The Wingham Advance, 1912-10-24, Page 3POULTRY NOTES UTIUTY QUALITIES Olt BUFF ORPINGTON'S, Of all general. 'Purpose varieties there tun be no doubt that the Buff Orpiege ton ranks very nearly at the top. It is largly bred la every eounty in England, as proved itself a firet case winter layer, and for table purposes will be most difficult to excel. Of late years wine people firmly believe that, the White Wyandotte has beaten it easily. So far as egg -production is eoncerried• tide may be quite correct, but the eize of eggs in Buff Opringtons is much bet- ter; they are also larger bird, and are, perhaps, ff anything, easier to rear, During the last few years rawly rivals have epruAg up to out the Buff Orping- ton from its proud poeition, and itts twin eister, the White Orpington, bees now be. come so popular that whole some poul- try breeders forecast that before many years have passed it will be even more popular than the Buff is to -day. When newly hatched. Buff Orpington chickens are easy to tell; the.y poseess single comb, are a bea,utifal golden color, and sornewhat cobby in hape. As mention- ed previously, they are extremely hardy and easy to rear, but no careless sys- tem will have t be carried out, or Leavy losses will be the re- sult. Good, well made coops with wood floors, rain and draught proof, ehould always be provided; combined with sweet grass, runs and suitable feed - Of late year the prominence of giving chickens nothing but dry food appears to have grown, but thie is simply be- cause of the case in whic& is can be eterved, and when a combination of soft and dry feeding is adopted, progress if undoubtedly better. At six to eight weeks old sozne of the chickens will be noticed to be almost bare of feathers. This is not a disease, but it is difii- cult to account for. By the time they are ten to fourteen weeks old, a proper pluana.ge will have 'been put on, and the axes may be separated. This is often rather a difficult proces's is some pul- lets will appear exactly like cockerels, and vke versa. The comb and tail, -which are good guides in non -sitters, are not as prominent in this variety. Buff Orpington cookerela ina,ke excel. lent table fowls when fed on suitable foods. It does not take them long to attain four or five pounds weight; the poulterer is always glad of them. The legs and flesh are of a. beautiful white color, and exactly suited to meet the requirements of the very best market. Some people believe in keeping a few *vulpine cockerels with the idea of selling them later as stock birds. This is a risky proceeding, as the demand is apt to prove very fickle, and if the yards are in the least over -crowded, disease . znay break out, and a lot of money may easily be lost. Xhe care of young pul- lets is a, subject worthy of best atten- tion. These should be allowed free range wherever possible, fed about three times daily, allowed as much as they tags, then progress will be rapid,, but if tan eat. housed in large, roomy build - some of the birds appear LLD though they will commence laying too soon, they ehould be kept on shorter rations for a time, as early egg -production generally end. disastrously. It is as a winter layer the Buff Or- pington has made a name, and even with anow on the ground, in the bleakest and most desolate parts of the country, I have seen where they lia,ve given good. Tesults. No scratching sheds have been provided, yet they have continued to fill the egg heehet. It is such breeds as this when of the right strain which make poultry keeping a thorough pleas- ure; not only that, but ample profit is sure to result where good management ia shown. During the breeding season ten hens will generally be ample for one male. Being on the heavy side it not 'wise to have too many birds' in the pen. The percentage of fertility will be greater and the chickens hatch much better if not more than ten hens are included. Should any reader feel . inclined to make a start with this var- iety, a glance at the advertisement columns of any poultry paper will at once show that breeding birds or good utility stock can be obtained at very moderate prices.—Canadian Farm. ••••••111•••••••••••••••• DTDIAN RUNNER DUCKS. There has been a very large increase ihe past year in the demand for Indian Runner dueks and eggs, and there is a much larger demand this year: Not alene is the trade with farmers increas- ing, but the city people are a,dcling them to their poultry yards. They are a most profitable fowl, and there are many points in favor of duck culture; chief among them their won- derful egg production. They lay more eggs in a year than any other fowl. They begin laying when young, often before six months old, and lay neerly every day during the year, except when moulting, and eoutinue for several years If given proper food. and attention. The eggs are large and fine foz table use, and positively are not strong to taste like other dude eggs. They command a, larger price on the market than hen eggs in many plaees. Indian Runners are quite hardy, and bear confinement. It is surprieing how many can be kept on a email piece of gound. If given the''r liberty they can pia up most of their living on. a good range, es they are greet foragers. The eggs from well-roated, non -related stock hatch well, and are easily raised. No lice, mites, eholera, chiggers, roup or drooping wings, no scaly legs or frosted combs, no dust bath required, no stretching in the garden and no flying fences. A tvvo-foot fence will be suffi- cient to keep them anywhere you want therm They do not requh'e water for swirtinatug, but must have plenty of drinking water at all times. The feathers are another item of in - *orate throtigh the summer, but plucking, if continued, diminishes the egg supply. There are gteat poseibilitiee for the breeding of Indian Runner ducks.

England is the most beautiful country In the world. Here, on this bright September morning, I am wan- dering aloug the high road to Dart- moor—along through the winding lanes of Devon. How fine are the trees, with the leaves turning to the golden tints of autumn. Overhead is the blue sky, and big, white, fleecy clouds are sailing by. And a lark is singing high up in the heavens. His song rings out aver the hillside; over the green meadows. And far ahead is the white road lead- ing on to the moors. The song of the lark—the wind. Ing lanes and the green fields and the bright blue sky overhead. I wonder why people ever live in towns at all. I wonder why thous- ands upon thousands crowd tb.eme selves together in that great metro- polis called London. Surely it is a mistake, and this civilization, with all its wonderful inventions and indoor philoeophy, is Imam u Irene gm( ao eaom 2untiou Surely the time will come when people will drop all this tomfoolery— will leave behind these gigantic bar- racks, and go out into the open— into God's sunshine—and live.

Will it make a man. healthy or wtll it make a man strong? Will it bring happiness? If not, what's the good of it For the first thing in life is to live. And if you are afraid of the rain and the snow and the sunshine—if you are afraid of a little hardship—you are not living. Christ taught us this nearly two thousand years ago, but we are for- getting it. And in spite of all the skyscrapers and wonderful inven- tions, we shall have to drift back to his teachings. We must live in the sunshine. ...* SUFFERERS FROM PILES ZAM-BUK HAS CURED THESE!

Welsh, Kineardine, in Canadian Farm.) In your synopsis of reasons advanced by your correepondents, one etubje,cb is brought to 011r attention.) viz., "Elimin- ate the Scrub." This is a, good, advice, and applicable to all domestie atimele, How to do this is the queetion. It takee very little ob- servation to know the beet, from certain standpoints, and yet the proem of elimination is elow. The ideal may not bring ehe expected reealte, and this nut,y be due to eonditione that can be reme- died, Thoroughbred and registsred etock will certainly bring better results than will a ecrub. The beet formed animal has not al- ways that prepotency desired, although loog pedigree is a very fair index of what is expected, conditions exist at times that make us doubt what the re - emit may be. We see a bull or heifer fed or finiehed fit for the shaireblee, and in a general way these animals get the prize. This to me is one of the worst features a the show ring. A good. growing, healthy condition is what we want. It is from ouch a condition the full vigor of the animal come; and. not from the over- )oad of fat we so often see. By the process .of piling on fat, weakness re. sults, the generative forces are impecied„ and there is lack of virility. This conelition, we often find in young animals, o -ver fed, and often attributed to teo much service. Heifers, too, under like condition, may become perffttly• narren' and the expectations of beautiul stockfrom the handsome heifer nipped in the bud. too, may disappoint in the same way, but probably the worat practice le to breed from a too young ball. l'rena one of this eort 1 would •not expect much better than from a poor grade. Same may differ, but my experience is that a wellsmaacured bull that has not been over fed, itt good healthy condition, leaves better etock than young eleulls, no matter what the pedigree may be. And 1 would never have a cow served by allele if a matured bull of the same breed could be got. This ie no idle fancy. Among sheep breedere, it has been known for a century that matured rams beget the etrongest lambs. A great fault amongst breeders of Shorthorns here is parting with the bull in its prime, and getting a bull calf to fill its ,phice. Whether in a bull, stallion, boar or ram, 1 would put very great weight upon the stock they left and retain as long as useful the animal freen which springe the best; and I WOLLIC, advise the selling as soon as possible to the butcher all ani- mals whose progeny is defective in any of the requirements of a pure bred, no matter what the pedigree may be. PARKING REQUIRES BRAINS. Success in dry farming is not for the shiftlese or the indolent. All farm- ing requires brains to make it profit- able, It involves hard work and plenty of it. Dry -farming is largely a matter of conserving the moisture from year to year. But this does not present insuper- able .difficulties. By proper management a tilled 'field can be made a reservoir through the aceumulation of moisture beneath the surface. The moisture which fella as rain or snow must be made to penetrate its surface, and when once imprisoned its escape by evaporation ust be prevented. Tillage is the means by which both these objects may be attained— breaking up the soil in the first place by deep plowino in order that the wat- er may sink into it, and stirring the surface so that a mulch of loose pow- dered earth may keep the channels of evaporation closed.

The Peking duck is of Asiatic origin, and was imparted to this country from Chiba thiety or more years a,go. Hudgeres saye a traveler who saw them about the streets of Peking mistook them for small white geese at first, but upon filleting that they were ducks were so agreeably impressed with their snowy -white plum- age and noble carriage that he secured some of their eggs. They were brought to Ilona. Kong and hatched, and in due time the birds wene E.hdpped in a vessel bound for New York. A number of the ducks died during the long sea voyage, but ftom the rest has sprung this popular breed that is now met with In nearly ev- ery State in the Union.

For the vicar's inventiou. is in the I form of a nose clip, or rather two nose clime one for each nostril. He showed this to an Uxpress representative last night.

"When they are fitted to the norm," explained the vicar, "the spring is ex- tended semi the nostrils expanded and fixed in position.

It was the story of the gailant defence of Dollard des Arrneaux and his sixteen heroes retold in realistic form at Johnson's Point, only a short distance from the actual epot where this thrilling episode took place in 1830. The hundreds of real Indians, relies of the Iroquois tribe, Were present in full war paint, armed with ancient weapons of various kinds, particularly the arrows„ some poisoned. The announcement of the approach of the Indians in the thou- sands was quietly taken up by Dollard, who asked for volunteers to set forth on their death journey to intercede the at- tacking tribe and depulsing them until each one of them was 'dead. Sixteen vol. unteered and the signing of the register was a pathetic scene before the little church at Montreal, demonstrating that they were ready to sacrifice their lives to save the village. Thus they set out, and twenty miles from Montreal erected a small stockade, awaiting the coming of the Indians. They were joined by forty- three Algonquits, who were a friendly tribe to the Frenchmen, and together they defended the stockade to the death. The approach of the Indians was realistio and made spectators feel creepy, but reere happy to know that it was a civi- lized country. The war cry of the att taekers sounded and resounded like a death knell on the little defending band. Once, nay, twice, were the Indians gale lantly repulsed, with little loss to the defenders, but the friendly Indians lost courage and deserted their comrades and joined the attacking force. Flaming arrows and spears and poisoned arrows were flying in many directions towards the stockade, and it was a reel wonder how everybody escaped injury in such a realistic performauce. The last stand was great but disastrous to the heroes. The defel;ders prepared a gun for dila eharging on the attackers, and. it Was rammed tight with powder. When hoist- ing it to the top of the steckade it fell back and exploded with terrific force, killing most of the little band. In the meantime the stoekade eaught fire, and it was a most thrilling eight. The burn- ing of the stockade, the fallirig of the gate, end the greet onrush of hundred of Indians to finish those surviving Was it repetition almost lifelike to what ac- tually occurred, and the scalping was a completion of it scene which was heart- rending, but fine from stage point of view. The Indians daneed round itt the defeuce of the early settlere of Can- ada and the stand they made egainst, the company. The pictures will be unloaded very shortly, ,and theatregoers will have Woodthirsty Indiens. an opportunity of realizmg to the full great jubilationi.t the deotruction of the French.

It thinks that the festivities of Christmas and the New Year are not the beet of prepara- tion for the selection of aldermen, There may be something in that. From the report of Dr. King, Chief As- tronomer for Canada, we learn that the total number of earthquakes ecorded. during the fiscal year of 1910 was eighty-six. The doctor states that near- ly the whole of Canada maybe regarded as a notaseLsmie area, and that the peo- ple need not be unduly alarmed over a slight shock now and then. 4. Tho The day of the old man is her again. The statement is made that the Penne sylvitnia railways have in their active service to -day more than four thousand employee's who are between, sixty and seventy years of age. It is further s4e.t- ed that neitb.er "pull" nor sentiment would keep these men in place if tb.ey, were not efficient. But it has been found that experience makes up for a lot of other things. 4-44 "Le Chicago girls are sold be white slavery like atteep on the market. More than 2,300 men make their living frora the earnings of these girls. To the men it is a. profiteble business." This asSer. tion was made by Dr. Mary O'Brien Per - ter, of Chicago, at the National Confer- ence of Catholic Charities in session at Washington. sta a, result of this state- ment the conference declared a nation- wide war against the evil to be directed by the Catholic women's organizations, The German workingmen's Govern- meut insurance has reached gigantic pro. portion% Out of 10,0003000 laborers in Germany 14,000,000 are carrying eiek insurance, 16,700,000 are carrying in- valid and. old. -ago insurance, and, with the artisans in small manufacturing es- tablishments included, 24,220,000 work- ingmen are carrying. aceident insurance. In every case there is not only a benefit paid in money for the loss, but at the same time prophylactic measures are fel- lowed. This is especially illu,strated,by the accident -preventive measures which everywhere is seen, the evidence of the higher valuatioa attached to the labor- er's life. • , 4 "Gilt out drinking; it will never bring you anything. Stay completely away from inamoral men. Slap their faeeS if they insult you, and always demand re- spect. If I had. done this I would be as happy as when I was 10 years old. If there- is no place to put me take me out itt the middle of the Detroit RiVer and drop me—good. riddance to bad rubbish." The above note was left bellied by a. young girl who committed suicide in Detroit last week, because she had Wan- dered from the path of rectitude an& honor and, found herself a castaway, without hope or self-respect. Surely the way of the transgressor is hard'. But what of those who dragged her down? 4 /- Homicide is inareasing in the United States. A series of homicide statistics published the other day in New York shows that thirty years ago the re- cords of 15 cities gave a homicide rate of 5.5 per 100,000 of population. Twenty, years ago 21 cities showed a rate of 42. In DOD the figures of 26 cities gave a rate of 5.5. In 1911 statis- tics of 28 cities showed it rate of 8.3. For the first decade the rate WaS 5.0. For the second 4.9, while for the lastit is 7.2. It appears that the homicide rate in the United States is far higher than the rate in Britain; that it is declining in the Western States, rising in South- ern and Central States and declining in astern States. No doubt one came of the itereasing number is the fact that punishment so seldom follows the com- mittal of the crime. At an, evangelists' eonference hi the Moody Institute, Chicago, evangelists were accused of tsing most of the de- vice e adopted by the fakir and the fly- by-night promoter by members of the profession who have refused to 1180 such methods or who have repented of them. Among practices condemned aro: Boost. ing "free will" offerings in auctioneer's fashion. Posing for pictures in imita- tion of vaudeville artiete. Lying about the number of conversions made.
