The THANKSGIVING proclamation OF
Governor Clarke. Of Arkansas, is de-
cldedly unique. He first calls upon the
people Of his State to give thanks for
general good health and for measure
Of social and material prosperity that IL
has not been within the power of man
to entirely destroy by unwise policies
and laws. Next he recognizes that the
people have been provided for in abund-
ance from Gods storehouses, and adds
that their only cause OF complaint is TO
be found in such things as the misguided
action Of their fellOw-ctizens OF other
sections has imposed upon them. Then,
after quoting from the old hymn the
words, Every prospect pleases. and only
man is vile" he urges persistence "in
the task of making those now cropping
in the darkness of selishness and error
know the right. and. knowing, dare TO
maintain IT," Certainly Governor Clarke's
proclamation bids fair 70 take a place

details of farm management and the
care of animals, they are lacking in the
knowledge so essential to success with
poultry, especially when they desire
to venture on the keeping of poul-
try in large numbers. Without any
real experience in that direction,
though accustomed to having hens in
the barnyards from boyhood, they make
many failures that might otherwise be
avoided with the possession of knowl-
edge in the matter of poultry raising.
Failures occur from attempting too
much without experience. There are
essential details necessary that can only
be properly performed by those who are
experienced, and the first steps should
therefore be gradual. The farmer
should learn something of the breeds
and their uses. He should know the
breeds that suit his climate best. The
best laying breed may prove miserable
failure unless it is surrounded by con-
ditions favorable for success. 1t is diff
cult to teach the farmer that the COM
mon barnyard stock is not as good as
any other. That stumbling block he
willEnot remove, and it is dangerous,
for as long as the farmer clings to old
traditions and adheres to former customs,
he will fail to recognize the Importance
of Improvement in other didirections.
Better houses, better breeds, systematic
feeding, cleanliness and careful selection
OF breeding stock are essential, and If
neglected results in failure.-Poultry

Chicken Cholera.

One of the latest cures for chicken
cholera is byposulphite of soda, gwen in
doses Of half level teaspoonful of the
crystals in as much water as will dissolve
it. We hope our friends will give the
remedy trial, as it is highly recon-
mended, and we should be glad to hear
from all who use it, Hyposulphite of
soda should not be COMPOUNDED with sui
phite of soda. Sulphite of soda is the
union of sulphurous acid and soda. Sui
phuric acid IS oil of vitriol and is distinct
from suIphurous acid which contains
less oxygen.
Hyposulphurous acid is made by dis
solving pure sulphur in solution OF sui
phite of soda, the first containing twice
as much as the latter. Pure sulphur
will not dissolve IN water, but will dis
solve in solution of sulphite Of soda or
carbon bisulphide. Sulphur fumes will
instantly destroy the germs of all conta-
gious diseases, and we believe that it is
by the breaking up of the hYposulphite
of soda IN the system that the sulphur
Gus acid, sulphur and soda, kills the dis
ease. We certainly feel gratified to hear
of cure, but will feel more assured if
we can hear of good results from our
readers who may be pursuaded to try
the remedy.-Prairic Farmer.

Bee Culture in West Florida.

There is more intelligent bee culture
in western Florida than in nearly every
other section Of the country that has
such small areas suitable for il, as q rule
malarious being on the borders of the
swamp, the high pine lands having few
flowers that yield honey in sufficient
quantity to be profitable. The palmetto
is an excellent honey yielding plant, but
the practice of burning off the woods in
the early spring by the cattlemen pre-
vents honey being taken from it. In
this section of western Florida, border
ing the great swamps on the Apalachi-
cola river and the Dead lakes, there are
over six thous md colonies of bees in
Langstroth hives, one firm alone having
1,4OO colonies. This firm shipped in
1884 forty-seven tons of honey. The
drawback to this section for beekeeping
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1896-08-12

is that when the rainy season sets in
early in June, and often continues until
the middle of August, our honey flow
ceases at the commencement of that
season, and with the exception of one
single species of flower, which blooms
in August and September, ends the flow
for the year, and as consequence
brood-rearing ends, bees die out and to
stimulate the queens to lay, feeding
artificial pollen has nearly always to be
resorted to in August. Calhoun county
claims to be the banner beekeeping
county in western Florida. The finest
locations in western Florida are, think
to be found in Liberty county, from
Bristol to Fort Gadsen.-E. B. M. in

Failures and Their Causes.

1t is strange fact that farmers know
less IN regard to the management of
poultry than should be the case, aud the
reason is that while they have given
their attention to other farm stock, they
have not looked as deeply into those
matters that pertain to poultry as
business. The raising Of poultry has
not been considered business at all,
but simply an adjunct or ,astime, the
consequence being that while the farmer
gives his attention to larger stock and
learns daily how to manage with greater
success, he has allowed his hens to man.
age themselves The sick horse OR cow
is a source of anxiety to the farmer, be-
cause he has in the animal perhaps
hundred or more dollars invested, and
veterinary skill or the experience of the
farmer will be used to its fullest capac-
ity in order to avoid loss. Infectious di-
seases are guarded against, and due pre-
caution Is taken against loss.
Farmers are learning that there is
profit to be derived from the small
things on the farm, and that the capital
invested in poultry, though not usually
great, is sure to bring in return, and
they are turning their attention IN tnat
direction, having the advantage OF
ready sales at all seasons and home mar
kets; but the long neglect Of years places
them at disadvantage, as they lind

Poultry Notes.

Vermin are the outgrowth of filthy
surroundings.
A we'll hen, if not too fat, is full of
life. Sick hens NOPE.
Neither poultry nor babies can stand
filth and keep in health.
When the bird begins to wheeze, you
have case Of roup on hand.
Use plenty of dry earth or sifted coal
ashes in the hen house and coops.
The way some people refuse to use
whitewash in the poultry house would
indicate that it was expensive.
With sickness among the poultry find
the cause and remove it, and medicine
may be unnecessary.
A poultryman says that after ten years
of feeding everything he has learned
that the basis of vigor in poultry is green
food.
Difficulty in swallowing on the part OF
young poultry, especially ducks, is said
to indicate large gray lice in the neck.
When the nests are where the dog can
run before and around them, either the
dog, the nests or the laying hens are
out of place. Laying hens need to be
kept quiet.
Thousands upon thousands of ducks
are raised every year without more
water than is necessary for their driak.
Young ducks are less liable to disease
when raised in warm, dry quarters than
when allowed to run at large and spend
much of their time in the water. A
good way is to set the eggs under hens
Hens one to three years old are the
best breeders. The eggs of pullets are
often infertile under the most favorable
conditions.
1t may not be generally known that all
kinds of feathers are salable. The de-
mand is increasing, and most country
merchants will take them and sell them
upon commission. The fowls must be
picked dry, and the feathers kept clean
and in good condition. Keep separate
the coarser ones, as well as those of diff
ferent kinds of fowls.
