MERITS OF COCHIN VARIETY Excellent Producers of Eggs in Win- ter and Young Chickens Are Fairly Good on the Table. Cochins have certainly the merit of laying well In winter, due probably to their profuse feathering, which pre- vents undue evaporation of heat. Young chickens are fairly good on the table, but when older they cannot be regarded as even passable in that re- spect. The flesh ig at all times very yellow, and more largely developed on the thighs than the breast. This is due to the fact that Cochins are not fiyers; they have only small wings, whilst very large ones would be need- The weight which Cochins attain is | very good indeed. Adult cocks range | from twelve to fifteen pounds, hens | eight to eleven pounds, and cockerels | and pullets two to three pounds less. | They are very hardy, and can stand | almost any place and soil, but they do best on short, level grass, for the foot feather is broken and spoiled | when on long grass nr rough ground.

The breast, coverts, wing butt, under parts, tail and leg feathers are black, and the saddle and hackle golden red or orange. This refers to cocks, and the hens are equally effective, as the light brewn plumage is distinctly pen clied with a darker shade. Feeding for Result.

THE REAL END for sustaining the milk flow. The result may be accomplished by com- pounding a ration of four pounds of ground corn, three pounds of rolled barley, seven pounds of alfalfa hay and 31 pounds of corn silage. The barrel is the business part of the cow, hence it should be well rounded and long. The ribs should be far apart and well sprung The should be long and slightly arched. The long tail is simply an back lindication of a long spinal column. The legs should be curved out, in order to give ample room for the ud- der between. This should be square, well set behind and extending well forward The teats should neither be too long or too short, and set square on the four quarters The texture of the udder should be like that of a soft glove, so that when it is milked out, it would collapse. The whole form should be wedge-shaped. No one of these points taken alone guide: taken collectively Bing—Yes; he was killed by a blow from a policeman’s club. !
