They are, however, pre-eminently "fan cy fow ls," says the Poultry World, from which the cuts here given are repro duced. The peculiar formation of their heads, crests, combs, etc., makes them unique and specific in character and quite unlike all other domestic breeds of jioultry in this resjiect. They have been found fairly hardy when past chickenhood, admirable layers of full sized eggs, quite prolific and of average good weight at maturity. In Paris those birds are exceedingly popular at the ho tels and restaurants as table poultry, their flesh being Jnicy, tender and short grained. Some o f the best capons to be found in the French city markets are made of young Iloudan, Creveco-tir and La Fleche cockerels, grown in the suburbs. They average in size about that of the best Block Spanish, and in many respects they strongly resemble that breed. W e have not yet produced them in this conntry in such quantities as to know much of their value us a market fowl here, but those who have given at tention to the cultivation of the French varieties the longeet assert that they are a very desirable class of stock to keep, and that a cross of the Houdans or Creve- A FAIR OF CREYWYElTRg. coenrs upon the Cochins or Brahmas gives in the progeny a very superior prod uct for family uses—whether for con sumption, as layers or as early market chickens.

It must be confessed, adds the authority quoted, that the chickens are tender and in the coldest weather are not easily reared. _________ Harvesting Wheat. SOUTHERN PACIFIC CO. K oseltu ric M a ll l l u l h . M. E L L I S , Pre»k<l«‘ iit. OF Suppressed I There is a season after corn has been ' harvested and before the advent of win* : ter during which we must depend oil i gr&ss'as the sonre e o f food for our flocks ! and herds; otherwise we must draw upon winter stores to food them. The need of ome useful fold er plant o f this season ki*K long been recognized, and now Thom as Shaw, professor of agriculture at the Ontario college, gives the assurance that the rape plant is adapted to large areas In the United States. In a report to the lepartuientof agriculture he says: The soils of the prairies will doubtless be found suitable for this crop where the summers are not too dry and warm. And in large sections in all parts where the climatic conditions resemble those of On tario it will doubtless be found that rape will grow readily. This would mean that raj)© can be successfully grown in all the states bordering on the Dominion of Canada ami in several of tho.se that lie farther to the south. Whether it would furnish winter past uie in the more southerly states and whether it would grow seed as a paying crop in these can be determined only by actual test. The heat of the sun in such latitudes would doubtless be fatal to its successful growth in midsummer. SALEM , Do THE DWARF ESSEX RAPE. The place that should be assigned to rape in the rotation will depend on many conditions—the use for which it is grown, the nature of the soil and the nature of the rotation. Like other hoed crops, it should be grown as a cleaning crop when sown in drills; hence it is peculiarly fit ting to grow it upon fields which require to be cleaned. It will therefore more commonly come after a grain crop and ordinarily should be followed by another F rom 25 to 50 consecutive yards ou t o f every grain crop sown wil h grasses and clovers. 4,000 or 6,000 yards o f pavem ent are taken up It may generally be grown with much and replaced by new m aterial.

[F rom G ood R oa ds.] The cost of constructing a road for fre quent and heavy traffic is $1.49 per square yard. This allows 8 cents for preparing a bed 12 inches deep, 9 cents for the ashes, which cost 80 to 40 cents per cubic yard, 4 cents for labor and $1.31 for the paving stones, which are 0$ by 5^ inches. If rough stone and a layer of broken stone or pebbles are substitut ed, the tw o cost only 27 cents, and the to tal per square yard becomes 87| cents.
