FoR THE FLORIDA AaRIcULTURIsT.
Poultry-North VS.. South.

wish to give the readers OF the FLoRI-
DA AGRICULTURIsT a few of the many adj
Marriages which Florida han over the
Northern States for the poultry business.
Let us start with houses or coops, which
Is the first thing to be thought of when
contemplating embarking in the poultry
business. IS
A coop suitable to accommodate 40 to
90 fowls comfortably in the North will
cost, at theleast calculation, $50 to 500,
as it must be double boarded and all
cracks and creyices stopped tight The
south and east side should have large
windows, and all doors and windows must
fit tightly to keep out the cold in winter;
and to get the best results should have a
fire in it day and night. Some heat by
steam. You readily see that all this takes
money and cuts down the profits Here
in Florida a house for the same number
of fowls need not cost over $3 or 81. All
they need is shelter from rain and ver1nin
at night. A wood frame with 2-inch-
mesh wire netting Costing less than
cent per square foot) fastened to it Sc
curely with staples, and some tarred felt
paper or boards laid on the top of it land
perhaps on the north side to break the
windy, makes avery comfortable coop for
the birds, and will suit them as well and
better than 500 house in the North.
j know this bymy own experience Ihave
built poultry houses in the North costing
from $50 to 5000 each according to
the number of fowls to be accommodated
and can build coops that suit me better
here at $3.50 to IS each. Fowls in the
North require much larger houses, as they
have to be locked in by snow and cold at
least four months in the year, while here
they can run out every day in the year.
/ would not have over 40 or SO fowls
in one colony or yard. Ifmore fowls are
to be kept have them in separate colonies
or in large yards. There is no better
place to keep them than in an orange
grove, as the trees furnish shade and the
fowls are of great benefit to the trees.
Prices of eggs here are as high Tor near
~ so) as in New York City or Boston, and
should the time ever come that the home
market is stocked it would be but small
expense to ship them to the Northern
markets. AS long as the United States
has to import millions of dozens of eggs an
nually no one need worry about the bus
mess being overdone. G. P.

FIG. 2-pEK1N DUCKS.

The Pekins are of comparatively re-
cent introduction, but have won consider
able popularity on account of their large
size, splendid laying powers and striking
appearance. They do not mature so
rapidly as the Aylcsbury, and their flesh
is not of the same-rich and delicate flavor
as is that of the Aylesbury, Rouen or
Cayuga. On the other hand their eggs
are large and well favored and very
fertile indeed, and the ducklings easy to
rear, for which reasons they have been
largely crossed with the Aylesbury, in
order to counterfeit the evils Of in-breed-
ing in some strains Of the latter variety.
The Iekin differs from other ducks in
the shape and carriage of it's body, which
is of a peculiar boat shape The legs
arc set we'll back. and the bird walks
rather upright, or penguin fashion The
head IS large and the neck long; tile legs
and bill are of rich yellow and the
plumago generally has peculiar cream
color running through it. 1t is graceful
on the water. and for crossing with the
Aylesbury is a very valuable variety.
The progeny are easily fattcncd and have
good flesh, two important points

custom of the tribe. They have very
irregular, intermittent way of laying.
Sometimes they will lay every day con-
secutively for three or four days, then
they will lay at intervals of two or three
days, then stop about two weeks and go
to laying again.

ducks must have access to either pond
or q brook deters many from attempting
to raise them. This idea is, however,
erroneous, for while pond or running

a necessity. Give the birds all the water
they need to drink and they will thrive,
other conditions being favorable. Indeed,
in many instances, they thrive better and
grow quicker confined in yards with just
enough of water to drink. Shade is one
of the essentials to duck growing in warm
