are real harbingers
of spring have returned from the
Southland and are making the west
end glad with songs these mornings.
Mocking birds perch on almost
every housetop and greet the sunrise
by initiating the cardinal red bird, the
jay, the crow and the thrush.
More than a dozen bluebirds chirped
on the hedge at William street and
Louisiana avenue yesterday morning.
Homegrown weather prophets say
the return of these birds indicates that
the worst of winter is over. They also
contend that the ground hogs predic-
ton Feb. 2 came true. The day for
that beast to emerge from its hole in
the hill was cloudy, preventing him
seeing his shadow. This was an indi-
cation, according to the tradition, that
winter had vanished.
The day following old Sol came out
from behind the clouds and shone in
full glory. The next day was clear
and for two weeks hardly cloud was
noticed. Then the rain came, which
was followed by more sunshine.
And now the birds are here. Robins,
redbirds, bluebirds, Knockers, and even
a Jenny wren has been seen.

FIRE IN WHITELAW CELLAR

yesterday morning at 5 o'clock, and
was discovered by Mrs. Carmack, who
was awakened by the odor of burning
wood.
She hurried to the basement where
she found that a partition had caught
fire from embers that had been drawn
from the furnace. She rushed to the
top of the steps and called her father
who came down and extinguished the
blaze by the use of a hose which he
keeps on the premises for such emer-
gencies.
The fire was quickly subdued and
the damage to the property was slight.
