In England the Black Leghorn ranks highly as utility fowl; in America 1t has not been so widely bred. Of late, however, there has been revival of in- terest in this variety, and some fanciers are predicting a boom In Black Leg horns. They point to the fact that this variety always presents neat appear ance, and is more attractive than a white bird with soiled plumage, such as Is found frequently when the birds are kept in limited quarters.
 Only their color has prevented the Black Leghorns from attaining wide spread popularity. This variety is SUD- posed to be the original Leghorn-the kind native to Italy, from which the White Buff and Brown have sprung. It Is noted for egg production.

SINGLE COMB BLACK LEGHORNS

The White Leghorn has made remark able records in egg production, and the eggs are larger than those of the other Leghorns. It is sprightly and active, be- ing a good forager and profitable farm chicken. It's plumage is of glossy green ish black, contrasting strongly with It's white earlobes and large red combs and wattles.
 Like all the other Leghorns, the Blacks grow fast They have yellow skin, but the dark pin feathers show to disad- vantage in the dressed fowl.
 Until recently most Black Leghorns had dark legs but of late fanciers have succeeded in breeding them witha pure yellow legs
 Like others of the same breed, the Black Leghorns are practically non- sitters.

WORK AND PURPOSES OF
 EXPERIMENT STA TIONS
Modern Methods Must Be Practiced in These Heroic Times How Investiga-

 land
 During the past decade the cause Of the hen has been recognized by prac- tically all of the agricultural experiment stations in the important poultry pro- ducing states. From more or less oo- scure beginning the poultry business has steadily advanced until we speak of 1t today as our s1,OoO, 900 industry. Much of this progress is due to the untir- ing efforts of poultry investigators.
 The aim of the experiment station has been to show, by careful tests of various kinds, what feeds are best adapted to egg production, how the egg production of the flock can be improved through selection and breeding, what type of house is best suited to the needs of the fowls and how diseases may be treated and eliminated In fact, all important phases of poultry keeping have received consideration and study. From this work there has accumulated vast wealth or information, available to every poultry man for the asking.
 That farmers and poultry keepers gem orally have failed to make use or lnls knowledge is well known. Many farmers and commercial poultrymen have sold off their stock during the past year because of high-priced feeds. It is impossible, they say, to make any profit under pres ent conditions.
 WHY SOME BREEDERS FAIL
 On the other hand, we find any num- Der of poultry keepers who are making money and planning to increase the ex- tent of their operations as fast as pos sible.
 What is the difference between these two classes?
 Observations have convinced me that the failure of the former is due to the fact that they have not kept abreast of the times. They fail to see the need of utilizing the information that has been obtained from experimental work To them a hen is a hen, regardless oi her egg production. They don't know that when wheat reaches a price that prohibits its use for poultry it can bt substituted by other feeds. Only few days ago a poultryman told me ther' was no use fooling with hens if wheat

THE WHEATLEss RATION


 For more than year the government has been trying out what is known as the wheatless ration. The results ob- tained from the experiment have been so encouraging that the ration is now being advocated all over the country The scratch feed is composed of two pounds of cracked corn and one pound of oats, and the mash is made up of three pounds of cornmeal and one pound of beef scraps. The mash is kept in a hopper, to which the birds have free access at all times, and the scratch feed is given in the litter. The aim is to regulate the quantity of scratch feed so that the fowls will consume about equal parts of the scratch and mash.
 Sibilar feeding experiments are con- stantly being conducted by the different poultry experiment stations in various parts of the country. The poultry keeper who hopes to feed his flock economically must keep in touch with this work. Write to your state experiment station and ask for wartime feeding literature, and then put the suggestions into prac- tice.

management and great host of poul- try keepers paid little or no attention to the constantly improved methods that were being inaugurated. As a consequence of this lack of progress in many instances they have been un- able to meet the severe conditions of high priced feed and similar difficult ties brought about by the war and have been forced to go out of business. These so~called failures do not
 mean that poultry keeping cannot be carried on at profit. but they do in dicate in very positive manner that 1 success depends on our efforts to make the flock efficient from every stand l point. The experiment stations are pointing the way.
 Next to producing eggs the para | mount issue is to sell the/ to the best advantage. Many poultrymen fall down on this point Freshness. clean Illness, grading and attractive packing :, are essentials to a worthwhile trade. 7 This subject will be discussed in de
