Poultry Notes.

Successful poultrymen may differ as to
which is the best breed, but they all agree
that it is not the dung-hill fowl.
One ounce of ground bone daily for ten
hens is sufficient. No other shells are nee
essary if plenty of gravel is provided.
Hot weather and heating food never
ought to go together; wheat or small
grain is better than corn or condiments.
Don't carry over any worthless breed
ing stock, but Gull closely and kill all that
are not frst-class. The culls are good
market stock, but don't keep them for
your own use or sell them to anyone else
for breeding purposes; it won't pay

Which Breed to Select.

Editor Poultry Department:
OF the many varieties of fowls now bred
it may seem. a task to some people who
contemplate buying and breeding one or
more varieties OF choice fowls to decide
which breed to select.
All standard breeds have some good
points to commend them. The Brahma,
Cochin and Langshan, being large birds,
are best adapted for market poultry, and
are fair layers of large brown eggs. The
Barred and White Plymouth Rocks, Sill
yer, Golden and White Wyandottes and
Jaffas are general purpose fowls, being OF
good size for market, mature early and
are excellent layers, good settlers and
mothers The Dorkins and Houdans are
medium-sized birds, mature early, good
layers of large white eggs and are non
settlers. The many varieties of Games are
nearly all good layers, the very best of
settlers and mothers and as a table fowl
cannot be equaled. The Leghorns and
Hamburgs are the best breeds for eggs
alone; they are non-setters and are not
easily kept in enclosures, unless wings are
clipped. The Polish are the most orna-
mental, as we'll as being great layers and
non-setters. The White Crested Black
variety are, in my eyes, themost beautiful

proud little pets and nice layers, and for
the food they consume they give better
returns than larger breeds. Where one

WHO LIVES AT LAKE HELEN.

The residents are representatives of wealth and
intelligence. They are nearly all Northern people,
mainly from New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio.
They include in their numbers scientists as well
AS many literary lights Many of them are of
worldwide reputation.
Among them is Mr.. Berlin H Wright, the as
tronomer and the great maker of astronomical
calculations for almanacs. His father, who is
with him, is a distinguished botanist and has the
largest private herbarium in the United States,
Westlake, of Millersville, Pa; E. F. Gould,
banker. of Saginaw, Mich, Col. Schoonmaker, of
Scranton Pa, and many others well known all
over the country have winter cottages on this

those at Long Branch or Bar Harbor.

THE SPORTSMAN NOT FORGOTTEN.

We trust that we have convinced our readers
that DeLand and Lake Helen offers all the need
full ysical, intellectual and moral inducements
that can be erequired of any place, and that they
have fully resolved to make it their future home.
The average man remembers when he was small
boy it was his greatest desire to ego fishing"
though he whispered to his friends that he seldom
caught any ything-not even bite! AS he grew older
he used to steal off into the woods and pretend he
was hunting, but his success in that line was not
much more brilliant than in fishing. For many
years he has had time to indulge in
either sport, but he has looked longingly

nected with New York and all points North by

they are but four hours ride; with Titusville with

"yes, we have heard of your urinvitation to DeLand
and Lake Helen. Just as we are earnestly hearing
invitations of a similar nature from all parts OF
Florida. Please tell us about your hotels.'
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 very reasonable, besides a
score more OF well kept boarding houses The
hotel at Lake Helen, which Mr. DeI4and has called
the Harlan House, from his only son, is as
whole elegant and complete, with absolutely
everything in a style that must suit the most
fastdOus.
After thus literally providingfor their material
wants, Mr.. DeIand arranged the amusements for
it's guests, rather he utilized the diversions
which nature had freely provided. Upholstered
boats, at call were put upon Lake Helen for the
free use OF all. Tennis, croquet. and archery
grounds were arranged and equipped. Extra

NEW WHOLESALE FIRM.

Yesterday change took place in the
firm of Kendall 81 Morrison, furniture
dealers, Mr. Kendall being succeeded by
Mr. George Dunn, late president of the
Peoples bank at Larned, but more re-
Gently resident ut Arkansas City. Mr..
Dunn will remove his family to Wichita
and concentrate all his business interests
here. Mr.. Dunn is gentleman of success
full business experience, and having lib
eral cash capital will at once become a
valuable accession to the business of the
city. The new firm of Dunn & Morrison
engages more extensively in the wholesale
branch of the business, giving their at
tention principally thereto. The old house
of Kendall s. Morrison has been noted for
the superior quality of the goods they
handled, and in this particular the new
concern will maintain its reputation. Mr..
Morrison, the junior member of the new
firm, as of the old, had full control and
management of the business since the
house was established and is familiar with
trade; he at the same time enjoys the con
fidence Of the business community.
