Warm VS.. Cold Houses.

An experiment station has been
testing the difference in the egg pro-
duction in winter of hens in warm
houses and those in cold houses. The
houses we're exactly alike, built of
matched boards, with single roof, but
one was sheathed on the inside and
covered with paper. In each were
placed twelve pullets, the focks be-
ing as muchc alike as could be Sc
lected, and they were fed alike, hav-
ing a morning mash of corn meal,
middlings and ground oats, and at
night whole grain scattered in the
litter. Fresh water, grit. and bone
and granulated bone were placed
where they could always get them
as they wished. The test began No
vember oath and was continued five
months, and resulted as follows:
Warm house, first month, 81 eggs,
second $50 eggs, third 1873 eggs,
fourth 12O eggs, fifth 154 eggs; cold
house, first month 80 eggs, second
1O6 eggs, third 1O3 eggs, fourth 124
eggs, fifth ia eggs. Totals-warm
house 629 eggs, cold house 496 eggs
a gain of 1873 eggs. Eleven dozen
eggs increase at winter prices would
well repay the cost of sheathing and
papering a house large enough for
twelve hens.

and when the next season the low
prices prevail he is not so badly hurt
as others. And the next season when
the discouraged planters are drop
ping that crop he comes up smiling
with his usual acreage and gets good
prices. And at the same time he is
practicing a regular rotation and
not depending entirely on the special
crop. If we could but get all the
farmers, whether wheat farmers,
corn farmers, cotton farmers or to-
bacco farmers, to farm systematical-
ly for their speciality, and never
make it a sole crop, the variations in
the market would have less effect on
them. 1t is the men who habitually
put all their eggs in one basket who
get hurt when the basket falls. The
sole cure for these variations is sys-
tematic farming. - Philadelphia

THE EVOLUTION OF THE CHICKEN.

THE EVOLUTION OF THE CHICKEN.
The President of the Poultry Associa-
ton Compares Aristocratic and PIebe-
ian Fowls.
In an interview with an Observer
reporter last week, Mr. B. S. Davis,
president OF the Charlotte Poultry
Association, said:
"The Charlotte Poultry Associa-
ton has ended it's sixth annual ex-
hibition. This Association is now
the oldest in the South, and it grows
stronger every year, When it began
holding shows six years ago there
we're no thoroughbred stock or fan
ciers in Mecklenburg County. To-
day there are in Charlotte and Neck
lenburg County over 500 breeders of
thoroughbred birds and the county
sells over 100000 worth of eggs
alone.
"Ten years ago a chicken was a
chicken and sold for 25 cents; now
we look through the market for a
nice juicy hen and always select the
largest one. This means a great
deal to the poultry raiser, as an
eight-pound hen can be raised just
as easily as the common three-pound
scrub. Take for instance a 40-pound
bronze turkey gobbler; place him be-
side the ordinary 1O-pound one, and
note the difference. Then look at a
Toulouse goose and a common one;
a 1O-pound Pekin duck and the little
puddle duck, the Plymouth Rock or
Wyandotte hen with her common sis
ter; the Leghorn, and Minorea,
which average 200 eggs yearly, by
the side of our ordinary Is eggs pro-
ducers. Then compare a dozen eggs
laid by any of these fine birds with
the mixed colors and shapes of the
country eggs. Does not this appeal
as we'll to the consumer as the pro-
Queer? It should, and by encourage
ing the breeding of good birds one
is doing his duty, not only to him
self, but to his fellowman."

The Cattle Quarantine in North Caro-
lima.

The following Associated Press
dispatch was published in The Pro-
gressive Farmer of January 9Th:
"The Secretary of Agriculture has
issued the annual orders quarantine
ing against a number of Southern
and Western States on account of
the Southern or Texas fever. The
quarantine against Texas and Okla
homa is made a month earlier this
year taking effect January 1st, but
it is not operative against the other
States until February 1st. Except
in this respect the provisions of the
order are identical with that in pre-
vious years. The prescribed terri
tory includes Arkansas, Tennessee,
Virginia and all States south of
them"
We were, of course, aware of the
fact that much of Western North
Carolina is exempted, but it is well
enough to keep history straight as
we go along. Speaking of the dis
patch State Veterinarian Butler
says in the News and Observer:
81 wish to call your attention to
the fact that this is erroneous in so
far as it applies to North Carolina.
The efforts of the State Depart
ment of Agriculture to exterminate
the cattle tick and increase the ter
ritory in this State exempted from
the operations of this cattle quaran-
tine have been so far successful that
this year all of Caldwell County and
that part of Burke County north of
the Catawba River, have been added
to the portion of the State previous
ly exempted.
"The portion of North Carolina
exempted from the operation of the
Federal cattle quarantine against
Texas fever for 1908, consists of the
counties of Cherokee, Clay, Macon,
Jackson, Pennsylvania, Henderson,
Buncombe, Caldwell Watauga, Ashe,
Allegheny, Mitchell, Yancey, Madi-
son, Haywood, Swain, Graham and
that part of Burke north of the Ca
tawba River. It is important hat
the people of the State be correctly
informed in regard to this quaran-
tine line and I hope you will make
tins correction"
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1903-01-27

vocating organization as a good
thing for the farmers and the only
medium through which permanent
relief may be assured; on the other
hand, insisting that in any and all
steps taken in the direction or organ
ization, there should not be any at
tempt or threats or any intimations
of any discrimination against any
buyer whatsoever, independent or
trust. There should be no attempt
in the least towards boycotting any
firm or brands of tobacco of either
independents or trust, but feed all
out of one spoon, treating all alike,
raising the impartial banner: Gus
tice to All" and the aims Of the or
~ganization solely for the benefit of
the farmer.
The organization should have for
it's object to control the output of
crops, and to control and sell
through a compact organization all
the farmers tobacco in certain parts
of Virginia, North and South Caro-
lima and Tennessee. I do not think
hat an organization could do any
possible good unless it did control
the output of tobacco and the selling
of the same.
I do think that a plan through
which to sell could be established
have given it some study and see nc
good reason why it could not be done
without prejudice to the trade.
Of course, the farmer would want
a profit on his labor. Prices of the
last crop could easily establish that
The manufacturers of the country
on seeing an organization facing
them, I am sure, would not object to
paying living prices and would sim
ply add three to five cents advance
on to the consumer, and would doubt
less be glad to see the farmer in
shape to control the output of the
crop and also demand a moderate
profit on his labor. I know all fair
minded men would not object to it
in the least.
The section proposed to organize
is not too large. The Alliance and
