sensational advances in the history of the
cotton market attended the publication
yesterday of the two government re-
ports.

crop of only 1857 900 bales. Within
a few minutes after these figures were
issued January contracts sold at 1903. or
1866 a bale above the closing price of

DID, Timer Tells Story of
Gra1od Old B0rred Plymouth
Rock, Premier of the Yard

The Barred Plymouth Rock as we have
it today is a wonderful improvement
over that of former years and the I'M
provements made during the past fifteen
years are particularly noticeable. Size
shape and color have improved ana
while they breed to these requirements
to an unusual degree, it is also
just as true that their practical qualities
have also been benefited, and that in
laying qualities, and all other quail
ties that made them famous years ago
they are improved and better today thar
ever before in their history, and are con-
sidered Americas best product in domes-
tic poultry and the best general purpose
fowl in existence.
BARRED ROCK MEAT.
For strong vigor, quick growth, early
maturity, for the production of market
poultry, there is no breed of poultry
that gives sweeter or more juicy meat
than the Barred Rock. either as broilers,
soft roasting chickens or matured fowls.
AS aIl-round egg producers, cold weather
or warm, they can hold their own with
any other breed of poultry and Guido
good many of them. For beauty OF
plumage they speak for themselves
There were more Barred Plymouth
Rocks exhibited at shows of the United
States and CANADA last year IMAM DiTds
or any other breed, which is the strong
est evidence that the breed is popular
THE STANDARD REQUIREMENTS.
The standard requirements have been
changed every few years and at this
time are most exacting. They demand
a long, deep and well-shaped body, a
general fullness, straight and narrow
barring, contrast in color, evenneSs from
tip to tip, male and female to match
in color UNDERTAKING. and certain size
These are the leading particulars 70
consider in breeding. Each has its
value and each is of special Importance
upon the general specimen and his oil
her worth as a breeder.
DOUBLE MATING SYSTEM.
The double mating system is the one
in general use; it is the one that has
given results and brought the Barred
Rock up to it's present high state OF
perfection, beauty and practical value
1t has brought better and more uniform
type and has given to males and fe-
males the same beautiful color; even
ness and narrow barring that positively
could not have been obtained in any
other way. Double mating means sepa-
rate matings, one to procure the re-
uuired color and barring in males and
the other to procure the same quality
in females.-AN OLD TIMER.
