E, point Under tbe above title the Maine agricultural experiment station has issued Bulletin 191, which summarises all of the results of the experiments which have been carried on at the station during the last II years la attempting to improve by breeding the average egg production of a strain ol Barred Plymouth Rock poultry.. An account Is given of tbe results of tha earlier experiments In selecting ' the highest producers as breeders without regard to any other qualities - than their trap nest records. It Is shewn that this plan of breading failed to obtain any distinct Improvement In flack production. . Tha experiments of the station to find put whether continued artificial Incubation and brooding has a harmful effect on egg prodnctlosius described. Tha effect of Inbreeding on agg production Is discussed cm tbp basis of extensive experimental records. This Is followed by n clear and simple explanation of a new plan of breeding which baa been tried during the past five years, and which la baaed upon the conception that high egg productiveness Is inherited' In certain "blood lines" and not in others, and that by a proper system of pedigree selection It Is possible to isolate tbe high producing lines. Tbe last section of the bulletin is devoted to an exposition of tbe gratifying success which haa attended the application of this new plan of breeding to the station flock. . Strains which have high egg productiveness fixed as a definite character have now been obtained and era being propagated at tha station. ... . U. A LAND OFFICE. Federal Building. Register, E. D. R.

Miss Frances Donovan , TEACHER 'Grantsville Of s PIANO 2 Utah Apoplexy among fowls Is generally confined to the overfat birds and generally tbe heavier breeds are subject to It. It Is, therefore, necessary that the keeper does not feed any great feeds to his quantity iff birds, especially to tbe heavier breeds. In tbe spring of the year more than any other time 'of the year the birds should have a variety of feeds, and especially a great deal of feed reasonably rich in protein should he Included Jn the ration. ' d eggs are usually produced in considerable numbers at this time of tbe year. The reason for this generally lies in the fact that the birds do not get the proper feed. To form an egg shell the proper materials must be present and If they are not present the softs belled egg is the result Lime Is one of tbe necessary materials needed In the formation of an egg shell, and at this time of the year, when the hens are beginning to lay, a liberal amount of lime should be present at all times where they can partake of It when they desire. In providing any kind of feed whether it be vegetable or animal feed, be sure that It la pure and wholesome. Musty grains and rotten meats will cause sickness many times when the flock is In perfect health. Soft-shelle- Guineas as Watchers. A good point shout guineas is that they make a good watch dog. Every person who writes of these fowls mentions this point, but a good thing will bear repeating. In common with wild birds, they are always on the lookout for enemies, and qtrickly detect hawks, dogs, strange persons, etc., that venture near. Their, wild cries on such occasions soon put the Intruders to rout, and also put all the fowls on the place on their guard. If hawks are numerous n few guineas In the flock will prove of great help In preventing their depredations. . i Laying In Winter. . Almost every hen running at large lays In the spring and lays. well, the poultryman can provide these conditions through 'winter, his hens srlll lay then the same aa they do laterally In the spring. Gass Pay ' Well. No kind of poultry keeping can he carried on at so small an expense for buildings and equipment as that of raising geese, because of tbe hardiness of the birds, and their desire to remain In tbe open air. mg well.

Of course, the chickens will climb on top of the flat board, but from it they can not reach the trough. s rare production. The breeding season will be upon us now before we have had time to think. The Indian Banner duck Is not Inclined to fatten so readily as .other varieties. It Is estimated that It requires the feathers from about ten ducks to J . make n pound.. Full fed hens, having n well balanced ration, will lay larger eggs than hens on stinted feed. ' A warm house does not mean that It be airtight Laying hens must have fresh sir at all times of the year. ' By this time you, should have your spring breeders and the cockerel with which they kre to pe mated selected.' The Indian 'Runner duck, Is not a new variety, although it is not as old aa some of the other varieties , of ducks. Duck eggs are in demand by confectioners, as they Impart, a glaze to their Icing, which cannot he had with hen eggs. The critical; period of the turkey Is the first eight weeks of Its , life. About 48 eggs is the average yearly record of the. hen. With many flocks, the addition of an ample supply iff meat to the ration will cause a marked Increase In the else of the egg.
