Show UTAH UNTY PROGRESS, CASTLE DALE, BOttBg j Wmmmm Frocks of Knitted Fabric; -- Real Meaning of Term "Sports" Not Understood The real meaning of the term "sports," as applied to fowls, Is not quite understood by a good many Now, in breeding poultry keepers. many varieties there will often come a chicken that is contrary to the parent birds, and the reason for this sometimes seems very strange. For example, those who have bred Silver Laced Wyandottes know that frequently a white one, and occasion ally a black one, will be produced. and it was tbe breeding together of these sports that gave us the two distinct colors, the White Wyandotte and the Black Wyandotte, as we know them today. Where very lightly laced birds are used there is a greater tendency to white, and Just the opposite when a very heavily laced bird is used, the sport here coming black. Partridge Wyandottes will also throw a few white ones, and those who breed them in big quantities will produce perhaps four or five white ones dur ing the year. Another common example of "sports" is found in tbe fact that oftentimes a rose comb breed will throw a single comb fowl. There Is always an occasional tendency in this direction, und it does not prove that the parent stock Is bad, nor that It does not measure up to the required purebred standard. Many of our present-dabreeds are the results of working from sports. The black Plymouth caine first from the barred, and for years no one ever heard of a male chicken coming black, these being all females. Today we have a distinct breed known as the Black Rock. It is probable that all of our more thnn a fiundred modern varieties of poultry descended from the one kind of original Jungle fowl. In fact, most of our dow numerous varieties have been created during the past 40 or The old breeds, like the 00 years. Black Langshans, do not often produce sports, for the reason that they have been bred pure for many hundreds of years, perhaps for thousands of years. But modern breeds, such as the Orpingtons, Rhode Island Reds, etc., are given to producing sports. y AAKTV "I have a suggestion to make," said the Polar Bear to Blllle Brownie.

A very good multipoint switch can be made by pinning to tbe panel as many points as wanted in a circle and also one at the center of the circle, and then with the two halves of the fastener soldered onto a strip of copper at a distance equal to the radius of the circle a switch arm can be made. The fastener in the center makes a good swivel and when the right point of the switch is found In tuning the other fastener can be that are sold "This Is My Suggestion." g, Poultry Notes GRAHAM. 'BONNER. Wardrop POLAR BEAR'S SUGGESTION Movable Roosting Coops Good for Young Fowls When the chicks are old enough to leave the brood coops and when they are weaned from broody hens or brood-erthey grow so rapidly that they need more room. To meet this requirement, poultrymen use what are known as roosting coops. These are tructures about six feet long, three feet wide, three feet high in front and two feet high at the rear. They have waterproof roofs, but the front side and one end, or the front side and two . ends, are covered with wire so that the air can circulate through freely in warm weather, but hostile animals cannot get in. To keep out driving rains or for use tn cooler weather, particularly when the chicks are first put in and the nights are chilly, curtains of cloth or burlap are attached to the tops of the pen sides so that they can be rolled flown and fastened to protect the chicks when necessary. The curtain covering each side is made separate from the others so that much or little space may be left open according to requirements and according to which way the wind blows or the storm drives. Thes little buildings should be movable and it is a good plan to place them on skids with rounded ends so that they can be drawn from place to place, thus affording a fresh, new location every day or two. Many poultry keepers block up these little houses so that there is a spnee between the floor and the ground which affords a cool, shady place for the chicks during hot day. i edited by u.

"That's true," said the Polar Bear.

"He spent many years thinking up the best way to do about the weather and he decided that the best way was to have plenty of variety.
