STOCK EXPERT
MAKES RULES ON
PURE BRED HENS
American Association is
Arbiter and Pays No
Heed to Pedigree
BY SETH w. SHOEMAKER
Director, School of Agriculture, I. G.
s. Scranton, Pa.

The use of the terms "pure
bred, Thoroughbred" etc, is of
ten confusing in the case of poultry
because such terms are applied with
an entirely different meaning than
they are to other kinds of live
stock. In the case of horses, cattle.
sheep, swine, etc, only animals that
are descended from other animals
that are registered in certain herd
books are considered thoroughbred
or purebred, regardless of their gen
eral appearance or of their conform
ity to type.
In the case of poultry the terms
pure-bred and thoroughbred are
more commonly applied to fowls that
are standard bred. This means fowls
that are bred to conform to the
standard of the American Poultry
Association. The association takes
great pains to draw up standards for

all of the principal breeds and vari-
cites and any fowls that conform to
this standard, regardless of their
parentage are eligible to competi-
tion and the taking of prizes in
those classes.
The fact that this matter is not
clearly understood is the cause of
loss to a great many poultrymen be-
cause they sometimes dispose of
flocks of good producers that are
near the standard in order to secure
reputed pure stock of high quality.
Breeding Develops Points
The average farmer is interested
in the production of his flock more
than in the securing Of fancy points.
By careful breeding for egg produc-
tion from various varieties it is
more than likely that the distinctive
features of the variety will be de-
veloped in the fowls that are re-
tanned.
One thing that is confusing to the
beginner is that all of the varieties
of each breed are not considered
standard, that is, there is no place
for them among the standards of the
American Poultry Association. For
example, there are six standard va
rieties of Plymouth Rocks and four
non standard varieties. There are
eight standard varieties of Wy
andottes and five non standard va
rieties, and so on down the list.
The standards in various shows for
the non-standard varieties will vary
considerably in different sections.
In looking through the catalogs
and premium lists at fairs there is
always Il chance for confusion due
to the fact that fowls are listed
by classes and these classes are not
as well known as the breeds and va
rieties in them. The following are
the principal classes mostly listed
according to their geographical ori-
gin. The breed is determined by
the shape of the body and the vari-
ETY. is usually based upon the color
OF the plumage or the shape cf the
comb.

American Fowls-Plymouth Rock

VAN O'NEAL
FOR SHERIFF
Lifelong Resident Of This Sec
tiOn and Well Known, Enters
Race Only After Considerable
Serious Thought.

In another column of this
issue will be found the name of
Van O'Neal, who makes formal
announcement of his candidacy
for the office of Sheriff of Stone
County.
1t has been rumored for some
time that Mr.. O'Neal would be
q candidate for this office but
not until he had given it serious
thought, and had consulted
numerous friends who were en-
couraging him to make the race,
did he fully decide to throw his
hat into the ring.
Mr.. O'Neal needs no introduce
tion to the people of Stone Coun-
ty. He is known from one corn
er to the other and his big figure
is recognized by practically
every voter in the county at a
long distance.
But he wants it said that he
is making the race for sheriff on
his own decision, backed only by
the encouragement of friends
and men who have confidence in
him. He is not "being run" by
anyone but seeks the office be-
cause he feels capable of con-
Quoting it in a creditable man.
ner and wants it to hold it's place
as one of the most law-abiding
counties in the state.
Mr.. O'Neal was born and
raised near his present home in
the northeastern part of the
county. He is the father of a
large family, has been success
full in many persuits and is con-
sidered a conservative business
man. He is at present in charge
of the public highways of the
county.
Mr.. O'Neal asks the voters to
give his candidacy consideration
and allow him the privilege of
an audience before selecting
their man for the office of sheriff
and he promises, if elected, to
look after the duties of the office
as closely as possible and to take
every step necessary to make
the county a peaceful and law
abiding one.

1900 Flu Cases.

Jackson, Jan. 30.-More than
5000 new cases of influenza dur
ing the week ending January 20
were reported to the State De-
partment of Health by county
health officers in the regular
weekend report of contagious
diseases. The exact number of
cases reported last week was T.
443, every county in the state
showing an increase in number
of cases under observation.
The number of cases reported
so far have surpassed the num-
Der reported for the whole
month of December, 1922, ac-
cording to the Board of Health
figures. During the month it is
expected that there will be at
least $4,000 cases of influenza in
the state. Many cases have not
been, nor will they be, reported
to the county health officer due
to the fact that no physician
has been notified, and home
treatment used. Fatalities, how
ever, are not expected to be
large due to the mildness of the
attack.

Other than that work on the
new mill would be started at
once and rushed to completion
as early as possible, and thatIall
employees affected as the result
Of the fire desiring work during
the erection of the mill, would
find employment, Mr.. Guild had
little else to say.
Asked as to the possibility of
operating the mill with electri-
city, Mr.. Guild said the same
system of operating the other
mill would be used.
No estimate of the loss could
be given and it will probably be
thirty days before anything like
accurate figures can be had, it
is said.
Men thrown out of work by
the burning of the mill, Mr..
Guild said, would find employ
ment on the works during the
erection of the new mill if they
so desired.
Craftsmen on the grounds
are busy with plans for the new
plant. The work of erecting
the mill will be under the super
vision Of the Finkbine Lumber
Trustees and the machinery
will be furnished by the Allis
Chalmers Company of Miiwau-
kee, Wis, the largest manufac-
turers of saw mill machinery in
the world.
Since the fire Of a week ago
Saturday which destroyed the
mill and which had been in
operation for the past twenty
years, the question of whether
or not another would be built
has been the chief topic of dis
cussion. While some were of
the opinion that it was doubt
full that a mill would be rebuilt
the general impression was that
the Trustees would decide it
advantageous to erect new
plant as large as the old one,
During the past ten days not a
word from the officials could be
obtained but shortly before an
official report was given out
Tuesday it was rumored that
work on the new mill would be
started soon.

PRIZE WINNER TELLS
OF TRIP TO CHICAGO
(By Anselm Ainsworth.)

(By Anselm Ainsworth.)
I am going to try to tell you
about my trip to Chicago the
best | can. I won the prize
over South Mississippi for hav-
ing the yield of 120 bushels on
one acre with good record
book.
This trip to Chicago was given
by the Mississippi Development
Board through Mr.. L. J. Folse
of Hattiesburg, Mississippi.
We left Jackson December 2
at $40 A. M. by the way of
Meridian on the A. & V. where
we changed trains at Meridian
at 100 o'clock for the M. & O.
We were later joined by Mr..
Pace and other club boys max
ing fourteen in all. We arrived
at Chicago December 3 at 600
o'clock.
My impression of the SUR
rounding country was the level
fertile lands, the big red barns,
farm houses and many silos and
windmills.
We took rooms at the Y. NJ.
C. A. Hotel on South Wabash
Avenue where we took a short
walk sight seeing after which
we retired for the night.
The next morning early we
left for the International Live
stock Show and the most inter-
esting thing to me was the fine
livestock
In one of the grain rooms
was a toy electric grain elevator
showing how the grain was
handled.
On the second floor they had
ways and means of future farms
showing the irrigation which
every farm has and this was
very interesting to me.
There were 750 club members
representing thirty states IN
Guiding Canada.
We visited Armour & Com
rany where they kill 800 cows
in one hour and it takes 80
minutes from the time they are
killed until they are in cold
storage, also the same plant
kills 1000 sheep in one hour.
We left there for Lincoln
Park where we visited Bird
Paradise and Tigerland.
We were served dinner at
Wilson & Company and we ap-
preciated this dinner very much.
On Tuesday we left for Field
Museum where we saw every
kind of animal known, only they
were not live but preserved in
their natural skins. There an
ancient elephant said to be the
largest in the world.
We visited Marshall Fields
and left from there on the
elevated train for Sears-Roe-
