The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1891-04-20

In this case, each successive generation Of
the produce will exhibit more and more the
characteristics of the pure breed, and in
time the stock will become essentially thor
oughbred, ard the eye of an expert judge
OF poultry will scarcely detect the line Of
descent. Another plan is to use a male
bird. first OF one variety and then Of an
other, and so on, the breeder selecting the
cock from the breed that he considers most
calculated TO benefit his own stock. If it is
desired TO make egg production of first con-
slderation, 1t would perhaps be well TO
choose Leghorn male OF, if preferred, a
Hamburg or Spanish, aud breed to the
same repeatedly. II both eggs and meat
are highly valued and that, too, in about
equal ratio, it will be quite satisfactory to
breed first from a sO-called egg breed, and
then meat breed.
Thus, we may reasonably expect many Of
the good qualities of each TO be perpetuated
in the offspring. In conclusion, / would
earnestly urge this matter to the attention
of those who have never kept anything but
"mongrel' fowls. Blood will always surely

Breeding Up Common Poultry.

Very probably, the progressive farmer
has often thought of the subject of improv-
ing the quality of his fiocks Of fowls, as we'll
as his herds of horses and cattle, says the
Ohio Farmer. If he has never before con-
sdered 1t, it is certainly high time that he
soould, for has it not been proved, time and
again, that poultry pays better than any
other farm stock, when the capital invested
is taken into consideration! And surely, If
this be true, anything we can do to render
the fowls more prolific or more substantial
in carcass, will rebound to our profit, az
truly as in the case Of any other species of
live stock.
Poultry writer's almost invariably advise
the use of thoroughbred breeding stock ex-
exclusively; but, while this is a very good
way, indeed, to reap the benefits OF pure
blooded stock, and perhaps the best, yet it
is not the only way. By resorting to
practice known as grading" by the use Of
blooded males, a common, mongrel flock of
fowls can. in few years, be made to ex-
hibit in marked degree the good qualities
of thoroughbreds. Good blooded stock at
present commands more money than many
farmers are willing to pay, especially if they
are somewhat skeptical in regard to the
intrinsic worth of the same. This is partic-
ularIy true OF STOCK GnaG ID up IN fancy
points. but most every fancier has number
of male birds that are not up" but rather
"off, " and these are the ones that are for sale
at prices little above the usual market value,
and are just suited to the needs of the
farmer OF course no really mean Gull
should be bred from, Just because he bears
the name of distinct breed. He must be
fully developed, physically, and show
stamina and strength of constitution. he
should have bright red comb, clear bright
eye, be sprightly and active in his bearing,
and exhibit in fair manner the practical
qualities of the breed he represents. To
mate with pure-blooded cock of the above
description, let the farmer select dozen
2~year-old hens, possessing as near as may
be, uniformity of size and general makeup.
This uniformity is very desirable, that the
treatment suited to the nature Of one indi-
vidual of tho flock may be equally adapted
to another. The trouble is, where fowls,
large and small, heavy and light, comprise a
single flock the food calculated to keep one
bird healthy and prolific would render an
other very fat and Improbable.
In breeding up flock Of fowls it is very
essential TO use only pure males. On no ac-
count must the result OF the cross be used.
One plan Is TO select one single breed Of
pure-bred fowls, that seems to the breeder
TO be most suited % his own particular
needs, using pure males Of this variety
alone.

Making the Most of Fertilizers.

1t is not every kind of crop, says the
Boston CuitiUdtor, that will pay for the
artificial manures known as commercial
fertilizers. Much also depends on the man
agement of land otherwise. They are gen
orally used up in the first year, or what re-
mains is so locked up that it is practically
nearly worthless. But by applying such
fertilizers to grain crops, seeded with clover
in the spring, part OF the fertility goes
into the clover plant, and is thus continued
into activity a second and even a third year
For, as has been taught by carefully con-
Quoted experiments, clover roots have the
power. when supplied with elements to start
growth, of using atmospheric nitrogen to
continue it. There Is good reason to baiieye
that this disintegration of air in the soil
hberates its carbonic acid gas, and thus helps
to render phosphates and other mineral
plant food soluble, so that they can be taken
up by the roots Of crops.
Whether this theory be correct or other
wise, there can be no doubt of the practical
fact that seeding with clover every time
manure is applied TO the land is the best
means of maintaining fertility. This is
especially true Of the mineral manures,
which used alone tend TO constantly reduces
the vegetable matter in the soil. and thus
lock up its mineral fertility quicker than
would otherwise be possible. The roots of
clover when the plant attains full growth
add several tons of vegetable matter per
acre. and they decay rapidly when the
ground Is plowed so that the top no longer
can grow.
Most Of this root is drawn from the sub
soil and from the atmosphere, and as it de-
GAYS it furnishes the soil with the carbonic
acid gas that is needed to make and keep
phosphate soluble Thus the clover and the
mineral manure mutually supplement each
other. Each gives what the other most
most lacks, and by these two combined, fer
tility may be indefinitely maintained.
II phosphate or other mineral fertilizer
be applied to land destitute alike of clover
or vegetable matter In any form it will do
little good. The failure of these fertilizers
on sandy or gravelly soil is usually thought
to be due to lack of carbon in the soil to de-
compose, and thus keep the mineral in con-
dltlon for use, In such case using the min
eral IN connection with stable manure is
much better than either one alone Clover
should be sown at once ON such land, and a
mixture of phosphate, potash ana stable
manure, even though lighter dressing per
acre Will often secure clover catch on land
where clover has not been able to grow for
years. In every case we find that abundant
seeding with clover at every opportunity is
anecessary plan in providing judicious use
OF fertilizers OF any kind. The clover in
sures that part of the fertility applied shall
be retained on the land, instead of being
sold OH ny exhaustive cropping.

Points on Ducks.

Ducks do not need as much water as many
suppose, says Annie G. Webster in the
american CuLtiUdtor, and they may be
raised on farms where there is no pond or
running water. A good substitute is to
build system Of wooden troughs, which
should be kept full of water at all times
Let the ducks have free access to these
trouGhs. and they will never suffer from the
lack of water. Such troughs can be made
deep aud wide enough for the birds to swim
about, and they will then answer the pur-
pose as we'll as any extensively made pond
or creek. IL they are to be- raised on very
large scale, however, it may be more proflt>
able to have pond dug, for nature will
keep this supplied with water at all times.
The best of keepers would fail to keep the
troughs full if several large focks had ac-
cess to them.
A few ducks may be raised very well with
the hens, and no disturbance will be made
by either birds. The ducks are great homo
lovers, and IL accustomed to go into their
pen at night they will always remember the
lesson. IL confined the ducks will consume
more food than the hens, but II allowed to
forage they may be raised even cheaper.
In confinement they are not so annoying as
hens, for they will not scratch nor fy over
fences, and they are very seldom attacked
by disease. Their food must be attended to
regularly, and besides animal and green
food they should have worms fed to them
daily. Wood charcoal must also be given
to them with their food to preserve their
health.
The best way is to let the ducks forage for
themselves in the day time. and teach them
to come to their own pen at night. Treat
them kindly and they will soon DO this. The
ducklings need great care and attention,
and as they grow faster than chicks they
are ready for market in eight or ton weeks
A quiet. motherly hen should be kept to
watch and tend them. They should be fed
often with more meat than is given to
chicks, and they need to be kept warm and
dry. A variety of food is relished by
them, and they will devour parings Of vege-
tables or fruit and scraps from the table
with remarkable avidity. Feathers can be
plucked from them several times year il
they are needed.

SOME EXPERIMENTAL TESTS.
Cotton, Corn, Tomatoes, Sweet and
Irish Potatoes

Cotton, Corn, Tomatoes, Sweet and
Irish Potatoes.
At the Mississippi Agricultural Expert
ment Station the past year extended expert
ments with cotton were made. Thirty
seven varieties" Gf that term may be used)
were planted on the first day of May, in
rows four feet apart. The following brief
summary presents the most interesting feat
ures of the experiments, which may be sus-
tanned or reversed by further tests:
The variety that gave largest yield of
seed cotton was the 'King"-1, 270 pounds
per acre. (The land was of medium fer
tllity, having been in cultivation many
years, but some manure had been used on
1t annually for ten years past.)
The variety that gave the largest pro-
portion of lint was the CHERRY Long
Staple" The total yield of seed cotton per
acre was only 900 pounds, but of this 420
pounds was lint, equal to 4613 per cent.
This Is about Is per cent. greater the average
OF upland cotton. OF the thirty seven only
one other variety gave as muc1 as 40 per
cent of lint and that was the Petit Gulf"
which yielded 49, per cent. Both Of these
yarities were grown from seed that were
three or four years old, and the director of
the experiment suggests the possibility that
this may have had some influence in pro-
ducing such large percentage Of lint
Besides these two the four other varieties
that produced the next best results were the
Southern Hope Q,060 pound per acre.,
Extra Early Carolina $3.50 pounds per
acre., "Truitt's Premium" Q,04S pounds,
and Tennessee Gold Dust" q, 020 ponnds).
The Dixon Improved though producing
1890 pounds Of seed cotton per acre, gave
only 552 pounds of lint, little over 26 per
cent. The ''Peterkinn approximates 40 per
cent. Of lint, but did not prove as productive
as some other varieties. The "Okra" leaf
did not make very good showing.
The yield of all varieties was greatly
diminished by rot. There were hftean days
OF rainy weather during the month Of Sep
TENDER, which caused large per cent. Of
