Looking at poultry from the stand- point of a market poultryman, the que - tion assumes en entirely different aspect Whether eggs or meat are wanted as a specialty the size of the fowls and the proportion of meat to offal mast always be considered, as sooner or later the lay- ing stock mast be disposed of on account of age, and then the advantage of weight is felt. In this connection s correspond- ent of The Fanciers' Journal thus sums up the matter. He says: Take Leghorn*, for instance—verita- ble egg producing machines. They will certainly prove remunerative for time, but when it is found necessary to renew a yard on account of age 100 Leghorn' will not average over four pounds apiece, while Minorcan, just as good layers, will average six pounds, and Light Brahmae from eight to nips pounds. Again, the rearing of 100 pullets will entail also the rearing of about 100 cockerels, which mast be disposed of as market fowls, and then every additional pound in weight means the price of one dozen eggs. From the above it should be eraily seen that Leghorn* are not the best fowls for market poultrymen. A larger breed is needed, even if the egg production is to be reduced. Light Brahma. are a good breed, the main objection to them being their slow - nes to put on flesh as chickens, making them in consequence undesirable as broilers. Minorcan make a splendid all purpose fowl. but again in their case something is wrong. As chickens they are not sufficiently hardy to make them as Mable as they should be, and es fowls they softer greatly from seven winters, which canoes their production of eggs to be seriously affected. Lang- ahans are good layers, have size in their favor, and they are hardy, but they have the Asiatic trait of maturing slowly, which detracts somewhat from their value. The pure breeds at prevent rightfully laying claim to thew title of all purpose fowls are the Wyandotte' and the Plym- outh Rock*, with the scales tipping in favor of the last, owing to their greater average weight and a alight superiority in number of eggs per year. Tby ave. both hardy, mature quickly and when full grown and overa year old are easily fattened. While they would seem to fill the bill they are not perfect. It kept in their purity, they are liable to suffer from the effects of inbreeding and to lose much of their vitality and power of healthy and vigorous reproduction. If all breeds offer objections, what then is the market poultryman to do? He will begin by carefully selecting for his breeding pens healthy, vigorous pullet* of some large breed in order to obtain the required size, Light Brahman preferred, and mate them to Leghorn Docks likewise healthy, in order thereby IDEAL PLTerOr'r.

The Rural New Yorker says there are not so many different grades of straw as of hay, but all straw to sell for quoted prion mast be in good ewer dation. The beet rye straw usually sells far about the price of the lower grades d hay. There are two grades of this straw. Some straw may be brought in loons, but practically it is all baled. The reQmime- men to for No. 1 rye straw, are that it shall be clean, bright, brig, soned, premed in bundles, well and securely baled. The bales of strew are .scall, larger than those of hay, and few if any are baled with the perpetual ; sewer.

This straw is used largely by horsemen for bedding, by florists and nurserymen for ki pecng flowers, plants and trees sad to a lees extent for other purposes. The exchange has given but omegrado of oat straw, and all not filling the re- quirements laid down for this grade would have to be sold on its merits. Thee requirements are that it shall be clean, bright, sound, well and securely baled. It is possible to bele this mon tightly than rye straw, but the bales usually seen vary httle from the others in sire. It is aced largely for packing purposes for each goods as crockery. glassware, eta Wheat straw is not graded, but differs but little from oat in the conditions to be met. 1t is used for mach the same purposes and usually sells for about the same price.
