 One of the crying needs in his of fee. he said. is some manner of backing up executive orders. Since there is no Arizona national guard. the governor said he is helpless tO enforce orders and he suggested that ;he shcrins of ihe various counties might aid in solving this difficulty
 Capital punishment he did not advocate directly, but said that sincl il has been abolished in Arizona, tho number of crimes committed indi- oates that the new plan is failure. He called attention to the fact that the murders done in Maricopa coun- ty alone since capital punishment was abolished. outnumber murders in the entire state in some former years.

HANDLING AND STORING EGGS
proper Methods-Unlimited De-
mand for Best Quality.

The fresh egg is clean, wholesome,
and of good flavor, but is very sus-
ceptible to deterioration by improper
storage and handling. 1t often hap
pens that the points of egg production
are distant from the place where they
are used, and there must be some de-
lay before eggs reach the consumer.
There has always been an unlimited
demand for best-quality eggs, for
which discriminating customers do not
hesitate to pay q premium.
The recent disclosures of putrid eggs
being used for baking purposes have
produced much alarm among consum-
ers. This has had tendency to re-
duce the consumption of eggs. There
is also a fear in the mind Of a person
breaking a boiled egg that 1t will be
spoiled. 1t is not the loss of food
contents in the egg that is feared, but
rather the mental shock produced by
the sight and odOr of spoiled egg

UNIFORM EGGS FOR MARKET
Grated Article of Large Size and Same
Color viii Bring Highest Price
Best Feed Mixture.

A practical poultryman says: Of you
want uniformity in a flock, begin with
the eggs. For Matching select eggs all
as near alike as possible. for size,
color and conformation. In this way
you will produce flock of hens that
will lay just the kind of eggs you want
for home use or for murket." A crate
of large eggs, all very pear of one size
and color will sell more readily and for
higher price than eggs Of just as
good quality, but of different sizes, col
ors and shapes. Study the market and
furnish just the eggs that will bring
The best market price. AS to color,
tastes differ, one city wants brown
eggs, another white eggs.
AS a rule dark-shelled eggs, all of
one size, bring the best market price.
Give the poultry grass range, shade,
clean, pure water and reproducing
food. There is no better egg-produc-
ing food than a combination of oats,
bran, corn. grass and clover, skim milk
and insects.

PLYMOUTH ROCK HAS HARDY CONSTITUTION.

a farmer not long since referred to
a flock of Barred Rock pullets which
he possessed as his "Dairy Short
horns"
The metaphor was apt. AS the dairy
shorthorn is perhaps the best dual
purpose COW which we have, sc is the
Barred Rock the best dual purpose
hen.
She is heavy layer, has hardy
constitution, and is an excellent table
bird. True she cannot compete with
the best individuals of the heavy meat
breeds such as the Brahma or the
Cochlns, but it takes good specimen
of the special egg producers to rival
her even in their own special depart
ment.
Origin of Breed.
The Barred Plymouth Rock breed
probably originated in Massachusetts
about the middle of the last century.
1t is said to have sprung from the
cross of a Dominique cock with a
Black Cochin hen. The Barred Rocks
combine the qualities of both of these
breeds. They more nearly approach
the Cochin in size but in other re-
spects closely resemble the Dominique.
Since then, other strains have been
added. H. b. May of Natick, Mass,
found the stock to lack stamina. He
tried light Brahma cross on it with
unsatisfactory results. Then he
CHANGED on cock which he described
as grade game and which promised
to give the desired result. The cross
proved satisfactory. In three years
all undesirable features had been bred
outt. From this MAY stock or the orig
inal strain has appeared the modern
Barred Rock.
In his work with this stock May
devised the double system of mating
necessary TO produce birds for the
show pen. The ideal in color of this
