THE DORKINGS.
If there was a dispute as to which
cock crew thrice when Tetcr denied
his Lord, the Game or the Dorking,
we rather think the evidence would
say the Dorking, for, though the Game
is of great antiquity, the Dorking was
in particular a Koman favorite, borne
by them side by side with the Koman
eagle and made the fowl of the land
added to the empire by conquest A
peculiarity of the Dorking is the fifth
toe, and this peculiarity is one reason
for their mention In ancient history
by Pliny and Columella.
The fowl's antiquity was attested
by the excavations at Pompeii, de
stroyed by earthquake T9 A. D. There
a large mosaic was unearthed contain
ing the perfect picture in stone of the

Dorking, showing that it was a fa
vorite with those ancients. England
is the modern home of the Dorking. -
Caesar bore it there 53 B. C, when
be conquered the ancient Britons, and,
though they hated Caesar, they esteem
ed the fowl and made it the national
breed, naming It after Darklng, now
Dorking, in Surrey.
Ancient pictures and the mosaic from
the ruins of Pompeii show the fifth
toe and shape characteristics of the
Dorking as they appear today.
The varieties are the Colored, Silver
Gray and White, the last with rose
comb.
All along down the centuries the

market fowl, and. well bred and well
fed. It is bard to beat
It is large, with a long, broad, low
set body, full wide breast deep keel
and is short legged, solid, compact
It has white shanks and the white
skin and pink flesh so popular with
the English. It seems specially con
structed for meat development and the
production of big egs.
The Silver Gray Is most popular, and
the Colored Dorking is largest
DON'TS.
Don't be weary of the w ay. Remem
ber the hosts who have passed on who
thought not of themselves alone, but
tried to make the path smoother and
brighter for those to follow them. We
pass this way but once, so let It be
ivith good cheer and noble deeds.
Don't forget t hat there is a golden
mean in feeding. It's not the amount
a hen eats, but what she digests and
assimilates, that brings the profit
Don't tackle poultry on a large scale
until you have made it pay on a mod
erate plant
Don't expect bony, skinny stock to
escape the detection of the city buyer.
He will often class the whole ship
ment by a few such poor birds.
Don't ship live poultry in undersized
crates. It Is cruel, poor business pol
icy and unlawful.
Don't use any kind of an old box for
shipping dressed poultry nor old, stain
ed, musty crates for eggs. They de
tract from the appearance of the goods
and put the shipper In the bughouse

EASTER HATS CHEAP.
Raster comes but once year,
And many men are alsd.
For. thou! it should be otherwise,
Easter makes thorn sad.
Because those Easter bats are hth.
And women, don't you know.
Must be in siylo-here, don't you smite!
If hats are h gh or low.
But Johnny Poo of our row
Has ceased to be the goat
It costs him not a stnitte red
It wile wants hat or coat.
And John has seven daughters too.
Oh, fathers, think of that
It each one took you by the par
And hollered for a hat!
John bought his wife some Leghorn henr
And irave each girl some too,
Well, now, you ought to see the tun!
Oh, goodness, what adol
Those women have an egg contest
And egg money ahem!
They do not need to ask for cash
From "these tight ttsted men."
John's women folks-my. how they dresst
John has cash in the bank.
And no one but the humble hen
lias Johnny Doe to thank.
Friend, when your wife cornea cooing
round
About that Easter bonnet
Just throw your arm around her neck
And read her this aweet sonnet
Then give her some nice Leghorn hens.
And hats will come like tun.
Those hens will jump right on the neat.
And, pop, they'll lay her one!

KURIOS FROM KORRESPON DENTS
Q. What is wrong when cock't
comb turns dark? A. It's a sign of
indigestion, weak heart, diseased liver,
sluggish circulation or frostbite.
Q. I have a Leghorn cockerel with
a lop comb. How can I make him
carry it straight? A. If mlsshapd.
thin at base or has deep finger marks,
you can't change it This trouble la
often the result of weakness from lack
of nutritious food, the inroads of lice
or loosening of comb through roup. In
these cases removal of cause generally
makes comb correct
Q. If you were to start a goose farm,
what variety would you choose? A.
The White Embden.
Q. What do you tblnk of moth balls
for louse killer in winter? A. The
laying hens aren't on the nest often
enough to get any benefit from them
and only touch them with the under
body. The worst lice are on the neck
and bead. Moth balls are apt to flavor
the eggs.
Q. What Is meant by a top cross
of Rhode Island Red and White Leg

FEATHERS AND EGGSHELLS.
Twelve dozen chickens are killed and
dressed every Saturday by the poultry
class at the Kansas experiment sta
tion. This certainly beats the lessons
on "How to Dress Poultry by Mail"
Issued by the correspondence school.
Yes, practical work tells In every de
partment of life.
Many do not realize what a bard
worker the hen is. From dawn to
twilight she is on the go, and all for
food to keep up ber body and manu
facture ber product If a dairy cow
does not get suitable and sufficient
feed she does not produce quantity
and quality In milk, and just so with
the bard working hen she can't make
something out of nothing.
The latest convert to poultry culture
Is Charles M. Schwab, the steel mag
nate. He is building a concrete, steam
heated, electrically lighted poultry
plant on bis farm at Lorttto, pa. We
remind him that It takes good strains,
great pains, good grains and burnished
brains, as well as boodle, to get there
with cockadoodle.
The Clmlx lectularius. commonly
known as the bedbug, alias the crim
son rambler, In slang the B flat Is
branded a transmitter of tuberculosis
and other contagious diseases, and hu
mans afflicted with 'em should dispose
of them quickly 'without a trial by
Jury. The Dermanyssus galllnae. the
red mite or bedbug of the hen tribe, as
It crawls from ben to ben. also Is a
carrier of microbes and often spreads
a disease whose presence is hard to ex
plain. The old story that the cackling of
geese saved Rome is old evidence of
their watchdog quality. A stranger, a
strange dog or a bawk comes In sight
and without fail the old gander and
his whole crowd start to bonk. They
have been known to sound the fire
alarm and to sound the Alamo when
chicken thieves appeared, and such
rubberneck cops are good to have
around.
The farmer Is very careful that the
bog, sheep or beef he sells is lu fine
condition for market but be seldom
prepares bis poultry for sale and often
Just grabs the chickens off the roost at
night and starts with then) for market
the next day before daylight This
slipshod way of doing business has led
to the establishment of great fatten
ing plants near Chicago, where the
farmer's thin chickens are finished
and sold at a big profit that goes Into
the other fellow's pocket
Mr. John J. Sweeney of 172 East Ninety-fourth
street New York, bought a
cold storage egg and wrote to a Miss
Clara Baker of Bellefontalne, O..
whose name was on the egg. She had
been married four years and recalled
that six months before the wedding
she bad packed the egg for shipment.
This is rather an old egg. but there are
others.
While glass lets In the light and
sun's heat it is also a rapid conductor
of heat, and this Is why henhouses
with big glass fronts get cold so quick

A Call For Recognition
Are there any hero medals applied tor up
to date?
la there one to fit a man obscure and
humble In his (me.
Vet one who risks his life and does the
very best he can
To obviate the diiuger that beset his fel
low man;
Who faces Icy gulps and never flinches
from the blast;
Who saves men, women, children, think
ing of himself the last?
t'pon that simple cStlson some passing
thought bestow
Who puts ashes on the sidewalk after
hoveling off the snow.
Oh, kind philanthropist, while honoring
those whose records claim
A public's admiration and a monument of
fame
Contrive some decoration that will cause
the family's eyes
To look on dear old father as a hero and
a prise!
Think of the many mortals who, as they
passed on in line.
Were saved from fractured foreheads or
concussion of the spine.

wortd may know,
"He put ashea on the sidewalk after (hov

TELLS WHY IMMIGRANTS
FAIL IN MENTAL TESTS.
At Worst Upon Arrival, Saya Federal
Surgeon Illiteracy Negligible,
The difficulties confronting the men
who examine Immigrants for the pur
pose of discovering their precise mental
qualities, and especially whether they
are defectives, are discussed by Dr. E.
K. Sprague, surgeon of the United
Stales public health service, in the
Survey. Where doubt exists the
alien should receive the benefit of it
be says.
These Immigrants, says Dr. Sprngue,
are packed into box cars and rushed to
the port of embarkation, where they
are either subjected to an examination
of more or less rigor before boarding
the steamer or crowded into detentlou
pens to await the sailing. Once em
barked, new horrors await them. They
suffer all the torments of those unac
customed to the sea. After ten days
or a fortnight they arrive In port.
where a trial, in many respects the
climax, awaits them. While they are
in a condition of half fright and half
sickness, w ith nerves shaken and cour
age at the lowest ebb, they must un
dergo a thorough medical examination.
Many of them have also to undergo a
test to prove that they possess suffi
cient intelligence to face the struggle
for existence In their new environment
Dr. Sprague observes that it would
be well within bounds to say that
many of these new immigrants are in
a state of mental frenzy when tbey
come up for examination and that the
attitude of the Interpreter may be sib h
as to excite or even frighten the sub
ject, placing him in such a state that
be Is far from able to do himself Jus
tlce.
"The examiner must discriminate,'
warns Dr. Sprague. "It is necessary
to differentiate between Ignorance,
mental dullness or stupidity, psychic
depression and congenital mental defi
ciency. Is the depression temporary?
Is the subject capable of mental de
velopment, and will be avail himself
of opportunities to that end? Such are
the difficulties and questions arising
daily."
Concerning the question of Illiteracy.
Dr. Sprague says:
"Illiteracy Is almost always a negli
gible consideration In this and in oth
er countries where psychic research
has been carried on. "Among Amerl
cans If one cannot read or write and
any Intelligent attempts have been
made to acquire these elementary ac
complishments the case is of easy so
lution. Illiteracy runs very high
among the Immigrants 35 to 40 per
cent. The fact that they cannot read
or write Is no criticism of their ability,
but it renders tbem more difficult to
handle."
A THEATER FOR THE FARM.
North Dakota College Plans Model For
Homes, Schools and Churches.
A new force for culture In rural com
munltles has been Initiated by the
North Dakota agricultural college in
the "little country theater" enterprise,
according to Dean W. T. Sumner, cler
gyman and sociologist of Chicago.
"The plan is original and I predict
It will extend over the entire United
States," be said.
The idea, which was advanced by
Professor Arvold. In charge of public
speaking and debating at the college,
calls for the establishing of a model
theater In miniature, suitable for use
In large farm houses, country school
houses, village halls, churches and else
where. The scenery is simple, readily
and cheaply constructed by the Inex
perienced from a set of rough plans.
The Idea Is to have one act produc
tions in order to make the expense
small.
Dean Snmner says the enterprise will
be an Incentive to communities to or
ganize consolidated rural schools and
social centers In order to have larger
and more convenient halls.
Fossil of Pliocene Man?
The first seeming proof thnt man
lived In the pliocene nae, when the
earth's surface began to assume Its
present form, has come to view In the
I,ft Urea (Oil.) clay licds, where Dr
Krank S. Daggett, diic-tor of the Mu
scum of History, Science and Art, hn
men lit work uncovering prehistoric
bones. The find is declared to be the
skeleton of a man who lived on earth
hundreds of thousands of years ago.

guided the travul-wenry pioneers
along their way. Today it la the
Mecca of anglers, for t its base

of the Metolius river, the home of
the finest trout in Oregon.
The Deschutes Canyon is one of
the scenic wonders of America.
The river flows down this deep, nar
row canyon, with its terraee-nealed
walls, through a channel cut in a
solid lava bed the greater part of
its way to the Colu.nhia.
The river haa many beautiful
falls along its upper course. Cline
Falls are the best known of these,
Along opposite banks of this weird
river, Hill and Harritnan have rival
railroads that were built as trade
arteries to Oregon's heart.

We feel very near to glory-land
when we watch the master painter
pass his magic brush across the
western 8ky, and in a few minutes
give us a vast view of nature's art
gallery. Such colorings Titian
never saw, or if he saw them, never
put them on his canvas. There arc
rarest opal tints, changing gold and
orange, elusive harmonies In violet
and crimson, and, in the fore
ground, reflecting back to the won
derful lights from their crowns of
snow, rise our guardian mountain
peaks, pointing the way to eternity.
Over all the great, splendid stretch
of country falls the golden glow of
sunset and we feel that here we
know what it means to "walk the
hills with God." Come Jto our
beautiful Heart of Oregon and
watch the sun go down.

of checking the overactloti of this

to concentrate all power
