JUST ONE NIGHT'S DANCING.
Many persons, not only of the so
called weaker but of the presuma
•>lv stronger sex, think that walking
a half-dozen blocks on some practi
cal errand is entirely too great a
physical effort, but think nothing at
all of dancing a good portion of the
night. It is interesting to see just
"hat dancing amounts to in the
"ay of exercise.
I lie average waltz requires a
dancer to travel over 1,300 yards,
and other dances average around
OoO yards. Dancing from 9 o’clock
into the following morning necessi
tates taking 28,000 steps, or a total
distance of over 11 miles. Fancy
the feelings of a girl if invited to
take an 11-mile walk, even if it were
proposed that she be accompanied
by a band of music!

NO BEST BREED OF POULTRY
There Are Three Classes Specially
Adapted to Production of Eggs
and Meat.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
There is no best breed of poultry.
That, at least, is the opinion of men
in the United States Department of
Agriculture who have been studying
the business for years, and have had
experience with all varieties of all
breeds In America. To go among
your friends and ask for advice about
the kind of chickens to start with
would be about as productive of con
flicting views as if you asked for help
in buying a motor car or a typewriter.
Every man has his likings, and some
have good reasons for them, but in the
end the beginner will have to be the
Judge; wherefore the opinion of the
department specialists will be about
the best guide: Keep only one vari
ety of breed, and select the breed
that suits your purpose best. He sure
of one thing—-have a standardbred
male at the head of the flock. Such a
bird will improve the quality of the
stock materially. A mongrel male
will produce no improvement.
These are the reasons: Standard
bred fowls produce uniform products
which bring higher prices.
Standsrdbred stock and eggs sold
for breeding purposes, bring higher
prices titan market quotations.
Standardbred fowls can be exhibit
ed, and thus compete for prizes.
Eggs and stock from mongrel fowls
are not sold for breeding purposes.
Mongrel fowls are not exhibited in '
poultry shows or expositions.
General-purpose breeds are best
suited to most farms where the pro
duction of both eggs and meat is de
sired. The four most popular repre
sentatives of this class are the Ply
mouth Rock, Wyandotte, Orpington,
and Rhode Island Red.
All these breeds, with the exception
of the Orpington, are of American or
igin. They are characterized by hav
ing yellow skin and legs, and lay
brown-shelled eggs. The Orpington is
of English origin, has a white skin,
and also lays brown-shelled eggs. Ton

can t^-t a detailed description of all
fowls of American origin in Farmers’
liulletiu 806 on “Standard Varieties of
Chickens. I. The American Claes,”
which may be had upon application
to the Division of Publications, United
States Department of Agriculture.
The Mediterranean or egg breeds
are best suited for the production of
white-sheiled eggs. Representatives of
this class are bred largely for eggs
rather than for meat. Among the
popular breeds are Leghorn, Minorca,
Ancona and Andalusian.
An outstanding characteristic of the
egg breeds is the fact that they are
classed ns nonsitters; that is, as a
rule they do not become broody and
hatch their eirirs. When fowls of this
class are kept, artificial incubation
and brooding usually arc employed.
Farmers’ Bulletin 898, “Standard Va
rieties of Chickens. II. The Mediter
ranean Class,” tells about this class.
Langshans, Brahmas, Cochins, and
Cornish fowls belong in the meat
breeds, rnther than for eggs, and al
though classed for meat nre some
times kept as general-purpose fowls.
They nre all heavier and Inrger than
the egg breeds, or those of the gen
eral-purpose class, and lay brown
shelled eggs. Farmers’ Bulletin 1052,
“Standard Varieties of Chickens. III.
Asiatic, Kngllsh, and French Classes”
describes the breeds in this class.
Fowls for breeding purposes should
be strong, healthy, vigorous birds. The
comb, face, and wattles should be a
bright red, eyes bright and fairly
prominent, head comparatively broad,
short, and not long or crow-shaped;
legs set well apart and straight, plu
mage clean and smooth.
The beginner In poultry will be care
ful to have a home ready for his Hock
before he gets it. Farmers’ Bulletin
889 contains suggestions, plans, and
directions every poultry keeper should
have. The Division of Publications 1
will send it upon request.
INFERTILE EGGS KEEP BEST
Are Preferred for All Purposes Except
Hatching and Can Be Kept for
Longer Period.
Ordinarily all eggs will be infertile
after the male has been separated
from the flock for two or three weeks.
Infertile eggs will keep much longer
than eggs that are fertile, and are
| best for all purposes except hatching. |
