5-10-12 eager, active, watchful crowding close for food and darting here and there In search for.lt, yet always keeping a safe distance from' every one. Few breeds, indeed, can excel them In this respect. So much for what they are; now for what they are not. They are not large no one would claim that; but they are not as. small as they look, for tbelr feathers lay close and smooth, giving them a bird-like appearance, deceiving as to slzo.

But however much or little there Is of them, it Is good eating, and when well fattened and nicely dressed they sell better per pound than the over large kinds. But therels a tendency to breed them larger, and as a result some strains are considerably larger than others. However, they are not and never will be a large breed. They are not easily confined ndr kept outside of unprescribed limits. No 30-lnch fence will hold them, nor will if keep them out of yards or gardens, and if there is a hole In fence or gate they wlir find ic.

On the other hand, they are not easily starved especially with prospective food In sight. And it Is this very foraging tendency that makes them so valuable, as they are In many respects. The remedy lies In building fences respectably high and In keeping them respectably good. A four foot fence will keep them either In or out, especially If one wing is clipped, as It easily may be. Gardens, If unfenced, can be put some distance away.

They cannot withstand winter hardships like rabbits, but few farm animals, except chickens, are expected to. Some of the larger breeds, with their fluffy feathers and flattened combs, may do better at It, but none can go through the winter without suitable protection and return a respectable profit. But Leghorns do not require coddling. A pouitryhouse as well built as the ordinary cow stable will suffice. A house equal to the horse stable In a modern barn will fill all requirements.

Theyare not perfection embodied. Neither Is anything else In this wide world. If they wore they would be out of harmony with their environments. But they have many good qualities so many that their few bad ones can be In a measure overlooked. S.

4-10-12 EXPERIENCE WITH LEGHORNS. For, nineteen years I have bred Leghorns, and my father bred them before me, says Mrs. Millie Ilonakcr. I have had number of strains, kept them under all kinds of circumstances, and experimented with them In many ways; so I fuel at last as though I know fairly well what they are and what they are not. To begin with, they ore good layers, both summer and In summer they do especially well, even under adverse circumstances.

They begin laying early In the spring and keep at It until late In the summer. Then, after resting a little they go at It again In the fall. They do not lay every day, of course, but they do not miss many. In small flocks In breeding pens I usually get every day eggs to within two or three of the number of bens confined And others to my knowledge do as well. Only a few days ago a woman told me of getting all summer from 16 to 18 eggs a day from a flock of 20 leghorns and these In confine ment In a city back yard.

And they do equally well In winter, If conditions are favorable- I have had them begin laying freely the first of January and keep It up constantly all winter. One winter I filled my Incubator with 280 selected eggs tho 10th of January all strictly fresh, of course. And early In February I filled It again all from a single small flock. Other winters I have had them do just as well; so I feel justified in calling them good winter layers. They are non-sitters.

Old hen3 will sometimes become broody, but pullets very rarely, and any that do, whether old or young, are easily broken up. With some of tho larger breeds It Is necessary to maintain a sitting hen prison, but I have never yet shut up a Leghorn hen to break her from sitting. With Incubators and brooders, which we must have, whatever the breed, broodyjiens are an unnecessary nuisance. They are easy keepers. This Is probably because they are small and good foragers In winter they require, of course, daily grain rations, but they are especially fond of vegetables and scraps of all kinds, which reduces the cost of keeping.

And every day when they can be out they rush to the straw piles, hay sheds and stables, and scratch for all they are worth, in that way getting enough to help materially. In summer, with a little grain once a day, they will make their own living. And It is surprlslng where and how far they will go In search of food. In the orchard, behind the plow, and in distant fields and groves they will rove, scratch and pick. Their eggs are largely fertile.

Perhaps because of their active nature and foraging tendencies, they keep in better health and obtain a greater variety of food than they otherwise would, and this In turn accounts for the strong fertility of their eggs. I hav rarely had a poor batch of Leghorns, although I have sometimes had other eggs in the same machine with them hatch very Even in winter my Legorn eggs have always hatched well, and almost Invariably those to whom I sell them for hatching report good results. Chicks are hardy and vigorous. They feather out remarkably early and this is probably, one reason why they are able to withstand'all kinds of weather, as they do. And their activity perhaps accounts in part for their vigor.

But however It is, I frequently raise nearly all of a hatch, even in early spring' Out of the first 280 eggs mentioned above I raised 233 chicks, and It was remarkable how healthy and vigorous they were. I have, In fact, seldom had a sickly or stunted Leghorn chick. They grow rapidly and mature early. Side by side with chicks of larger breeds, I have had the Leghorns practically keep up In size till nearly grown. And always the Leghorn cockerels crow and the Leghorn pullets lay first.

And they make good broilers at an early age. My April cockerels I always sell In June for broilers, at which tmie they usually weigh from one and a half to two pounds, and that without special For these I generally get from $5 to $6 per dozen. They are handsome, especially in larga flocks. It is hardly possible to Imagine more pleasing sight than a large flock of. pure bred Leghorns; Hhe hens within theli soft brown plumage and great drooping combs like forgeous flowers set on top ol their heads, and the roosters with their brilliant red and black feathering and erect, flaming combs, dazzltngly, conspicuous, all DONT PAY TWO FRICES-i FOR STOVES A RANGES You Save (18.00 to (ui.00 oa Hoosier BARRED and white Plymouth Rocks.

S. Most farmers are familiar with the ordinary- forms of sore mouth In young pig3 which Is a comparatively slight ailment and readily cured. It is Indicated by redness and swelling of the gums and lining membranes of the mouth and may result In a few shallow ulcers. Dipping the head of the affected pig over and over again daily In a warm 2 per cent solution of permanganate of potash usually suffices to quickly restore normal conditions of the membranes, provided the pigs occupy clean pens, jtre properly fed, have good constitutions and are sufficiently exercised. It is.

an altogether different matter, however, when pigs are kept in filthy quarters, where they are fed Improper food and are deprived of adequate exercise, sunlight and fresh air. A filth germ, known as Bacillus Necro-phonous, usually Is prevalent. in such places and finding access to small cuts or sores upon the membranes of the mouth and skin of the nose quickly produces deep eating WHITE ROCKS Exclusively; bred for nine years.
