DUCTION OF E
Characteristics of Chickens Th
General Purpose Breeds-'
Plymouth Rock Mos
Breeds of poultry can be conveni
ently 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 een breeds of poultry the
primary rejiuirement is the produc
tion of a great number of eggs of
standard size. The fowls are not ex.
pe.ete(d to be prime table specimens,
but they muist lay tltrouglout the
year, except when they hav.: to rest
and recaperate. They do not sit and
hatch chickens and they lay white
shelled eggs. The more popular egg
breeds are Legharns, \linorcas, An
Lolas and ('alipines. The most popu
lar variety of those breeds is the Sin
gle Comb Witite 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
Lion behind it. Pullets from a heavy.
laying strain are better layers than
pullets of no special breeding.

How can one detect heavy laying
characteristics in a mature pullet or
hen? Notice the illustration of the egg
type hen. Note how her body resem
bles the wedge shape of the dairy
cow. Narrow and trim at her neck
and wide and deep at the rear, she
has the greater part of her body be
hind her legs. A good layer has a
htrge, soft, flexible rear end, drop
ping down between tier legs and so
wide that the legs are set far apart to
aceommodate it. The rear end of the
hen corresponds to the udder of the
dairy cow and must be large and yield
Ing, not small and hard.

A simple test of a good layer is to
measuro the distance from the two
pelvic bones (one on each side of tho
vent) to the rear end of the breast
bone. 'T'his distance should be as wido
as four f'ngers when the hen is lay
ing. When the hen has this depth and
is also wide across her rear it proves
that she has an abundance of room to
mtanufacture eggs constantly and par
ticularly the egg shells, which are
formed in this part of her body. Such
a hen will lay well when properly
cared for.
liens with a small distance between
the pelh ic bones and rear of breast
bone and tight or unyielding rear body
are not good layers. Put bands on the
legs of your layer and note how many
consecutive days they lay without
resting. That will show how long
each hen can maintain her egg flow
an dihe better layers are those which
can continue laying for longer periods.

Tie general purpose breeds have
been selected primarily for the pro
duction of table poultry. 'T'hey are
aiso rood 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 Isl
and Reds, Wyandottes and Orpingtons
The most popular variety is the lar
red Plymouth Rock. This is recog
nized as the best chicken for market
as it is large and well-neated and fat
tetns profitably when confined in
crates.

Dead Man Drives Horses.
While John 0. Gorritson sat dead
but bolt upright en the wagon seat,
the lax reins hanging between his
stiffening fingers, his teas of horses
traveled safely for more than two
miles the winding valley road at the
foot of Garret mountain from Lodi to
Richfield, N. J.
Gerritsen, sixty-seven years old of
341 Passaic avenue, Lodi, was one of
the largest contractors in that vicin
ity some years ago. lie started to
drivo from his home to the Marley
stone quarry 9t Richfield. Often his
team has passed over the road to the
quarry. At the familiar end of the
Journey the horses stopped.
Men at tho quarry saw Gerritsen
seated on the box, silent, motionless.
Was he asleep? They spoke to him,
they shook him, they lifted him from
the wagon. County Physician Arm
strong said heart failure had been fa.
tal to Gerritsen half an hour before
the horses drew up at the quarry.
Floating Base for Submarines.
The South American country of Bra.
zil namy soon possess an innovation for
subinrine wvarfare in the form of a
floating submarine base capable of
taking care of six submersibles of the
,400-ton type. It will be provided with
the niec(sbary auxiliary equipage for
charging the accumulators and air rea
ervoirs of the underwater craft.
The floating base, or tender, will be
326 feet long, 51-foot beam, and wit
have a draft of 13 feet. Sixty-six hun
dred horse power will be developed by
two six-cylinder Diesel engines, of th,
two-cycle single-acting tyi'e.
