Wa beliave tbe desire for "benvy weights" (or overweight birds) ia an error and sbonld ba diaoouragad. In getting tbe overweight we get big, coarse framed, rangy birds that are slow matariug and make slnggisli laying birds and are poor property generally. Take tbe first case as aa example. writer of that letter has bean breeding for eggs for several years, and has boilt up a strain of Barred Plymouth Rooks ttei lay 180 eggs apiece within a year of reaching laying roatnrity. In doing that he finds that bis birds have fallen off a fruciioo in siae, which ia perfectly natural, because it is tbe generally "flue" type of bird that is the great layer. Will not he be better off if be preserves tbe great laying nbaracterts- tics of his stook, even if they are off a frsetion in siae, than to breed beck toward tbe big, coarse, rangy type, and an ■acrifloe tbe great laying qoalltiea of his stock? We believe aa

The Barred Plymonth Rock fowl of standard waigbt is a little above tbe popular market siae. The atanilani weight (or tbe hens is ponnds,and a fowl that dresses 6 to ponnds sells quickest, tbe average buyer giving the preference, other things being equal, to birds that weigh 10 to 11 pounds to tbe pair; hence Plymouth Hocks can be off in sise and be the lietter market bird. If by being a fraction off in siu* we get tbe fine boned and fine bodied bird that is the great layer, there is a very anb- stautial gam to her credit.

Them is still another point to be coo- sidered. and that is that the big. coarse birds emrry m considerably greater proportion of waste (bone frame) to meat, and the shrewd buyer appreciates that fact. We don'teat tbe bês of a fowl. It is the meat we boy them (or, and tba "fine" lioned birds are worth more per pound than tbe big boned, "ooarse” birds beoaose they carry more meat in proportion to bone. This fact should be better understood, and aa tbe fine boned type of bird ia tbe better layer and better for market that is the type of bird to breed.

Care •( Poaltrr-The unsanitary condition of tbe poul

try boose often allows aartous diseases to spread among tbe fowls, and for this reason, if for no other, tbe tmildings, nests and vards should be kept as clean as possible. Tbe droppings should be leninved from the houses every day, sad to facilitate tbe work then* should be no unuiMMssary fixtures. The roosting bewrds should be two feet from the floor and placed so that they may be removed easily. In my own poultry house 1 have slots at either side, in which the ends of tbe roosting boards rest. One objection to this arrangement is that th** slots may harbor lice, but If kerosene or lime is applied plentifully tbe Hoe will cause no trouble. Each day, when I have removeti the droppings from the bouses, I scatter lime or ashes on tbe floor, roosts, etc. Tb** houses should fre«|ueatly be whitewashed inside and outside, fresh straw placed in the nests, and that which ia removed tiumed or place<l on the manun* heap. In winter a shed of any desirixl sise, under which the fowls may lie fed ill stornir weather. is a necessity. To obtain the liest re- solta in egg profluctioii some green food mnst be provided. Cabbage ami beets are inexpensive and give good results. —Mat 8. Green in Land and a Living.

shown by tbe oxpsrienoe of Wyckoff of Mew York state, who by selecting the best layers among bis flook of Leghorns for several years got bis whole flook of 600 up to an average of 196 eggs per ben a year. This ia an extremely high average for so many hena on one farm. It meaas better than an egg every other day for every hen the yeai round.

poor oisea. h# contends that It would raauli In a graat savtng to the psopts. The bill provldas for the elaetion la avery township and ward In the state of a board of coaclllatlon to be cons* pooed of three members to whom all personal disputes and wrangles bs* tween etttaens must be rsferred.

Uaa Utspsae mt the Ulaputaa.This board Is to have power to dis*

pose uf these disputes, aad In no case Is the psr»>n runsldering himself og* grieved to have recourse to the courts unless the board so decides. I^)r In* stance, if a couple of neighbors get Into a (luarrel over the depredatloiu of chickens In the garden of one of them, and the other is Inclined to sue for damages and all that, the rsme must be referred to the l>oanl of conciliation of the township or ward, and unless It consents no suit can be brought. The Idea Is to have these petty quarrels settletl out of court by neighbors who are acv]uatnted with all the parties, and who arc thus qualified to bring about aa amicable adjustment of the dlfll* cully. It Is authoritatively asasrted that the effect of this law In Minnes'.ota has been to reduce the expense of lltl* gaticfi to the taxpayers alone, to say nothing of the saving to individual suit* ors. of 40 per cent, a year. A similar bill has passed one house of the legislature of both North and Routh iM* kota and bids fair to become a law In each of those states. It does not apply to criminal proceedings, which are left to be disposed of by prosecuting attorneys, nor to <llflferenoes In which corporations arc invoive*!. Mr. I*atk call; It '’the poor man's bill.” und he pr- pf»ses to push It vig.ir u»ly, although admitting that its imssage would drive many attorneys from the state.

Karnier* Like Wayrse's Hill.There are scores of farmers through

out the state who will yearn for the passage of Itcpresentatlve Wayne's bill which exempts from taxation all farm mortgages which bear Interest at the rate of 4 per cent, or less, and it Is not unlikely that there will be found (Wpl* tallsts who will advocate the measure. Hhould the bill l>ecome a law It would have the effect of bringing «>ut of the savings lianks a vast amount of money that is lying there drawing interest of from 2H to per cent.

! compllahed on that ilay. The bills prepared by I he Joint >onimlttees to which this entire subject was relerred a fortnight ago are now in the hands of the house, and ihere will be nothing from now on to deter that body from going ahead with their runslderation 'Two copies of the .Mklnson bill will be available any time a majority of the houst- may desire to make use of them, thej' having be.-n IntrcMluced during the rush Incident to the last day for the Introduction of bills, one being sent to the friendly <ommlitee or. revision of the laws, and the other put on the table. It Is expected that the action to be taken by the state convention touching this subject win be a potent factor In determining what sort of a bill shall be P»s»ed. There seems to be a genuine desire on the i>art of the large majority of the legislators to enact some law or series of laws that will approximate equal taxation, and It Is not Improbable that an Income tax law will be one of the features of the legtalation enacted.

The senate took a whirl at the Atkinson bill a few evenings ago. It having l>een Intrixluced In that body on the nr- tleth day of th<- session. An attempt was made to make the consideration of the Mil the spc-lai order for today, but this was deemed too soon by a majority, and the spe<-lal order was flxed for March 6 The vote on the earlier date was 14 to 12. an Indication that the senate Is very equally divided on the main question

says the Introducer <>f the bill, "Is that Its provisions contemplate that the constitutional requirement that property be assessed nt Its true cash value shall not be (omplied with. If this were not so there would be no necessity for county equollutlon. As a matter of fact the present Isw makes It an object for every asseesing offiter to undervalue the property In his district. In order to escape state and >-ounty taxation to as great an extent aa possible. and the same object la presented to the board of luiierviaors to equalise the property of the county so that as much state taxation as |>osslble may be avoided.”

A most novel action so far as the Michigan legislatun- Is concerned was taken by the senate a few days ago. not. however, without a struggle. .\a la well known a numlwr of bllla toelthcr repeal or reduce the beet sugar bounty have been Introduced. These bills are In the hands of the commltteee. none having been considered even In committee meetings. In view of this fact the reader will readily appreciate the

* novelty of a resolution which declared ' It to be the sense of the legislature that ' the bounty be not changed at this aes-

slon. Such a resolution was offered by Benator Brown of Kalamaaoo. who gave

j as his reason for offering It. the fact that the agitation of the reduction or

, repeal of the bounty had made capital ; timid and was impeding the progreM I of the beet sugar industry In Michigan.I Hla object waa to quiet theee fears as I far as poaalble In order that projected ! factoriee might not be abandoned.

VIgsfwwsiT rippassa.to My that ! 'The reaolutlon waa vigorously op

posed on the ground that It forMtalled action on the bllla. aa every senatorvot- tng for them would be at least morally bound to vote against any Mil which proposes any change In the bounty. A number of the senators were abeent, and the reeolutloo was adoptad by a vote of M to 7. It is freely predicted

There waa aih-tK-v* ill the iiouM* when I paaaefi through on my way to the front fbair. Hut that ailem-i* had Inat ita tem-ra and the old honae ita aliMirbing myatery.

And the end waa ma yet, Feacefal aa everything lookeii thw UMimiug, I atill felt t^t Um* •«il had not come.

“How could Im* indeed?

Munroe, of St. Johns, who will attend to all our sales, construction and contracts for this territory this year, the same as last.
