The most popular and probably
the widest known of all American
breeds of poultry is the barred
Plymouth rock
Early in the history of pure-bred
poultry in America the shanghais,
chittagongs. black Spanish, Games
and dOminiuqes were the only pure
bred varieties known. Many crosses
were made from them, until an ac-
tual type of shape and color was
agreed upon, about 1878, known as
the great american mongreT'.
IL is generally agreed that the
present day barred Plymouth rock
is descended from a cross of the
dominiques and black Javas. the lat
ter a fowl of Asiatic origin. Plym-
outh rocks became widely popular,
being especially adaptable and
profitable Almost every farmer in
the country bred Plymouth rocks,
because they were great layers Of

CROP CONDITIONS
REPORTED FAIR
No Serious Damage is Seen
and Month of March Has
Not Been UnfavorabIe.
BY GEORGE c. BRYANT,
Field Agent.

The past month has not been un-
favorable TO growing crops. al
though there have not been many
warm days or much sunshine.
Many factors enter into making
a low wheat condition figure at this
time. To begin with, the crop was
seeded exceptionally late and in
many instances poor seed was used
The winter has been very severe
Little snow covering and several
billiards. during the latter part,
with exceptionally high winds. doing
great damage on sand ridges. black
soil. and high clay knobs. where the
earth was literally blown from
around the roots of the plant. Not
withstanding the severe cold, re-
ports OF "heaving" are very few:
neither is damage by Hessian fly re-
ported 10 any extent. Fields that
were well sheltered and those sown
early are in fairly good condition
With favorable weather conditions

veloped
The rye crop is not in as good
condition as usual and much Of il
will be plowed under as fertilizer
The same conditions that injured
the wheat has affected the rye.
The high percentage of mortality
among live stock is due 10 the Sc

can often be located by observing
guineas that feed solidarity. The hen
is laying nearby. II is unwise 10
touch an egg until the hen becomes
broody Therefore all eggs should be
removed. preferably during her alb
sence. The empty nest breaks her
disposition to sit, and she soon re-
sumes laying, often in the same nest
if she has had no fright there. The
eggs should be given TO staid sitting
hens, such at Plymouths rocks, 10 to
each. Four weeks later. the little
ones hustle out of their shells, and.
ingly into corners Of the nest away
from the explorations of the attend
ants hand. For the next three or
four weeks the little chaps require
patient care. They seem stupid. The

guage they find hard TO learn. When
once it is fixed, it is ineradicable.
Guineas never forget their foster
mother. Long after she has weaned
them. sometimes for years, they play
Damon TO her Pythias. She finds
their devotion embarrassing, and
hides. but seldom eludes their per-
tinacity. Such guineas make good
breeders. They rOost in hen houses
with the foster mother and often lay
there. Sometimes they can even be
trusted to raise a brood of their own.
Care of Young Guineas.
Until the little guinea and the hen
learn each other, ii must not be al
lowed TO roam. The chicks need
range which is best secured by in
closing the hen in a small coop and
pen. The coop should have an earth
en- floor and be grassy. After two
or three weeks, the guineas, then
boasting well-feathered wings. know
the foster mothers "cluck". They
then graduate TO the privilege Of
leaving the pen with the mother
After this they require nothing but
water and three meals a day.
Besides green food. guineas must
have shade from the hot sun. plenty

They thrive on hard boiled egg

KEEPING CAR Clean
Many People Pay Little Attention
to Appearances.
SMALL PARTICLES CUT METAL
Good Washing With Soap and Water
Will Save Many Dollars in Repair
BiIls-Avoid Soap on Highly
Polished Body.

Some people pay little attention to
the appearance of their cars, washing
and polishing only on rare occasions.
A cleaning and polishing is necessary
not only because it makes the car
look better but because 1t increases
life and makes for smooth running,
writes Fl. A. TarantOus of New York
in Orange Judd Farmer. Mud and
dirt on the running gear parts, such
as brakes, universals, etc, would be
perfectly harmless If 1t remained away
from the working parts. However,
the small particles work their way to
the moving parts and cut the metal.
This applies to the steering system
also.
A good cleaning Of the running
gear with soft soap and water when
ever the mud accumulates will save
many dollars in repair bills. Use tepid
water and be free with it. A large
sponge well soaped should be used to
free the mud from its lodgings. Do
not use this same sponge for the body
because the small particles of sand
will cut the finish. Use soft cloth for
cleaning.
Be Careful With Hose.
In using a hose around the car be
as careful as possible not to get water
into the brake drums and other parts.
If little care is exercised the water
can be kept away. Use the sponge
for these places to free the mud. In
washing the radiator direct the stream
of the water from the rear with the
hood lifted or off. If this is done no
water will get onto the motor and
possibly into the magnetic and carbu-
rotor. Clean the steering knuckles
and even the rear axle housing. After
the running gear is clean proceed with
the body.
Never use soap on highly polished
body. Nothing but water should be
used. If there are mud spots they
should be soaked off with water. If
you rub the mud while it is hard it
will cause scratching of the varnish.
Apply a Polish.
When the body has thoroughly dried
apply a polish of some sort. The wax
polishes are good, and if applied once
week will make the cars always look
bright. Liquid polishes which are
sprayed upon the body can be applied
in about one-half hour. No rubbing is
necessary with these polishes. A WHIP
ing after applying is all that is need
ed.
For the upholstery use mixture of
half linseed oil and half vinegar for
Frightening up the leather. Apply it
with cloth and allow 1t to remain
untouched for about an hour. Then
wipe the upholstery again, so as to re-
move any chance of soiling the clothes

A vehicle, propelled by a gasoline
motor, an electric motor or both ut the
same time, appeared recently. The
new car is said to be the beginning of
4 new era in motor construction.
The power plant of the car consists
of small four-cylinder gasoline mo-
tor and an electric motor-generator
combined into one unit. The movement
of finger lever on the steering wheel
connects the gasoline motor to the
electric generator, which crnnks the
engine. Power is transmitted through
the armature shaft of the electric mo-
tor and propeller shaft direct to the
rear axle.
Their are two levers on the steering
wheel, corresponding to the spark and
throttle on the ordinary car. One con-
trolls the speed Of the gasoline motor
and the other the electric motor.
At any advanced position of the cleo
trio lever, the first movement of the
gasoline lever starts the gasoline mo-
tor. AS the lever is moved forward it
