Each Breed Has Its Place.

To the novice in poultry keeping it
often appears that there is no real ne
ccss!ty for so many breeds and varie-
ties as have been standardized in
America. Further acquaintance with
them, however, shows that although
color differences are in most cases
made merely to please the eye of
persons having different preferences
for color, the differences in shape and
size which make breed character have
been developed with view to adapt
ing each to particular uses or par
ticular conditions.

breeds kept as novelties, most Of which

NEW YORK, July 23.-Last
spring, after visiting the New
York Giants at their training
camp at Marlin, Tex, l predicted
that the success or failure of the
Giants this year would depend a
great deal upon the direction
their temperament was permitted
to take them.
Made up of the greatest collec-

league the Giants might we'll have
run away with the race or do just
what they are doing.
What they did depended entire
ly upon temperament.
Had the Giants been playing
the kind of baseball which won
26 straight games for them last
summer, they would be far and
away ahead of any club in the
league, but until lately they have
not been able to get started and
are now only matter of two or
three games ahead of the Phillies
Player for player the Giants are
