Fancier Who Brought First
of Strain to This Country
Gives Some Facts.
It is now more than eleven year? since
I brought into this country the first Orp
ingtons, all fine varieties, says Mr Wai-,
lace P. Willett, of East Orange, N J.
8 I published the "Orpington" for two or |
three years and later helped form the ■
American Orpington club anti to boons j
the Orpington into notice, in spite of j
some of the criticisms of an Eastern edi- '
. tor at that time, that the Orpington, a ;
white’leg and flesh fowl, could never sup
plant the "generations back, yellow-leg;
fowl of Massachusetts.” As I read the;
poultry papers todat. after ten years ex- i
plolttng of the Orpington. I fool that they |
have fought a good fight thus far. and ,
have by no means finished their course :
T admire the pluck and push of Mr Kel- |
leretraaa. who, with prm’er's Ink mainly. .
haa brought the White Orpingtons to tho
front
The Real Breed.
' The Black and Buff Orpingtons were |
the, rae.l Orpingtons, originated by W:l ;
Ham Cook, Sr, for best all-around quail- I
Um; and with me they hold that position j
today His latar originations of the .Igib
lee and Spangled varieties have not met
with such favor aa he anticipated they
would. Ranh year I raise a few of all
varieties, but my mein stock is now
Buffs. which suit my eye and satisfy my
ambition best, and they here proved quite
as hardy as the Barred Plymouth Hocks,
which, in my opinion, are their only
worthy competitors.
Having bred all the varieties of Orping
tons during the past ten years, my ex-
- parienoe with them has led me first to
discard the Whites, followed by the
Blacks, and to raise only a pen or two of ■
Diamond Jubilees and Spangled for fur
then development. I now ptn my faith to
the Buffs, which grow more in my favor
each year, and I believe I can foresee
that the Buff Orpington will prove the
variety that will outclass all other va
rieties and breeds In the end ,1 have
Utile faith tn the long continuance of tl e
boom in White Orpingtons I note that
• my view here expressed appears to have
Worked itself out across the water \
recent article in the poultry press says:
"The Orpingtons (at Paris. Hrant e.
poultry Show I far exceeded atv other
breed tn numbers and the Buffs were in
the lead of any other variety There
were 2#3 Orpingtons (Buffs 112. Blacks
98, Whites 77, Jubilee or Spangled G>
The Orpingtons bad a room all to them
selves and made quite a creditable dis
play." A Similar pro rata classlticatlon of
i" Orpingtons in America is not far in the
future
It The Buffs are now very easy for breed
ing perfection In the pullets, but the
’ males still lag behind and "craeker
jacks" for the shows are lacking in quan
. tlty and bring big prices The breeding
of pure buff color males in any' breed is
a question in which lovers of the beauti
ful in poultry ar# all interested
Matinfl to Secure Color.
Unfortunately it does not follow in ex
perience that a pure buff male mated
with a ptrre buff female will produce
pure buff chicks, especially cockerels. In
most cases there are more or less part
• white feathers in wing or tall Home
other mating seems necessary to secure
best results. This new method may be
the "Mendel law" system, so-called I
will not attempt here to give the wins
and wherefores of the Mendel system,
but simply Its process, which 1 am now
trying with a few pairs of Buff
Begin by mating a pure buff male with
a'few hens that show white festhers. and
if'the progeny show white feathers, dis
card the maJe. but if they do not show
white feathers keep the mele for breed
' ing Male also a pure buff female with
a male that shows feathers and discard
- the hen if the progeny show white, but
If the progeny show no white feathers
keep the hen for breeding The tested
male 1a then mated to the tested female
and It is claimed that the basis for a
flock of pure buff males and females is
thus started I believe, however, that >l
may necessitate a number of trials be
fore the required male and female are
found. —Willett in A. P. J.

Tamworth Hog Bacon
Breed and Will Not Be
Popular in Corn Belt
An lowa correspondent writes:
“What is the history, origin and ’he
comparative value of the Tamworth
hog? Are th»y extensively grown in
Canada or England?" , •
The Tamwvirth is a, bacon breed, and
like all hogs of that type Is but little
grown or appreciated in the corn belt.
It is more appreciated in Canada and
England, but even there is surpassed
in popularity by another bacon breed
—the large Yorkshire.
Not much is known about the origin
of the Tamworth. Some think that it
came to England from Ireland in the
early part of the las’ century. A’ any
rate, along in the ‘"O's. a high-set, long
faced, thin-backed, long-sided, red bog
was recognized in the central counties
of England a ■ being able to forage well
for itself and to furnish prime sides
of bacon \t about this time in Eng
land the consuming public'became dis
satisfied with the quality of bacon and
demanded a sort with more lean and
less fat. As a result rhe Tamworth
increased in popularity and during the
'SO's much attention was paid to its
breeding and the type improved great
ly. Several herds were imported into
th" United States’and Canada, but the
breed has never pread much in either
of these countries.
The Tamworth is a typical bacon
hog. and as such will probably never
become popular in lite corn belt ex
cept on alfalfa and dairy farms. Two
of the strongest argum-rtts in favor of
the Tamworth are ’he large size of lit
ters and the anility to make large
gains on pasture Prominent objec
tions are slow maturity, thinness
throughout, and light hams. We think
the Tamworth may find a place in the
corn belt on dairy farms, or where
large dependence is placed on pasture
in making hog gains. It is not likely
’hat ’ho breed will become popular un
til the packers pay more of a premium
for bacon hogs.

ARTOF BUTTER MAKING
HAS MADE BIG STRIDES
IN PAST FORTY YEARS
The cow takes fat from her back and
puts it in the milk. Man separates the
fat from milk and secures butter It was
more than 30 centuries ago that he first
learned the secret. Some man was prob
ably carrying whole milk in a skin on a.
warm day. The motion caused the fat
globules to stick together and so resulted
the first butter. At any rate the ancient
peoples made butter by putting milk in a
skin and pounding or shaking it. Later
they shook cream up and down in bot
tles. and finally, discovered the churn.
The Hindus were probably the first but
ter makers. But the Greeks, Persians
and Romans all used butter several cen
turies before Christ Curiously, the chief
use of butter in the early days was not
as food, but as ointment and hair dress
ing.
The Scandinavians were the first really
to develop butter making. A thousand
>ears ago they were exporting butter to
northern Europe They knew little about
the science of butter making, but had
learned much by long practice.
During the last 40 years we have
learned more about butter making than
was discovered in the preceding 30 cen
turies Microscopes had been invented
and with thair aid the science of dairy
bacteriology- was established At the time
of the close of our Civil war a German
learned how to separate cream from milk
by the first crude separator. Fifteen
years ago a Dane'and a Swede invented
the first practical centrifugal separator.
At first separators were mostly used in
creameries. But during the last fifteen
HOW TO PACK EGGS
FOR SAFE SHIPPING
AND GOOD HATCHES
It requires considerable skill and
good knowledge of details to pack eggs
for hatching, I have had good resn’t’
with baskets. Eggs shipped in boxes are
liable to be loughl? handled by the ex
press companies, while baskets will be
handled more carefull?. Then. too.
they are much cheaper. Good baskets
can be bought for fort?' or fift?' cents
a dozen, and you can get covers and
labels for a trifle. The best basket for
the purpose is one with a good strong
handle, upright, so as to guard the
package if other matter is laid upon
it. 1 exercise the same care and fol
low the same rule for packing one set
ting as for one hundred or more eggs,
except as to the size of the basket. I
always have the package just large
enough to hold the eggs and the neces
sar?' packing material. If ?our order
calls for one hundred or one hundred
and twent?’ eggs a bushel basket is
needed. First line the basket with
newspapers, and then put about an inch
of excelsior in the bottom. Now you
are read?- for the first layer of eggs.
After wrapping each egg in soft palter
put them In one i>? one. leaving one
inch spaces to be filled with excelsior
crowded in firm!?' so as to keep the
eggs from the sides of the basket and
prevent them from shaking. This first
layer of eggs is then covered in the
same manner as the bottom, and all
the other layers packed and covered
likewise, with the exception of the top
layer, which should be thicker and
rounded up so that when the canvas
cover is sewed on and drawn down
tight th® "ggs can not : halts round in
the basket Sew the label to ’he can
vas cover, or if the cover is of paste
board use gummed labels, Print on
vour labels in good-sized type. EGGS
FOR HATCHING. HANDLE WITH
CARE! t'se a darning needle and
strong cotton string and sew the can
vas to the rim of the basket, drawing
it down tightl? so that the packing will
spring up when pressed with the hand.
A basket about the size of a ten
pound grape basket will hold a setting
of eggs. For two settings an eight
quart basket is necessftry. and for fifty
eggs a half-bushel basket. Excelsior
for packing the eggs can usuall? be
procured at all grocers or furniture
stores. For wrapping the eggs a soft
grade of newspaper is used. Always
place the -mall end down in the a?-
ket The air cell is in th’ large end.
and in shipping may be displaced by
rough handling Thus the egg becomes
addled, which kills the germ I’ is also
a good plan to instruct the buyer to
unpack and la? the eggs in their nat
ural position for at least twenty-four
hours before setting.

Tullahoma. Tenn.
years the separating of milk on the farm
has come more and more into general
practice Twenty years ago the Scandi
navian peninsula and our own Eastern
states made most of the -butter of the
world Today Denmark and the Scandi
navian peninsula are still producing great
quantities of butter But in the United
States the center of butter production has
shifted to lowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Min
nesota. Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri —
our great corn belt states From the corn
belt comes most of the $200,000,000 worth
of but er consumed annually by the peo
ple of the United States.
The history of butter is Interesting, but
of slight value unless it teaches us to
keep our eyes open, fully expecting that
as in the past methods of butter making
changed so in the future they will change.
But of course the change will be a dif
ferent kind of a change. Methods of sep
arating milk will become more and more
perfected Scientific knowledge of bac
teria will more and more be applied to
properly ripening cream. Cieamerles will
necessarily adopt a more and more im
proved type of machinery. They will per
fect their organization. They will get
better transportation facilities .And all
the while the demand for butter will be
Increasing There will be many things
to modify the advance in butter making
There is oleomargarine and similar but
ter substitutes. Possibly the laboring
man of the United States will in the fu
ture he unable to afford butter. It is in
teresting to speculate.

THE PREVENTION
OF HOG CHOLERA
/
Strict Sanitation and Separa
tion of Sick From Well Es
sential in Checking It.
The germ of hog cholera fg often of
sufficient virulence to cause a fatal
outbreak of cholera In the best cared
for herd. Good hygienic and sanitary
conditions may, and frequently do, no
doubt, operate to make the animal
more resistant to disease and its at
tack. but should never be depended
upon alone to ward off disease. By
separating the sick and keeping the
prernises free from filth, stagnant wa
ter and otherwise In the best possible
condition, the spread of an outbreak
through the herd may be much retard
ed ; but the fact should ever be kept
in mind tfiat the germs of disease
should never be allowea to gain a
foothold on the premises.
Sanitation Essential,
The man most successful in prevent
ing disease in his herd is the one w'ho
takes the utmost pains to exclude dis
ease-producing bacteria and at the
same time observes necessary hygiene
and sanitation. I will give vou my way
of preventing disease in my herd of
hogs. I have never In mv whole ca
reer of swine breeding had a single
case of hog cholera or other conta
gious disease In my herd. The O. 1 C<
hog is said by some breeders to be
immune from cholera. I do not be
lieve that. I breed them and have
bred them for twelve years and have
never lost one. but believe If they come
In contact with cholera thev will’die.
It has been claimed bv a writer in
one of the South’s leading agricultural
papers that the Duroc Jersey Is Im
mune also. I have a few of them, and
I know they a.re not. I have never
lost one. However, I sold Mr. F. C.
Jones, at Albany. Ga.. eleven head,
shipped all at one time, disinfected
them thoroughly and thev were turned
In on infected premises, and they all
died in one month. So do not be mis
led by any breeder that says he has a
breed Immune from cholera.
An Ounce of Prevention.
The only successful wav to combat
and steer clear of cholera Is to treat
your herd for It ell the time, whether
you fiave ft. in your county or not.
Do not allow too many hogs to bed
together. Change bedding every week;
spray all hog houses, hogs, bedding, etc.,
every week with a good coal tar dis
infectant; use plenty of lime In your
houses, lots etc. Keep a mixture of
salt, charcoal wood ashes, sulphur and
soda before them wh«re then' can g°t
it at will. Do not feed on the ground.
Have a board floor or concrete floor to
feed on. Good clean water. Do not
food any musty or damaged food, and
never allow any one else’s hogs to bed
with yours. Keep lice killed, tdee are
injurious to hogs.
Menace to South.
If the hog cholera Is allowed to prn
ceefl In the South as it has In,the past
year, meat will nnlv h«> used as des
sert or on Sunday In the homes of the
majnrltv of Georgia farmers. There Is
no necessity for such a. hfrh death rate
