THE PLYMOUTH ROCKS. for Iviirl)- Ilrollera, Itoaal.'njr Fowl# or Capons They Are One of the Very Itent llreeda. No breed is so popular or well thought of by farmers as the Plym outh Hock and no breed is 60 often met with on farms. It is an Amer ican breed adapted to American needs and good in any and every place. The greatest consideration among farm ers is that they are hardy. They need no pampering and arc able to slyft f«v» themselves when necessary, yet give liig returns for good food and care. The hens are good winter lay ers of large brown eggs. They are also good sitters and mothers. Por early broilers, roasting fowls or ca pons tlicy are one of the bast breeds. \ 112 ' •, / WELL-BRED PLYMOUTH ROCKS. The bright yel'.ow legs and skin gives them a very attractive appearance in market. The Plymouth TVoek is good enough for anybody and it lias not been neces sary to bring out a lot of different colored varieties. Yet in addition to the original barred there is the pure white and the buff. In dressing, these two varieties do not show dark pin feathers. The fancier who delights to breed for farm and feather will find ample opportunity with the barred Plymouth Hock. The most prominent breeders follow a system of double mating—matching up one pen to pro duce cockerels and another for pul lets. The demand is for a much light er color in males than in females. The standard weights are: Cocks, 9% pounds; cockerel, 8 pounds; hen, 7y t pounds; pullet, 614 pounds. A typical pair of show birds is here illustrated from a picture taken for the Orange Judd. Farmer. LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP. Youiik I'nrmem Should Think Se'fY" ouml}' Itefore Aliantlon liik the Country for the Ciil J", The question is often asked of the young man 011 the farm, why he is so anxious to leave home and try his for tunes in the large city. The answer too often is, that he can see 110 future ahead if he stays where he is, and "Ita all work and no play anyhow." With the finishing of the summer wurk, the hustle now being over, tlie long winter nights upon us, even more time is given to the ambitious or uneasy lad to re flect, until iu an ill abused moment he packs up, boards the train and shakes the dust of childhood days from liis boots. It is to this class that the cry goes out: "Steady!" Take a moment to think. Think of the number who have gone before you, whose hearts yearn for the cool, fresh, sparkling air of the country morning, who would willingly return if it were not for the supposed criticism they would have to undergo. A large establish ment, in a metropolitan city, not long ago, advertised for a cferk, to take a responsible position. To this over 300 answers were received; tlie average fcalary asked, seven dollars a week. A little calculation will show how much of this would be left after the board and incidentals were paid. Fig ures talk, and these show how over crowded the field in the city has be come in the last few years. Besides this meant a life of confinement, an ■atmosphere of impurity, with longer hours than the ordinary farmhand. Compare this with the income of the. progressive young farmer; not the drone, but the one who gives honest, earnest study to th« advancement of his profession. Look at his ruddy face unil stalwart figure, the picture of health and happiness. Compare him with the office man, with narrow ehe.-t, transparent skin, showing to»i clearly the claims of 11 sedentary position upon his vitality. Now that winter is here, mu |> out a course of rinding for your undivided attention; read your favorite paper; study hurt! for the betterment of your home; advance the interests of the farm, the noblest work of man, the controlling powir in this the great) t of nations.— Kpitouiist.

WHAT AILS TIIE PIGS? A QapMtion Thm Cannot Alwnyi B# Answered to tlie Sml of Anxlouai Inquirer*. Pigs pet out of fix and it is usually through some disarrangement of the stomach. There are some general rules that should be observed at all times for the purpose of protecting the health of the herd. A profitable hop that is ready and eager to eat must, therefore, be a healthy hog. A great deal of the trouble with pigs and hogs is occasioned by constipa tion. This is the beginning of their troubles that later are not so easily removed, says American Swineherd. It. is therefore one of the first things in looking after your hogs' health to prevent constipation. Of course, a hog may be all right in the bowels and yet become afflicted. Hut it is the exception and not the rule. It takes vigilance at all times to pre serve the health of the hog. Adopt cleanly methods about the pens and feeding troughs. Have a dry place for them to sleep in. Don't expose them to draughts in their sleeping quarters. Don't overfeed. Don't make sudden changes of feed. Give thpm charcoal and ashes or charred cobs. Spread lime a round t heir sleep ing quarters and feed troughs. When a pig is off his feed there is something wrong, and you want to get him back there as quick as possible. Don't do it by trying to force him to eat. On the other hand, take away his feed and if constipated give him a physic. Look out for worms, prevent lice, provide him with plenty of fresh water, plenty of salt and ashes, plen ty of range and if he gets sick the percentage of exceptions are small. The sick hog Ts an unprofitable hog, Tf you doctor him it costs money, it costs time and it causes loss of gain in the hog. It, takes a great deal of extra feed to get him started again to the point where his health failed him. t herefore it is far better to spend a little time in preventing these ailments by careful watchfulness. THE CRY FOR BONE. To Improve HORN Alone Till* I.lne Oare in Kecillnjc unil .ftidlcloua Treiutmenit Are Seceeaary. e hear a heap about bone in hogs, and it may be worth while to think a little about it. If sonic those who write about more bone anil how to get it would think a little more their articles would not mislead so much. We are told over and over, says the National Stockman, and many people actually believe, that the modern hog is "deficient in bone," and that we must turn to some big. coarse-boned strain to correct this defect. There are two kinds of deficiency in bone. One is a lack of quantity and the other is a lack of quality. There are few domestic animals that have too little bone, but there are many that have too weak bone. The way to improve the bone is not to breed to increase its si/e but to feed to in crease it's strength. In so dong the size will be increased somewhat. Na tional care will also do much to im prove the quality of bone. The brood sows and the sire should have plenty of exercise, they should be fed well balanced foods, they should have ac cess to the earth or to substitute* therefore. With this kind of treat ment there is little danger of raising a hog without bone enough to support all the meat he ought to carry. And with this kind of treatment the mod ern American type—the best that has yet been produced from both the pro ducer's and the killer's standpoint— can be preserved. A violent cross for bone is not necessary for the man who wilTstudy the feeding and care of hogs. YOU WILL LIKE THIS. Simple lloi Attachment on tlie tilde of n Crib to Prevent \eedlcnn I.OMM of Corn.

" J The Seaboard Air Line Railway, of Ports -1 mouth, Vs., is advertising a beautiful, but | comparatively htUe known, legion on the j West Coast of Florida ai three booklets | called "The Land of Manatee."

They are, 111 fact, a description of Manatee County, Florida, with some account of its history aud its many interesting features which will ap peal equally to the general reader, the in vestor, the fruit and vegetable grower, and to the tourist and sportsman. The autho' is Mr. iloiton M. Cassaday, a wiiter oi experience, 'lhe beauty of the Manatee country is well described, and the marvel ous fertility of the soil and equally won derful healthfulness of the climate are told Of in a way to leave no doubt in the read er's mind. Manatee county must be the garden-spot of all Florida, and the won der is that it has not sooner been settled and the latent riches of its soil turned into jood American dollars. A most charming feature of these booklets is their typo j graphical appearance. They are printed | on hand made paper, and are delightfully illustrated with photographic half-tone plates and ornamented with decorative de ■ signs in flat monotones that make them I really valuable brochures. Persons in ! terested in Florida, and especially in the ! possibilities of orange growing and truck gardening below the frost line, will find these booklets not only interesting, but full of valuable and practical information.
