Poultry Show.

The catalogue Of the South Florida
Fair Association of Orlando is being
circulated, if you haven't received a copy
write to the secretary to send you one
and see how literally they have provided
for the poultry department., and then
make up your mind to be one OF the many
to encourage it by exhibiting a trio of
every variety you raise. Two hundred
dollars are offered in premiums and no
enterance fee, youpay the transportation
to Orlando and your fouls will be taken
from the express office and cared for
and returned when the show is over.
If Florida Poultry men allow this oppor-
tunity to pass without improving it they
deserve to be called a stupid set and
don't know good thing when they see
it.
We think the managers have made an
error in not including Indian Comes and
Buff LeghOrn in their premium list and
we trust this is only an oversight aud
will be remieded later for these two
varieties are among the most popular
and show will not be eomplete- without
them; better leave out Cochnis if the
money for premiums will not reach, for
the last named are not a success in
Florida and never will be, they are not

Space for the Poultry.
OrInond,

To preserve your breeding stock in
good order, you must give them room to
move about in. They must have ample
roosting places where they will not crowd
each other at night. They must be ap-
portiOned in numbers during the day
time, so that they will not be hived and
hudLled togethed, against their will.
And at all times, by day or by
night, they must have breathing space,
fresh air, and area or they cannot thrive
and grow and lay eggs.
In the instances we have referred to
over a hundred fowls we're kept in one
small yard-a dozen cocks and about a
hundred pullets together. Twenty five
birds would be ample as to numbers for
the space thus appropriated. But the
anxious proprietor wanted to get
''plenty of eggs" when the fowls were
naturally in their best laying condition,
and upon his theory "the more pullets
the more eggs" Yet it turned out in
single months time in his experience, the
more hens thus huddled together the
fewer eggs he obtained, and the more
sickness, vermin, and death occurred
among them.
Never crowd your fowls. You cannot
gain anything by this process. They
must be kept from coming into bodily
contact with each other. And if you
would have them healthy, vigorous, and
profitable as layers, give them room to
circulate and exercise in. Furnish them
with good sound food, clear water, and
ample ventilati IN of their hou SEES. And
never forget that it is the poorest OF all
poor economy to undertake to get salts
factory returns from hundreds of fowls
that are stived up in the space that only
a few scores can live aud breath and move
about comfortably in.-AmeTican POul-

Roup.

A lady from South Florida writes us
for remedy for her flock and she de-
scribes the disease, as a swelling of the
head, loss of appetite, great langor, but
the first symptoms is little water bills .ers
with scab forms on thecomb or wattIes
or white substance OF a cherry appear
ance 10 mouth and throat, and Says
many OF her neighbors are loosing chicks
and grown fowls from the same troubles.
One word tells the whole story. Roup.
Although the water blisters or warts are
usually known in the south sSOre head,
and if taken at this stage can be cured
easily in II or "a hours. The wart 80
called is OF a cankerous nature and will
spread until it covers the whole comb or
waffle and oftentimes both.
Ii the disease is prevelant land it will
be in damp cloudy weather if you fowls
are out of condition) watch for first
symptoms, which usually is lack OF ap-
petite but not always. When you dis
cover scab or wart. catch the foul at
once wash the scab off with hot water and
a sponge, then with little camel hair
brush anoint the place with a strong So
luton of sulphate of copper dissolved in
warm water, this will dry it up at once
and will effect a cure at once. Should it
be in the eye or canker in the mouth first
remove the canker and apply the suIp-
hate of copper (Blue virtroD. If in the
eye pull a feather from the fowls wing
and with the butt end of it remove this
cheesy substance and use the brush and
wash. The solution will cause a hard
scab to grow which is not necessary to
remove for when it heals over the scab
will come off of it's own accord.
This is very simple remedy and the
best have ever used.
Always separate the fowl from the flock
for it will spread if the one so affected is
allowed to drink from the same fountain.
AS preventive or when you see SYM
ptons OF loss Of appetite, use our kerosene
and turpentine remedy published in
former number of the AGRICULTURIRT.

tunlty was caught on to by the

Naturally enough, when bankers see

annum; in France, $125; in Holland

In railroads for transporting this wheat,
taken in connection with their cheap
labor, the time is already here when
the American farmer must sell his pro-
doc in the markets of the world in
competition with the wheat produced
by the lowest priced labor of other
countries, and that his care and concern
must, in the future, be to preserve his
home market, for he must of necessity

by diminishing the cost Of his produc-
ton he can successfully compete with
the unequal conditions Ihave described.

Tobacco Growine Intersst..

The tariff ON foreign tobacco has not
only had the effect of increasing the
consumption of domestic tobacco. but
1t has also Lad the effec of causing a
very MARRIED improvemel 1t in the quail
lty OF the domestic goods. Tobacco
mar ufacturers have ser IN the increased
GJmand, and competitio N has compelled
them to vie with one mother in placing
the best goods ON the market. Growers
are producing better quality of tobac-
co Leaf. as they get more money for
their crop and take more interest in it.
Manufacturers are placing better ar
ticle on the market, and the American
llaborers and woirkmen get better or
10 cent domestic. cigar for their money
today than they ever did before. There
is only one class that complains, and
that is the Democratic party, whose
platform calls for tho cheap COM
forts' of life. They want cheap i'm
ported cigars, as nothing American is
good enough for them, and in order to
get their cheap imported comforts
they would sacrifice the industry of the
tobacco growers of the United States,
together with every other American in
dustry - Charles r. auckland.

SAILORSSUFFERED
Crew of the Little Schooner Dread
naught Four Days Without s
Food.
They We're Rescued by the Steamer
Syracuse in PeriShing
Condition,
And Taken to the Emergency Hos
pital at Milwaukee Clothes
Chopped Off.

MILWAUKEE. Dec. 6.-Four days and
nights without food or sleep, clinging to
wreck, exposed to seas and snowstorms
until almost frozen to death; such was
the experience of the crew of the little
schooner Dreadnaught, who are at the
Emergency hospital in this city, bound
up in cotton batting. The Dreadnaught's
crew, which consisted of Captain An
drew Olson of Washington island, and
one sailor, Harry Peterson, whose home
is in Chicago, were rescued by
the steamer Syracuse. When 80 miles
southeast of Racine the lookout on the
Syracuse discovered the little vessel
drifting about in its helpless condition.
It.was mass of ice from bow to stern.
The crew of the Syracuse at first thought
it deserted, but drawing nearer saw two
men on deck covered with ice from head
to foot. Ropes were thrown them as
the Syracuse came alongside, and
they We're hauled aboard. They were
nearly dead, and the ice had to be
chopped from their clothing before it
could be removed. They were provided
with dry clothing and given stimulants
until they had somewhat revived. Off
this port they we're transferred to a tug,
which brought them ashore. They We're
too overcome to walk, and in an ambu-
lance they were sent to the emergency
hospital, where they were given medical
attention. The doctors think the men
will be all right within few days.

enue. Ucder the alleged unconstitu-
tional Mckinley tariff last year, our
customs duties contributed only $173,-

tribute to the revenue to the extent of
$270, 203, 900, nearly 500, 900, 900 more
than the unconstitutional Mckinley

say the Democrats. It will build up
our national revenue as it was intended
and we shall hear nothing more of
contemplated deficiency of $50, 900, 900
before the end of the year. But the
poor people will have to pay 500, 000,.
600 more in taxes under the free tr9 ,ie

Democratic party.

let them study the situation as here set
forth. Nothing could be palmer.
There is no mystery about it. Every
body will understand it now. Let
US hear no more of the word protection
from West Virginia or elsewhere. Pro-
lection IS unconstitutional, says the
Democratic creed. The people deci ed
SO last November. Mr.. Wilson can.
IN day, draw up simple bill of a
single paragraph to repeal the existing
protection and to fix the tariff for rev.
enue only at 20 per cent or so per cent,
rs the revenue may need. Then the
constitution will be vindicated. The
poor people will pay more taxes and
earn less wages under the execution of
Democratic theory.

Protecting Vegetables In winter.

1t does not seem to be generally known
that light in the winter time is the chief
agent in the destruction Of vegetables:
otherwise hardy, and especially light;
shining brightly on the plant when
frozen. A cabbage or turnip that is ex-
posed to the light rots readily, but will
keep perfectly sound If but slightly COW
cred with earth. This principle should ibe
remembered when collecting vegetables
together in large masses for protection.
1t is often customary to cover such
sets of vegetables with some light ma
terial, such as leaves, hay or straw, the
result of which generally is simply to
form harbor for mice, which are much
more destructive than the frost itself.
Water has, of course, to be excluded,
and if the vegetable plants are set close
ly together and covered with boards to
keep out the rain, it is generally all that
is required. Water must be excluded,
or else rotting may result. For this pur-
pose it is good practice to invert vege-
tables. The cabbage especially must re-
ceive this attention. They are almost
always inverted when placed together
under boards or covers for protection
and, in fact, where no covering at all ii
used they will keep perfectly well wh( 4
inverted. -Meehan's Monthly.

Brayton Ives on Henry Willard.

In connection with the appointment

railroad, Mr.. Brayton Ives addresses
letter to the directors of that road, say
ing of Mr.. Willard: His career has
been unique. With no ostensible or
visible occupation during the past FIVE
years other than that of president or
chairman Of three great companies, he
leaves them impoverished, but he has
acquired fortune, if his friends state
ments can be trusted, at the rate Of 81
600, 900 a year." In conclusion w.
Ives characterizes Willard as 1.-THE
shrewdest, widest, least scrupulor a and
most successful financial adv enturer
that has ever come to this cou..try."

PROTECT AGRICULTURE.
It Is Quite as Important as Our Manufae.
IL

It Is Quite as Important a. Our Manufso-
turing Industries.
The population of the United States
is probably now not less than IS, 000,-
900. If the same ratio as to the en-
ployment of our people holds good, there
are now about 100000 people who
earn wages or live by work. including
about 5000, 900 engaged in agricultu-
raj pursuits. There is no other single
industry that gives employment to 30
many of our people as agriculture.
While the product of the agriculturists
does not equal in value the product Of
the manufacturing industries, agricul-
ture is, to certain extent, the basis
and foundation of all other industries.
No industry can possibly exist without
it. The farmer feeds all the people.
The miner who goes down into the
earth may dispense with a house and
live in the hole he has dug. The lady
may dispense with the bonnet and de-
pend upon the covering for the head
which nature has given her. And the
man who tolls may dispense with shoes
for his feet and wrap the raw hide
about them. But none of them can
dispense with the products of the farm.
All must have bread or die. Agricul-
ture should therefore be protected, and
there is no country in the world where
it stands more in need of protection
than in the United States. It should
be protected in the products it produces
and in the market in which it sells its
surplus products. The latter is quite as
important as the former. If the farmer
cannot sell, there ia no incentive to pro-
duce more than enough fer his own
wants. And if he has no surplus. or
cannot sell what he has, he cannot buy ..
clothing to keep out the cold or the
of life upon which he lives.
1t is the money from his surplus pro-
ducts that enables him to live.-The
Late Thomas Fl. Dudley of New Jersey.

were arrested late in the night, charged
with counterfeiting. Detectives hunting
the robbers who held up the Covington
electric car at Latonia a few weeks ago,
traced them to Race street, north of
Canal, and found their men in a coun-

dimes, quarters and halves were being
made. Some of the property stolen at
Latonia was also found and the two men
arrested. Crawford has just finished a

State Bank Tax.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The interest in
the proceedings of the banking and cur
rency committee again revives upon the
assembling of congress. The repeal of
the 10 per cent tax on state bank circu-
lation is the theme which members are
discussing in connection with this COM
mittee. 1t is expected there will be no
more hearings and that the committee
will at once take up and decide the
question of reporting either favorably or
adversely on one of the pending bills.
The contest over the bill, both in the
committee and in the house, if it gets
that far, will be very interesting.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The free coin
age men of the house do not see any sill
yer lining in the message OF President
Cleveland. They exhibited some disap-
pointment, not for publication, but as
expressing their belief that the president
did not care to see any legislation look
ing to the reconciliation of silver. They
said that the suggestion about an inter-
national conference was vague and in
Dictated that there was not much
apparent desire on the part of the
administration to have the question CON-
sidered at an early day. In talking to
such members of congress as claimed to
be free silver men, but who voted to re-
peal the Sherman law, the free coinage
men said that it was the fulfllment of
what they predicted at the time-that
the unconditional repeal of the Sherman
law meant that there would be no more
silver legislation during this congress,
and that it was not intended that there
should be any during the present ad-
ministration.
