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.

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. Hay, 50c per hundred pounds, at J. j H.

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- a list.
