distinct utility, value for egg Il l'sa-
duction for family use. There is also
a good demand for eggs for Matching
and for breeding stock of good quail
ity. BECAUSE OF their small size these
pigny breeds often have the advantage
over larger fowls where only ,asyefy
small space IS available for the flock.
They are easy for children to handle,
and the ownership Of few Bantams
often is the beginning of real interest
in poultry raising. ..~
The various breeds of Bantams, their
characteristics, and methods of man
agement are discussed in Farmers
Bulletin 1851, The Bantam Breeds and
Varieties, the fifth Of series ON
Standard Varieties Of Chickens. The
various breeds, says the bulletin, have
not been raised with the idea Of egg
production and, as result, the aver
age is not very high, probably around
175 eggs in a year. The eggs vary
in size. as do the different Bantam
breeds, ranging from T. ounces doz-
en- to IS Or 20 ounces. The color OF
the eggs runs from white to- dark

This was due to a falling off in
price in the markets of the world,
But Canadian farmers remained
loyal to their porkers. And their
policy has been justified. Hogs are

and are expected to 60 higher.

The bacon hog has been the ia

Today Canadian bacon is . rival IN
British markets Of the famous

The government has steadily en-
couraged Canadian farmers to stick
to hogs. It foresaw that eventually
hogs must regain their position in
farm economy. Following the gov

tanned their herds. Settlers pour

LEAKY POULTRY HOUSE ROOF
More Annoyance From Damp Quarters
in Spring Than in Winter on Ae- :
count of Rain. p:

There is usually more annoyance
from leaky poultry house roofs In the
sspring than in the winter, because
more rain occurs. Also, in winter, Ice
and snow may remain for weeks on
roof without melting, and really assist
to protect against the winds; but in
spring any leaky places will be open
ings for beating rains. Roofs should
be repaired at once, If there are any
cracks or leaks at all or the result
will be damp quarters and the flock

"A Business Man"
For Governor

The three Democratic. or indepen-
dent newspapers Of Louisville. to-
gether with the Eliabethtwon News
and Shelbyville News. are calling for
a business man for the Democratic
nomination for Governor and in this
they have the support Of every loyal
ken,uckian. However. we fear they
have something up their sleeve" ON
this proposition. and we may expect
their man" TO bob up most any time,
and "it's dollars TO dough-nuts" he
will be a politician. Look out when
n few men get together and try TO
name a candidate for office. They
usually have "axes to grind"
The Daily Messenger endorses ev-
cry statement made by these news
papers. except those statements about
the candidates that are already men
toned for the office Of Governor.
The fact that these newspapers con-
denim the three or four candidates
mentioned for the Office, shows that
they have some one else in view. We
are in favor Of having a good bust
ness man for Governor. a man who
has had experience in governmental
affairs and a man who has shown abil-
iiy along these lines. We think We
know the man needed and will name
him at the proper time. We are at
work on the proposition and want to
be sure We have a man who cannot
be "bossed" and who does not reprs-
sent any machine or set Of men. and
a man who has shown by experience
what he can do.--Danville Messenger.
