Cost of Eggs as Food.

An egg weighing one and three fourths
ounces contains 120 grains of carbon and
seventeen and three-fourths grains of
nitrogen, or 1925 per cent of carbon and
two per cent of nitrogen. The value of
one pound of eggs, as for sustaining the
active forces of the body, is to the value
of one pound of lean beef as 1854 to
5000. AS a flesh producer, one pound
of egg is equal to one pound of beef. A
hen will consume on an average, one
bushel of corn yearly, and lay ten dozen
eggs, or fifteen pounds. This is equiva-
lent to saying that three and one fourth
pounds of corn Will produce, when fed
to hen, five-sixths of pound of egg,
but five"sixths of a pound Of pork re-
quires about five pounds of corn for it's
production. Taking into account the
nutriment in each, and the comparative
prices of the two on an average, the pork
is the more costly food, and less health
full than eggs.-Poultry Keeper.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1895-09-04
A Large Egg Yield.

The winners of the prize offered by
the National Stockman last winter for
largest yield of eggs per hen was pen
of White Plymouth Rocks, owned by w.
S. Stevens, McChanicstown, Ohio. This
flock averaged 2S9 eggs per hen for the
year. The management of this flock is
given by Mr. Stevens, as follows:
''They have free access to oyster shells
and grit. | give them twice week
fresh granulated bone. Their food con-
sists of warm breakfast, equal parts of
bran, white middlings and chopped corn
and oats, and into this l put for them
fine beef meal. At noon I feed wheat,
which is thrown into the scratching
shed. This gives them exercise in OBJ
tanning their noon meal. In the evening
they are fed whole corn. During the
time from the first of April to the first
of November, | feed the same, with this
change: In the morning their mash is
mixed with cold water, and in the even
ing wheat takes the place of corn.
Cleanliness is a very important matter
IN regard to the maintenance Of health
FOR young fowls. | clean the house
twice week during the winter, and in
the summer every other day. I have
been breeding the Plymouth Rocks now
for five years, and have not as yet had
any disease, and attribute it to cleanll-
ness and proper care"

Profit In and Care of Chickens.

But few realize how profitable poultry
and egg production can be made, pro-
vided as much time and attention is
given to it as to many other less I'M
portant vocations. Some one has de-
cided that a hen can be kept for less
than fifty cents year. At the low price
of ten cents a dozen, this would leave a
net profit of fifty cents. At this rate, it
will pay every farmer to keep flock of
hens and give them proper care. There
is no danger of overproduction. AS long
AS the United States annually imports
millions of dozens of eggs, the market
will not be glutted.
Fowls to be profitable must be given
proper attention. Those running at large
will almost take care of themselves for
a part of the year. They are our CLEAN
ers and economizers, for they every day
convert into eggs what would otherwise
90 to waste. However, fowls in confine.
ment need different treatment. Meat
food must be supplied. The most salts
factory means of providing this is to Sc.
cure a green bone mill and give them
green-cut bone. This meat food, or at
least some sort of similar food, is almost
an absolute necessity for yarded fowls.
Tender green stuff is also valuable. Last
fall owed patch of rye for early spring
green's" Early this season a patch of
oats to furnish green food after the rye
had become too far advanced. EARLY
each morning and every evening, a bas
ket of green stuff was cut with pair of
shears and given them. The results have
been most satisfactory. We have lots of
fertile eggs, and nice, thrifty, healthy
fowls. 1t pays to raise chickens and to
attend to their wants and needs.-Ameri-
can Agriculturist,
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1895-09-04
Chicken Cholera.

We have been asked many times by
friends and subscribers, to write and
publish an article upon the above sub
ject. Complying, we will try to tell in
few lines all we know. The symptoms
are: The fowls stand around and show
an unwillingness to move, the comb
loses it's bright scarlet color and looks
dark, as if bruised, with pale discolora-
lions near the head; they are purged
with greenish-yellow excavations, refus-
ing food but seem to be very thirsty, and
drink water in large quantities; become
sleepv. and die in from "a to 48 hours.
Inmy experience, cholera seldom at
tacks the young chicks, but seems to
confine itself to the old and half grown
fowls. When young chicks commence
to die, look out for lice. That is gen
orally what you have to combat with
then, and this, | think, is VIII It VIZ ters
mean when they say that more than
half the cases Of socalled cholera is
merely lice.
Now for the remedy. Once assured
cholera has broken out, lose no time,
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1895-09-04

but go to work at once. First, separate
all sick and ailing fowls from the flock
and change the location of the balance,
if possible. Commence Immediately
and clean up. Prepare the well-known
Oougl ass mixture, which is made by dis
solving pound of copperas in two gal
Ions of water and add to this one gill of
sulphuric acid Ito cause the water to
take up the copperas in solution). With
this sprinkle the fowl house, yards, and
every place the fowls have been, if pos
sible, and spade up or pillow the fowl
yard, and then sprinkle again. This
mixture is cheap, and it will kill the
cholera germ or bacilla. Clean water
vessels and add a teaspoonful of liquid
carbolic acid to three pints of water.
Carbolic acid is a poison, and as the
fowls will not eat but will drink, it is
used to kill the cholera bacilla. These
bacila are present in countless millions
in the fowls intestine and their evac-
uations scatter them all over the premi
es and fowls eating from this contain
mated ground and grass are the new
victims. The carboliZed water and
Bond s chicken cholera cure, which we
have. used for years, and always with
success, cures some and prevents the
spread of the disease amoung the birds,
while the Douglass mixture destroys the
germs on the premises. After the fowls
recover, cooked food, such as corn bread,
rice, fresh boiled potatoes, and the like,
should be given, and prepared tonic
food, such as Mansfeld's Magic Foods
that can be easily assimilated by the
fowls, would be the best thing to be
done to restore the vigor of the flock.
We neglected to say that as soon as
change for the better occurs and fowls
seem to be getting we'll, reduce carbolic
acid, adding one teaspoonful to gallon of
water and add to this water a small
quantity Of the Douglass mixture and
some extract of ginger as a tonic.-

characterized by Mr.. Charles Laudin in
recent publication subst antially as fol-
lows: "The advantages of the region
are due to two causes equally potent, the
shelter of the Alps and their ramifca-
lions, and the influence of the Mediter-
ranean Sea, which modifies the heat of
summer and prevents severe cold in win

The climate is also characterized by
the serenity of the sky, the clearness of
the air and the brilliancy of the sun

we are not aware that irrigation is
practiced to any extent by European
almond growers.
The tree requires less moisture than
most orchard trees, succeeding best in a
deep, dry soil, and where there are
abundant rains in Winter and spring it
natures it's crop of fmit and makes
sufficient growth with little rainfall dur
ing the growing season.
You are doubtless aware that consid-
cradle progress has been made in the
culture of this nut In your State. and
that the experience of the California
growers is likely to be of greater value TO
you than that of growers IL Europe,
where climate and soil conditions are
quite different.

Almond Culture.

Twenty years ago the almond was ex-
tenslvely planted and much written
about by those who believed it crop
that would pay we'll to grow. The plant
ing, however, seems to have been done
in sections not the best, or, what is very
likely, the varieties then available were
not such as it would be profitable to grow
anywhere. At all events the crop has
been neglected of late years. Expert
ments have seemed to show that 1t will
do better in the less humid sections than
in the coast counties.
In Southern California the almond
has been found to do especially we'll in
the elevated regions of the northern part
of Los Angeles county, In Antelope Val
ley, where quite speciality has been
made of almond culture and much sue.
cess achieved since then, the trees bear
ing young and heavily. Those who are
growing almonds or who think of doing
so will be interested IN the following let
ter from the Department of Agriculture
at Washington, which was sent in reply
to an inquiry:
In response to an inquiry from A. L.
Hitchcock of Los Angeles, Assistant
Secretary Dabney of the Department of
Agriculture at Washington replied:
regret to inform you that this depart
ment has little definite information on
the subject.
A large part of the almonds imported
to this country come from France,
mostly from the port of Marseilles.
These are mostly grown in Southeastern
France and the Island of Corsica.
Deep limy or sandy and gravellY soils
on slopes protected from the north wind
are selected. The trees live longer and
bear longer and more regular crops in
such locations than on moister and lower
ground.
The hard shelled varieties are reported
to yield a more certain revenue than
those with soft shells, the former yield
ing about three times as great a weight
of nuts per season as the latter.
The climate of the former region is

SELMA IS STIRRED
BY THE SERVICES OF DR. DICKINSON
first Step in a Prohibition Campaign-At- tempt at Train-Wrecking- Towards
 Shoot at Women.

Selma, Sept. 23.-(Special)-Dr A. J. Dickinson, pastor of the First Baptist church in this city, preached a sermon against the liquor traffic last night which has stirred the city. It is the first step in a prohibition campaign. He stated that bill would be offered in the next legis- lature submitting the liquor traffic to the people of the city and county and that the candidates for the next legisa- ture would be sounded on their willing ness to press such a bill to its passage. He also stated that the city council would be petitioned to pass an ordinance closing the bar rooms from 9 D. m. until s a. m. Near the close of his sermon he said: Underneath the democratic party is the jug and you cannot afford to break away from that jug and you know it. I am ready to acknowledge and fol- low political leader when he is worthy, but I am not ready to follow your 'yaller dog or whisky jug, even though he be the democratic nominee"
 The Mobile and Birmingham mail train, due here at II o'clock last night, ran into timbers laid across the rails twenty miles south of this city. The engine was derailed and disabled. No one was hurt. Detectives are at work on the case.
 As Harris Brantley, farmer, and his wife and daughter drove home from the city last night they met two drunken men in a wagon, who opened fire on them with a double-barre shotgun, filling the shoulders and faces of them with bird shot. There is no clue to the miscreants.

TWO CElNCHERS.
The Testimony of Pawnbroker 0ppenheimer and That of Cigafmaker Phillips-Du-
 rant Smiled, Aii the Same.

San Francisco sSapt.. 23.-Pawnbroker .Oppenheim again took the stand this morning in the Durant trial. He was questioned closely by the attorneys for the defense as to Durant and his alleged offer of Blanche Lamont's ring for sale,
 The witness remembered that on April g. the day of the girls disappearance, he had only two customers, one of whom was a farmer who offered a watch for sale, and the other- was a woman, who wished to dispose of her wedding ring. From the way the questions were asked it was apparent that the defense would endeavor to show that Durant was some where else on@the3 mornings between the 4th and 10th of April. The witness gave a complete description of the accused, but admitted that he had read it.
 W..J. Phillips, cigarmaker of San Rafal. was the next witness. He testi- fled that one morning in the early part of April last, while waking along Du- pont street, he saw a man, whom he pos sitively Identified as Durant, standing in front of Oppenheimer's store, with his right hand closed and extended in front of him, and also saw Oppenheim about 3 feet inside of the door looking at Du- rant. Phillips then pointed Durant out in the court as the man referred to-, Durant merely smiled. He then picked out Oppenheim from the crowd in the court room as the man who stood in the door way looking at Durant.

Atlanta, Sept 29nrThe woman's de partment of the Cotton States and In- ternational exposition began work today with the formal opening of the first of the woman's congresses to be held under the auspices of the board. The auditorium of the womans' building was crowded, and the music was, furnished by Gil mores band, with Victor Herbert lead ing. Mrs. Joseph Thompson, president of the woman's board, and Mrs. Louie NJ. Gordon, chairman of the committee on women's congresses, made addresses, and an opening ode was read by Mrs. Margharita Irlina Hamm of the New York Mail and Express. The occasion formally inaugurates the many con gresses of women which are to be held in the womeh's. building during the pc riod of the exposition,
 All the governors are gone. Governor Woodbury of Vermoht and Governor Werts, with their military escorts, left yesterday by the Southern for their homes. Governor Morton left last night on a special train. Governor Mckinley went back to. Ohio and Governor McIn- tyre to Colorado. a .a
 Governor Morton and staff returned home on a special train. Just before leaving the governor had talk with Frank M Baker. commissioner to, the exposition from New York who is here experimenting the construction of the New York building. The governor ex- pressed himself as being amazed at the successful continuation of such an un- dertaking by city of Atlanta's size.
 Baker" said he, 'ican you conceive how city like Atlanta can do so much? It is simply amazing This is a great fair and every one should see it. hope all New York will come, and l will try and see to it that my people are told of the greatness of this southern exposi- tion."
 Col. John Jacob Astori Hamilton Fish. Jacob A. Cantor and Senators Stanch- field and sO'Conner talked in the same strain. Senator Cantor said he hoped to come back some time soon. The party had but one day at the fair and much of that time was taken up in ceremonies.

HOLMES ARRAIGN ED.
After Argument His Trial Is Set for Octo-
 Der 2S.

Philadelphia, Pa, Sept. 23.-Herman w. Mudgett, alias H. H. Holmes, was ar raigned before Judge Finletter in the court of oyer and terminer today on an indictment charging him with the mur- der of Benjamin F. Pitezel in this city on September g. 1894.
 Upon the advice of his counsel, Will liam H. Shoemaker and Samuel P. Rotan the prisoner pfeaded not guilty. District Attorney Graham asked that Monday October 2S, be fixed for the beginning of the trial. Holmes counsel objected to this date, but the judge, after hearing argument on both sides, stated that he thought October 2S, would give the de- fendant sufficient time in which to pre- pare his case. He then ordered that the trial be set down for that day with the understanding that when the time ar rived neither side could expect to come into court and obtain a continuance on paltry excuses.
