The White Leghorn.
Observers for the Pennsylvania
Department of Agriculture re
port that in the last two years
the White Leghorn has bo gained
in numbers that today it out
numbers all other chickens in
the State.
Years ago the American
Dominique led; then for many
years the Bar ed Rock led; then
the Rhode Island Red pushe.1
this latter ir f'je race for pop
ualrity; now the Whke Leghorn
apparently leads.
Part of Uiis new development
lies in the premium white shelled
eggs are fetching. But a bigger
factor has been that the White
Leghorn is universally used on
the regular poultry or eggs farm
and these farms usually having
a "mammoth" incubator and
Belling day-old chicks, such chicks
were readily available and hence
were used.
Probably if Rock or Red chicks
had been as readily available this
change to White Leghorns would
not have occurred.
As an indication of the tremen
dous number of White Leghorn
eggs are produced in this State,
New York produce now quotes
eggs thus "Pennsylvania and
nearby whites fancy."
The White Leghorn is built for
egg production, has had more
breeding and-selection spent on
it for this specialty purpose than
probably all other breeds put
together and perhaps this turn
to popularity was inevitable.

Oar School.
Now that school has begun it
is to be hoped that superenter d-
ent, directors and teachers wi;l
get busy and epe that moral con
ditions on and wound the play
grounds are the best that can be
had, and that all unsightly and
immoral caricatures are removed
from buildings and thus help to
keep the minds of the children
from being polluted with impure
thoughts afterward to manifest
themselves in their lives.
Starting to school has been the
anxious hour of many a parent
who is trying to keep his child
in the path of purity and virtue.
Will you not help?
