BRIEF STUDY OF
THE POULTRY BREEDS

We have breeds for all purposes
summer eggs, winter eggs, broilers,
%roasters and general purposes, writes
M. X. Boyer in the American Cultiva-
tor. We have heavy egg records with
the nonsitting breeds, but the bulk of
their production is in spring, summer
and early fall Unless under very ia
vorable circumstances, they are but or
binary layers during the winter. Our
winter laying breeds are Of the broody
class, and they give comparatively
few eggs during the warm season Of
the year. Much Of their time is taken
In incubating. Then We have q class
that are better adapted for broiler
raising than for roasting purposes. On
the other hand. w have breeds that
make better roasters than b~roilers.
Again, we have general purpose fowls
reasonably we'll adapted for all that
n could wish for in poultry.
To become plain, the summer
layers are the Leghorns. Minorcas, An
dalusians, Spanish. Hamburgs, Polish
and Houdans. The winter layers are
the Asiatics (Brahmas. Cochins and
Langshans) and the Americans Ply-
mouth Rocks. Wyandottes and Rhode
Island Reds). The best for broilers-
the Wyandottes, Plymouth Rocks or
the Rhode Island Reds. The best for
roasters-the Brahmas or Langshans.
We admit that in this choice we may
find opposition by champions Of other
breeds. But we are honest in our decla.
ration, as we speak only from the ex-
p%er1ence we have had with the breeds.
1t Is a mistake to keep more than
three varieties; two would be better,

There are many legends concerning

Romans the god Mercury was credited
with the invention OF music. Accord.

follows: The Nile after an overflow

flesh was finally dried 10 by the hot
sun, so that nothing remained In the

POULTRY GOSSIP.

The lousy hen is the one that
always catches cold and finally
comes down with the roup.
Hens will produce nearly twice
as many eggs If fed upon milk
than If otherwise fed.
January Is the month In which
most poultrymen mate up their
focks for the coming breeding
season.
During cold weather the eggs
should be gathered several times
a day, as they very readily chill
and crack. Eggs for Matching
should be kent in a temperature
Of not less than 30 degrees.
Separate all the ailing birds
from the well ones, keeping the
former in warm and dry quar-
tiers while undergoing treatment.
Increase the quantity of corn
In the night ration, especially
during very cold weather.

Hold Tools on Grindstone.

When grinding tools by simply hold
ing them with the hands against the
stone frequent changes of angle will
cause much extra labor and result In
a poor Job. The Scientific American
illustrates a simple device to hold tools
at a constant angle while grinding,
which can easily be made and attached
to the grinding stone as follows:
Screw on each side Of the base of
the grinding stone a wooden arm as
pictured in the drawing. These arms

WORDS THAT ARE Accused.

The Yezidees, a peculiar Turkish

the fuldllment of which will insure
him a place In paradise.
In a like manner several letters are
wholly banished from their language,
chiefly those which contain the sound
Of ''shun." The Arabian word ''nallet,'
Thou art damned" is also expunged
because it is believed by the Yezidees
to have been the word uttered by God
when the fallen angels were thrown
into hell.
These and similar words and phrases
are set aside and combinations which

HI COUNTY ADVISER.

Ss Wv
Which Has Spread In Many States.
The past three years has seen the be-
ginning and the development of the
county farm bureau movement in the
United States. Ever since the fOunda.
tion of agricultural colleges and the
United States department Of agricul.
ture there has been q constantly in.
creasing desire OF the part Of all
classes of people interested to get be.
fore the country as u whole the best
agricultural information obtainable In
a concrete way.
At this time there are 313 counties in
the United States, each organized with
a paid county agent or adviser at the
head Of 1t. His work embraces silos,
crops, live stock, cultural and tillage
methods, better roads and is now found
to be reaching out into the schools
where agriculture is taught and intro
ducing it into those where it is not
taught, and into the question Of mar
kets and credits. In short, the move
ment has become an agricultural COM
merc1al club for each county to broad
en- its scope in every way.
Sixteen states in the Union, Indiana.
Wisconsin, New York, Minnesota.
Michigan, North Dakota, New jersey,
Ohio, Utah. Oregon. Washington, Yer
mont, Colorado, Idaho, Montana and
Illinois, have already consented to let
the county supervisors appropriate
money for the use of the county farm
bureau or development association.
The county adviser is always on the
job. He not only visits the different
farms in his county during the spring,
summer and fall, but gives lectures
during the winter and answers all let
tiers sent him. He brings to the coun-
ty in concrete shape all the scientific
facts that have so long been bottled
up in our colleges and experiment sta
tons, which have by no lean been
put to general use. Through the local
clubs every one finds out how the best
farmers Of each community are con
Quoting such phases Of their work, and
consequently there IS a tremendous
tendency to adopt these good ways by
committees, and thus great results
soon become apparent.
Strange as it may seem, the smallest
part Of the county farm agents work
is advisory. The farmers resent the
adviser idea, and justly. No class Of
people likes to be the subject of def
mite uplift work, but the first problems
to be solved in rural communities are
those Of organization and team work.
For instance. it requires the COOP
Grafton of a neighborhood to adopt
single varieties Of grain and standard
lie the product Of the community so
that it can be offered in sufficient
quantity to demand better prices. Hog
cholera cannot be eradicated unless
the community works together in re-
porting the disease SO that serum may
be promptly administered, and such
sanitary precautions taken as are nee
essary to prevent it from spreading.
One man cannot drag the roads contin-
ually. An individual farmer can hard
ly be expected to keep his place free
from weeds if his neighbors allow the
same weeds to mature just across the
fence. Smut cannot be e~radicated
from one farm If winds from sur
rounding fields blow across that place,
carrying the disease spores.

NOT ENOUGH CHILDREN

nature's demands are greater than In

Eaa Laying Tendencies.

An important fact that should be
borne in mind is that the tendency, to-
ward laying Is more often inherited
through the SON Of a heavy layer than
through her daughters. and while the
daughters Of a great egg producer are
valuable, the ons are nor valuable.
This is especially true in that a cock"
erel can influence the offspring Of a
dozen females, thus increasing his in
