Pure bred flocks are preferred to mongrels for ; markets or breeders. Besides the obvious difference ofj •color, the several breeds of turkeys I differ chiefly in three essentials. No; [breed unites all superlatively nor lacks I at least one of the three. Some offer! i greater resistance to weather hard- I ships at the loss of size. Others have' 'weight, but dress with less satisfac ! tion. Varieties of geese are much more I dissimilar, the difference extending I even to the matter of egg production. When the raiser undertakes to | choose a Variety, he finds two other decisions inextricably related. For what purpose is the crop destined, for general marketing, or specializing in breed, with show birds on the side? The great majority belongs to i lass of market suppliers. Second, what gauges the number in the breeding flock? Generous acreage and good pastur age predispose to growing turkeys in numbers for market and good foragers are desirable. A few people have suc ceeded in yarding turkeys, but it is not advisable for the general raiser. Besides tlie risk of mortality, the en tire feeding devolves upon the breed er's poeketbook. In case of small lields fancy or pure bred birds for breeding purposes are a good risk—a sort of intensive raising. Specializa tion under such circumstances may include several standard varieties. It is folly to crowd numbers of turkeys in a small pasture, unless one permits them to be free lances. All of the varieties and even mon grel flocks raised under good condi tions, qualify for the market, for or dinary requirements are not so rigid. Aiclean, shapely, fat turkey, carefully dressed, easily Classes as fancy. But certain vanieties do this more readily than others. The raiser must deter mine what qualities he prefers pre dominant. In the Quest for Qualities. We have the liberty of selection from seven varieties: White Holland, Slate, Buff, Narragansett, Bronze, Black and Bourbon Red. Buff and Bourbon Red are so similar except as to size as to be confounded with each other. The Bronze and Narragansett varieties, both of New England origin, are much alike. What, then, does the turkey raiser seek? Is it size or early maturity? Domesticity or hardiness? Vigor or good-dressing qualities? Some com bine several of these qualities and achieve popularity. Others are hamp ered by some undesirable characterise BETTER THAN SPANKING Spanking does not cure children of bed-wetting. There Is a constitutional cause for this trouble. Mrs. M.

This fowl belongs to the Mediter ranean class, and is rated as a heavy layer of large white eggs. Many in dividual hens have made enviable rec ords in laying contests, while a fore most English breeder tested six pullets for one year and found that they laid 1,407 eggs, an average of 234'/ 2 eggs each. The eggs are large and chalk white, equaling those of the Minorcas. All records seem to indicate that the Blue Andalusian is a native of whence it derives its name. Some early accounts report the ttrst impor tation made into England as coming directly from Cadiz, Spain. The breed is at its best in England and Canada, although very recently American breeders have made a strong tic. Hut each breed has its enthusi astic sponsors. It sometimes happens that a raiser, discouraged or dissatis ! tied, decides to change the variety to which he has hitherto pinned bis : faith. Such a one after years of j Bronze, chose the Buff. Said he a year later to a friend contemplating a similar change: "Don't do it. I grew tired racing after my Bronze turkeys day alter day, and got the Buffs last year. Well, the hens and young o.nes simply camped on the door step wait ing for me to feed them. Of course, at Christmas, they were midgets." Buff was to him a disqualification, since he desired size more. it is their size combined with vigor that makes the Bronze, sometimes called the Giant Bronze, a favorite in every locality, and accounted the best all-round breed for general raising. The young grow vigorously and dis play an admirable inclination to as sist their boarding mistress by forag ing. The adult's frame is long, deep breasted, powerful, well constructed for carrying the weight of fiesh to which the gobbler owes his ability to tip the 'beam Sfrom 30 to 40 pounds. His dark plumage, overlaid with iri descence, proud carriage and noble size, establish it as the Grand Mogul of Turkeydom. Its size retards its maturity, hence seven months, a mar ketable age with the average turk, linds the Bronze inclined to be gawky, except where it has been constantly under ideal conditions of range, weather and health. Virtues of tile Hardy Black. The Black Turkey in contour resem bles the Bronze, but is smaller, clean cut, with less depth of It is distinctly stand-oltish in disposition, inclined to wander and rather timor ous. B is considered very hardy and is raised exclusively in some rigorous climates and on ranches. To make a good showing when plucked, it muqt be in the pink of condition. Pin feath ers on any of the dark-plumaged va rieties make sightly dressing difficult, since the black pigment therein smears smuttily. Its polished crow-black eont, matched with black shanks, make it a markedly handsome bird— a real Black Beauty. Baby Blacks are wiry, rather small, vigorous. Prejudice against the color has discarded this variety in many sections noted for their fancy dressed stock—a real in justice when its hardy qualities are considered. In direct contrast to tills is the White Holland of similar line and size, hut with snow-white plumage and salmon-colored shanks. Its chief com mendation is its beauty as a dresser. It lacks popularity because many con sider it lacking in stamina.' In com mon with all white fowls, it offers special inducements to predatory birds and animals, since its color offers it no protection. The albino of every kind is considered inherently weak. The Buff turkey probably displays a sharper difference in body than any other variety. The type is shorter, more compact, the body rounder, the neck and legs shorter. The creamy flesh and pale pin feathers lend an air to even the poorer specimens. The uniform is brownish red with white tall and wing quills. The Bourbon Red is larger with much the same col oring. It is often called "Red" or "Snuff-colored." It. is placidly home loving and reasonably vigorous. No variety is more suitable for one desir ing turkeys disinclined to wander. Distinguishing Traits of the Slate. Personal experience witli nearly all the varieties has cemented the writ er's regard for the Slate. Architectur ally conforming to the Bronze, it is a rational forager, vigorous, of even HARRISBURG TELEGEjSLPH Mrs. Harry Davis Hostess For Ladies' Aid Society Lykcns, Pa., March 3. —Members of the Ladies' Aid Society of the Metho dist Episcopal Church met at the homo of Mrs. Harry Davis on Mon day evening.

I showing of Blue Andalusians at our i leading shows. Both sexes have a steel-blue body | color, each feather edged with slaty ' blue, the male differing from the fe male only in the col6rir%- of the neck and saddle hackles and wing butts, i which are dark blue, etch feather edged with blue-black. TTie male has a large red comb and large pendulous wattles. The female's comb falls to one side as in Leghorns and Minorcas. ; Both sexes have white earlobes. As before noted, the hens are heavy j layers and do well either yarded or x>n | tree range. They do not get broody, I however, and the eggs must be hatch j ed by hens of other breeds or by arti ; flcial means. The chicks are strong land vigorous. , temperament and most satisfactory I tor market. Its coat is zinc-gray with lighter tail and wings. Often the blue i gray quills are-irreguiarly spotted with ! blacki Its sombre color denies it the distinction of beauty, but its bearing • equals that of the Bronze. This va | riety, often called the or Gray, is gradually assuming importance in | localities where recently it was un ' known, winning its way by its/sound j qualities. This breed matures a little : earlier than the Bronze, is less in build,, prepares rapidly fof market, ; and does equally well on open or limit- j ! ed ground. Wild Turkey anl Mongrel Mocks The Wild Turkey, very much like its j big brother, the Bronze, with more of the brown in its sheen, is extremely active and hardy. Jt has been domes ! ticated and introduced as a sire in pure bred Hocks with the object of in | creasing vigor, with gratifying results. Mongrel tlocks are not desirable. If made a rule, the breeders deteriorate in size and thriftiness. Original crosses produce good individuals. A tlock of Slate hens headed by a Bronze (gobbler yields a progeny excellent fori | dressing, but undesirable as sires. Jn reviewing the varieties according! to their qualities, it may be noted thatl lor size, one may select Bronze, Nar j ragansett or Bourbon Red. For vigor, : 'the Wild Turkey, Bronze, Slate and j I Black are entries. in the "good dresser" class are the light-feathered , i varieties, Slate, White Holland, Buff, j j Rangers include the Black, Bronze, .fsarragansett and Slate, while the Buff , fs more domestic. It is wise to be assured of accllma- . ' tized stock when changing to a new variety. The best will fail under ad- j ' verse •onditions. And it is not ad-! ' visable to change while the breed one ; has is satisfactory. After all, one is ] forced ilnally to test by experience. , The unknown factor is always how the J new variety will accommodate itself to ' a new climate and an unfamiliar loca j tion. r \ Experience has shown that the first two weeks of a chick's life is i the most critical period, therefore it may IK- said to tnark the real basis of success with poultry. In next week's article an experienced breeder tells how to care for the brood during this time. v - RECITAL AT TOWER CITY Tower City, Pa., March 3. —Pre- parations are being made by Miss Effle Hoke to give a music recital for| j her..scholars some time in April.—At i several places on Main street this tow;n, the road had to be dug open on account of water pipes of the main j line bursting.—Mrs. Knorr, who was j taken to the Fountain Springs Hos- I pltal, at Ashland, several weeks ago j | for medical treatment, is reported j | much improved.
