Size and Qus'itv of Eqqs.
Eggs vary much In size and quality
End the variation ts due in a great
^ meupure to the methods adopted in
I ihe cure of teed.
I The flavor of eggs is affected quick-
j lv by feeding unwholesome foods, or
I the odor may be absorbed (rom con-
j tact with onions cr foul garbage ol
cellars cr damp quarter*. 4f hens
| are fed strong, rank food, rurh ns
fsb. onions cr rancid bene nu-al, tip-
J eggs will nt once show n distinct fla
vor. Many foods will affect the * 1 col-
I or of yolks, for instance clover, green
I feed or rut bone will produce a dis
junct golden color In the eggs; but
' what wo should guard against is the
flavor which comes from undesirable
feed. The size cf the egg depends
somewhat on the food, and we should
j be careful to have every one uniform
| and ns nearly of the same color as
1 possible.
Poultry In the Orchard.
Poultry may with advantage be kept
| tn the orchard. This makes It possi
ble to engage In poultry keeping on a
considerable scale without any cost
. for land. In other words, a double
use of the land may be made. The
. trees afford the necessary shade tc
the fowls In warm weather. It will be
j necdksarv to furnish them ample green
• foed at all times, especially when the
apples are on the ground. If uo other
green food is available, they are liable
| to eat an Injurious amount of apples
On the other band, poultry are a de
elded advantage to the orchard as an
! aid in the warfare on insect enemies
The colony system of housing the
| fowls should be used. By moving the
bouses frequently the fowls may si
ways be kept tn clean ground and
I the droppings will be evenly distri
buted over the orchard. Fifty hens
on an acre of bearing apple orchard
will keep It in a high state of fer
jtility.

j H. Ennis,’
Fanciers matt* first for fine feathers
and then for other points. Practical
.pouitrymen mate for practical pur-
I poses, or at least they should do so.
jNow, practical poultrytnen are not as
!numerous as they should be. They
make hut a small proportion of those
who keep fowls, for 1 do not consider
I the man who keeps fowls in a slip-
'shod, hit cr miss, thoughtless fashion
ja practical poultry-man. Not by n
jlong shot, dees he deserve this name,
j A piactical poultryman, like a prai
jtlcal any other sort of a man, is one
| who uses practical methods and prac
Itlcal means. In other words lie uses
'the best of methods to accomplish
jlils purposes, and puts some thought
Into the work cf his hands. The
practical pouliry worker has some
radical end In view, some sens!
i ole purpose to accomplish, one which
will bring him more dollars ami
cents In the end than perhaps any
other methods which have ever been
trb d. He bends all Ills energies In
jone useful and practical line of work
j In the mating cf his fowls, while
jhe does not disregard or think lightly
.of their beauty, he thinks vastly
(more of whfit he can produce from
i them In the shape of eggs and moat.
( Does he wish to produce eggs?
jThen he selects a good laying breed,
selects from the hens of this breed
this; pullets which are the ber.t lay
ers and uses them to breed from. If
j there be a little spot of off color In
the plumage, or if the comb be a lit
tle'out of true, or if the ear lobe be
lacking in some degree the ported
or exact shade, he does not neces
sarily rejected this great laying hen
from hls slock of breeders. It is his
ilm. If possible, to find out how each
hen he Is about to place In his breed-
ng yards produces eggs. Of course,
11? there was a choice between two
hens equal as layers, but one much
more perfect in ornamental qualities,
showing her good breeding, be would,
of course, select the ornamental one.
But It the choice were between a 90-
point hen with an egg record of left
per annum, and un 89-point hen with
a record of 150 eggs per year the
latter would be the one kept to breed
from. With hens thus selected and
tested for egg production ar.il a male
strong and vigorous, selected from a
known egg strain, he would expect Ic*
raise pullets that would lay. and
cockerels that would beget layers.
Does ho with m produe > me;:', then
hls selections would be of a differ
ont character. If for the broiler mar
Iket his type would be of the medium
siz“d fowl, compact In body, quick
to shape up and mature. He would
look frr the round, plump brenst,
logs medium, short set and well apart,
in oilier words, a fowl that would
levelop a plump meaty looking car
cass in the shortest possible time.
Selections of this character should
produce the early broilers.
If It were for marketing cf grown
fowls for roaslers and heavy market
purposes, then the choices should be
looking to a larger fowT with a long,
broad, deep body and full breast, in
juring the greatest amount of meat
upon the frame in a reasonable
length of time. The legs should be
medium in length and set well apart,
'he neck not too long. Such a fowl
will make prime roasters and the
very finest of market capons.
The fancier looks at things in quite
i different light .and yet when you
'arefully an&Hse his work you will
Snd there is not as much difference
Between his selections and those of
•he strictly practical man as you had
presumed when looking at hls work
from a distance.
While he will select for the fancy
n color, comb, etc., he will also look
for a fowl symmetrical In form,
vhich will mean a full, woll-roupded
breast, body, etc. The latter will
nean a good one for the meat fcroed-
>r. When it comes to making a de-
•ision between two specimens, one
3ner in color and trimming* than
the other but slightly deficient in
meat or egg producing qualities, the
practical one will have to come In as
second choice.
Many of our best breeders of stand
ard or fancy poultry are trap-nesting
both for the Increase in egg produc
tion and lo intensify the fancy points
which they are the most anxious
about, in doing this they have found
that the majority of their beat egg
producers were hens of merit in the
fancy line, to that in the breeding
for the strictly prac*leal it Is not nec
essary to diverge from the strictly
fancy ns many croakers In the would-
be practical ranks try to make yen
believe.
1 look forward to the not far dis
tant day when the difference will bo
scarcely dlscernable.—Southern Rur-
