BOY SCOUTS COLUMN.
MILFORD BOY SCOUT NOTES.

Owing to the unusual activities Incl
dent to "Old Home Week" the usua
meeting of Troop was postponed to the
following week, when a full attendance
is desired.
The individual medal contest for one
month, closes with the date of this issue
of the Chronicle, with Charles Abbott
heading the list. All Scouts who were
in attendance at the Firemen' s ball game
and who participated in the parade are
credited with twenty points for each
occasion. The closing of this contest
gives possession of the medal to Charles
Abbott for the succeeding month. and
should he retain possession of it for two
successive months will acquire title to
permanent ownership.
The floor of the cabin is now laid, the
windows are in place and the base of the
fire place has been put in position. With
the application of a little more Scout
energy the cabin will soon be ready for
dedication, which it is hoped to make of
more than local interest.
As announced in last weeks column,
all Scouts now registered will receive
boy Life, the official Scout magazine,
free for a period of six months All
those not registered should do so at once
in order to take advantage of this IN
usual offer.
On several occasions the non partisan,
and non military character
of the Scout movement has been pointed
out, and also the fact that certain
amount of drill is a necessary adjunct to
Scout training. That this does not nee
essarily imply the inculcation of militar-
istic ideas has been proved by the inves-
tigation of Scout conditions in foreign |
countries. Many Scouts have been en-
gagged in pursuits useful to their respec- !
tive countries; none have been so far
front as the actual firing line. While it /
s true that number OF men with pre- /
7ious Scout training have become the /
pest trained soldiers in the ranks. it
should be a matter for congratulation
hat the Scout movement should, by its
1aried activities. produce type of men
If high patriotism and capable of aiding
n the defense of their own homes in
line of need.

THE BEAUTIFUL 0RPlNGTON,
FOR FANCY OR FOR PROFIT
By J. H. McFAUL, Jr.
(AH Rights Reseyged0

Starting the same year in which he
introduced the Black OrpingtOn, anC
while yet working arduously on the crea-
tion of a White bird, Mr. Cook began
the building of a Buff coored fowl to
add to his already great efforts toward
producing a breed that would meet with
popular favor and be recognized in poul-
trydOm as one of the best, both for gen
eral utility and fancy.
The making of the Buff Orpington,
which would complete the family which
Mr.. Cook had originated, was started in
1856 when he mated Gold Spangled Ham
burg cocks to cOlOred Dorking hens.
From these matings came many pullets
OF reddish brown color, and to these
he mated Buff Cochin cocks. The selec-
tion of the Hamburgs in the first mating
was due to their perfect shape, while
the Dorking was selected in order to get
the long breast bone and delicious meat.
The COchins, being large anG good win
ter layers, were used to get these par
ticular qualities in the new creation.
The Buff Orpington is indeed a beauti-
ful and noble bird, and in evolving this
bird, one rarely thinks what had to be
done and can hardly appreciate the pa
been endured by Mr. Cook. The Ham
burgs had blue legs, white ear lobes and
black tails. The DOrkings had. besides
a black tail, five toes on either foot;
while the Cochins had yellow legs cover
ed with feathers. And yet the perfect
Buff Orpington produced by Mr. Cook, |
has white legs, red ear lobes, free from |
feathers on the legs, and minus the fifth 1
toe, and withal, a beautiful buff color
LhrOug hout
Mr.. Cook first introduced his last crea-
lion, and completion of his so-called |
Orpington family, to the public at a show
leld in England in 1894. While the
Orpingtons are a fine breed for the
breeder of fancy birds TO adopt, yet they
lre at the same time included in the list

Poultry Pointers

While it is quite true that many poul-
try breeders keep a variety of breeds.
usually more interest is taken in the
business where a man devotes his time
and energy to particular one; in which
case the birds are all of one color. tis
an established fact that such flock pro-
duces a more uniform product, which
invariably secures the owner higher
prices than can be derived from the pro-
duct of mOngrel breed, or vet where
two or more breeds are maintained.
Then too, the breeder has only to follow
a certain method in handling them.
whereas when more than one breed is
kept with distinctly different character
lstcs, 1t is necessary to follow as many
methods as one has breeds, in order 10
get the most out of them.
While the dark pumaged birds do not
require the same careful attention as do
those of white or lighter plumage. and
thus do not entail so much real work in
order that they might at all times be
presentable, yet it is also known that
they do not look as well as the lighter
ones when dressed for market. This is
particularly true of the black varieties.
Make sure that you do not carry over
the winter a lot of useless birds, either
old or young If you have not already
culled your fiocks. do so at once. Dis
card, in addition to the cockerels, all
those members of the flock which are off
color or in any way stunted, together
with the old birds that have outlived
their usefulness. Remember, they con- !
sumo lot of feed at a time when it is |
most expensive and will give you little
or nothing in return.
Don't forget that daily allowance of /
green food, in addition to the other
necessary feeds, if you hope to get eggs
during the coming winter. Don't feed .
it few days and then come to the con
clusiOn that the hens can get along very
well without it. and cease its use. Fowls
simply cannot do their best without this
particular kind of food. Give it to them
each day and every day and you will be
repaid in the end.
Keep the drinking vessels perfectly
clean at all times and well filled with
pure fresh water. Water forms the
largest portion of the egg and brings a
good price when sold in shells.
