Characteristics of Chickens Tha
General Purpose Breeds?V
Plymouth Rock Mos1
Breeds of poultry can be conveni- |
ntly divided into two classes: (1) !
the egg breeds, and (2) the general !
purpose breeds. This division is like
that of cattle into beef and dairy
types, and of horses into light and
heavy classes.
In the egg breeds of poultry the
primary requirement is the production
of a great number of eggs of
standard size. The fowls are not expected
to be prime table specimens, j
but they must lay throughout the
rear, except when they have to rest
and recuperate. They do not sit and j
hatch chickens and they lay whiteihelled
eggs. The more popular egg ,
breeds are Leghorns, Minorcas, An:onas
and Campinee. The most popular
variety of these breeds is the Single
Comb White Leghorn.
^ All large egg farms are stocked
with White Leghorn pullets and hens,
because it is possible to obtain
breeding stock In this variety that
has ''blood lines of heavy egg produc- !

A simple test of a good layer Is to
measure the distance from the two
pelvic bones (one on each side of the
vent) to the rear end of the breastbone.
This distance Bhould be as wide
as four fingers when the hen is laying.
When the hen has this depth and
is also wide across her rear it prove#
that she has an abundance of room to
manufacture eggs constantly and particularly
the egg shells, which are
formed in this part of her body. Such

Hens with a small distance between
the pelvic bones and rear of breastbone
and tight or unyielding rear body
are not good layers. Put bands on the
legs of your layers and note how many
consecutive days they lay without
resting. That will 9how how long
each hen can maintain her egg flow
an dthe better layers are those which
can continue laying for longer periods.

The general purpose breeds have I
been selected primarily for the production
of table poultry. They are
~&>so good layers of brown-shelled eggs.
They hatch their chicks and are the
most satisfactory for those who want
one flock of purebred chickens for
both meat and egg purposes. The
more popular of the general purpose
breeds are Plymouth Rocks, Rhode Island
Rede, Wyandottes and Orpingtons I
The most popular variety Is the Bar-'
red Plymouth Rock. This is recog-|
nized as the best chicken for market
as it is large and well-meated and fat-i

Explosives In Road Building
One of the newer methods of road
building that is fust winning the indorsement
of the better versed contractor
is that of employing dynamite for
reducing the heavy work.
Grading through hard ground or rock,
for instance, is tedious uud r iuires
time and labor. The use of dynamite
for blasting such material is a welcome
relief. Roth rock and hard clay may

charges of explosives if holes are drilled
into the ground a little way up the
bank and loaded. Careful spacing and
loading for electrically tired blasts will
result in bringing down both classes of
materials In the best possible manner
... _ ? U
In loosening shale and rock to facilitate
hand or steam shovel work dynamite
is also very effective, while stumps
may be blasted from the roadbed just
as though they were being removed
from a held to be cleared and cultivated.

suitable loading and when of hard rock
may be crushed intp surfacing: stone.
The side ditches as well as the long
outfall ditches can also be blasted in
keeping with the nature of the ground.
In fact, there are no limits practically
to the many uses and advantages of
dynamite for road building when careful
and thoughtful attention Is given
to the work.
Incidentally the planting of shade
trees for roadside improvement and attractiveness
is greatly facilitated by
the Judicious use of a little dynamite
It is a recognized fact that trees planted
in blasted holes grow much more
rapidly and progress more favorably
than those planted in the average spade
dug ground.
Borrowers?Beware!
Gophers and prairie dogs are the
bane of westerq funners. while in the

animals that cause the tillers
of the soil to forget some of the things

rancher, says "dynamite is the proper
