There is no best breed of chickens, Per-ouai likes and dislikes usually de- termine the breed which is kept.

If the schoo!boy cannot figure up how many tons of hay there are in a k; how many bushels of corn a agon bed or a corncrib will hoid; what a load of hogs will bring, etc., theorizing is good, but practical knowl- edge is better. Riding on a manure spreader has assisted many a man to where he could ride in an automobile. Diversified farming is all right, but as the blacksmitn who gets too many irons in the fire is sure to take the almost sure to butcher most of them up and achieve very little success at any one of them. It has come to a point when one must specialize. Don’t shell the seed corn yet, but allow it to dry out thoroughly before removing it from the cob and storing it. Ifitis put away while there is any moisture in it, that is almost sure to freeze later on, causing a weaken- ing of the germinating qualities, and often ruining it entirely. Or, where the seed is damp, and putaway where it will not freeze, mold is apt to result. Changing the rations of any animal should be done very gradually. Now is a good time to examine the in the “feel’’ and the “‘ring’’ of the corn that was picked early and thor- oughly dried and what was picked at will make ice in the hottest weather | 1 at an expense so small that itis hardly worth mentioning. Pipedreams some- times come true, but the farmer who has an ice house will be on the safe side if he lays in a supply in the good old-fashioned way.

They are said to be excellent egg producers, and, having the same color of skin as the Rocks, are as popular for market poultry, The Rhode Island Red is an exceed- ingly popular breed. They are ap- proximately the same weight as the Wyandottes, are extremely hardy and do not possess as great a tendency to take on fat as the Rocks. The breed is also more vigorous and active, and the long body is conducive to greater egg production. The carcass is not as fine in appearance, nor as compact and deep as the two previous breeds, fowl the Leghorn is decidedly unpop- ular, In considering poultry from the market standpoint, yellow skin is pre- terred. White, buff or red plumage is also productive of a better appearing carcass, especially when pin feathers occur. Long, deep bodies, a broad, well-fleshed breast and long keel are desirable features. The finer the skin the better.
