Origin of the Silver and Golden
Wyandottes.

Mr.. III. III. of Dundee, wants to know
the origin of the Silver and Golden
Wyandottes, and desires an answer
through the AGRICULTURIsT. The Silver
Laced comes from a cross OF the Silver
Spangled Hamburg and Dark Brahmas
and we're admitted to the standard in
1888, being purely an American breed.
The American Poultry Association named
it after an Indian tribe that inhabited
the section where they originated. There
has never been fowl introduced that
has been such general favorite as the
Wyandottes.
The Golden Wyandotte originated at
Ormo, Wis, by Jas. McKeen; was admit
ted to the standard in 1888. The foun-
dation for this cross was the Silver
Laced Wyandotte and Winniebago
male. Winniebago was name given to
local breed in the vicinity of Ormo, and
are described by Jas. McKeen as large
black, red, non-standard variety, and to-
day stands at the head OF all the Wyan-
dotte varieties, which are fourth number.
While the Indian Games are all the rage
in America, the Golden Wyandottes are
creating as much furror in England, and
fine specimens in the East bring $25 per
importation. The Golden Wyandottes,
Indian Games and Pekin ducks are in de-
mand at present, and it will be several
years before the supply will equal the de-
mand at fair prices. b. W. A.

2. The uses to which this invaluable
forage plant may be put are multitudin-
GUS. 1t will furnish as good and as much
forage for mich cows, oxen, calves, etc.,
as any other plant except Teosinte. The
seed heads are (as has been abundantly
demonstrated by the Mississippi Expert
mental Station) as feed for horses and
mules fully equal to corn, is likewise
an excellent feed for hogs, sheep and
goats. From actual experience | can
state that the seed we'll cleaned, ground
and made into batter cakes are equal to
buckwheat.
8. It's virtues consist in the fact that
no amount ofheat or drouth will prevent
it's making far more feed per acre for man,
beast or bird than any thingelse that can
be put in the ground in hot, dry coun-
try. portland is but little drawback it.
After land is supposed to be completely
exhausted it will make a paying crop OF
chicken corn. 1t is especially adapted to
those whose land is too poor to make
corn.
4. Plant same as corn and at the same
time, giving about the same distance and
cultivation as sorghum. plantin March
in rows three and one-half feet apart,
eight to twelve inches apart in drills, one
stalk in place. Barr off when it has at
tanned a height of six to twelve inches;
hoe out clean and to stand. Run
around with shovel or twisting shovel
pillow every ten days until the middles are
worked out, when it is laid by. | would
state that if the seed heads are gathered
as fast as they 1'ipen, the stalk will send
out a new crop of suckers near the top,
each of which will perfect another small
head of seed. l.. II. TURNER.

A New Method Of Treating Disease.
HOSPITAL REMEDIES.

What are they? There is new de-
parture in the treatment OF disease. 1t
consists in the collection of the specifics
used by noted specialists of Europe and
America, and bringing them within the
reach of all. For instance the treatment
pursued by special physicians who treat
Indigestion, stomach and liver troubles
only, was obtained and prepared. The
treatment of other physicians, celebrated
for curing catarrh was procured, and SO
on till these incompatible cures now in
clude disease of the lungs, Kidneys, female
weakness, rheumatism and nervous Gebil-
ity.
This new method of zone remedy for
one disease must appeal to the common
sense of all sufferers, many of whom have
experienced the i'll effects, and thorough
ly realize the absurnity of the claims OF
Patent Medicines which are guaranteed
to cure every i'll out of single bottle,
and the use of which, as staff tics prove,
has ruined more stomachs than alcohol.
A circular describing these new remedies
is sent free on receipt of stamps to pay
postage by Hospital Remedy Company
Toronto, Canada, sole proprietors. Re-
liable agents wanted.

Chicken Corn.

Editor Poultry Department:
There is no State in the Union that
possesses fewer drawbacks to successful
poultry raising .(either on a large or
small scaIe) than does Florida. by the
term successful mean economical. There
is likewise no poultry raiser in the great
State of Florida that is making finan
cial success of poultry raising but could
make that success with less effort, less ex
Denditure of time and money and with
infinitelymore satisfaction to themselves
if they would make regular business OF
planting a patch of chicken corn (SOrgh-
UNI vulgare) in close proximity to poul-
try yard, so that the chickens can help
themselves, which they will do from the
time it comes in-in July-until the sup
ply is exhausted; keeping the egg basket
filled meanwhile in manner that shows
not only the value and adaptiveness OF
this gramina to their necessities but also
their appreciation OF your efforts in their
behalf.

About Ducks.

Editor Poultry Department.:
AS [ am much interested in raising
ducks and have good success with them, [
would like to write a few,words about them
| know many persons that like to raise
ducks, but after they have raised the ducks
and kept them for a while, they get tired
and want to get rid of them. They say
ducks eat so much and often have to
wait q year before they get an egg from
them. And | think | would be tired, too,
if that was the result, but | have not
found it so. The first three ducks / be-
gan with laid, in seven months and q half,
about 575 eggs. They began to lay when
five months and seven days old, and [
have not yet heard of any body in
Florida getting SO many eggs from
three ducks When the ducks we're six
months old set twelve eggs under hen
and Matched eight ducklings. When seven
months old set another twelve eggs and
had eleven ducklings Matched. The drake
was two years old; and raised nearly
all the ducklings.
Tgenerally set my duck eggs the first
of April, and the ducks raised from those
eggs I expect to begin to lay after the
first week in October, and do not think
| will be mistaken this year either. One
duck has begun to lay for over a week
since, but | think it is an old duck; but
the young ducks are SO busy with the
nest boxes, and the certain sound they
have and eating plenty of shells, it is
the sign they will soon begin laying.
| give them all they want to
eat. The same mode of feed as Mr.. ANS
den. | give no raw grain to the ducks. L
have it boiled. 1t is true that ducks eat,
q good deal, but they repay it with their.
eggs, if we'll cared for. The evening meal
give little more than they eat up clean
and have been out in the middle Of
night moonlight night) and seen them;
both eating and drinking. There isnever
anything left in the trough in the morning.
Anybody that keep ducks must not
grudge the food they give to them. Give
literally such food and the ducks will
grow in flesh not in fat, for the purpose
of eggs.

NOt ISOLATED CASES.

To show that the cures made by Joys vege- table Sarsaparilla arc not only; not exceptional cases, but that it helps everybody, we cite 6 few instances where two in the same family took 1t and were both cured.
 Thomas Stephens, of 16S Sixth St., S. F., took 1t for weak stomach and dyspepsia, It entirely cured him. He then gave it to his wtfn for her sick headaches, since which time she has had no return. It cured them both
 Mrs. R. L. Wheaton, of 70i Post St., S. F., was a sufferer from stomach and liver troubles and biliousness. Finding that it relieved her, she gave it to q little girl living with her whose af- fiction was g large open sore which nothing seemed to heal. Italso cured the child.
 H. s. Vim, of Geary Court, Geary St., s. F., prominent in the Order of Red Men, was very feeble and greatly reduced. Joys Vegetable sarsaparilla restored his health and accustomed yigor. He thereupon gave it to his wife who was similarly afflicted and had nervous prostra- tion. It had the same happy effect lipon her It had upon him. Scores of similar cases could be cited but We have no room for them here.

Since then several Western mails have come to hand, but with no regularity. The accumulation of mail matter at San Francisco and intermediate points, during the washouts, was so great that the small force of railway mall clerks on the Southern Pacific was unequal to the task of handling 1t promptly.
