CHARACTERISTICS OF

Que af the mos; prominent charac'

This is Il point of great Importance,
and should he remembered in select
ing Cornish poultry, Their combs are

comb. The Pea comb has three strong
single combs which are joined at the
base and The rear nf the combs. Con-
%sedneniiy they are sometimes called
joint combs.

the birds with lnrge bones and short
legs far apart should he chosen. Is

good broad breast, and tail of cOrrecT
Shape. With his broad back IL is I'm.

The standard weight 1T Il Dark Cor
niSh male bird is ten pounds. His
color should he "a lustrons greenish
black intermiugicd with a dark red 0n
the wings and back. II great care is
not given 10 selecting a male bird with
q large bone, weak breeding stock will
be the result. Unless The bird has the
shortness and sioutnesS Of legs you
are very sure Of finding narrow back
shoulders and breast, which character
istIcS in any variety Of The Cornish
breed are a very serious defect.
In the female YOU will fad rbe hls-
tr0us black c0loring with a mahogany
penciling with wings, back and breast
feathers showing Two peucilings. This
penciling should follow the shape of
the feathers
Any feathers on the legs OF these
birds ~disqualify them. The White and
White-laced Red Cornish require The
same type Of bird that The Dark Cor
nish possess. Very few White or
White-laeed Red Cornish have been
shown In the south.

exceeds $250,O0O,0 CO as against
500, 100000 in 1913. The price Of
cocoa jumped from l0c a pound
in November 1918 to zoe a pound
in August 1919, yet the quantity
imported in 1919 exceeds that of
the preceding year. and the sums
paid in 1919 are practically 500
greater than nj 1918. Sugar as
everyone knows, has reached a
price hitherto unheard of, at least
in the memory of the present gen
Grafton, and hard to get at that,
vet all the sugar authorities now
agree with the statement that the
quantity consumed in the United
States in 1919 is the biggest ever,
while official figures of the gov
eminent show that the sums paid
for that entering the ports of the
United States in 1919 (~including
that from our own islands) is ap-
proximately 100000 against
approximately $3.50, 900 in 1913
and 1857, 900, 1000 in the year pre-
ceding the war.
In manufacturing materials the
advance in price has been as great
as that of foodstuffs, but this has
not deferred the purchases from
abroad. Raw silk for example,
shows an advance in import price
of from $3.50 per pound in De-

500 per pound in November1919

HIGHER FOREIGN PRICES ARE
FOLLOWED BY INCREASE
OF IMPORTS

High Prices of the products of
foreign countries have apparent
ly no trrors for the pople of the
United States. Does coffee double
in price? The people of the United
calmly increase the quantity i'm
ported and pay treble prizes for it.
Does sugar advance from 80 to
100 per cent? The increase the
quantity imported and consume a
la%rgertotal than ever before. The
quantities brought into the coun-
try advancing from 7,000,0 600, 900
pounds in 1918 to 10000, 00O, 900
pounds in 1919, and the wholesale
price pair therefor from 1915, OOO,-
900 to $3.50, 100000. Do hides and
skins show an increase Of 80 to rs
percent? The quantity imported
doubles and the sums paid for the
grand total trebles. Do diamonds
SI17ther precious stones in
crease in price per carat? The
quantity still further increases
and the total imports jump from
$50,000,000 in 1918 to 800, O0O,-
600 in 1919.
These are some of the facts re-
vealed by an analysis by the CITY
National Bank of New York of
the latest import figures-figures
which show an increase in stated
values Of our imports from 1,778-
100000 in 1915 to 1904, 0OO, 900 in
1919, an increase of about 100 per

Prices abroad, says the Banks
statement, of many articles have
doubled since the close of the war,
but this fact has not deferred the
people of the United States in thei
importation of these higher priced
articles but rather has stimulat-
ed consumption than otherwise.

Eighth Convention

eighth Convention
The eighth Republican National
Convention, meeting June 3, 1884, at
Chicago, finally gave Blaine the deco
ration which two previous Conven-
lions had denied-gave 1t to him., by
strange prank of fate. the first time
In "a years that the Republican NOM
nee was to fail of election.
Biaine's strongest opposition came
from Arthur, who had succeeded 10
the Presidency upon the death OF Gar
field and who contrary to precedent,
had been very acceptable In meeting
his graduated responsibilities. Arthur
was from New York. Yet 1t was new
York which ultimately gave Blaine
the nomination, only to defeat him
late at the polls by giving Cleveland
a scant majority of 1.149 in the great
Empire State-small enough to have
been easily overcome in. a single
county. yet big enough In this IN
stance to overturn the country.
George F. Edmunds of Vermont,
John A. Logan of Illinois, John Sher-
man of Ohio. Joseph r. Hawley OF
Connecticut. Robert Il. Lincoln of IL
linois, and william T. sherman of
Missouri also were candidates before
the Convention.
