Are Whites In Any Way Superlor?-110W the New Breeds Originated. '1. Aro the White Plymouth Rocks superior to the Barred as general pur- pose farm fowls? If so, in what respect? 2. Are White Wyandottes superior to the Silvers and Gbldeus? If so, why?. 3. Which of thelaaghorn breeds is su- per* for general purposes and why? 4. How aro those newer breede originated? 5. What of the Buffs in the different breeds? The foregoing queries wereareplied to as follows in The Rural New Yorker: P. H. Jacobs said: 1, 2,8. There is no difference whatever in the breeds named, except in color. Any claim made for one is also made for the oth- ers. They are alike in hardiness, size, market quality and prolificacy. 4. Usu- ally they are said to be sports, but the majority originate from the selection of those which approach nearest to the desired color. Sometimes crossing is resorted to. Such breeds (?), however, are in no anaamer uniform. 5. Some of them are new and not firmly estab- lished, but they differ in quality, when perfect, from other kinds in color only. James H. Seely considered (1) the whita•Plymouth Rocks superior as a ta- ble fowl, especially as young chicken, for they don't show the dark pinfeather- ing when dressed. Be said: 2. The same reason applies to the Wyandottes as to the Plymouth Rocks. They are about equal as layers, but the white are su- perior for market. 8. With the same treatment, there is little difference. . They are poor as table fowls. The dark ones, when not in perfect feather, make- s very poor showing. The White Leg - horns are not equal to the Plymouth Rocks or Wyandottes for table use, but think they are a little larger than the dark or colored varieties of Leghorns. 4. The new breeds aremostly sports, but some: of them are made by crossing with - other breeds. They require close in- breeding to make them breed true to color, and. consequently are rather deli- cate or some time until new blood can be obtained from other yards. I would not advise a new beginner to try them until they had been thoroughly tried and proved all right by older breeders. 5. The Buffs are a new diversion and may prove to be of great value in a few years, but at present they are rather weak and imperfect. The White Plymouth .Rock is not su- perior to the Barred for any practical purpose, says Henry Hales, who ex- plains where the "White" comes from. Select birds from either the barred or laced breeds withaanore than usual white, mate them iffd. select the whit- est till the progeny become white. But a shorter cut is to mate a Barred Plym- outh Rock or a Wyandotte to a white bird, especially if the white one is of no special breed, and select from their progeny the best types in white, until the ideal form, color of legs, size,. comb, -etc., are attained. There appears no doubt but that such white fowls have been used to hasten the permanency of the perfect white of many varieties. As a matter of fact, the birds show it, as few of the white birds of most varie- ties are a perfect type of the original colored. breeds. As to "which of the Leghorn breeds is superior for general purposes, none of them can lay claim to that quality, as they are Door sitters, if not nonsit- ters, and. are not much esteemed as ta- ble fowls. As layers they are unsurpass- ed. The White lay the largest eggs. The Brown lay a few more eggs in a year, but their eggs are smaller than the Whito. As to tho making of Buff Leghorns, it would not be as necessary to cross on a buff of auy breed, as there are so many yellowish fowls in this class that selections for a few years wauld soon bring a buff variety. 3 mos. - $1. 50 1 65 1. 75 185 If the advertiser elects to chance not oftener than once per month, a reduction of 20 per cent: will be - made on the above quoted prices.

PM. 25 CTS .THEDON'S Slacociig THE POULTRY YARD& Purify the Huns and Ecep the Ilirdt Healthy—Methods of Purification. • Many poultry men who keep their fowls confined to small yards cleau the poultry houses, but never seem to think it necessary to purify the yards. If sickness visits their. fowls, it is a mys- terious dispensation of Providence, fox have they not kept the houses clean': They do not think of the yards, whose soil has become impregnated with the droppings of the fowls, and upon which a green thing is never permitted te grow. Following are methods of puri- fication recommended by The American Agriculturist; First—Where it is possible to do sc seed the yard down to grass or °lova and let it bealaa crop one year or raise upon it a crop of vegetables. -Of course this necessitates two yards for the fowls, a plan that cannot always be pursued. Or one can, with a movable - fence, cut off the fowls from the larger part of the yard and sow that to some qui& grow- ing crop, like oats, and. when it has grown five or six inches high let the fowls in upon it. Or one can spade the yard in sections, sowing oats at each spading, and thus secure a little growth from them and a succession of growths of green food for the fowls. A growing crop for one season puts the soil in ex- cellent c,ondition for the fowls, the crop removing just the elements that were Injurious to the fowls. Second—Spading up the yards every few weeks, either in sections or all at once, turning up the soil to the action of the sun and air. Air is the best dis- infectant we have, and plenty of it will help to rob the soil of the elements poi- sonous to the fowls. Spading will do for a few years, but after a time it will not be sufficient. Third—The removal and. casting away of several inches of the soil and replacing it with fresh earth. It would pay 4 gardener to. do this, as the soil removed is rich in fertilizing matter, but few have Viten fortunate enough to find the gardener to do this. But even If one has to go to the expense of the re- moval it pays better to do it than to have a lot of sick and. therefore unprof- itable fowls. Fourth—Temporary relief can be had by sowing the yards with land plaster. This will hold the injurious emanations and keep the air in a healthful condi- tion. Fifth—The soil can be disinfeeted by a thorough drenching with sulphate of copper diluted in water, about one pound of the former to a hundred gal- lons of the latter. The soil should be thoroughly drenched. Of all these meth- ods tho simplest is the best—raising a crop upon the yard. he Kippen Mills TO THE FRONT AS USUAL. , Th e Kippen mills are now running at full blast and are prepared to dip GRISTING on the shortest notice, and most reasonable terms.

Life's Unwritten Melodies. A writer in Womankind says: "I would rather leate my children the remembrance of bouts spent together around the lib;ary table, of books we have read, of walk* we have taken and of drives we've enjOyed than I would leave to them siinplylthe legacy of beruilled petticoats and elabo- rately worked doilies. Life is full of am 'written melodies, and we women are as yet learning only its nursery rhymes,: yet In their jingle there is a rhythm which dances between the sober lines of ev*y- day prose. They soften many a stubbern -fact and brim with sweetness many a is - appointment." Shall We Paint Beehives? This ever recurring question was agitated at a convention of beekeepers. Here is the discussion as reported in The American Beekeepers' Journal: Mrfrines—I believe that they should not be painted. Unpainted hives throw off the moisture through the pores of She wood. Mr. Kimble—Hives should be painted to keep the joints close and covers from warping. Mr. Hines—Won't the wax attend to that all right? Mr. Kimble—Open joints increase chances of moth and robber bees. All hives should be painted white—a non - heat condensing color. If a hive is to be porous to carry off moisture, raise the cover or raise tho hive up from the bottom board. Mr. Hines—That is a different kind of ventilation. Frank Coverdale—Bees winter best in hives that are not painted. , Mr. Merritt—i agree with the ma- jority, that for wintering the hives should not be painted. However, I like to see nice hives. Keeping Hillsides In Sod. On tillable, side hill land. there is usu- ally a heavy loss every time the land is newly plowed, as the ram of even a moderate shower is not absorbed as fast. as it fall, but by its own gravity rushes down the hillside, carrying with it much of the surface soil, and if the'soil be soft often deep gutters are formed. Now, American Agriculturist says that if such slopes were well seeded to tim- othy or clover but little injury would. result, and if properly managed a tim- othy sod may he kept in good condition on side hill pasture land for many years. Usually the soil in such places is natu- rally thin; hence previous to plowing ap- ply fertilizer in some form, preferably well rotted barnyard manure. This will keep the timothy in good health for many years. Should any portion become thin let the whele grow to a height of six or eight inches, when either com- mercial fertilizer or well rotted manure can be applied to the thin portions. Thus guarded, even heavy rains will not carry much fertility away, but cause it to lodge against and become absorbed by the growing plants. Hillsides should never be.pastured very closely.

As an exchange remarks, She fallacy of this may be easily proved by putting a thermometer in front of an elec- tric fan. A man is cooled. by fanning himself because his face throws off heat, chnd this is carried away by new air. A thermometer throws off no heat, ami you ay fan it for an hour without making e slightest change in its register as long as no new cold air is admitted into the room. Agricultural News and. Notes. The United States ornithologist Is anxious for the termination of the Eng- lish sparrow. He proceeds to extremes In his instruction for the accomplish- ment of this feat and says the most ef- fectual method of getting rid of them is to douse the ivy grown walls, where the nests and the partly grown birds are, with hose pipe. The Association of Aanerican Agri- cultural Colleges and Experiment Sta- tions will hold its convention of 1894 at Washington Nov. 13. In tallow melting establishments a large amount of refuse, so called "tank water," is thrown away.It contains a valuable element, gelatin. A patent has lately been granted for a method of utilizing the above waste preduct. A Fertilizer Test. In a summary of four years' experi- menting on the same plot with fertili- zers on corn, sweet potatoes, cowpea,s and wheat in rotation, A. T. Neale, Delaware station, reports: Each crop in this rotation was offered every possible combination of nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash. Corn yielded most abundantly with nitrate of soda and muriate of potash, the sweet potatoes 1 cowpeas yielded best on a crimson clover sod dressed with muriate of pot- ash and acid phosphate, and the wheat i an experiment station at which electric - ave the best return with -nitrate of soda ity is to be tested. as a motive power d in all the branches of cultiVation of the soil in which horsepower is used. Millions of 17 year locusts overrun many farms and gardens of the eastern states. The American Society of Irrigation Engineers will meet in aenual session in this city during the national irriga- tion congress in. September and will dis- cuss international irrigation. laws. In this age of inoculation the latest proposition is to inoculate plants like corn with bacteria from clover or other plants that lave the power of taking nitrogen from the air. These "nitro- gen absorbing" bacteria are to so stimu- late cern that it will gather rather than spend nitrogen. The retirement of Dr. C. V.

One break- fast at a big hotel will introduce you to every phase of the orange eating industry. Some spoil their oranges by sprinkling pul- verized sugar on them and- then scooping the pulp with a spoon. Some peel the orange and eat it slice by slice out of the hand. Some cut it into squares or eighths and squeeze the juice out in sections, while others simply make a round opening and suck the juice of the fruit. _Many people refuse oranges in public because they do not knew which is the proper way- to est them, lind there is nothing that an awkward per- son can appear more ridiculous at than in eating an orange.

CAPITAL (PAID UP) SIX MILLION DOLLARS $6,000,00q- $ 1.200,000 I think it is safe to follow the theory that nothing but the knife should be. applied to fruit and that any way of eating it grace- fully from the hand is all right. Certainly the spoon method is silly--ahpost as idiotic as sticking the fork through the hard mid- dle fibre and eating the juicy sphere away tail nothing is left but the fibrous cone at its centre. I imagine that the people who take hold of an orangehalve it, and halve it again and then swallow everything except the seeds and skin and don't care a snap who's looking, get most enjoyment out of the fruit.—St. Louis Glohe-Deineerat.
