and don't let any one persuade you
to market old hens every fall, keep
ing only the pullets both for eggs in
the winter and for raising chicks
next spring. This is popular bit
of advice going the rounds of the
papers Just now, and / have no idea
it is true of any breed of fowls on the
face of the earth. A Plymouth
Rock hen, / know, is not at her best
till two years of age, and the small
er breeds, as Leghorns, Minorcas,
Black Spanish and many others, do
good work until five or six years
old. Don't be so tender-hearted as
to keep late-natched pullets, which
always will be small; or to degener-
ate your flock by using mongrel
cockerels; or to cucumber it with
superanuated fowls of any descrip-
ton. Keep memorandum book
and set down your successes and
failures, efficient remedies for COM
mon diseases, and of everything
which strikes you as being interest
ing or unusual in regard to your
work. All records of practical ex-
perience will be invaluable to you
and great help to your friends.
1t is said that a man must be
something of a plodder to succeed
in this business; there are so many
details to be. looked after, which,
though small IN themselves, make
the great sum- --success.-Ex.

Keeping Fowls i'm the South.

TO pay In the NOrLn, Wnere close
houses, artifcially heated, are re-
quired to enable the hens to produce
eggs in winter, we, who live in the
Southern States, where fowls can
run at large all winter, ought surely
to make if profitable. And in the
Gulf States it is only a few months
in the year that they require shelter
even at night, and then the most
primitive sort of house will suffice.
During the remaining eight or ten
months they keep healthier roosting
out-of- of-doors, and I am told that if
some kind of resinous evergreen, as
the cedar Or pine, be provided, the
fowls will not be troubled with par
asites. That is one thing that the
fowls in warm climates have TO con-
tend against-vermin of every de-
scription. But when the proper
precautions are observed, this need
not be serious obstacle. I have
rid my hen-house entirely of mites
by having it whitewashed three or
four time during the season with
thick whitewash strongly tinctured
with crude carbolic acid, and con-
tanning a generous quantity of pow
dered sulphur. Thoroughly fumi
eating the house now and then with
tobacco and sulphur, and giving ii a
good cleaning once week, will pre-
vent return of these pests. But
when the hens roost out -of-doors in
summer, and their nests are placed
under open sheds, the trouble from
vermin is reduced to a minimum,
and putting handful of sulphur in
their dust baths will enable the
fowls to free their bodies from para
sites.
Abundant shade they must have,
too, from the hot, southern sunshine,
and this is best afforded by having
the poultry yard located in an or
chard, where the fowls can also get
the advantage of windfalls and all
the imperfect fruit when gathered;
and by thus destroying the insect
that causes the fruit to fall prema-
turely, better yield is insured in
future.
If one who intends to enter the
poultry business has already on hand
a good healthy stock of common
farm poultry, he may easily grade
it up in few years to tolerably
regular color, size and markings,
and even to becoming prolific lay
ers or good market fowls by the pur-
chase of a few pure bred cockerels.
But for every first-class bird he
would have to pay as much as for
one setting of eggs, and that, it
seems to me, would be far prefera-
BILE. for in the same length of time
as would be required for grading up
Southern live-stock journal., 1891-03-26

observing the pullets as they ap-
proach maturity, and selecting those
only which show desirable charac-
teristics-as color, correct markings,
early maturity and prolificacy-we
have the pleasure of seeing our flock
increase in value day by day, and
also feel that we ourselves are gain
ing fund of practical experience
which will be of untold benefit.
But whatever be the plan pursued,
the beginner should be satisfied to
start with a small flock and work
along slowly and judiciously, feeling
his way as he goes, and then he
will not pay too dearly for his expe-
rience.
Whatever building is done let it
be we'll done, and by this I do not
mean expensive improvements, but
those that will answer TIE purpose
for which they are intended and be
substantial and lasting in character.
The house will need no double walls,
glass windows or covered runs, nor
necessarily any flour. As rule,
poultry houses are built entirely too
high; hens should not be allowed to
roost more than six feet--fve is bet
ter-from the ground at any time
There will, then, be little danger OF
injury in flying down in the morn
ing, and if any of them show signs
of scaly legs and feet the attendant
can easily go into the, house at night
and with mop and pan of grease
mixed with kerosene oil, cure this
unsightly disease in half an hour.
But while arrar ging for the house
adequate means o. ventilation, be
sure that it can be locked securely
at night. In my neighborhood the
housekeeper who has the most abun-
dant supply of poultry for her table
is not the one who raises most, but
the one who locks the hen-house
every night. And | know that if
my poultry yard had a good paling
fence around it, with a gate that I
could lock in the day time, | would
get more eggs. The yard is in an

have the range of that, but they have
their nests in the yard and could
easily have doors to go IN and out,
large enough for them but too small
to admit our colored employees, who
seem to have good deal of business
out in that direction.
One must watch all the little
leaks in this business, else the prof
its will unconsciously slip through
his fingers; nothing but strict and
attention to details will
insure success. The work of feed
ing and watering the fowls and
cleansing their premises should be
done with strict regularity; and if

What 10 Said About IL by Agricultural de-

New Workers have been abstaining from the

cause the New York city board Of health seized
about thousand pounds Of the luscious product
and declared Its seizures unfit for food IL seems
that certain grape growers up the Hudson have
had their profits threatened by phylloxera and
to prevent any actual loss they sprayed the
vines and the grapes with a chemical solu-
ton known as the Bordeaux Mixture" into
the composition OF which sulphate Of copper
enters. The mixture is the remedy recon-
mended by She Agricultural Department. aud is,

John w. Mackay's Car Breaks the Record
Across the Continent.
New YoRK. Sept. 2S.--At 1885 o'clock
this morning the private coach Grassmere con-
tanning John ". Mackay, the California mil
lionaire, and Miss Fair, daughter OF Senator
James G. Fair, and sister OF Mrs. Herman
Oclrichs, rolled into the Grand Central depot
attached to the fast mail over the New York
Central and Hudson River railroad, having
made the fastest trip on record from San Fran
cisco to this city.
Mr.. Oeirichs was ct the derot awaiting the
train, which was reported twenty-three minutes
late at Poughkeepsie. Five minutes Of this
time was made up before reaching this city,
making the actual time of the trip, after
counting the difference of time between
the two cities, four days, twelve hours and
twcnty-eigbt minutes. This beats the record
OF Herman Oelrichs, who in August last made
the trip in four days. sixteen hours and ten
minutes.
The party left San Francisco at 7 o'clock on
Wednesday on the Southern Pacific mixed train,
arriving ut Green River. Wyo., in timo to catch
the fast train from Portland, Ore. They
reached Chicago ct Z o'clock yesterday morn
ing at the G. b. and 9. depot and were trans
ferred to the Lake Shore depot, leaving there
at 8 o'clock.
At Cheyenne, on tho Union Pacific, they were
] hour and IS minutes late, but made up
the time before reaching Council Bluffs. They
were again delayed by freight train or the
Lake Shore and consequently did not get in on
schedule time.
1t is rumored that Mr.. Mackay's trip to this
city is FOR the purpose Of looking after the in
forests of the Pacific roads, in connection with
the Searles will contest, and q visit to Salem
will probably be taken.

SAYS IT'S ALL BOSH,
President Ingalls, of the "BIg Four Denies

frcsidcnt ingalls, Of the "B1S Four Denies
MIR. GOuld's Statements.
CHICAGO, Sept. ga special to the Tribune
from Cincinnati says: President Ingalls, of the
big Four" system was seen tonight Sunday
with reference to the interview with Jay Gould,
in which Mr.. Gould complains that there has
been combination of six roads to injure tho
Missouri Pacific in its grain trade and to send all
tho business to Chicago. Mr.. Ingalls, says this
is all bosh. The only combination made by
the roads to which Mr.. Gould referred was to
keep up prices. Mr.. Ingalls, said that when it
ID thought the grain trade of the railroads is
only 10 per cent of their traffic the assertion
OF Mr.. Gould is ridiculous.
Regarding the statement of Gould that he
had ordered his brokers to buy Big Four stock
in large quantities, Dir. ingalls, asserted that he
did not believe it. Mr.. Gould had often told
Mr.. Ingalls, that he would send freight over the
Big Four, but had failed to do SO. The trouble
probably was that Gould could not get better
rates than anybody else.
Since the Barring failure" said Mr.. ingalls,,
Gould has been short on several stocks and
has not been able to catch up"

THE WESTERN EARTHQUAKE.

1t Was Predicted by a Blind Girl in st.
Louis.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 2S-The earthquake here
Saturday night was predicted by young
woman-Miss Jennie, the blind daughter of
Councilman John A. Sloan. Miss Sloan can
only discern the difference between light and
darkness. Last Thursday she looked ND at the
sun and remarked: There will be an earth
quake soOn.'
Again Saturday she declared that an earth
quake would doubtless occur that night. When
her prediction was verified by actual events
she looked upon it as a matter of course She
could give no reason for her prediction except
that the weather and the appearance of the sun
| impressed her with the belief that an earth
quake would soon occur.
CINCINNATI, Sept 2s.-The earthquake of
Saturday night was felt here by not more than
twenty people, and from the best accounts it
lasted about four seconds. The only excite
ment in the whole city was in the St. Paul
Hotel, at Sd and Broadway, where it
is said the boarders were frightened. No
damage whatever is reported in this section
from the quake, and outside of two localities
it was not noticed. The time Of the shock was
1888.
CHICAGO, Sept. pa few persons in this city
felt the earthquake shock Of Saturday night. 1t
was very light and Of short duration.
