Barred Rack as We Have It
Today Is a Wonderful Inn
prOvement Over That OF
Former Years

My experience in Barred Plymouth
Rocks dates back TO 1897, or nlne-
years. | have, therefore, had a long
time to study the breed and find out the
best methods of procuring the most
superior specimens. My foundation stock
was the best to be had and ever since
taking up the breeding of Barred
Plymouth Rocks 1 have bred them ex-
clusively, and only to the highest stand
ard. / wanted to produce the finest. not
only for personal satisfaction, but from
a business standpoint.
THE ORIGIN OF THE BARRED ROCK.
The Barred Plymouth Rock is today,
as it has been for half century, simply
and plainly the Plymouth Rock; the pre-
fix Barred" was added only few
years ago when the Buff, White and
others were made standard varieties,
and we presume that now and forever
the original Plymouth Rock will be
known as the Barred Plymouth Rock.
Their origin has been written, re-
counted and so often told, and has but
little interest in the variety as we have
it today. Several crosses were made
and in the main the Dominique male
was the-principal top cross used and the
one that gave the best results On the
female side the black Java was the
leading cross
We believe it true that on the male
side several crosses with games and
shanghais were made and that, while
Cochin, Dorking and Dark Brahma fe-
males were also used, still we have ev-
cry reason to believe that the Dominique
and Black Java cross, with careful Sc
lections made for recrossing, was the
responsible line and gave the best re-
suits. STANDARDIZED poultry does not
date back beyond the memory of living
men. Before that day thoroughbred
poultry of several varieties were bred
and were just about what their breeders
wanted them to be and fancied in size,
shape and color. They were strains,
and nothing more, but the phenomenal
interest created with the arrival of the
Plymouth Rock changed the entire con-
dition of affairs and made better poultry
and proper organiza ton possible. Their
history is the foundation and subse-
quent success of STANDARDIZED poultry.
Their practical qualities are the basis OF
the billion-dollar industry of today.

The carrying of these three provinces

Why the Cultivation of Winter

IL is only recently that the POSSIBLE

no reason why oats. wheat and rye

IL has hitherto remained idle.

an average yield of about 1S-5 bushels
per acre which makes this crop rival
corn in the matter OF the nutriment

oats can be raised easier than corn,

u. S. FEARS
AN EVASION
Delay In Reply To Submarine
Demand Causing Grave
Anxiety at Washington.

Washington, May 1.-Two weeks
have passed since the United States
dispatched to Germany its note de-
handing that an abandonment of
present methods of submarine war
fare Immediately be declared and ef-
fected, and tonight, the state depart
ment still was without any definite in
formation indicating that the demand
would be complied with.
AS the days go by and no reply
comes from Berlin and Ambassador
Gerard sends no word regarding the
attitude Of the German government,
an air of grave concern is beginning
to manifest itself in administration cir
cles. Publicly, officials continue to
preserve an air of optimism. Pri-
vately, no attempt is made to conceal
a contrary feeling and this feeling is
certain to become more pronounced
unless some definite news is forth
coming today.
II is felt here that the very length
Of time which has been consumed by
the German government will not take
the shape of a simple response to the
direct and clear cut issue raised, in
the American note. II is feared that
the reply is likely to assume an argu-
mentative character which can scarce
ly be regarded as meeting the require
nents OF the United States.
Persons in close touch with affairs
at the German embassy, however,
continue to express themselves as be-
ing positive that Germany will make
concessions to the United States
which will prevent the breaking off
of diplomatic relations. 1t is felt in
German circles that Germany certain
ly will agree to abandon operations
Objectionable to the United States at
least, pending negotiations on the SUBJ
iect. 1t is reiterated that all messages
from Berlin foreign Office clearly in
dictate that Germany is most anxious
to preserve friendly relations with the
United States.

Thursday, an order was made that
not less than five persons be sent as
a committee of protest against the

The increases are regarded as very
unjust, as the assessments in this
county fairly represent the property
values. The increase of 10 cents for
road bonds will add very materially
to tax burdens and to make further
arbitrary raise would be out of reason
at this time.
