White Wyandottes.

1t is probably a fact that no variety
of fowls has SO quickly and so conn
pletely taken captive the heart of the
practical poultry keepers as have the
white Wyandottes. They are en-
croaching upon the popularity of the
barred Plymouth Rock, which for a
decade has been the most popular
breed of poultry, by far, in the list.
The reason for the high estimation in
which the Wyandotte is held is not far
to see. In the first place, it has a
splendid market form and is, more
over, most excellent layer. The fowls
are quiet and the hens make excellent
mothers-in fact they cannot be ex-
celled in this respect. When wanted
for market, the Wyandotte is always
plump and fat, and this is a condition,
too, that is true of them at almost any
time after they are ten weeks old.
Another point in favor of the Wyan-
dotte is it's quick maturity. It can be
got to laying in five months after
Matching, almost as soon as the Leg
horn, which has hitherto set the pace
for early laying. The Wyandotte is a
more quiet fowl than the Plymouth
Rock, and can for this reason more
easily be kept within bounds. This is
undoubtedly due to the greater pre-
ponderance in the Wyandotte of
Brahma and Cochin blood.
All varieties of Wyandottes are of
great practical worth, but the white
variety is accepted everywhere as
being the practical fowl par excel
lence 1t is being adopted by the
great market poultrymen more uni
versally than any other fowl. It's
white plumage makes it dress off in
very handsome shape, while it's dress
ed shape is almost ideal for market
purposes.-American Agriculturist

Poultry in Florida.

We are in receipt of many letters
inquiring if poultry can be raised
here. In reply we will say that Flor
ida has the advantages of a warm eli
mate, fowls can forage the year round,
requiring very little food. We con-
slider our orchard the best place for
the fowls as they will keep the trees
to a great extent free from numerous
insects that would otherwise cause
great loss.
Houses should have tight roof and
sides, except the south side where we
would have wire or strips.
Eggs sell the year round for 10 cents
per dozen, but good trade could be
worked up in the cities, where fresh
eggs would command from Is to 20
cents per dozen.
In selecting breeds we prefer the
Minorcas, Leghorns and Plymouth
Rocks are the most sutiab BILE to this eli

Burning Sulphur.

When sulphur is burned in a dry at
mosphere THE vapor combines with the
oxygen of the air and forms sui phur-
Gus oxide, substance which will de-
stroy, by contact, bacteria and all
animal life that breathes, but has no
effect upon microbes or animal life
that does not depend for life upon the
breathing of air. From this it is
claimed that dry sulphur vapor will
kill lice and bacteria, but will not de-
stroy the eggs of lice or the microbes
or germs of disease. Supply moisture
to the sulphur vapor and sulphurous
acid is formed, which is destructive to
all forms of animal and vegetable life
with which it comes in contact. For
the practical application of sulphur
fumes it would be well to first steam
or well spray the poultry house, there
by supplying moisture, and then burn
the sulphur, and all the lice, their
eggs and diseased germs will be de-
stroyed.-Ex.

gishness in the yards, and more fertil-
ity in the eggs. There are still people
in this enlightened age who stuff
their chickens, both old and young.
Now corn is useful in the poultry
kitchen, but not as regular diet. If
you want to fatten poultry or warm
them in cold snap weather in winter,
or when a hen is poor and ion that &C
count not laying, and needs a little
help, ETC., corn is just the thing, and
the yellower the better, but as a gen.
eral diet it is about as bad thing as
you can give, especially when fowls
are conined.-Mirror and Farmer.

Fowls in Confinement.

Overlooking and lice are the two
causes of most disasters to poultry,
and, as neither of them are diseases,
poultrymen are to blame for all the
many consequences that follow upon
their heels. Poultry in confinement
must be fed differently from those
which have free run of grass Or wood
land, in which latter they revel, hunt
ing all over the leaves, and scratching
away, around and under old logs for
their favorite g'rubs and bugs. If you
your hens and chicks carefully you do
not realize what a large amount of
grass and green food they will eat in a
day, when it lis at hand, and when
they have not been overfed with grain
or scraps. And this is not all, as hens
need rough food or something that
gives bulk as we'll as nutriment. Even
though you feed the confined birds
the same identical food they obtained
for themselves on a good run it would
not be the same, as they would still
lack the exercise so necessary for
their hetlth, and therefore, in confne-
ment, the same food would be too
much for them. This is why success
full raisers of poultry in confinement
always throw the grain to their fowls
in straw, thus compelling them to
work for it. Also, hanging a cabbage
head just out of standing reach, SO
that they must jump for every pick at
it. This is a good system, and exer-
else is necessary for their health, but
if the food was composed more of
heterogeneous elements and less of the
carbonaceous Especially of the oils
and fats), their would not be so much
necessity for this constant training
down process, less overfat hens which
stop laying and want to sit, less slug

most anywhere if given their liberty.
They are nervous, restless fowl
and do their best when given their
freedom to roam as they will over a
large field, pasture or wood lot. If
provided the means through which
which they can secure necessary ex-
ercise, and fed variety of feed, they
will do almost as well ON a city lot as
on the farm. AS a general rule, Leg
horn eggs hatch well. The chicks are
hardy, easily raised, grow and feather
so rapidly that they are soon out of
danger and able to shift for them
selves. The pullets will begin to lay
at five to six months of age where
favorable conditions exist; and cock
erels begin Growing when six to eight
weeks old. Every feature connected
with the Leghorn is attractive and
pleasing, being both pretty to look
upon as well as profitable.
The genuine brown Leghorn is a
stylish fowl, with richly colored
plumage The combs are large in size
with usually five or six points. Ear
lobes large and white in color. Beak
and legs brown or horn color. The
cock is what is known as black red
in color-that is, the breast and tail is
black; neck, back and saddle feathers
red; while the wings are several
shades of black, red and tan.
The hen is of a peculiar greenish
brown color on back, wings and tail,
and deep salmon color on breast.
The color of both cock and hen is
particularly favorable as it is not
easily soiled, and always looks neat
and clean.
In breeding this variety, particular
attention should be paid toward Sc
Letting only vigorous, active and pro-
lift specimens for breeding. Next to
this should come perfection in comb,
color and other standard points,

The Brown Leghorn.

This famous breed of everlasting
layers is one of the most popular va
rieties of pure bred fowls in America.
Being natives of a warm climate they
are especially adapted to the Southern
States, and our people were not long
in finding this out, for traces of Leg
horn blood can now be found in most
any locality.
All varieties of the Leghorn are es-
sentially non-sitters, for though an
occasional specimen will become
broody, it is seldom that the incubat-
ing fever is sufficiently strong to ena-
BILE them to keep the nest and hatch
brood of chicks.
They are the accepted standard as
egg producers, and where eggs and
plenty of them are wanted, we can
safely recommend the Leghorn. Their
eggs are of medium size and usually
white in color. In size of body the
Leghorn is small to medium, being
bred mostly for prolificness and early
maturity. Size of body counts for lit
tie with them, for when sent to mar
let at the end of the year they have
already paid for their keep several
times in eggs.
For crossing upon common hens,
Plymouth Rocks or other pure bred
stock, we do not know their equal for
increasing both egg production and
early offspring. Experience has taught
us that in poultry raising on the farm,
eggs and early maturity is where the
profits lie, and there is no breed OF
poultry that excel the Leghorn in this
respect. They are also hardy fowl,
very active, sure to live and thrive
