There are about one hundred and
eighty variety of chickens, but there
are only four standard breeds. They
are the daying, meat. dual purpose.
and fancy breeds. The chief varie-
ties belonging to the laying breed are
Leghorns and Minorchas Plymouth
Rocks and Rhode Island Reds are for
dual purpose, 1. e.. they are between
the meat breeds and the laying breeds.
Their egg production Is near the
Leghorns and they will produce more
meat, being a larger chicken. The
meat breeds are the Brahmas and
Cochins. The Bantams belong to the
fancy breed.
II were to begin raising poultry
would choose the white leghorns,
not only because / like their appear
ance but because would go into !
for the production OF eggs and would
therefore want one OF the laying
breeds. The Leghorn being a small
chicken, needs less food than othei
breeds.
If person wishes to get eggs dur
ing the winter he must have early
chickens This can be done by the
use OF broody hens or an incubator.
The next important thing is to feed
the chickens well. Nothing should
be given TO the chickens until they
are "a hours Old Then water and
bread soaked in milk may be given.
Other good foods are hard-boiled eggs
and oatmeal When they are about
two weeks old cracked grain may be
given them, but not whole grain un-
I'll grown. III winter eggs are re-
quired, the food must be as near as
possible 10 what they get during the
summer months.
Meat scraps may be given in place
OF the insects they find in summer;
the grain will be the same; grit can
be stored for winter use, or If desired,
oyster shells will serve the purpose;
clean water must be kept before the
hep all the time; and vegetables, as
cabbageheads, can be hung from the
ceiling just within their reach. Feed
ing for the market needs foods with
more fats and sugar.
In addition to proper feeding at
all times the hens must be properly
housed. The coop must be kept clean,
well ventilated, free from drafts, dry
warm, with dust baths, and plenty of
sunshine and light II possible the
windows should be on the south side
and the whole house protected by
some other building from the north.
Lice and mites must be kept away by
whitewashing the walls and powder

in the formation Of raindrops.
The experiment was thoroughly
tried out in this country in 1892,
and the negative results obtained
at that time have not been contra
dicted since. In France and Italy
the experiment has been renewed
in the form of hail cannon"
which were fired toward the clouds
on the approach of hail storm
to prevent the formation Of the
pellets of ice that are so destruc-
tive when they lombard vineyards

DRY behind this proceeding was
that the atmospheric waves sent
up, into the clouds In some way ia
cilitated the formation of rain in
stead of the dreaded hail, and
French and italian agricultural
journals for a long time contained
many enthusiastic reports OF the
great successes achieved by the
cannon in averting disastrous in
vasions Of hail.
Only an Illusion.
But every investigation under
taken by meteorologists ended
with a report to the effect that the
supposed influence of the cannon
was illusory. The case was compli-
Gated by the fact that hail is be-
lieved to be formed under special
electrical conditions, and those
who had confidence in the useful
ness of the cannon argued that
the atmospheric shocks and
waves might be effective in pro-
ducing electric conditions favor
able to the formation of rain and
opposed to that of hail. But this
was purely theoretical, and rested
on no independent experimental
proof.
If long-continued cannonading,
or great battles, were with prac-
tical unanimity followed by rain,
or any other distinctive weather
phenomena, then a priori case
might be made out for the theory
in question, but the historic evil
dence, as far as it goes, seems
rather to point in the opposite di-
rectiOn. An examination of the
weather records on the battlefront
in France and Flanders, or along
the Russian or Balkan front, if
extended over the entire period of
the war, will show that the rains
and floods have come at about
their normal annual periods, and
if they have seemed to be extraor-
dinarily heavy it is only because
of the attention conferred upon
them and the unwonted circum-
stances that have made them con-
spicuous. Rains that the peasant
farmers would never have talked
of become disasters for strug-
Cling armies and are thus men

piles his plate with food, and then
sits with his head down in it,

Of him-as his silk"
1t is a phrase which sticks in the
memory, as apt as any ever coined,
! think, to describe the peculiar
qualities of youth-its freshness
and sheen, its smoothness, its fex-
ible elasticity, both physical and
mental.
Under the strain of the years,
the tugs and jerks and general
rough handling of lie, the "silk"
tends to stret-h and sag, to lose
its luster and wear threadbare.
