Whenever he went the barn stood ba.clt of him and gave him support and influence. He could say and do things to the ether bee% that they 'would not dare say or do to one another, sitnply bemuse the boy he said or did things to could see the barn door behind him, open or closed, as the case might be, To be one of these entitled 'to ad- mission to the barn was to be in the right set; to be denied the privilege of playing in the barn Was to suffer soc- ial ostracism. Sonletimes the boy whose father had a barn enjoyed a monopoly. Theie he was the recognized aristoerat among the boys of the street of the neighbor.; hood. Sometimes a rival appeared' in the person of a new boy whose father had put up a new -and larger barn than had before been seen in that euarter, or sometimes the father of a boy who had ne barn to begin with became better off and put one up.

QUALITY AND WEIGHT. All of the its:atle breeds are raised eft- peoially ror the prodaction of mea/. Their laying qualities are way belew the average of LeghOrns and other eggeare- ductile; fowls. But they are much heav- ier. Then, too, the quality of their flash makes them eivecially desira.ble tor table uee. Large fowls bave lesa waste pro. portionately; they are served to better aferantage than smali ones. While several of the dual-purpoae fowle aro raised mainly for tinier* flesh. they ehould not b. claased with the dise tinct meat breeds. Under favorable_oon- ultions, Rocks, Bade and Dottee lay a Jaeger number of eggs, whicat warrante placing them le an Jatermediate class. But, what is said. of the' meat epithet* also in part to eualieurpose fowls winch are raised primarily for table use. All of these fowls help,materially leerette- ing our meat supply and in maintaining the American StRhatra Of living. goat calekens are more compact in form than any otaer kind ot aorneetic fowls. They are broader and deeper• in body and fuller in breast; they bitVe ahorter lega, wings and necks; their greatest usefulness lies in their large, plump bodies. The males aually weigh about twelve pounds and the hens about' 9 1-2 pounds. Theee weights comer° favorably. with the average -size turkey' sold for the holiday. trade. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS. All heavYe breeds of fowls axe slow in movement and uot easily excited. With cereful management they become very tame and: do not object to being. handled. Being too heaver to xly easily, only a low fence is requIred for their pens. They are not good forager% even wnen they have a wide range. ln radt, they have little desire to wanderegar from home, They are truly "domestic" birds. For these reasons the meat breeds should be reale- tarty fed, retiree' than be allowed to shift for themselves. If aiven their liOerty they will trespass littie ore the premises of neighbors; they make good lawn fowls.. As previously mentioned, the leaking qualities of the Asiatics are, eblow the average, As- a rule they do not compare favorably even with dual-purpose fowls. The usetul qualities in fowls are meat and eggs. But both Lc not appear to appear to pereeetion in any breed. If wee quality is well developed, the other Ja us- ually lowered. Ileace,..the Asiatics are meat producers at the. expenee of eSS production. At the game time, 13rahma pullets are fair winter layers if hatched sufficiently early to reach. maturity before winter sets in. The meat breeds mature alow- IY. For this reason tne chicks are thought to be more delicate than those from th eldediterranean breeds, whereas they simply require more time to pais the early and more critical period et their life, If the chicks are kept 417, warm and clean, they can be raised, as easily as other clacks. BRAHMAS THOUGHT BEST. Light Brahma.s have been particularly popular for years. A distinctive feature is their pea -comb, This bets beea de- scribed aa the union or three singe combs, the middle part being larger than the other two, and each having distiact serratious. Brahmas have a yellow skin and legs; the outside of the al/welts are feathered. The chicks On not feather as rapidly, as theese of the more active fowls. Dark Brahmas are nto consideerd as good lay- ers as Light Brahmas. Both varietiee make good tatters and mothers. All Asiatic breede lay brown -shelled eggs, tome of which aro quite dark. Brahma cockerels are hardy; gain rap- idly in weight, and are as tender and iteicY as ctimns. The meat, 'while of good quality, Is not thought equal to -the flesh of the Dorking. They do well in small yards and are espeeially*valuable tO the bask letter. COCHIbTS AND LANG•SHANS. These two breeds are -Chinese fowls. They were brought to Europe about the middle of the Ittet century when the parts of China were opened to foreign trade. They are about one pound light- er than Brahmas. They are essentially tacooble birozlem. like good sitter and are eas- ily managed. They are slow and awk- ward in movement. Afte rthe Chicks get a good start they are hardy, -grow fast and furnish large quantity of meat. Tile young make excellent broilers or fryers. Cochins are peaceably inclined, ahd flourish in small pens. They do well where dual-purpbee and active breeds would not thrive Tot lack of- exercise. Buff Coehins are the most ponder. They withstand cold weather well beeause of their -abundanee of feathera. eLangshans have not been bred langelY in .America until recently. They stand cold weather well, are good winter lay- ers, and lay more eggs than the Cochin% They are the smallett of the Asiatic breeds. They have a -white skin and dark shanks. The flesh -Is fine -greened and of excellent flavor. They ferage better than Brahmas or Cochins and tor this reason do better on farm% Lang- shane are steadily growing in !popularity and more closely approach the dual-pur- pose breeds. FA.VEROLLES ARE FA.VORITES. As previoutly stated, the loaverolle Is . a cross -bred fowl. *As a moat bird it is te favorite in France, where it is exten- sively raised, having supplanted the Hou- dan and other breeds- for table use.
