most rugged In constitution. The
Dorking excels In quality of meat but
is generally considered somewhat lack
ing In hardness. The Cornish is rath-
er hard-meated but being very short
feathered, has its special place as a
large meat producing fowl In south
erly sections where the more heavily
feathered Brahma does not stand the
summers well.
Characteristics of General Purpose
Breeds.
Among the popular breeds of the
general purpose class there are also
differences in type adapting breeds
to different uses. The Plymouth Rock
is generally regarded as the type meet
ing the widest range of requirements
in the general purpose class.
The Wyandotte is a little smaller
and earlier maturing, but still very
well meated and easy to fatten.
The Rhode Island Red has nearly the
same standard of weight as the Wy
andotte, but is more active bird, not
putting on fat so readily; consequent.

cal values of poultry. Many stand
ard breeds are divided into varieties
differing in color, but identical I'm
every other respect.
Color is not primary utility point
but as secondary point often comes
in for special consideration. For ex-
ample, white variety and a black
variety of the same breed are actually
Identical in table quality, but because
black birds do not dress for the mar
ket as clean and nice looking as white
ones, 1t often happens that they are
not as salable.
When flock of fowls is kept for egg
production only, uniformity in color
is much less important than approx
mate uniformity of size and type, vet
the more attractive appearance of
siova of birds of the same color justi-
fies the selection for color as far as
it can be followed without sacrificing
any material point.

own stock year after year, he ought
by all means use stock Of a well-es-

breeds of fowls have been made and
developed on the general principle OF
practical quality the foundation of
breed character and value.
Classification of Useful Breeds.
In harmony with this principle the
common classification of breeds accord
ing to their place in the general scheme
of poultry production, divides them
into three principal classes, namely:
Laying breeds, meat breeds, and gen.
eral purpose breeds-that is, breeds
that are not as ready and persistent
egg producers are the laying breeds
and not as meaty and as easy to fat
ten as the meat breeds, yet combine
in one individual fowl very good laying
capacity with very good table quality.
The Leghorn. Minorca, Andalusian,
Ancona and Campine are well-known
breeds of the laying class: the Brah-
ma, Dorking and Cornish of the meat
class; the Plymouth Rock, Wyandotte,
Rhode Island Red and Orpington of
the general purpose class.
Characteristics Of Egg Breeds.
The breeds mentioned as the laying
class, with the exception of the Mi
norca, are relatively small, very en-.
ergetic and lively mature early and
are easily kept In good laying condi-
ton. The Minorca is of larger size
and modified somewhat In the other
particulars mentioned, yet has more
the character Of the laying class than
any other.
Characteristics Of Meat Breeds.
In the meat breeds there is not the
same uniformity of type that is found
in the laying breeds. The three men
toned are quite different. The Brah-
ma is more popular because 1t is at
the same time the largest and the

doing so and by selecting as breeders
only as many of the best specimens
of the flock as are needed to produce
the chickens reared each year, poul-
try keeper maintains in his flock a
highly desirable uniformity of excel
ience in every practical quality, and
with little extra care and no extra cost
can have a pleasing uniformity in
color.
Each Breed Has Its Place.
To the novice in poultry keeping 1t
often appears that there is no real ne
cessity 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 a view to adapt
ing each to particular uses or par
ticular conditions.
Leaving out of consideration the
breeds kept as novelties, most of which
originated before industrial progress
created large demand for poultry
products, all the standard American

In a recent article 1t was recon-
mended that women who wish to sew
for the Red Cross should choose one or
two kinds of garments and confine
themselves to making them, rather
than try to make many different gar
ments. Often women who are willing
to give time to sewing or knitting can
not afford to buy all the materials they
need. In this case they can arrange
to do the work for other women who
are willing to buy materials but
haven't time for the work In some
places the Red Cross chapters furnish
the goods and give out work to volun-
teers who make up needed garments.
Patterns for garments are all issued
In two sizes. medium and large. Ac-
cording to Red Cross instructions, two
medium-sized garments should be
made to every one of large size for
American hospitals and no large sizes
for French hospitals. The patterns are
issued according to the requirements
of the Red Cross by all the standard
pattern companies.

Each box of garments should con-
tain, inside the waterproof wrapping,

Preserved Ginger.--A delightful SUBJ
stitute for preserved ginger may be
made using white carrots or the yell

they will taste as good but not look
as much like the real ginger. Boil
the carrots for ten minutes, then
scrape off the outside layer and quar-
ter them lengthwise, cut In quarter
inch lengths, dlscarding the points and
core. Boil until tender, changing the
water several times to remove the car
rot flavor. To one pound of carrots
so prepared add two pounds of sugar,
one quart Of water, two ounces of
green ginger root shaved fine and the
grated rind and juice of one lemon.
Boil for fifteen minutes. Repeat for
four successive days until the strip
is thick. Dry ginger may be used if
the green is unobtainable, this must
be put into bag fine enough to keep
the grains from escaping. This may
be left as preserved ginger In the strip
