. Breed of Fowls Tliat Is Growing'
Rapidly In Popularity.
If 1 should venture the statement
that this is already the most important
breed of fowls before the American
public, it would doubtless meet the
scorn of many who have failed to take
note of wliat lias been going on within
a few months’ time here in New Eng
land. The cloud in the sky which a
short time ago a man’s hand could
have covered has now acquired the
funnel shape which betokens a cyclone,
for at the last Boston exhibition there
were 9S single entries and 18 breeding
pens, a total of 1SS specimens as
against 150 of Barred Rocks.
There are two principal reasons, each
conclusive in itself, to warrant the ex
pectation of great popularity for this
new' old breed. First; it is gradually
being adopted on poultry farms in the
east, where the cnly-eonsideration in
choice of breeds is the one of returns

GEESE FOR MARKET.
Pointers From 1S97 Report of Rhode
Idand Experiment Stution.
Green goslings are never draw’n for
market.
In picking mongrel geese the tail
feathers should be left on the bird.
Young geese should be well fed the
night before they are to be killed for
market.
Care should be taken not to tear the
flesh, as tlie skin of some goslings is
very tender.
Removing the pinfeathers one by
one is of course a slow' process, but it
l-.as to be done that the birds may pre
sent a good appearance.
In picking only the salable feathers
are put into the box, the wing and tail
feathers and soft pinfeathers being
thrown upon the floor.
Before packing the goslings should
be removed from the barrels of ice wa
ter and laid upon boards or benches to
allow the water to drain from them.
The room to be used for dressing
geese should be provided with a box to
receive the feathers at which two pick
ers can conveniently sit, one on each
side.
For killing a stout knife with a dou
ble edged blade about four inches long
tapering point something the shape
jf a dagger blade is commonly used.
A common shoe knife is most conven
ient for removing pinfeathers and
should be kept very. sharp,' as a razor
edge is necessary to do quick and satis
factory work.
jriie feathers should be picked from
the lower third of the neck, leaving
about two-tbirds of the length of the
neck next to the head unpicked. The
wing feathers beyond the first joint are
also left.
Scalding is seldom practiced where
birds are to be shipped and kept for
some time before being sold, but where
birds are slaughtered for immediate
sale in a nearby market the picking is
made very easy by scalding. The feath
ers, however, are of no value.
Practically all the geese sold in Bos
ton and New York markets are dry
picked, but for some markets scalding
is practiced. In that case the birds are
dipped quickly into hot water, some
times alternating the dipping with cold
water, and the birds while moist with
the hot water are wrapped tightly for
a few' moments in cloth. The operation
must be carefully done, so that the
heat will loosen the feathers and yet
not scald the skin so that it will break
in picking. Experience is required to
perform the-operation successfully.
Where birds are scalded all the feath
ers are removed, including those on the
neck and wings left on when the bird
is dry picked. This allows the house
wife to use the whole neck gnd wings
cooking, so- that the shrinkage ip
drawing would be a little less from this
method of picking than from dry pick
ing.
ROSE cons KEODE ISLAND REDS,
for food product sold. A breed that
will displace Barred Rocks and White
Wyandottes for this purpose must
needs be a good one, and the Rhode Is
land Red is surely doing this upon its
merits as a yielder of eggs and dressed
poultry. Second, it has in a degree not
known since the advent of the Barred
Rock and Silver Laced Wyandotte a
distinctness of appearance which is
sufficient to warrant confidence among

Bermnda Pastures.
Bermuda is one of the finest pastures
you can possibly have for your cattle.
It grows spontaneously and makes the
best of hay. Cattle eat it ravenously
and fatten on it. I think Bermuda is
not generally appreciated as a pasture
grass, it is so hardy and grows so well
on our soils that it would .pay every
farmer to have a patch of it for pas
ture purposes or for hay. I have a
small lot of Bermuda on which I have
pastured a lot of hogs and cows all the
year, and they cannot keep it down. It
is a magnificent grass, says Louisiana
Farmer.

We do not fail in our appreciation of
Mr. Proctor’s exposition of the Rhode
Island Reds, and we enjoy enthusiasm,
but for him to even “venture the state
ment” that the Rhode Island Reds are
already the most important breed of
fowls before the American public is,
we think, putting it too strong. Says
Mr. Proctor: “A breed that will dis
place the Barred Plymouth Rocks and
White Wyandottes * * * must needs
be a good one, and the Rhode Island
Red is surely doing this upon its mer
its as a yielder of eggs and dressed
poultry.” No reader of these lines will
live long enough to see file Rhode Is
land Reds displace the Barred Plym
outh Rocks and - White Wyandottes.
To claim too much for the Rhode Is
land Reds will retard rather than ac
celerate their progress. We doubt not
that they have merit and that they are
destined to grow in popularity—per
haps rapidly—but to the impartial ob
server there is nothing about them,
certainly nothing that is thus far
known as a matter of record, which en
titles them to displace either the Bar-
rod Rocks or the White Wyandottes.
Let us admit that they are good layers.
So are the Plymouth Rocks and the
Wyandottes. Let us admit that they
are fairly good table fowl. So are the
Plymouth Rocks and the Wyandottes.
Speaking of the weights of these
new claimants to popular favor, Mr.
Proctor says: “The standard weights,
according to the club’s standard adopt
ed in 1S9S, run about two pounds less
than the Rocks and one pound less
than the Wyandottes. These weights
were decided upon after mature delib
eration, not as the largest often found,
but those best adapted to a breed In
which prolific laying by pullets In the
autumn i» a marked trait. Too large
size is a defect.”
We may concede that large size is a
defect if egg yield alone is considered,
but how about the value of the fowl
for table use? In a table fowl fairly
good size is desirable, and the Rhode
Island Reds, weighing one pound less
than the Wyandottes and two pounds
less than the Plymouth Rocks, will
have a hard time displacing them for
table use. There are no records that
go to prove that the Rhode Island Reds
are a better table fowl than either the
Wyandottes or Plymouth Rocks. On
tjie other hand, facts do exist that
prove that both the Plymouth Rocks
and Wyandottes make extra desirable
table fowl. At the last Boston show it
was the Plymouth Rocks that won the
highest awards in the dressed poultry
department both as young and old
fowl, with Rhode Island Reds In com
petition.
In all conscience let us be fair to the
Rhode Island Reds, let us seek out, ad
mit and utilize their real merit, but let
us also bear in mind that standard
poultry breeding would continue to be
an Industry of some importance and
reasonably large proportions even if
the Rhode Island Reds were to be lr
stantly wiped out of existence.—Edito.

Specializing.
Farm and Home says there Is much
said about the necessity of specializing
In the poultry business, but the fact re
mains that nearly all the successful
poultrymen are uniting the egg and
market poultry branches. The necessi
ty for keeping up the plant the year
around and employing all the time and
facilities seems to make It necessary to
raise broilers and market chickens as
well as layers. Besides, the broiler
men who depend upon others to fur
nish satisfactory eggs for hatching are
likely to be disappointed.

Knowledge la Necessary.
Can farmers in general and village
and town dwellers with available space
embark in poultry culture with a rea
sonable prospect of success? is an ev
eryday question of editors of poultry
papers. Prospective teachers have to
spend years in study before they can
pass the examinations, and only when
they are theoretically qualified to teach
can they get a certificate permitting
them to do so. That is the law or rule
made to govern them. Railway postal
clerks must pass a civil service exami
nation, and after that they have to
study to keep in line with the require
ments of the service. Soap manufac
turers have to study chemistry. Smelt
ers of ores arc practical chemists, and
there is no exception to the rule that
unless one is versed in his vocation he is
handicapped. Every village history re
cords failures in business resultin
from a lack of knowledge pertaining to
tbe industry.
A knowledge of hygiene to a certain
extent is the foundation of a success
ful poultryman, and without this
knowledge he is groping in the dark.
When one has learned the composition
of an egg, he can supply the poultry
with the necessary elements to produce
it.—S. Landon in Reliable Poultry Jour
nal.
