think adapted to your purpose. The
same rule will apply to selecting breed
of fowls. Select the breed that suits
your locality, climate, the place you are
to keep them in and for what purpose.
The same old chestnut-if you want
eggs get some of the non-sitting breeds,
Leghorns or Minorcas; and if you live
in cold climate and are subject to
heavy freezes, get a variety with rose
combs, and you will not be troubled
with frost bitten combs which is big
thing when you want your fowls always
in the best condition, and if raising
fowls for market be your aim, get White
Wvandottes, Plymouth Rocks Or cross
the Indian Game with some of the Amer
lean breeds and you will have good
table fowl. Better keep them pure if
you can. II you have still higher de-
sire, breeding for the show room and
having high scoring birds to honor your
yards, you have a still greater field to
select frcm-every shape, size, color and
style you like. from the stately Brahraa,
to the proud little Bantam. If you have
decided to keep poultry and are unde
cided as to what breed or variety you
will keep, why find out what you want
them for and under what conditions they
are to be kept. Then make your selec-
ton accordingly.-Ex.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1896-04-22
Poultry Pointers.

Warmer weather isapproaching, there
tore it will not pay to relax the warfare
against insect pests. Lice will multiply
very rapidly if left to themselves. Ker-
osene oil must be used very freely, tax
ing pains to saturate all portions of the
rOosts.
Autumn leaves are most useful to the
poultryman in the fall and winter, and
he cannot gather and store too many of
them in a dry place. They should be
used to cover the floor of the poultry
house, SO as to make warm carpet for
the fowls feet, and TO afford medium
in which the hens delight to scratch for
their feed. Leaves are excellent for alb
sorbing poisonous gases and dampness,
and when broken to fine bits, they give
us splendid manure.
Dry earth is another essential OF every
poultry breeders outfit. 1t must be had

Double Yolk Eggs.

When double-yolk eggs are found
among those collected it is considered
cause for congratulation, the hens be-
ing supposed to have performed extra
work. But the fact is, double-yolk eggs
indicate that the hens are too fat. The
eggs are really abnormal, and it will be
but a short time before the hens will
cease laying; hence, while few extra
large eggs may be obtained for short
time, the result will be none at all later
on. AS soon as the hens begin to lay
double-yolk eggs shut off the grain and

more favorable conditions for laying

Surely every farmer can grade his stock
to a much higher level.
One cannot reasonably expect eggs

holes and cracks, to the great discomfort
of the poultry stock. A warm house
must be obtained. Papering, shingling

Entero-hapatitis in Turkeys.

The United States bureau of animal
industry has issued a bulletin on the
direct transmission of infectious entero-
hapatitis in turkeys. The common
name for the disease is "black head"
Prior to 1894 the disease was unknown,
and attention was first attracted to it by
the Rhode Island experiment station.
1t is as yet unknown in the southern
states. The disease affects the liver, and
is transmitted from one bird to another,
and usually attacks young turkeys more
than the adults. While the disease may
not occur on new ground, upon which
turkeys have not before been kept, yet
the fact that turkeys are disposed to
wande" and range over large area may
account for the spread OF the disease to
neighboring focks. Where the disease
makes it's appearance remedies are OF no
avail. The first duty is to prevent it's
spreading by disinfection. For this pur-
pose half gallon each of crude carbolic
acid and crude sulphuric acid are mixed
in tugs or glass vessels, the sulphuric
acid being added slowly to the carbolic
acid. with the usual precautions against
injury, to which is then added twenty
gallons of water This sprinkled or
sprayed wherever the turkeys may have
been located, in order to destroy the germs
of disease, or where they are liable to be.
The main point is to be careful not to
bring any turkeys from localities where
the disease is known to exist, and neigh
bors should combine in the matter. II
this is done there will be no danger.
New England farmers must be very
careful, as the disease has already SO.
cured a stand. New blood should be
procured from a distance, and inbreed-
ing must be avoided, in order to have
the focks vigorous and strong. Much
credit is due the Rhode Island station
for the prompt manner in which it aimed
to investigate the disease and prevent
it's spread.

"Well, you know he was married dur

couple of hens, and in time hal two

Improvement and cultivation of fine

Fine breeds of pure poultry should
be on every farm in the country.
The fruit grower and the deiryman
should have them. The business man
and the mechanic should not be without
them. Nearly every man that we meet
Is willing to admit that pure blooded
horses, improved sheep, thoroughbred
cattle and fine hogs are more desirable
and profitable than comm IN stock. The
same fact ought to apply to pure bred

healthy in appearance is an ornament to

''But it has often been claimed that
the prices of chickens and eggs are to
high too start with. This is mistake.
Invest $5 or $40 in eggs and with a rea-
sonable hatch and success in raising
you have enough to start with in years
time. Or put $15 or 500 in fowls and
you are already started. The poultry
business in this respect is like no other
business. A farmer will pay $50 or $40
an acre for good choice land; he culti-
Yates it and soon gets his money back
with a handsome profit. His friend
buys poor land at one tenth that price
and never gets anything out OF it. It is
therefore wise and business like to buy
none but the best. When you do this in the
poultry line you will have fowls, healthy
vigorous, and beautiful. Your neigh
Dor will see them and want them. Then
your profits will begin to come in and
before you are hardly aware of it you
will be an enthusiast for fine and pure
