Single-comb Buff Orpingtons recon-
mend themselves to the earnest breed
er as the best all-around fowl known
First let me begin with their great
utility purposes, which are not widely
known.
To the average breeder with small
plant think that full understanding
of these qualities will greatly enhance
the value Of the Buff Orpingtons.
The Buff Orpington will lay from
1876 to ITS eggs season, and record
of 230 eggs year has been made.
The Buff Orpington lays well in the
coolest weather, feature that makes
a strong reason why this breed is the
best to keep. Buff Orpington chicks
grow to broiler size quickly, and If
carefully cared for should weigh two
pounds each at twelve weeks old. Soft
roasters of six pounds weight will
be ready for the market at the end
of four and half to five months, and
mature roasters will reach an eight.
pound weight.
The Buff Orpington capon has no
equal. It Will weigh 10 to u pounds,
and the demand is always large and
the price high
Pullets will start to lay at four to
four and one-half months of age, and
are not stopped by sudden changes In
weather
1t Is generally known that the Buff
Orpington Is the only breed that will
lay during mott, another strong reason
why the Buff Orpington is the best
and most profitable breed to own and
maintain. AS showroom breed the
Buff Orpingtons are always in favor.
No exhibition is without q large dis
play of them and the past season has
shown this breed to be the largest
classes.
Certainly no fowl Is capable OF more
than this very popular breed. Easy to
keep, fascinating to care for, respon-
i've to particular attentions and q
color that Is beautiful make the sim
gle-comb Buff Orpington much
sought-after bird, and very high prices
for good specimens are not unusual.
No one need fall In the poultry bust
ness If careful, intelligent, systematic
and businesslike principles are ap-
piled to flock OF Buff Orpingtons.
It is fairly easy matter for even
the amateur to get a good hatch with
any Of the standard machines, but
bringing off the hatch is only the be- |
ginning OF the chicken business.
Often with the best of care the chicks
will begin to die apparently without |
cause, and in spite of all the doctor

A short time ago a Wisconsin poul-
tryman shipped Is dozen eggs to a
customer In Onondaga county, New
York. Just one-half, or 100 Of the
eggs, were broken in transit, the loss
being due to poor packing or care
less handling, James G. Halpin of
the Wisconsin college of agriculture
makes the following suggestions to
merchants and farmers who ship eggs:
Use only sound, strong, new cases
and new lids. Filters that have once
been used may have their ears, as
the little projections that keep the
eggs from the sides Of the box are
called, bent or weakened, so that the
egg may hit the box when it is Jared
or moved.
Do not pack eggs which are already
cracked in the case. Establish an In.
spection system in your Gambling and
packing room, and see to it that the

eggs are In perfect condition before
the box is sealed
Handle the cases carefully. See
that the car is In good repair with
the drain pipes clear. When water
from the refrigerator stands in the
car, 1t washes away the outer coating
OF the eggs, and allows air and bac-
terra to enter.
Brace the load In the car to prevent
shifting. Never put a layer of cases
on top Of the load without bracing it
IN some way. If any brace looks
frail, make it stronger. Take no
chances with the shifting of the load
IN the car.
lamp the straw hard between the
cases and the car walls. When the
straw is put in loosely, it soon be-
comes compressed into smaller space,
giving the load room to shift and work
loose from the bracing.

DOUBLE ROW PLAN in FAVOR
Celery Plants Grew With Unusual
Nigor and Averaged Larger Than
Those Set In Single Rows.

Last summer instead of planting
our celery In single rows as hereto
fore, we planted double rows, says a
writer in an exchange. The ground
is upland. and was in fairly good con-
dition, crop Of early potatoes having
already been harvested. 1t was not
replowed, but was we'll narrowed and
leveled.
The rows where the celery was to
be set were spaded, two spades wide.
The upper soil was thrown to one
side and well-rotted manure, supple
mented with complete fertilizer, was
used in the row. This was we'll raked
in with the pronged hoe, the soil that
was thrown out was returned and the
plot leveled.
The plants were set by line, in
double rows six inches apart and the
plants six inches apart In the row.
The double rows were four feet apart.
The plants grew with unusual vigor
and averaged larger than those set
In single rows, and better than any
we have ever grown under the single
row system. The advantage lies in
the saving of labor in banking, and In
economy OF space, as more plants can
be grown on the same land.

GETS B0ARS INTO CONDITION
Where Animals Have Been Permitted
to Get Too Fat Some Breeders
Walk Them Before Feeding.

A boar that is put into show con-
dition or permitted to get too fat often
fails as a breeder and after being re-
duced in flesh is still unreliable and
uncertain. American Swineherd tells
how some breeders handle their hogs
to get them in good shape after they
are too fat or have come back from
the fairs. Several walk them a mile
or two miles, sometimes in the morn.
ing before feeding them, and have
very little corn in the ration.
One herdsman purchased two we'll
known boars that either on account Of
shipment or too frequent usage he
fore refused to breed. The first one
he put in an 5 by 16 foot stall, then
permitted no one to annoy or strike
him. He cut down his feed and let
a sow run around near the pen. In
six or eight weeks he had spirited up
until the herdsman was the only one
who could handle him and he always
used hurdle, on the ground that a
boar should never be Ill treated. Re-
suits were so good that the same plan
was followed when the second boar
came. In each case both animals
turned out first-class breeders after
ward.

PLACE FOR SEED CORN
One of Most Important Factors in
Increasing Yield.
Three Necessary Conditions for stor-
ing-Alr Circulation to Carry of
Moisture, Even Temperature
and Early Selection.

After time has been spent selecting
seed corn, 1t would be folly to store 1t
in a place where 1t would not keep.
Freshly gathered seed corn should not
be left In piles in a warm room, or on
the floor 1t will either sprout, mold
or do both. Always store seed corn
where there is a good circulation of
air. so it will dry out quickly. Never
leave it in boxes, in piles, on the
porch or In the barn. II should be
taken care Of at once.
Theirs are only three necessary con-
ditions for storing seed corn; and, If
these are followed, one may be rea-
sonably sure that 95 per cent or more
of his corn will terminate, provided
1t was properly matured. First, there
must be a good circulation of air
about each ear, to carry away the sur
plus moisture. Second, temperature
must be maintained above freezing
until the seed is thoroughly dry.
Third, seed corn must be selected
early enough so that it may have
plenty of time to dry before cold
weather.
Many devices, easily and cheaply
built, are now in use whereby circu-
lation of air can be secured around
each ear of corn. Four very desirable
methods of storing seed corn on the
farm are here suggested. A frame OF

MUST GULL PULLETS FREELY
Fowls, to BE Profitable, Should Reach,
Laying Maturity Before Severe
Weather Sets In.

The farmer who would increase the
profits Of his flock must Gull his pull
lets vigorously. One reason why fowls
are Improbable during the fall and
winter months is that too many runty,
weak and undeveloped pullets are win
tered. To be profitable, the pullets
should reach laying maturity before
settled cold weather begins. II they
are not fully matured before cold
weather they will rarely lay until
spring.
The pullet that begins to lay in the
fall may be depended on to be good
all-year-round layer, and IL no protit
is realized from the flock during the
fall and winter months, 1t is because
the fully-matured, laying pullets have
to support too many drones-old hens
and immature pullets.
ALI pullets that lag behind those of
the same age in growth. should be
marketed as soon as possible.

To see The Wind.

With the aid of an ordinary hand
saw this seeming impossibility may.
to q certain extent, be achieved.
Wait for an exceptionally breezy
day, and then hold your handsaw at
right angles to the wind. That is to
say, II the wind Is blowing north.

With its teeth uppermost. the saw
should be tipped slowly away from
the wind at an angle of about IS de-
grees. BY glancing along the edge
Of the teeth you are able to see the
wind. It Is pouring over the edge
much after the manner Of water over

In all probability this effect is
caused by the tiny particles in the
dust-laden air falling over the edge
Of the saw. This is Just about as near
as you can arrive at seeing the wind

Medical Men Are Coming TO Believe

According to the Medical Record
the time is approaching when odors

The digestive apparatus Is strongly

are given OF the action OF odors. For
example, severe faintness Is some
times observed to overcome persons
