PLYMOUTH BOCKS.
All who have bred Plymouth Rocks
are aware, and they who have not and
intend to should take heed, that the t'ly-
mouth Rock cock is naturally lighter
than the hens; and. says the Scientific
Poultryman, it is the custom of breeder
of show birds to mate light o s with
dark pullets and nse extra dai k cocks to
get dark cocks ana extra Jignt ones to
get light liens that is, hens to mate the
cock thus making up a pen tnatwiu
look very nice on exniDition ; out, u you
breed the pen, the result will be dark
pullets, and the next season you will be
farther away from the desired result thou
before, and you will be compelled to
mate them with a very light cock to get
the pullets lighter. It is as natural tor
the Plymouth Rock cock to be lighter
than the hens as for the Brown Leghorn
cock to be darker than the hens; and, it
we want to breed to a uniform color, the
only way is to select medium light hens,
bluish gray, barred with dark or blue,
the bars being distinct, the cock being a
little lighter than the hens, mating each
year the same way. If breeders will fol
low this rule, they will find that the Ply
mouth Rock will breed truer ana win do
able to breed (how birds; otherwise we
must hove two separate matings, one for
cocks and one for pullets, which is not
always convenient for parties who can
only keep one yard. It is too much like
a first cross on two varieties ; soma ot
them look verv nice, but the next breed
ing is away off.
habit w cow. : -Every
man who handles cows should.
remember that they are creatures of
habit. Habit made them, and habit
alone will continue them in the line of
their good work. To make use ol this
knowledge we should always and on all
occasions treat the cow as nearly as pos
sible m the same way. She is fond of
her home life and its monotonous rou
tine, and any deviation from that tread
mill method greatly disturbs her equa
nimity, and that disturbance acts imme
diately on her milk-giving organs greatly
to the loss ot tne man wno owns uer.
We hove not found that she even likes a
change of food, except from dry to grass,
and that upsets the milk yieia tor a tew
days. She must have the same stall and
the same companions; sne must do
milked by the same man. If you have
got into the practice, which some men
condemn, of feeding her while you milk,."
then keep it up, lor it has become a
habit with her, and without it she will
be restless and inclined to hold up her
milk. '

Tho constitution of many animals has
been ruined by breeding from young or
immature parents. A good sow will givo
thirty pounds of milk in twenty-four
hours. It has been tested and is known
to be a lact. If a litter of pigs would
make a growth of four or five pounds in
twentv-four hours, it stonds to rea?on
that, if seven pounds of milk will make
one pound of growth in a young pig of
the age of one week, a sow must neces
saiily give at least thirty pounds of milk
in twenty-four hours. Mistreatment ol
a brood sow should never be allowed :
