What to Do with Fat Hens.

When a hen becomes very fat, she not
only is a poor layer, but will become
broody, droopy at times, have leg weak
ness and be unfit for anything but the
pot. Such hens should be fed only once a
day, at night, the meal to consist OF a
pound of lean meat to twenty hens, with
a handful of grain scattered for them to
hunt up. They will then be hungry dur
ing the day, and will search and work for
food, while the inducement OF a few grains
thrown out at night will cause them to
keep at work until late. Meat contains
little fat producing elements, if lean, and
will greatly promote laying as soon as
the surplus fat is removed, which can only
be done by compelling the hens to exer-
else. If the hens are kepton this exercise
diet for a week or ten days they will be in
better health afterwards, and if they be-
gin to lay, and lay well, the one meal per
day may be continued during the sum-
m0r.

Tomatoes are wholesome food for

them.
Buckwheat is an active and stimulating
food, and is largely used in France and in
other countries.

The excrements of bird sick with the
cholera are the principal means Of spread
ing the contagion and the first step in
stamping out the disease is consequently
to destroy all which are voiding yellow
matter.
The following is q simple remedy for
gapes: Feed the flock sparingly, keep a
shallow dish of cracked corn by them and
over the comb pour little turpentine.
The birds, after having tasted short
time, will devour this with particular rel
ish. and the turpentine will make it hot
for the cape worms.
Many breeders and boomers of new
breeds try to add to the many other good
points in their favor the superiority of
their flesh as table fowl. Now, there is
no breed of fowls in existence but what, if
we'll fed, will make good eating (if not too
old), although | do not wish to be under
stood as saying that there is no difference
in breeds in regard to this, but it is, as
rule, more in the feed than in the breed.

To Tell the Age of Eggs.

The following is very correct way of
telling the age of an egg. In this way you
can detect a freshly laid egg from one
three or four days old, and also as they
grow older. 1t is as follows:
Dissolve two ounces of salt in a pint of
water When a fresh laid egg is placed in
this solution it will sink to the bottom of
the vessel, while one that has been laid on
the day previous will not quite reach the
bottom. If the egg is three days old it
will swim in the liquid, and if more than
three days will float on the surface and
project above the water more and more
in proportion as it is older. 2.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1890-07-09

formerly used in the production OF eggs,
is now used in forming new feathers, and
generally catches them before they get in
good laying trim; as consequence they
lay but few eggs during the winter
months. The same is true with late
Matched pullets, except that they do not
moult the first year.
There is so great difference between
the price of eggs in winter and in spring
that it pays to make an effort to secure a
good supply of eggs during the winter
months. When they are confined the cost
TO feed is just the same in winter tnat tits
in the spring, and all their little wants
should be attended to, for there is no an
imal on the farm that fees neglect SO
quickly as a laying hen.

Clean, Cool Water.

Clean, cool water is as necessary as
clean food. If you use tin, change the
water daily and with a rag wipe out the
vessel dry. You will notice Shiny sub
stance adhering to the tin. This is oxide
of lead and is a slow poison, and drinking
vessels should be kept free from it. Warm
water is very apt to give young chicks
bowel trouble, and they should havefresh
water frequently.
The old saying is to keep ducklings out
OF water until fedged. This applies to
cold weather only; then they are liable to
chill, but there is no danger in Florida
after May LIST. [ provide an artificial
pond and let them have free range after a
week old.
Another old saying, feed your chickens
every two hours, willnot apply to June in
Florida. Too much food is the death Of
more chicks than any one cause. Young
turkeys (poults) relish soft food once a
day, and green food never finds their APP
petites satisfied.
Ducklings will eat anything offered
them, but too much hard grain is not
good for them, but they are the easiest
brought to maturity of any fowl | raise
While they will stand neglect, they will
pay well for the best OF care.

Early Matching.

We find the following excellent advice
in the Poultry and Stock Review:
Success in the poultry yard depends al
most entirely upon early Matching, and
the breeder who overlooks early Matching
overlooks the principal features of poul-
try raising.
Chicks need proper care and attention
after they are Matched; this is all import
ant part OF the work and must not be
slighte The Incubator is a valuable aid
when early chickens are to be raised, for
they can be set at any time, while it is
quite difficult to find hens that will set
early enough.
The fact that eggs usually command
from forty to fifty cents per dozen during
the latter part of the winter shows that,
as general thing, hens do not lay much
at this season of the year, and it is right
here that the practical poultry keeper
makes a point by having his hens set
early and hatch out early broods. These
early chicks will, with good care and ju-
dicious feeding, begin laying as soon as
October and in this way get we'll started
to laying before winter comes, and if
properly housed and fed will continue to
lay tn oughout the winter
The old hens have their moulting sea-
son during the months of October and
November, and at this time all of the SUI

Black Fowls for Market.

An exchange says that the prejudice
against black fowls has done more harm
the good. The Langshans, Houdans,
Creveceurs and Javas are only excelled by
the Games and Dorkings for the table, yet
they are black in plumage, or nearly SO,
while the yellow-leg breeds that are not
equal to them in quality sell more readi-
ly. Ii a prejudice against the color of tt e
plumage, skin and legs deters buyers from
selecting the really meritorious breeds,
they are depriving themselves OF luxuries
to which they should be educated.

Entered Into Rest.

Hon. G. G. Smith, Recorder for the
city of GAINESVILLE, Tenn, in the
years 1859 and go, died at his resi-
dence on Madison street, on the 18th
day of April, 1890.
Alta called meeting of the Board OF
Mayor and Aldermen of the city of
GAINESVILLE, it was resolved that suit
able resolutions expressive of the
great loss we have sustained be pre-
pared and entered upon the minutes
of the city record.
Whereas, it has pleased God in his
all wise providence to remove from
our midst one of our most noble, dis
Greet and progressive citizens, whose
generous nature always responded to
every appeal from the needy, and
encouraged every enterprise looking
to the Improvement and elevation of
his fellowman.
Therefore, be it resolved, That, in
his death, his family has sustained an
irreparable loss, yet we feel thankful
that they sorrow not without the
blessed hope of meeting him in a
brighter and better world. While
he can never return to them, it is a
happy thought that they may go to
him.
Resolved further, That we, as a
Board, extend to the family our
warmest sympathy for the great loss
they have sustained, and do order
that a copy of these resolutions be
sent to his family, spread upon our
minutes and published in our city
papers.
