They Are the Most Economical and Desirable For All Purposes. Occasionally one comes across a farmer who belleves that common scerub fowls are hardier and more prof- itable than the pure breds, but the number i8 getting less every year, says the Kansas Farmer. It costs no more after the first purchase to keep a flock of improved fowls than it does to har- bor dunghills or cross breeds. Either The majority of hen experts be- lieve that the Dominique was orig- inated by the Dutch settlers who founded New Netherlands. It came from a cross of Dutch Ham- burgs on native white and black fowls. It resembles the Barred Plymouth Rock. It is much like the Leghorn in_style, is longer in back than the Wyandotte, but re- sembles the latter in full, round breast and juicy, yellow tinged car- cass. The fowl pictured is a Domi- nique pullet. kind when properly fed will eat just about as much as the other. Or, if there be any saving, it is so trifling as between one or the other kind that it is not werth noticing. If judiciously provided for and tended from the shell upward, as all fowls should be cared for, any of the larger breeds will make good eating at the proper age, and the hens of any one kind will lay an abun- dance of eggs, take them on the aver- age, throughout the year. Among any of the pure breeds there will always be found some exception- ally good ones for breeding purposes or for exhibition. All these finer spec- imens will command the highest cur- rent prices among fanciers or ama- teurs who are about to commence the propagation of pure stock and who are disposed to pay better prices for such prime specimens. At the same time the imperfect birds as to form, color and other standard requirements come to good size at maturity and will pay much Dbetter for their keeping at the right killing age than will the runts of the small barnyard fowls, which cost quite as much to feed and to bring them to the proper state for slaughter- ing. The improved hens will in a season lay one-third more eggs and of a larger size usually than will the dunghills. As broilers the young cockerels of the heavy breeds are fitted for this pur- pose at a much earlier age and so are far more valuable in this respect than are the lesser sized or common varie- ties. In any view, then, it has come to be well determined that pure bred fowls are the most economical, the most val- uable and the most desirable for all purposes, and, although any of these better breeds cost a little more at the outset, the product they yield in twelve months in eggs and meat alone, say- ing nothing of the income that may he had from extra good specimens and for eggs for hatching purposes, will be found far more satisfactory and more profitable than will the same number of the ordinary dunghill breeds. To think or argue differently would cause to go for nothing all the labor and research that have been given to poultry culture for fifty years by ex- perts all over the country in poultry plants as well as in colleges. Their work has all been in vain if the pure breds are not better than scrubs. Grain Mixture For Hoppers. Our growing stock is always fed by the hopper method. A large self feed- ing, nonwasting wooden outdoor hop- per is placed halfway between two colony houses, These hoppers will this year contain the following grain mix- tures: Sixty pounds corn, Kaffir or milo; thirty pounds heavy oats, thirty pounds barley and thirty pounds good grade wheat screenings. The follow- ing dry mash mixture is found in an- other compartment of the same hop- per: Sixty pounds corn or milo meal, fifty pounds wheat middlings, thirty pounds wheat bran, twenty pounds oil- meal or cottonseed meal, forty pounds beef scrap and one pound salt. Grit, oyster shell and fine granulated bone are kept before them all the time in separate compartments of the same hopper. They are fed-all the milk, sweet or sour, that they will consume. —Texas Agricultural College Bulletin. Keeping Up the Flock. Unless you are line breeding you will do well to buy a vigorous cockerel of known good breeding-and introduce new blood into your flock each season. You will then be in no danger from in- breeding, the vigor of your flock will be kept up to a uniform standard, and you onght to get results. HOW TO ANSWER BLIND ADS.

He just finished an excellent well on the John Pogue farm, and farmers living in that section should get their or- ders placed before he moves to an- other section. Mr. Pogue decided on a three-way double acting Red Jacket force pump of the “So Easy to Fix” kind.
