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.

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.

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.—

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.
