Ducks and Incubaters.

II is not desirable to have ducks lay in
Deem Der. The greatest dem and fol
ducks eggs is IN January and February,
and those months are the most favorable
to them, as they usually then begin their
work. Should they begin to lay this
month it would be we'll to reduce their
food to one meal day, giving but a
partial ration Any gain in eggs now
will be at loss near the end of the
season of laying. The eggs from ducks
bring the best prices in April, when they
usually sell for twice as much as do eggs
from hens, but as the summer opens
the prices gradually being to decline
until the eggs from ducks and hens sell
for about the same This is not Just to
the farmer, however, as it costs much
more in food to produce the larger eggs,
Asbrsk demand exists in February for
eggs from Pekin ducks, as they are then
desired for incubators, the Matching of
ducklings occurring late in the season
then is the case with the incubation of
chicks. When Christmas is over and the
ducks begin to lay, care should be ex-
ercised in the matter of feeding. They
then require about one-thirG meat, the
ordinary ground article being excellent.
One of the best uses for potatoes is to
cook them for ducks. By so doing
quite fair price will be secured for the
potatoes, as mess of cooked potatoes
and ground oats will form an excellent
ration. If preferred, the ground meat
may be added to the mixture. The point
to observe at present, however, is not to
induce the ducks to lay until next
month

Care of Fowls.

The feeding of fowls should not be
done carelessiy. Cleanliness must be
observed. This cannot be done if food
Is kept before The birds at all times.
Only as much food should be supplied
as they will eat up clean. The soft morn
Ing meal should be scattered on a board
in such way that the fowls may collect
round 1t and eat without crowding or in
terfering with one another.
AS soon as the fowls have finished the
board should be SWEPT and drawn up in
a corner, so as to keep it clean for the
next day. Any surplus food should be
removed. Whole grains may be scattered
on the floor, but clean spot should be
selected, though this is not so important
as with the soft food, to which any filth
more readily adheres. 1t is essential that
fowls be supplied with pure water. For
this reason the drinking-vessel should
be of kind into which droppings, etc.,
cannot readily fall, and the water should
be renewed daily.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1895-12-18

is coming to be considered one of the
paying departments of the farm. There
are but few farmers where 100 hens will
not support themselves nine months in
the year upon that which would other
wise be wasted. Two cheap houses,
boxed, battened and lined with tar
paper, with shed attached to each
where the fowls can scratch and exer-
else on stormy days, will keep them com
Portable and inclined to lay all winter.
The sheds may be pole frames covered
and sided with straw or shock fodder
The houses, if open, may be made COM
Portable by setting fodder around them
to be removed IN summer If troubled
with mites. A good house is cheapest to
begin with if one can afford it. but
cheap straw covered one will answer if
warm and clean.
The fowls should not be let out on
stormy days, and yet they need exercise
to keep laying and healthy. So the shed,
protected from the cold winds and open
on the south, gives them place, and
small grain in the shed Or scattered in
the straw gives them an incentive to
work. A piece of meat hung just high
enough to give them little trouble in
reaching it interests them amazingly,
while few bits thrown into the shed
causes race that is healthful. Water
with the chill off should be provided
several times a day In cold weather.
Throw your coal ashes around the doors
and under the sheds. The hens like to
pick among them, and they form hard
dry surface not easily made muddy.
Grit is'indispensable. Coarse sand and
broken dishes broken fine will meet this
need. Many cases of 50 called cholera
result from indigestion, caused by a
lack of grit to grind the whole grain.

The Guinea Fowl.

We are glad to see that the Guinea
fowl is receiving SO much attention at
the hands of breeders and farmers gen.
orally, for they have merits Of no mean
order-merits which are just beginning
TO be appreciated.
Despite the many years of domestica-
ton which the Guinea fowl has under
gone, it still possesses in a marked de-
gree it's wild, untamed nature, preferrlng
TO roosJ IN trees to roosting in an inclos-
ure, and almost invariably hiding their
nest in some secluded, far away spot,
where they shell out the eggs in great
numbers.
Young Guineas are the prettiest, cut
est little things imaginable, reminding
one of young partridges, which we often
come across in the woods and openings
during the early summer. When quite
young, before they change their dress of
soft down for one of feathers, they are
exceedingly tender and difficult to raise;
but after they have passed this critical
period they are Just the opposite, and
assert their wild nature by p-eferring to
care for themselves in great measure.
Cornmeal should never be fed to young
Guineas during their "babyhood," but
the food should be the same as that
given to young turkey s-such as stale
bread soaked in fresh milk, cottage
cheese (made from thick milk after the
whey has been strained Off, bits Of hard
boiled egg, chopped onion, toast, ETC.,
not forgetting that when feathering up
they require the food little and often, as
much as they will eat at feed, and no
more.
Guinea fowls are very useful where
there are many enemies to poultry. such
as hawks, snakes, rats, etc., for they are

ever on the alert to detect danger and
give the alarm quickly, and in such
shrill and oft-repeated tones that the
enemies generally leave ere the owner of
the fowls can come upon the scene with
his overloaded gun and dog. The flesh
Of these fowls is relished by many, in
fact, by all who like gamy flavor and
dark meat, which the Guineas supply,
while their eggs, though small, are ex-
ceedingly rich, and the numbers they
lay fully make UP for any want of size

Homemade Drinking Fountains.

There are several ways of furnishing
water for fowls that commend them
selves to use after trial. One way is
to take gallon jug and set it In basin
with flaring sides, the bottom of which
is about the size of the jug or little
larger. In one side of the jug, about an
inch below the top, punch hole about
the size of an eight-penny nail. This
can be done with an ordinary steel wire,
but better way is TO have a blacksmith
drill it through. Set the jug in the basin
and fill it with water, stopping the neck
of the jug with tight cork, and the
water will run out until it stands in the
basin on level with the hole in the jug,
as the pressure Of the air will hold it at
level, and as fast as the fowls drink 1t
the water will run out and maintain that
level until the jug is empty. The cork
must be air tight or the water will all
run out of the jug. Set this untain on
block six inches high for old hens and
they will not scratch dirt into the water.
If lit sets out of doors the jug may be
covered with piece of flannel or old
blanket.
Another plan for small chicks is to
take any vessel not too high and fill it
with pebbles about the size of Guinea
eggs or a little smaller and then fill it
with water. The chicks can drink from
between the pebbles and can walk over
the vessel. without getting wet. The
stones keep them out of the water while
drinking and if they are crowded by otl.-
ers they are pushed off instead Of being
trampled into the water to get chilled.
An ordinary fruit can with the top
melted off, filled with water and saucer
placed over it, and then turned upside
down, makes a good fountain for little
chicks. Sometimes not enough water
will run out under the edge for the
chicks, and in this case a hole must be
punched in the side of the can, taking
care to have the hole below the level of
the top of the saucer when the can is in
verted.
l have tried all three of these ways
and found them very satisfactory

Diversity Your Crops.

The wise farmer will this year plan
his operations with view to growing,
first, of all things, bountiful supply Of
food crops for man and beast. A great
drawback to the South has been the mis-
take of buying largely every year of prod
ucts that can and ought to be grown at
home. To be prosperous year after year,
Southern farmers must grow food crops
and if they have some to sell, so much
the better.
The South also buys too much meat,
that can be produced cheaper at home.
To have permanently, the South must
be made as nearly self sustained as pos
sible. AS we buy less and sell more, in
that proportion will we become perma-
nently prosperous.
In other sections of Florida, where
many have mainly depended upon fruit
and vegetable growing, there comes the
cheering news that many are preparing
to plant general farm crops this year.
They have learned the sad lesson, we are
sorry to say, learned by many in other
sections, that it is not wise to depend
upon any one crop.

The Gold Wave of February 7th.


No event has eyer happened in the his
tory OF the State that has excited such a
wide range of inquiry among all classes
OF our citizens as the great freeze that
visited the State on the 7th of the pres
ent month. From all sections of the
east and northwest still come inquiries
as to it's effect upon the future of the
howery commonwealth of the Republic.
1t is idle for even our best informed
citizens to speculate upon the causes that
lead 70 the periodic changes in the tenn
perature that the operation of natural
laws ordained should hang about the
semi-tropic regions of the globe. They
must be regarded as phenomenal hap
penings, the causes of which are beyond
the ken of the human senses to deter
mine. To say the least the freeze of
Dec. 20, 1894, and of Feb. 7, 1895, will go
upon record as the mythical period in
Florida's history.
With the cause that led to these hap
penings the present has nothing to do.
But higher and a nObler duty now de-
wolves upon the hum blest, as we'll as the
most exalted citizen, duties, that de-
mand the exercise of the noblest quail
ties of manhood and citizenship. 1t
must be remem bered that nature makes
no mistakes. Some of her manifesta-
tiOns may seem severe at the time of
their occurrence, but time will reveal
the wisdom and demonstrate the impor-
lance Of all her ministrations. That the
two disastrous freezes that have visited
many of our citizens, all admit, but that
the loss is as disastrous as some seem to
think is conviction not generally
shared by the thoughtful citizen. No
one can yet tell or form an approximate
idea, as to the real damage done to the
life of the groves Of the State. Time
must be given to make visible the real
damace, and enforce the lesson intend d
TO be taught. One thing is already
forcing itself upon our people and that
is the Importance of diversity of crops.
A larger acreage of other crops will be
planted this year than at any other
period in our history, this will demon
strate the adaptation of our soil to the
growth of food crops, an experiment
never before attempted in many sections
of the orange bearing district. Again,
the freeze may result in the destruction
of many insects, known and unknown
that were constant menance to the life
of the orange tree as well as other fruit
trees peculiar to our State; in the north
ern tier of counties embraced in the or
ange bearing belt, the farmers are pre-
pairing to plant larger acreage to cot
ton than any year since 1876. If we add
to this the we'll known fact that freezing
of the ground adds to it's fertility the
freeze may be looked upon as blessing
in disguise.
OF one thing Florida can continue to
boast. She is blest with the memory of
more days of sunshine than any other
portion of the habitable globe. The
breath of her springs and almost endless
summers will still linger among her
blooming japonicas, her magnolias and
oleanders and the thrilling notes Of her

fixed her sore paw, which has made her
very irritable for a few weeks. This is the
second operation which Madeline has un-
dergone, the first having been partially
successful. but not enoug h of the injured
paw was cut away to insure complete re-
covery, and it was deemed adv Isable to
put tho animal under the knife once
more. Billy Breckenridge, Madeline's

ago, the operation in his case being emf

The New License Law severely Criti-
ci-ed

The New License Law Severely Criti-
ci~ed
MIsSoULA, Feb. 28.-The new license
law which the legislature has evolved has
been the occasion for some tall kicking
since it was published in the STANDARD
yesterday. Nobody seems to have a good
word for it in this city and there has been
n continual roar over here from all who
are affected by it, and that seems to in-
clude nearly everybody. One business man
said to-day to a STANDARD reporter: II
think that it is a very short sighted move.
If any change is to be made in the law,
the licenses should be reduced instead of
being increased. We want to get new
men into the state with manufacturing
establishments. We cannot do that If we
pile up the licenses on them. We now
have to pay our city, county and state
taxes and now on top of these come the
city and county licenses. Nearly all states
find the taxes enough, without burdening
business men with additional burdens in
the way of licenses. As it is, we are dis
couraging new enterprises instead of
offering them inducements to come to
Montana and engage in business"
Physicians and lawyers, too, seem to
regard the law as an injustice. There
has always been a strong sentiment that
the licensing of professional men is not
right and now that their licenses are
raised in price. there is likely to be q still
more vigorous kick.

Mis.ouia's Fire Department. on a wild

Missoula's Fire DrparI ment on a wild
Coos Chase
MIsSoCLA, Feb ga small fire on the
school section at 8 o'clock this morning
gave the fire department "A wild goose run
and got the wagons and trucks all spat-
tered with mud for nothing. The alarm
came in over the telephone and was made
public by the big bell in the city hall
tower. Chief Mentrum was in the dis
trict court room when the bell began to
ring and laid himself liable to a fine for
contempt of court by his hurried exit
from the dispensary of justice. The de-
partment got out in fine shape and headed
for the school section across the track.
the telephone alarm having located the
blaze in that vicinity. There was no fire
discovered and, after patroling several
blocks in that district the firemen re-
turned and spent the forenoon in clean
ing up the apparatus.
Meanwhile the house occupied by Z. G.
Achilles on the south side OF the track was
in a fair way to be consumed, fire having
started under the roof from a defective
fiue and worked its way through the shin
giles. Joe WIllet, the secretary of the fire
department., was on hand, while his fell
lows were hunting for the fire half a mile
away, and organized a bucket brigade
which succeeded in cxtinguIshing the
blaze before it had done any serious dam
age. Fifty dollars will cover the entire
loss on building and furniture, the latter
being somewhat injured by water.
The confusion in turning in the alarm
is a repetition of the misleading call to
the section house fire last month an
demonstrates forclbly the Importance of
an electro alarm system, such as nearly
all other Montana towns have. There is
much valuable time lost in locating a fire
unless it is in the heart of the city, and
this might be saved if there were a proper
alarm system here. Such a system would
pay for itself in one big fire in the saving
of time which would result from its use.
If the blaze this morning had been in one
of the warehouses near the track it would
have been beyond control before it was
located by the department.
