Beguile me down the old farm lane.
Where the slow moving cattle 60
At dewfall in the afterglow.
When dreamily there drifts across
The pastures wrapped in amber glass.
The milking cry: Co boss! Co bossV'
Here sumachs show their cleaning IRE
Above the purple aster spire;
And here, like embers in an urn.
The bending barberries blush and burn;
While from the opened milkweed pod
Drift snowy sails, and DER the sod
Lift torches Of the goldenrod.
The air is soft, the air Is sweet;
The bygone lure Of truant feet
Calls as it did in distant days
When all the world was hung with
haze,
The haze Of youth, and dreams were
fain,
And filled with glories that remain
A halo round the old farm lane!

taking place at the contests. Some
breeders that have always been In
favor are showing up pretty poorly
even under the best of conditions.
Records of Contests.
The records of these contests are
published all over the United States.
The birds that show up badly are
going to damage their particular
breed. One of the only hopes to
save them from setback that would
require years to recreate any inter-
est in them whatever will be to stim-
ulate action among these breeders at
once.
The leading breeders in the East
are doing their best to improve their
flocks. Now is the time they must
do it while the experimental work is
in its infancy. Were they to wait
until some particular breed had
gained a decided supremacy the
handicap would be too large. AS 1t
is some breed wins this months rec
ord, another has laid the most eggs
during the coolest spell, another had
the least sickness, another the least
deaths, another consumed the least
feed, and so on down the line. There
are enough records to reach every
deserving one. The one that laid the
most eggs for the year may not have
laid the most when egg values were
the highest.
Egg Value Counts.
The actual egg value for the year
is what counts more than anything
else. No breed so far has claimed
all the records, not even half Of
them.
We firmly believe that the bust
ness hen of the future will be the
ones that are developed at this time,
and that your particular breed will
be out of the running If 1t is not be-
ing backed by some big reliable
breeder or breeders who can make a
substantial showing OF Its merits and
prove that it Is entitled to a seat at
the top with the best of them. With
out a question the bulk Of the poul-
try business will be done with five
or less breeds in the very near flu
ture.
Is it any wonder we ask: (Which
breeds will survive?"

upon; when flying from the roosts
it keeps their feet from getting hurt.
The best cure for gapes Is preven-
ton. Plow up the land before put
ting the young chicks on 1t; 1t is a
good prevention.
The poultry business Is a paying
proposition If you do your part.
The secret of success with poultry
Is in having something to sell the
year around A dozen fresh eggs,
dressed fowl, breeding fowl or
Matching eggs, small but. steady In
come Is what insures success.

Poultry Pointers.

Early to bed, early to rise may be
be wise, but 1t isn't necessary II your
chickens find the feed hoppers open
at daylight.
Moist mashes will start the pullets
laying earlier. Keep dry mash before
them all day and feed grain late in
the afternoon only.
Bury the dead ones deep-dont
give the disease chance to spread.
Keeping the we'll chickens we'll is
easier than trying to cure sick ones.
Clean grain, free from mold, Is as
necessary as disease-free water.
A little close watching windy
weather will give you line on the
aim OF the disease enemy, helping
prevent Mr.. Roup getting the range
OF your first line of defense.
Oats make fine morning feed for
your old fowls, this time Of the year;
hens won't get too fat on oats.
A good remedy for. scaly leg Is

phur, apply twice a week. rubbing 1t

Don't forget that the hens need
some green food.
Don't let the little chicks out In
the wet grass until they are well
feathered out.
Remember that hens like a change
OF feed. Oats, wheat, barley and
cracked corn makes good Summer
ration.
Skim milk is an excellent food for
the fowls.
High roosts are generally the
cause of humble foot. A little chaff
is a fine thing for the birds to fly

Valuable Hints
for Poultrymen

nR. c. A. CARY, of the Alabama
" College station, gives some ex-
cellent advice to those engaged in the
poultry business either on large or
small scale. In the. Alabama College
Bulletin, No. 1876, he makes the fol-
lowing suggestions for the elimina-
tion of some poultry troubles:
For Intestinal Worms.
/. Isolate infected birds and de-
stroy or disinfect their droppings
while being treated.
2. Put one or two drains Of copper
of sulphate in each gallon of drink
ing water for one week; or
8. Powdered pomegranate root
bark, followed by two or three table
spoonfuls of castor oil; or
4. Oil of turpentine, one to two
teaspoonfuls, followed in four to
six hours with castor oil.
s. Powdered santonin in five to

NN1ASHINGTON has today poultry

"4ASHlNGlO lON has lUudy pOultIy
NJ in quantity-good poultry in
" quantity, and progressive
poultrymen in quantity; therefore, 1t
behooves everyone to keep busy grad
ing up his flock. No matter who has
the best flock now, the one who culls
out the most birds persistently and
intelligently will have the best flock
in the end. There is no hope for the
poultryman who Is content and who
works to own one or two prize win
ners with a third-rate flock behind
them, instead of constantly striving
to raise to higher averages his whole
flock.
The hope of the poultryman in
Washington today lies in his one best
bird and in his reproducing of her
kind. The hope of the poultry indus
try of Washington today lies in the
flock averages Of the bulk OF the
poultrymen of the state.
We breed from too many birds.
Right now in this month Of February
is the time for US to begin to Gull
out our breeding pens. The better
birds we raise the more OF them we
will call culls. When a man says
there are no culls in his flock the
wonder is-which he does not know
intimately-his flock or his breed

Chicken Breeds Most Desirable

Culling Lines.
/. In vigor and size.
2. Egg production.
3. Uniformity.

From rightly bred flock one need
not reject many birds on such broad
lines, but in breeding foundation
stock, that is, the prospective breed
ers, one must take into consideration
every requirement Of the standard
for his particular breed and other re-
quirements which the standard does
not mention and which are vastly
more important In breeding for eggs.
Some of these other requirements
are:
/. Exceptional vigor.
2. Breeding tendencies in the an
cestry.
3. Adaptation to environment.
4. The ability to meet market
requirements.
The demand today and the In
creasingly insistent demand of to-
morrow will be for standard bred
birds that will make good as layers.

BY G. L. WOOD.

" HE following article taken from
editorial utterings of the Rural
. New Yorker will give some idea
of the argument that is being put
up to the farmers of the country.
A few years ago the fanciers
who won premiums at poultry
shows were the only one to OBJ
tain largo prices for fowls, and
naturally great stress was laid
on perfection of markings on the
feathers, on feathers on the mid
die toe of some breeds, on total
absence of feathers on the legs of
other breeds. on the shape of the
comb, on the color of the ear
lobes, every one of these things
being objects of earnest endeav-
or, yet none of them were of any
real benefit. The egg-laying
contests have already made
great change in conditions. Now
man who has bred his birds for
egg production and demonstrated
at the contests that he really
has a strain of fowls that can
and do outlay others, can get as
much for his birds for breeders,
or as much for eggs for hatch
ing, as the fanciers only could
get few years ago, and the
point of Importance in all this Is
that the whole country is bene-
fitted by 1t.
Survival of the Fittest.
The real out and out fancier Il
given no consideration whatever, and
1t Is a question how long favorite
breeds will survive against the argu
ments put forward for the profit
makers. We have seen the immense
balance in favor of the leading va
rieties at the egg contests. The
farmer wants them. Everyone wants
them, as long as they will lay more
eggs on the same amount of feed
than the ones they are raising now
Then the only chance of the favoritt
breed lies in the ability to improve
it as a layer, and to be able to &c
into the contests and prove theil
worth.
We are impressed with the ides
that many good varieties are going
to suffer, that an occasional excep
tional record will throw an eclipse
for a time over other varieties
equally as good. Big things are
