Success Rewards Attention.

Losses in the poultry business occur
with the majority Of people. This is the
result OF two things, inattention and lack
of cleanliness. Fowls cannot he expected
to yield a profit if left to themselves in
filth, vermin and cold quarters, any more
than herd of COWS covered with lice and
poorly fed and housed can be a source of
income to the dairyman.
Visitany well-kept dairy farm in, eastern
Dutchess for two days and then Judge if
milk flows spontaneously. When the
wagon starts for the condensing factory
or creamery laden with the white liquid
Rise at 4:3O in the morning and follow
the farmer until night and you become
convinced that it is personal attention to
every detail that produces the ''wealth in
milk" The dairyman's COWS are almost
his only thought. His men are trained in
kindness towards them. He studies and
tests the milk producing qualities OF diff
ferent kinds of feed. The flow of milk is
the pivot upon which hangs his success.
His whole soul is in his business Hesuc-
ceeds because he gives it his undivided at
tention.
Many poultry men are successful; more
are rot. Tell me of those who have failed
and in nine cases out of ten can name
the cause of failure. Those people think
chickens must in a agreatmeasure take care
of themselves, that hens lay eggs without
proper feeding and warmth when the mer-
curry is dancing between zero and 10 be-
low, and that filth and vermin are condu-
Give to the thrift of laying hens.
The successful breeder holds different
opinion. He is the one who lives with his
birds as the dairyman does his COWS, and
with what results? The magic word sue
cess is stamped over his whole establish
ment with the stencils, "Unremitting care
and labor" Without these attributes
there is no success. but swift and certain
failure.-E. B. Thompson, in Farm and
Home.

kept with the chickens. 1t is agame they

away with a goose is a fox. He'll play
dead, and the bird, which has more curl

will come up to see what's the matter.

The uncommon beauty Of the place caught the

began to spring up on the shores of Lake Helen.
Queen Ann cottages, designed by Mace, the Ohio
architect, and rOomy veranded dwellings vie with
each other in beauty. These are painted in deli

features in keeping with their style. In fact
everything about Lake Helen is ornamental.

Economy in Feeding.


ma'.,e any money, now that grain has ad-
IAnced. Grain is a tooconcentrated food
to be fed all the time, however cheap it
may be- We must use more bulky food.
No one would think of feeding a horse on
grain altogether. Bulky food of some
kind is required. Neither would you keep
him in the stable week in and week out,
ior exercise is necessary for his health.
Let us follow the same rule with the hen
Instead of feeding grain three times aday
substitute finely chopped clover hay, or
good crab grass hay cured in the shade is
the next best thing. Steep it and sprin-
kle it with ground grain one morning and
bran the next; feed warm. Add little
salt to the water that is used to steam it.
This is not only good, cheap food, but is
relished by the fowls and is a kind we'll
adapted for egg producing. 1t is highly
nitrogenous and contains all the ele-
ments of food required. The white of an
egg (albumen) calls for a large supply of
nitrogen.
Every other morning add an ounce of
meal, and feed whole grain at night, scat
tered over the yard. Keep ground bone
where they can always have access to it,
and plenty of fresh water, and you will al
ways have eo'ra Too much grain pro-
5nc e of fat, which clogs

jures her as layer. This point is of par
ticular Importance to fanciers, for eggs
from fat hens seldom hatch, and when
they do they produce puny chicks that
scarcely ever live to be full-grown. AS a
substitute and a change for chopped,
steamed hay as morningmeal, give cab
bage boiled fine, or boiled turnips.
Keep barrel of Armour's blood and
bone open, and add a pint to each morning
feed per 100 hens; l mean that which is
sold for fertilizer. There is nothing bet
ter. Also keepa sack OF cotton seed meal
to feed occasionally, but sparingly, as it
is very fattening. Fed with green fodder
reasonable quantity will do no harm.
From late experience we would say pint
to 100 hens three times week will be suf-
fcient. Give all at the morning feed the
hens will eat clean. Use the ground grain
sparingly. Let the feed be principally
green and bulky. This is feeding for eggs,
and you will have them every time if your
fowls are free of vermin and healthy. Ii
you have not been feeding green food,
feed sparingly at first, for it may give
bowel disease.
have just completed a cutting box to
cut grass and cabbage, and believe it will
save more money than any other imple-
ment on the place. Another thing too
frequently neglected-when fowls are con-
fined keep asupply OF ground shell (broken
crockcry is better) where they can have
access to it at all times Sift your ashes
and save the charcoalfor the fowls. They
will relish it and will do as much to keep
ing them healthy as anything you can
give them.

IMPRESSIONS OF DELAND.

was without exception the prettiest in Florida

Go to DeLand and Lake Helen, Flor
ida, the Most Delightful Places
in the South.
WHY GO TO DELAND AND LAKE HELEN?.

We reply, because they are not only two of the
most delightful places in Florida, but are uni
versally conceded to be among the healthiest
placesin the Union.
DeLand, IN VOlusa county, is located on the j.,
L. & K. w. Ry., about 100 miles south OF Jackson
vile, III one Of the best orange growing sections
OF the State. 1t occupies the middle of a large
plateau that is twenty miles long and five wide,
originally covered with yellow pine forest and
dotted with small, clear lakes. The soil is well
suited TO fruit and vegetable raising, and the or
ange plantations are peculiarly thrifty; indeed,
the town presents the appearance Of a great villa
situated in the midst of luxurious orange grove.
Lake Helen is five miles from DeLand.

AS AN EDUCA TTONAL CENTRE.

DeLand offers rare inducements to parents who
desire the education of their children to be carried
forward while they temporarily away from
their Northern homes or who are looking for
some good institution in which to place them per-
manently until their education is completed. De-
Land has an Academy, which is in reality Col
lege for both sexes inferior to nonein thecountry

Gators at it's head.

'sYes," replies the invalid or some other person
"yes, we have heard OF yourinvitation to DeLand

DeLand has four and Lake Helen has two good
home-like hotels, with tables good enough for the
most fastidious taste, and at prices that will
strike every one as very reasonable. besides a
score or more OF well kept boarding houses. The
hotel at Lake Helen, which Mr.. DeLand has called
the Harlan House, from his only son. is, as q

which nature had freely provided. Upholstered
