to much of the non-success with poultry?
Isn't this the main cause of the small
profit or no profit OF the poultry depart
ment on many of our farms? You. my
readers, answer this question to your
selves.
A year ago l closed my triumphant ex-
hibit of over $157 profit from 800 pull

THE moral of this is plHr. Az there is
seven times as much pre- iii for he farmer
in November and December eggs rs there
is in March and April eggs. it iS obvious
that the thing to do Is: Get he chicks
out in May, keep them growing SO they
will come to laying maturity in October,
and then keep them laying"
The same mora is even more strikingly
enforced by his poor Sh"" inc Eek.

Net profit. $l34.4
Here we were feeding about 300 pullets

year. with totel net income of $134 "a,
or AK cents each, as against $157.2O
net income from 12O pulIets and hens in

earnings per fowl, as published in this

Look at the difference those figures
present. The bulk of the pullets we're

find their way to the New York mar

q very acceptable figure, representing the
net gain to a large broiler establishment
resulting from this cross.
But increased weight is not the only
advantage derived from the use OF the
Indian Game blood. Such is the prepo-
tency of this breed that the progeny,
with scarcely an exception, have the
plump, meaty bodies of the Games, and
for that reason will bring a better price
in market than the ordinary broiler.
The pulIets of this mating are colored
like the Wyandotte, but have more regu-
lar markings. They are said to be great
layers. One breeder told me that they
would lay from fifty to sixty eggs before
becoming brOody. For those who believe
in cross breed fowls the foregoing facts
may be worth remembering. - Irving

In all that has been written concerning

The (Hen) Fruit Not Injured.

Poultry is still on top. The freeze has
not made the feathers drop or injured the
(hen) fruit, though we will admit that it
has diminished the egg supply some
what-all but the ducks, they seem to like
it, and every duck keeps up her average of
one day. When they make start they
seldom ever stop until July. We are
averaging ten eggs from twelve ducks
daily, rain or shine, hotOrcold. We still
hold to our opinion, that it is the cheap
4 and best meat supply we can posi-
bIy have. Ducks are hardy-easily raised;
a. three months old can be made to
weigh five to nix pounds each. BY hatch
ing every month from January to July,
you can have a constant supply
of just the right age. There is no
meat we can raise as cheap. While the
eggs may not be equal to hen eggs for
table use, for every other purpose they
are just as good. When people fail in
duck raising it is largely due to the non
use of animal food. We have recon-
mended this to many who did not succeed
before it's USE afterwards they had
healthy birds and plenty Of eggs. We
should very much regret to have to give
up our flock of ducks.
Ii you have not green food use sub
stitute and the best we know of is clover
hay; ia fact the Way We use it, we prefer it
to most any green material, unless it is
cabbage or co ked beets. Glover hay
cut fine and steamed long time is very
much rel!shed by domestic fowls OF every
kind. This and animal meal with very
little grain good added, is wholesome
food and fowls will thrive on it.
~
On February Dist you will have an
opportunity to see an exhibit Olive stock
including poultry, at the South Florida
Fair held at Orlando.
Ii we could have known it last fall
have no doubt but that considerable
interest might have been stirred up iii

we fear the results will not be all it might
have been.
Poultry shows are SO numerous all
around us. We should have been proud
OF u good exhibit at Orlando this year
as a starter, and we could have improved
each year perhaps until we could have
