Setting at the Right Time.

After fruit is ripe it does not pay to
keep the trees full. The same may be
claimed for poultry. When bird is
ready for market it should not be kept
day longer. Ducklings, for instance,
will grow very rapidly until ten weeks
old. and may be made to reach five
pounds within that time, but they will
make the next pound slowly, and they
soon reach point where there will be
no gain. The nearer the approach to
the adult stage the slower the increase
in weight, of any animal or bird, and
tie greater the cost of keeping in pro-
portion to gain. This fact points out
that as the winter will soon be here, and
forage scarce the farmer should sell off
every fowl as soon as it arrives at a suf-
fcient stage when it gives the most
profit. There is no advantage in keep
ing lot of fowls into the winter only to
sell them at loss after feeding them
for while. Sell eff everything that is
ready at this time. and thus gain more
room as we'll as lessen expenses.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1896-09-09

purifier, and kills all organic matter in
the water. This fact makes sulphate of
copper good disinfectant, when in So
luton, that will purify the waters in low
places, sinks and the like.
Lime in the poultry yard is another
good thing for hot weather. Get lump
of unslacked lime, lay it on the ground
and pour water on it. 1t will soon
crumble up and furnish nice supply of
granulated lime for the chickens. A
pile of sand and gravel close by is an
other good thing for the fowls. They
need every assistant of the kind to help
them over the heated spells in good
shape.
Extreme heat acts on the hens like
extreme cold. They cannot and should
not be expected to lay to any great ex-
tent while overheated the greater part
the time.
1t takes pleasanttemperature, either
natural or artificial, to obtain the best
result in eggs.-H. B. Geer in Western
Rural.

blood has been freely used, has been sold
for Butt Leghorns. This is not romano
ing, but is solid fact, the writer himself
having received it from breeders in the
district where the Rhode Island he'd is
most bred.
In view of the fact that the Buff Ply
mouth Rock and the Buff Wyandotte
have been admitted to the standard of
the American Poultry Association, and
are now breeding at fixed standard, the
question arises whether there is room
for the Rhode Island Red? Certainly
these two buff, varieties answer all the
requirements for buff fowls with their
characteristics. If the Rhode Island
Red is ever to be recognized as distinct
breed, it must be from the possession of
characteristics which differentiatej 1t
from other breeds. If it's breeders will
breed it away from buff and fix ulon
both males and females clear red
color-not reddish buff but deep,
bright red-they will have fowl differ
ing from any now recognized. The
writer believes this possible to be done.
Years ago he possessed crimson game
fowl-the males and females both being
a dark crimson red, more Or'less broken
with black. They were handsome, but
a blood red fowl would be handsomer,
and that is what the Rhode Island Red
should seek to be if it Is ever to become
recognized as standard fowl.--H. s.
Babcock, in American Agriculturist.

Feeding in Hot Weather.

OF all the hot weather we ever exper-
enced, the last ten days If July and the
first few days of August beat anything
we ever sweltered through. Nashville
was like an oven, day and night. There
was no respite. 1t just kept it up. Not
only was it hot in Nashville, but hot
likewise everywhere else we could hear
of. It was general heated spell that
was wide. spread. 1t affected the fowls

A Business Which Remains.

Financial depression and "panics"
seldom affect the fresh egg business. 1t
is possible that when general trade is
dull the egg market is also affected, but
not for strictly fresh eggs. 1t seems
