There are from ewe to half a dozen strains of nearly every breed of fowls and there ie a vast difference between thorn to some inetnneee. We have ex- perimented with two different strains of the same breed, bale las of fowls being treated in pro. oisely the same manner, and have found one strain excellent layers and the other decidedly inferior, because they had not been carefully bred for a number of years empecially for (ass predation as the other lot of birds had. It should be remember- ed as an almost invariable rule that "like pi:educes like" with thoro' bred stook and your fowls will produce jut what they have been bred to produce. If with your strain of fowls everything has been stvorilleed to fancy points, you will doubblese get exhibition birds, but dont expect them to be phenomenal lay, ere. The folly of sacrificing everything to fancy points' is well illustrated in the ease rd the White Faced Blaok Spanieh, for years fanciers have been selecting for breeders the chicks that developed the best white feee, disoarding mauy chicks that in every point but the faoe were in. finitely euperior to the bird selected ; this practice continued year after year has had the effect of fixing the White faces most unmistakably and hes also ruined the breed physioally, rendering them tender and delicate and decidedly O fancy fowl instead of the vigorous raoe of prolific layers they originally were. Now had the W. F. B. Spanish been bred for their laying qualities, vigor aud size, paying no attention whatever to the white face, which, by the way, is an utterly useless feature,they would be bred to•day by thousands where dozens are not now to be found. Just so with any other breed of fowls or strain of that breed, if you oonstautly breed for one object you will certainly attain it in time and it is easier to develop the useful qualities of a breed of fowls than the useless and absurd ones. Plymouth Rooks could, in the course of years, be bred to beoome a white faoed breed. Standard birds of this variety have no white in the face, not even ao muoh as a piu's point, but occasionally a ohiok is hatched that develops a white ear lobe ; now by selecting these ehioks and breed. ing them together, rejeoting as breeders all birds without the white ear lobe, you would fled in time the white ear lobe would become a white few. Ae evidence of this it need only be mentioned that with some strains of Black Homburgs, which should have a white ear lobe but not a, white faoe, it is a aornmon aeon renoe for two.yeanold birde with large lobes be develop into a white face. To atteinpt to breed a white face on Ply. mouth Rooks would ruin the breed utter- ly and much move quickly than it ruined the Spneileh,beeetmee they natural- ly had a white face but not such an ex- tonsive one as we are =materna to see. It being an admitted fat that fowle will prodtioe nothing more or less than what they have boon bred for, you will be con- sulting your intereste by seleeting the breed that poduees in the greatest pen feetion that which you ate desirous of ataining.

The St, Peel, Minneapolis dc Omaha passenger train was held up on Satarchey night about one mile east of Kasota, Minn., by two masked men, who attempt- ed to rob the expras oar. The robbers got on the tender of the engine at St. Peter, and at a safe distanoe from the station they got down in the cab and ordered the engineer to stop the 'train. One of the men stood guard over the engineer and fireman, while the other went back to the express oar and rapped on the door. The messenger opened the door, thinking he had arrived at the station. As lie did eo he loolced into the barrel of a gun and was ordered to throw up his hands. The robber mid :— "Where is your gnard 7" The messenger answered : "There 0 no guard on the train." The robber got in the oar and ordered the messenger to open the safe. He did so. There was a large amount of money in the safe, but in opening it the messenger grabbed the money and dropped it behind the safe unseen by the robber. Seeing that the safe was empty the freebooters left the oar with curses and proceeded to the engine. The en• gineer and fireman were merohed up the beak about half a mile.
