PLYMOUTH ROCK Is POPULAR
Breed as First Originated Was of
Barred Variety-White Is Hardy
and Adapted to Farms.

The most popular of all American
breeds OF poultry is the Plymouth
Rock. This breed as first originated
was Of the Barred variety, which is
yet the most popular of all the cOlOrs.
Early in the breeding OF Barred Ply
mouth Rocks fanciers reported the ap-
pearance of white chicks. They were
sports" and some were bred together,
producing the present variety of White
Plymouth Rocks. They have attained
great popularity, widely bred, both for
utility and fancy, and have proven
perfectly satisfactory in either capac-
lty.
They are hardy and especially adapt
ed to farms. The hens lay large dark
brown eggs OF a grade much sought
in certain localities.
The chicks are vigorous, strong and
nctive and grow exceptionally fast on
range, reaching maturity at from five
and one-half to six and One-half
months old. They are readily salable
for the highest grade of market poul-
| try at all ages from broiler size to
| full maturity, and are very popular
in some sections for the production of
CapOnS.
Males weigh from s to IL pounds,
females Z to 10 pounds, and are prob

GIVE SOUR MILK TO CHICKS
Found Beneficial in Cases of White
Diarrhea by Professor Kaupp
OF North Carolina.

When white diaFrhe9 attacks a flock
of young chicks many of them die,
while those that survive are more Or
less stunted. Feeding freely on sour
milk has been found beneficial. If sour
milk does not act against tbs disease
it at least gives the chicks greater
strength and vitality so they are not
seriously affected if attacked.
In soasta tests by Professor Kaupp
Of North Caro1aAa he found that chicks
fed on sour milk quaci!g recovered
when attacked and the loss was only
10 tc Is per cent. In a similar lot,
handled ana fed the same except for
the milk, the loss wag "A per cent the
first month, while the remainder were
iH such q weakened condition that at
the end OF eight weeks 36 per cent had

which it contains is not so well under

the chief important elements which
make the fruit highly valuable. Gran
CCS contain phOSphates, which are a

be eaten at least q half hour before

given TO very young children, not too

may b" served in such Il variety of at

and roinCve all the white skin. Slice
very thin, removing any seeds if pres
ent; arrange the slices overlapping on
q small glass platter or OblOng plate,
sprinkle lightly with powdered sugar
and Garnish with candied cherries.
AS salad, most delicious combina-
tien is oranges, pineapple, few dates,
ard CHARTERED marshmallows served
with any dressing made thick with
whipped cream. When oranges are
,lSod as salad for fish or duck, the
dressing should be a French one, using
lemon juice for the acid.
For serving an invalid, the orange
should ne peeled and all the skin
from each section removed; then ar
range around Il mound Of sugar and
serve. An orange prepared flower fash
on is 4 most dainty way to serve the
f,...'t to an invalid. Cut down the skin
in cfg,lths to within an inch from the
blossom end. then strip down in points
and fold or turn them in. The orange
may then he pulled apart in sections.
Ancther method is to peel the orange,
leaving an inch or half inch band
around the fruit, equator fashion.
Then @Hread open and the sections are
easily removed.

With the idea of securing infor-

wood that may be ..sed as fuel for
domestic purposes, Alger Melton,
county chairman Of the fuel admin
itsration, has sent letters to the va
rious committees throughout the
county, requesting that they report
the available wood that might be used
as fuel.
"This includes, of course, not only
the wood IN the local yards of the
county, but the standing timber, ?
said Mr.. Melton. "The state fuel adj
has asked for the report,
and in addition desires to know the
approximate cost Of delivering the

LOSER IN
BIG BOUT
More Than $4,000 in Erroneous Taxes
Ordered Returned TO Rock Island;
Cases in Federal Court

Yesterday afternoon in the federal
court, the Chicago, Rock Island and
Pacific railway company won a -four
thousand dollar bout with Grady
county, when the jury in the case re-
turned verdict for the plaintiff.
1t was an action wherein the rail
road company asked that taxes al
legged to have been enormously as
.sessed and which were paid, be re-
turned by the county treasurer to the
railroad The amount involved was
$45642S which the jury's verdict or
dered returned to the Rock Island
Speaking OF the case today, H. N.
Mullican, county treasurer, said:
There was nothing but a point OF
law in this case that, / understand,
had been previously decided by the
supreme court. The Rock Island
passes through something like twelve
or fifteen school districts and six or
eight townships in the county. Err
roneous tax leyies Of a few mills
might mean very little to an individ-
ual, but when the enormous property
of the railroad in this county is con
sidered a very small oyercharge
here and there through the various
districts and townships, totals con.
siderable sum. The company sued
to have these taxes returned to them
and the jury gave them a verdict for
the entire amount"
In the case of S. w. Turk, trustee.
vs. A L. Alfred, which was jury
case by consent, a verdict for the
defendant was returned It was a
case wherein the plaintiff sought to
have returned back the sum Of $1075.

that neither side reported ready for
