An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIe SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles Of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
4. dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub.
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process OF manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to tho
taste, but the medicinal qualities Of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIe SYRUP
Co. only. In order TO get its beneficial
effects and TO avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company

What Breeds?

In these days when everybody
S'speaks out in meetin'" I want to
make my curt'sey and have my say.
See?
The pros and cons of the poultry
question, as represented in journals,
are so varied, that one gets fairly be-
wildered, and then finally decides on
one breed that fails altogether in our
expectations.
The Leghorns, we are told, are the
most prolific layers, but we find that
they do not make much of an impress
sion on the dinner table, neither do
they give us eggs in winter, when we
want them most for Thanksgiving GUS
tards, Christmas egg-nogs, New Years
good-resolution buildings, or Washing
ton birthday cakes; in fact, they bare
ly redeem their American patriotism
by giving us eggs on the fourth of
July. Now the Langshans are win
ter layers, so if you want eggs the year
around, keep both these breeds or try
by crossing the two to improve their
individual qualities.
Now you may prefer something that
grows off quickly, and soon fits the din
ner pot or the roasting pan; if so, get
the Plymouth Rocks.
But again, this breed gives only
quantity, and not the quality demand
ed by epicures; to meet this want you
will have to get the Indian Games.
Another thing. The old saying that
Eggs is eggs" is now obsolete. An
egg as big as those we may expect
from a partridge is a different affair
from the large, respectable looking
ones with which the Minorcas favor

Plymouth Rocks.

III. Il, Geer, in Farm and Ranch,
writes as follows, in reference to what
causes the popularity of the Barred
Plymouth Rock:
bone and sinew as any other breed
and great deal more meat in proper
ton to bone and sinew than a great
many other breeds possess.
2. The way in which the young
chickens grow, taking On flesh, and
when fed up, fat too, as fast as any
other breed, and great deal faster
than many other breeds, the young
chickens reaching the eatable size in
eight to ten weeks from the shell.
3. Yellow legs and skin. Some peo-
pie say this feature don't count for
much, but the majority of the people
say it does, and a majority is a ma
jority in this country.
4. Smooth shanks and toes Some
people say feather shanked chickens
are as good for the table as the
smoOthest legged chickens on earth,
and we don't doubt it, for that part
is usually cut off and thrown away. 1t
lis at our house anyway, but the YER
dict of the people is for a smooth
shanked chicken for the market, and,
again, the people re the people.
5. Plymouth Rock hens are very
good layers, perhaps not the best, but
good enough, and they are splendid sit
ters and mothers.
These are some of the reasons why
the Plymouth Rocks are SO very popu-
lar all over the country.
Our readers can hardly go amiss in
introducing any of the Plymouth Rock
family.

To Rid the Poultry House of Lice.
Lice are the cause of the loss of
more chickens than all other causes
put together. They are easy to get rid
of, but you have to keep at them if
you wish your chickens to be free
from them, especially during the sum-
mer months. One good way to destroy
them is to clean the house thoroughly,
burning all the straw from the nests.
Put in the center Of the house an iron
vessel Of some kind with q pound of
roll birthstone in it. Drive all the
fowls out, close the house as tight as
possible. Heat piece Of old iron red
hot and put in the pot with the brim-
stone. Keep the house closed about
two hours, then open and ventilate.
Sweep and dust the house thoroughly
Dissolve a pound Of potash i'm a quart
of hot water and with an old brush
wash every part of the house, inside
and out, roosts, nests and every place
that can be reached. Then paint the
roosts, we'll with kerosene. If you do a
inside of the house, nests, boxes and
good job there will not be any lice left.

Poultry Notes.

A poultry man tells the Ruralist that
the velvet bean, so difficult to shell,
makes an admirable poultry feed when
ground up in the pods. Any hand or
other mill for grinding corn is SUITABLE
The manure from ground beans and
pods is very rich, either from cattle,
hogs, sheep or poultry.
Other poultry raisers tell the Rural
ist that a patch of cowpeas near the
house makes an admirable cover for
chicks from the heat of the southern
sun, a protection from chicken hawks,
while chickens will grow and fatten
on the leaves, vines and seed, furnish
ing food from the time they first come
up to full maturity.

us. So if you want eggs that are eggs,
get Minorca hens.
At last it all comes to this: Decide
just what it is you demand from your
poultry yard, and then breed accord
ingly. 1t is useless to think you can
get one breed that will combine all the
best qualities, with none of those less
desirable. May as we'll try to extract
splinters, cure toothache, headache,
collie, sprains, measles, small pox and
broken limbs out of the same bottle of
medicine. You cannot do it. Cabbage,
turnip, radish and mustard seed look
very much alike, yet you would not
sow mustard and expect to reap a tur-
nip crop.
A little trick 1 like, when 1 want to
raise a few late chickens, is to set the
hens about three weeks before moult
ing time commences, then the hens
will be running with chicks, getting
well fed, and when they are ready to
wean them, will be through moulting
and ready to get down to their winters
work, with no time lost.
During the fifteen years have been
living on the coast, have had no jig
gers, mites or lice among my flock
moreover, 1 have brought hens that
were covered with vermin to my poul-
try yard, and in few days they were
free from all these pests. l use no
washes or remedies of any kind; would
not the natural inference be that the
salt air or the brackish water the hens
drink, acts as a preventive to the
breeding of this vermin? And if So
cannot salt be applied in other sections?
Now do not, all of you, rush and give
your poultry an overdose of salt. Once
[ had some water in which salt pork
had been boiled. Into this I stirred
corn meal, and then fed it to my lit
tie chicks. Result: Thirty-five of
them died in less than an hour after.
One more item. When you dress
chickens for cooking, save the lining
of the gizzard. If then other chickens
get sick, moping around, yet eating
ravenously, cut up these Innings and
make the sick ones eat it. This will
cure them if they have indigestion.
Try it.
[ have had ever so many disappoint-
ments in experimenting with poultry,
but if these few items will be Of profit
to others, l will mix smile with my
signs, knowing that:
evil was done that good may come
of it.''-M. M. Stratner, in Ruralist.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1899-05-10

1t is some work, but it will pay. Put
fresh straw in the nests, and your
house is ready to let the hens in. If
the fowls have any lice on them they
will soon leave, and they can be seen
crawling around, but their lives will
be short.
