POINTS CONSIDERED
IN STANDARD. BREDS
Size, Shape and Color Are Out
standing Factors.
Desirable Uniformity Of Excellence
Can Be Maintained In Every
Practical Quality by Careful
Selection of Breeders

Standardized poultry. as the
phrase is commonly used in America,
is poultry bred to the standards es-
tablished by the American Poultry
association. The principal points con-
sidered are size. shape and color. say
poultry specialists in the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Size and shape are breed character
istics and largely determine practical
values of poultry. Many standard
breeds are divided into varieties diff
fering in color, but identical in every
other respect. Color is not pri-
mary utility point, but as a secondary
point often comes in for special con-
sideration. For example, white va
riety and a black variety Of the same
breed are actually identical in table
quality, but because some black birds
do not dress for the market as clean
and nice looking as white ones, 1t
often happens that they are not as
salable.
When a flock Of fowls is kept for
egg production only, uniformity IN
color is much less important than ap-
proximate uniformity in size and type,
YET the more attractive appearance of
a flock of birds of the same color JUS
titles selection for color as far as II
can be followed without sacrificing
any material point.
When a poultry keeper grows his
own stock year after year. he should
by all means use stock Of q well-es
tablished popular standard breed. BY
doing so and by selecting as breeders
only as many Of the best specimens
of the flock as are needed to produces
he chickens reared each year there
is maintained a highly desirable uni
| formity of excellence in every prac
teal quality and pleasing uniform
| ity In color.

boy, how we came to the crossroads
before and how we chose the smooth

bunny one?"
"Then we met the witch and she
told us that the bumpy one was the
one we should have taken. We took
the smooth one and it didn't lead any
where at all. She called it the Road

as miles are concerned. but 1t will
take you twice as long to get there

'Tll try It," said the boy. Come"
he beckoned to the girl.
But she didn't care to so. because
she thought perhaps she was being
fooled and also that the boy was boss

Then one of the others said, Here,
I'll lead the way. I've always been a
good one for leading. Here. boys and

Ground Must BE Hollow.

In Lassen county. California, Is
spot called Dry lake. which is in reali-
ty almost an arid plain, with some
alkali scattered here and there over
1t, and its area is two and half by
four miles. On one side are the Pit
River mountains and on another are
big pine woods. while to the west are
the famous lava beds, In which the
Indians hid during that last great Cal
lfornia struggle with the savages. A
winding road leads up from the val
ley below into the curious basin.
If horse walks on this road any
where. even two or three miles out
side the border Of the Dry lake. he
can be heard for many miles up in the
interior. The ground all about there
sends forth hollow sound. Reverbera-
tons can be heard everywhere. A foot
fall may be heard like a sound In q
great cavern.
