DIFFERENT BREEDS OF HENS
Ieqhorns and Minorcas Are Best for
Eggs, but Are Poor Sitters-Brah-
mas Best for Meat.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Chickens, for convenience, may be
classified as egg breeds, meat breeds,
general-purposc breeds, and fancy or
ornamental breeds.
The egg breeds include the small or
medium-sized fowls which are very ac-
tive. quick to mature, producers OF
white-shelled eggs, usually nonsitters
or at best but poor sitters, and rather
poor mothers, say poultry specialists
of the United States Department Of
Agriculture. The varieties of Leghorns
and Minorcas are good representatives
of this class. Because they are poor
sjtters some other breed, or at least a
few other fowls, should be kept if nat
ural methods of incubation are to be
employed. On account of their early
maturity it is not uncommon for indi-
viduals of the egg breeds to begin lay
ing at the age of four and one-half
months. These breeds do not fatten
as readily under ordinary conditions
as the larger and less active breeds
and are rather sensitive to low TEN
perature because of their large combs
and wattles.
The largest fowls, represented in
the meat class, are especially suitable
for the production of large rOasters.
They are slow and somewhat sluggish
in movement, have little desire for
foraging, are easily confined by low
fences, rather slow to mature, persist
ent sitters. and rather Indifferent lay
ers of brown-shelled eggs. Many poul-
trymen, however, are getting very fair
egg yields from them. The Brahmas
Langshans and COchins may be men.
toned as belonging to this class.
The general purpose breeds include
fowls which are of fair size and which
will also produce a good quantity OF
brown-shelled eggs, making them es-
pecially adapted to the person wish
ing a supply of both eggs and meat.
As one has to make frequent sales Of
flesh in the shape of surplus cOckerels
and hens, the carcass as well as egg
production should be considered. The
general-purpose breeds are usually
good sitters and good mothers. They
have medium-sized combs and wattles
and endure cold weather well. They

PROPAGATION OF DEWBERRIES
Roots Make Strongest Plants and Are
Generally Used by Nurserymen
for Reproduction.

Dewberries are very easily propa-
gated. They, like the blackberry, may
be propagated from suckers that are
likely to be rather numerous, or from
roots. The roots make the strongest
plants and nurserymen generally re
produce the dewberry by roots.
The dewberry roots are cut into
small pieces, an inch or two long. and
the roots put in a box of sand or soil.
They are sometimes put in beds till
the roots begin to sprout and start
shoots.
Those who have dewberry vines that
bear well and yield fine berries should
reproduce them as suggested. Often
wild plants are found worth reproduc-
ing.

PLAN FOR MOISTURE SUPPLY
Sufficient Amount Necessary to Get
Best Results From High-Priced
Fertilizer.

No matter how serious the ierti-
llzer problem of orchards should be
considered, it must be remembered
that moisture has a great deal to
do with whether or not the trees can
utilize all of the fertilizer applied.
If sufficient moisture is not present
and kept there by a good soil mulch
and frequent tillage, then the best
results will not be secured from the
use of fertilizer.

If beech trees are headed low there

Beeches and birches suffer most by
