HINTS FOR FARMERS Breed and Variety. The distinction between breed and variety is not always remembered, says the Farmers Advocate. Some of the editors of poultry papers use the two words interchangeably; but, according to the standard of perfection, the two words are entirely distinct. . The word breed applies to any class of poultry, such as Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes, Cochins, Brahmas. Leg-, boms, Orpingtons, etc., while the word* variety denotes the different divisions of these breeds. Thus the Plymouth Rock “breed” Is divided into the three “varletlek”—Rarred, White. Buff. The Barred Rock Is not a breed, but la a variety of the Plymouth Rock breed. It is not correct to speak of the Buff Cochin breed, but the Buff Cochin variety. the other Cochin varieties being the White, Partridge and Black. These four varieties make up the one Cochin breed. . , ■ Dairy Qeasip. Get rid of the hard milking cow. It
