poultry Is the wine at the object of
Baking standards of weight volume or

tabtished popular standard breed. By
doing so and by selecting ns breeders
only ns many of the best specimens
of the flock ns are needed to produce
tho chickens reared each year a poul-
try keeper maintains In his flock n
highly desirable uniformity of excel-
lence In every practical quality and
with little extra care and no extra cost
can have a pleasing uniformity In
color.
Each Breed Has Its Place.
To the novice In poultry kteplng It
often appears that there Is no real ne-
cessity lor so many breeds and varie-
ties as bare been standardized In
America Further acquaintance with
them however shows that although
color differences are In most cases
made merely to please the eye of
persons having different preferences
for color the differences In shape nnd
size which make breed character have
been developed with a view to adapt-
ing each to particular uses or par-
ticular conditions.
Leaving out of consideration the
breeds kept as novelties most of which
originated before Industrial progress
created a large demand for poultry
breed of fowl hare bees - m-1
developed oa the reseral principle c
practical quality the focadatloa of
breed character and valoe.
Classification of Useful Breeds
la harmony with this principle the
common dasslScatloa of breeds accord-
is; to their place In the general scheme
of poultry production divide thea
into three principal cUsses namely:
Laying breads meat breeds and gen-
eral purpooe breeds that la breeds
that are cot aa ady and persistent
eg; producers are the laying brreds
and cot as meaty and as easy to fat-
tea as the meat breeds yet combine
In one Individual fowl Tery good laying
capacity with Tery good table quality.
The Leghorn. Minorca. Andaluian.
Ancooa and Campine are well-known
breeds of the laying cUm; the Brah-
ma. Dorking and Corn! a of the meat
dast; the Plymouth Hock. Wyandotte.
Rhode Island Red and Orpington of
the geoeral purpose das.
Characteristics of Eaj Breeds
The breeds mentioned as the laying
claw with the exception of the Mi-
norca are relatively small very en-
ergetic and lively mature early and
are eaIly kept In good laying condl-
I tlon. The Minorca Is of larger size
and modified somen hat In the other
particulars mentioned yet has more
the character of the laying daxs than
any other.
Characteristics of Meat Breeds.
In the meat breeds there Is not the
same uniformity of type that Is found
In thi laying breeds. The three men-
tioned are quite different. The Brah-
ma Is more popular because It Is at
the same time the largest and the
roott rugged In constitution. Tho
Dorking excels In quality of meat but
Is generally considered somewhat lack-
ing In hardiness. The CornUh is rath-
er hard-meated bat being very short-
feathered has Its spedal place ns a
large meat producing fowl In south-
erly sections where the more heavily
feathered Brahma docs cot stand th
summers well. i
Characteristics of General Purpose
Breeds.
Among the poputar breeds of the
general purpose tlass there are also
differences In type adapting breeds
to different uses. The Plymouth Bock
Is generally regarded as the type meet-
ing the widest range of requirements
In the general purpose class. I
The Wyandotte Is a little smaller'
and earlier maturing bnt atlll very
well meated and easy to fatten. '
The Rhode Island Red has nearly tb
same standard of weight as the Wy-
andotte but Is a more active bird not
putting on fat so readily; consequent-

ly It approaches the laying type and
Is popular with those who wont eggs
and meat but want eggs most.
The Orpington Is at the other ex-
treme In the general purjwe class be-
ing a heavier meatier fowt than the
Plymouth Rock.
Breed for Every Purpose.
Such a list of breeds a fords to wide
a range of choice that poultry keepers
can always select a standard breed
better adapted to their locality and
their purpose than any non-standard
stock they can procure and having the
further advantage of reproducing true
to type.
FRESH WATER FOR CHICKENS
During Cold Weather Vessels Should
Be Looked After Twice Dally to
Insure Supply.
Cold weather does not diminish a
hen's need of clean fresh wnter. As
every egg laid Is near 00 per cent wa-
ter the hen must have a supply or
eggs will be lacking. Ice will not take
Its place. Sec to It on cold days thai
water vessels are looked after twice
dally to Insure there being an avail.

France the French promptly retaliat-
ed by an air raid on the model dty of
Stuttgart.
Xo two dtles could be more unlike
or more characteristic of their respec-
tive countries than Bar-le-Duc and
Stuttgart. As Bar-le-Duc Is the sym-
bol of poetry romance and antiquity.
Stuttgart Is the personification of all
that Is modern sdentlfic and military-
Stuttgart Ls the capital of Wurtem-
berg and before the war had a popu-
lation of 2S0.000 which Included some
of Its suburbs and a garrison of 32.000
men which was stationed there. It ls
delightfully situated surrounded by
ctractlve suburbs and cmld vine-clad
beJrhts. It ls two and a half miles
from the Neckar river. In the valley
of the Nesecbach. All around It are
vineyards which cover the nearby
hills while the distant mountains are
In tight.
It is a thoroughly modern town al-
though Its charter does date back to
1223. There are few buildings cf an
earlier date than the nineteenth cen-
tury and many of them are of archi-
tectural Importance. The stately ap-
pearance of the dty Is owing to the
pronounced adherence of Its architects
to the Renaissance type ef building.
Instead of the varieties of style most
dtles permlL Nowhere else in the
world Is the revival of the Renaissance
style as well illustrated as In Stutt-
gart. Seme ef Its Great Buildings.
A spadous street the Konlgstrasse
extends diagonally from southwest
to northeast through the dty and
borders the beautiful park the
Schlossplatz which Is adorned with
statues flower beds and pleasure
grounds. In the center Is a Jubilee
column In memory of William L The
most prominent buildings are clus-
tered around the Schlossplatz. Among
these are the old palace from the
ilxteentb century; the new palace
from the eighteenth century and con-
taining 270 apartments; the splendid
Kontgsban a huge modern building
with a fine collonade containing ball
nnd concert rooms ; the Akademle for
merly the seat of the Karlschule
where Schiller received part of his ed-
ucation; the Royal library the Court
theater the palace of the Duchess
Vera of Wurtemburg and the palace
of the crown prince. Besides these
there are numerous fine churches
museums and other Institutions. Not
far from the Schlossplatz are the
court of Justice the royal stables the
new post office the Central railroad
station the finest in Germany and
many fine statues. Besides the Jubilee
column there ls another to the mem-
ory of Emperor William 1; one to
Duke Kberhard the Bearded; a really
splendid one to Schiller by Thorwald-
sen and est to Christopher duke of
Wurtemberg.
The art galleries and museums of
Stuttgart are numerous and valuable.
The Museum of Art has a fine col-
lection of pictures casts and engrav-
ings. The Royal library contains
about 003000 printed volumes; 5550
manuscripts many of them of great
value and the largest collection of
Bibles in the world there being 7300
volumes In more than a hundred dif-
ferent languages. There are 2-100
rpedmens of early printing. It is
perhaps the finest library In Germany
nnd Is considerably larger than our
own Carnegie library of Pittsburgh.
Fine Industrial Museum.
The Industrial museum contains
samples and spedmens of the tex-
tile fabrics machines tools patterns
models etc of nearly every country
In the world all labeled with sped-
fla.Uoa of patents tmde marks and

price lists. The importance of this
collection to the German Industries
cannot be overestimated. Of French
and English fabrics alone there are I
2SO.000 samples while of French and I
German carpets there are 70000 sped- I
mens. There ls a museum of natural
history that Is wonderful and valu-
able. In one of the palaces ls a col-
lection of Majolica vases that was
purchased in Venice in the eighteenth"
century. The Wurtemburg Museum
of Antiquities contains every sort of
relic Imaginable from royal cabinets
and armor to a pack of cards painted
In the fifteenth century. To see all
the objects In these museums and gal-
leries would take a lifetime and thea
one would not have seen half.
Stuttgart Is the center of a network
of railroads. It ls also the center of
the bookmaking and publishing Indus-
try of south Germany. It ls noted for"
its excellent educational Institutions
and especially Its Conservatory of
Music where many Americans have
received their musical education. It
has a technical high school that con-
fers the degree of doctor of engineer-
ing also a veterinary high school and
a school of arc
Home of Famous Men.
There are a number of great men
who have lived In Stuttgart. Among
them are HegeL the philosopher who
was born In 1770; Dannecker th
sculptor also claimed It as hla birth-
place; the poet Schiller was educated
there his father being the inspector
of the gardens of the Karlschule;
Gustav Schwab the poet lived there
end Is buried In the Iloppenlau cem-
etery; and the tomb of Johann Beuch-
lln. the humanist is In one of the
churches.
We can imagine the prido the Ger-
mans have in this beautiful dty
which fs a model for all munldpall-
tles and the consternation there must
have been when it was attacked by
airplanes. It seems an outrage to de-
stroy what is beautiful and valuable
and when the Germans realize the
danger and perhaps loss of some of
their own art treasures it Is to be
hoped they will recognize the perfidy
of their own act In destroying the ca-
thedrals of Louvaln end Reims.
Beau Brummtll 8tory.
In Gen. Sir George Ulgginson's M8er
enty-One Tears of a Guardsman's Life"
there ls a good story of Beau Brum-
melL The author had It from the late Lord
Lyndhurst who knew him welL
Someone who no doubt wished to
disconcert him by allusion to his par-
entage asked In the presence of some
of bis admirers:
"Pray Mr. BrummelL haw are your
good father and mother?"
"Thank you" was the reply "quite
well when I left then half an hour
ego; but by this time they have prob-
ably cut their throats l"
"Good heavens l" exclaimed several
of the bystanders "you must be speak-
ing In Joke."
"Not at all" he said with a quiet
tone of appredatlon of the motives
of his questioner; "they were eating
peas with their knives."
Conscience Satisfied.
"Lizzie will you be miner
"Not on your life I"
"Dont you love meT"
"No I don't and never did."
"Are you sure?"
"Absolutely sure I I would rather
be shot than marry youl"
"Thank you for them kind words
Lizzie. I bad to ask somebody to mar-
ry me In order to do my duty but now
that I have been refused I will never
have to ask anybody else. Now my con-
science will allow me to be a merry old
bachelor and have money for my ok)

HIGH IN RED
Oa the first day of the year 1S73
In a little hamlet too small even to
be listed oa the Russian map Louis
J. Horowitz was born. He was very
quiet that first day of January and
he has been reticent ever since but
Us wonderful success has proved the
old maxim that "still water runs
deep." Mr. Horowitz has been named
by the war coundl for the post of
director of foreign relief of the Amer-
ican Red Cross. Furthermore be has
volunteered to urte without compen-
sation. For 17 years he remained In Chen-
stochowa where he attended school
and learned that to run afoul of the
czar would be Inviting a free trip to
Siberia. At that time the United
States held out golden opportunities
so thought Louis and he embarked
for the "land of the free and the
home of the brave." After stopping
in New York a few years taking such
Jobs as offered themselves he settled down in a small way In the real estate
business. It was cot long before the financial methods he employed In his
real estate venture brought him to the nttentfon of the largest construction
company In the country and he was Installed ns a financial adviser at the time
thla country was passing through a period of money shortage. Times wero
panicky and many concerns more prosperous than the one he wns connected
with went to the wall but through his Intuition and grasp of every angle of
the business his concern weathered the storm.
