Town of 8parkc Stirred by Shooting
Affray.
Tifton, Ga., Dec. 23.—J. L. Kirby,
policeman at Sparks, was shot and in
stantly killed last night by Henry Por
ter, a desperate negro. M. J. Kinard,
marshal of Sparks, was shot through
the right hand and painfully wounded.
Porter is supposed to be wounded in
two places and 100 meu with dogs are
on his trail.
Porter was raising a row at a negro
house in Sparks and Marshal Kinard
and Policeman Kirby were sent to ar
rest him. They met him a few yards
from the railroad depot and when or
dered to hold up hl3 hands by the
marshal, Porter drew his pistol, a 44-
caliber weapon ,and besan firing.
His first shot went wild, but the
second struck the marshal in the right
hand, knocking his pistol to the
ground. The negro then turned upon
Kirby and shot him through the fore
head, killing him instantly. Kirby had
already emptied his pistol at the ne
gro, with what effect is not known.
As soon as Marshal Kinard could
pick up his pistol he fired the remain
ing chambers at Porter, who also fin
ished emptying his pistol, a six-shoot-
ei, at the marshal, one ball passing
through his hat brim. Mr. Kinard is
positive that his first shot fired before
his hand was struck hit the negro in
the breast and he thinks ne was hit
one time afterwards.
The negro made his escape during
the excitement.
Large posses of men with dogs are
scouring the country now for the mis
creant and great excitement prevails.
MissourJ’n Hen Crop.
Poultry Success says statistics show 7
that from Missouri alone during the
last year 10C.9SS.710 pounds of poultry
live and dressed, was shipped, an in
crease of 36,907,443 pounds over the
preceding year. Of eggs shipped from
there there were 34,875,040 dozen, mak
ing the poultry industry worth to the
producer in the one state alone, mind
$12,001,048.54. The profits from this
industry exceed by many thousands of
dollars those of all grains, beans, tobac
co and cotton seed raised there.
A Breeder TCl:o Thinks It Ail a Mis
take to CrcS3 Pare Breeds.
In reading poultry journals (I reaf
only about half a dozen) I often co:n(
across articles advocating a cross be
tween pure bred fowls and questions
about which breeds to cross. Some peo
ple seem to think that cross breeds art
healthier and are better layers thar
pure breeds.
Why don’t they cross mongrels on
mongrelsV Thc;e are many fioeks oi
mongrels not related to each other,
and they ougiit to get what they want
that way. but they know or seem to
think that pure breeds are doing bet
ter work for most of their owners than
any mongrels. Why don’t they get
pure bred fowls then? They may know
of certain brooders who have inbred
their fowls ami lose many of their firm
fowls by disease, and that sets them
against pure breeds. Ro they get pure
Lied tight Brahmas from Mr. A., who
has large. Lea.Uhy Brahmas, and pure
bred brown Leghorns of Mr. it. and
mate a light Brahma cockerel with
brown Leghorn pallets. Such an ex-]
periinenter may get lots of eggs that j
hatch well, the chicks may grow fast.;
and the breeder will feel contented, bm i
there Is not much evenness in size cr
color o? young stock. This lie does not
like the best, but it makes no difference
as long as they do well other ways. If
he keeps on breeding from these same
fowls, he will soon have jubred fowls
and the worst kind of mongrels. But
most of them go no further than the
first cross, which is all right for cross
ing.
But why cross breed when you can
get pure breds from two different
strains and have an even lot of chicks
just as healthy as yon ask for if they
have been cared for right? By intro
ducing new blood from a third, fourth,
etc., strain (as you need it) you will
still have pure breds. We all agree of
course that by this method we can es
tablish no special type of fowl cor ex
pect any show birds worth speaking of
But here Is the breeder who must
cross breed two pure bred breeds. If
you must do tills for the looks’ sake,
cross two pure white breeds, two biack
breeds or two buff breeds. This will
give you chicks of uniform color. Or
get nearer to It by crossing two white,
black or buff breeds with the same
style of comb, same color of shanks or
that lay the same color cf eggs. This
will give you more uniformity in their
production.
One who cross breeds is not a fancier
by any means. We all like to see
evenness in the looks of a flock of chick
ens, and we like It better still when
we can say that the birds are pure
breeds. I believe that with extra vigor
fowls can be inbred several genera
tions with no noticeable bad results.
You can inbreed without line breeding,
but you cannot line breed without in-
breeding. Line breeders must get new
blood, but they get it from birds bred
In line for the same object for which
they are breeding.-—Arthur C. Grose in

house, as shown at the window, may
bo used outside as a covered shed. The
plan is from Mr. E. A. Hutchins, New
York, who does not favor too much
window space and who states that the
windows should be double for winter.
For very cold climates windows should
be closed aud not radiate the heat.
The nests are shown under the plat
forms, the roosts being over them. The
house may be of any preferred size,
and a number of them may be together,
divided with partitions. Tlie object
here is not so much to give a plan of a
poultry house as to present a snug and
comfortable location for the roosts.—

Why Tliey Did It.
A few years ago Armour & Co., the
great packing house of Kansas City,
were advertising in the papers circu
lating in their Immediate territory ad
vising farmers to get pure bred Plym
outh Reck, Wyandotte and Indian
Game males to grade up their stock,
says Practical Farmer. It seems re
markable that n firm of packers and
shippers should spend money in that
way, but the exp’nnatiou is simple.
Armour & Co. are killing and shipping
three or four tons of poultry a day,
and they could get §2 or S3 per hun
dredweight more for good stuff than
they could for poor, hence it would
actually pay them a profit In time to
spend money in advising farmers to
raise better poultry. The effects of the
uplifting would be practically perma
nent.
