There Is certainly one branch Of profit to
the farmer which has not yet been worked TO
its full extent That is poultry raising.
Neither for homo nor for market are his re-
sources what they might be Eggs are ona
of the best articles OF food known to man;
yet in the cold weather II the good farmwife
gets eggs enough TO make her Christmas cake
she considers herself fortunate. During the
late winter and spring country people ought
10 nave fresh eggs at least every other day
for breakfast, yet some families do not sec
them twice n month. A little care-that u
tosay, considerable care and industry-would
give the farmer a delicious roast OF poultry
for his Sunday dinner all his life, yet With
this at their command many agriculturfsts
sit down TO salt pork and dyspepsia three
times a day the year around They ought to
be ashamed Of themselves

spects viii be a SLOUGH In the chicken bush

He gave a little laugh. mo, l don't; fact
Is, l never have any to sell; the owls and

The great competition for first premiums
ON tropical fruits at the Exposition will he
between Florida and California. Florida IS
well In line. Three carloads OF fruits have
recently arrived. IL will be a surprise 10
many northern visitors to the Exposition to
know that there are over 60 kinds OF oranges.
There are, fiat little Mandarins aud deep vel
low Tangerines that look like the Early
Smooth Red tomato. From these the display
runs up To that are as large as y
small haby's head. The real Florida orange.
in its prime, Is about the best of its kind that
grows. Florida exhibits many varieties; she
also shows a beautiful array OF citrons and
LINES and enormous lemons. The grape fruit,
or shaddock, in this xhibi Is quite new to
many people in the north. Il is a beautiful
sight, hanging ingreat clusters from the large
glossy tree. The fruit itself looks like a huge,
pale orange. So large does the grape fruit
grow that it measures sometimes Is inches
around. The pulp inside grows also like tho
orange. The taste is like that of a sour
orange with a slight grapey flavor. As tart
breakfast appetizer a quarter or half OF one
Is unexcelled-
The southern states are waking to the I'M
portnnce of fruit culture as they never did
before. There is a vast and rich field here
for the future. Florida shows still other
fruits unfamiliar to the north, such as the
sweet and sour sop and the alligator pear.
Next after Florida comes Mississippi in the
display of fruits from southern states. She
also displays handsome oranges. 1t will be
new to many that this fruit grows in Mis-
sissippi. From the same state there were
ripe Strawberries in December and again in
january. This state also exhibits fine pecans
and pomegranates, and the new and popular
japanese persimmon. 1t promises to be a
valuable acquisition to our fruits. The other
southern states have not come up to the
mark in respect to fruit. We have in the ex-
position from Mexico the varieties already
mentioned, and cocoanuts, p~ineapples,
bananas and nuts besides. Jamaica has
eighty kinds of sugar cane, also nutmegs,
coffee berries, vanilla beans and a fine dis
play Of other tropical fruits and nuts. Hon
duras sends bananas, pineapples and oranges.
Altogether the magnificent collection Of
southern fruits here brought together forms
one Of the handsomest and most instructive
departments of the great Exposition.
