A Great Enterprise.

Under this title the Orange County
Reporter describes new business in
this state. We fear the proprietOrs
will not realize his expectations.
Twelve pairs of squad to each pair
of old birds per year is more than he
will be likely to get.
Writers on the subject generally put
the number at from six to eight pairs
of squads per year from each pair of
old pigeons.
Mr.. Duncan G. Pell is going into
the raising of squads on a much
more extensive scale than any one
supposed. There arrived Friday
morning by express another twenty
six crate of birds from the Plymouth
Rock Company, of Boston, who have
S1,OOO,O00 invested in the business.
These crates contained 624 mated
pigeons, making something over 1000

Mr.. Pell now has housed. His ranch
has upon it a building 100 feet long,
containing "a separate rooms, 1Ox1O
feet with wired runs or flying spaces
1Ox3O feet attached to each pen, thus
making over all on enclosure 120x90
feet Some slight idea of the extent
this business will soon become may
be gathered from the fact that each
of these 500 pairs of birds will pro-
duce a pair every month or 5000
pairs per year. The first bunch of
squads were brought into the city
Friday morning. They were beau
tiful birds, weighing nearly a pound
each. Packing and shipping will
commence in earnest about February

Scalding the Roosts.

Those who have only a few chickens
and do their own washing, or have
it done OH the place, might find the
following a cheap way of fighting
vermin. 1t is recommended by a cor
respondent of the Poultry Herald.
L have often thought 1 would write
line for the benefit of someone who
might be bothered as badly as 1 have
been in the past with hen mites, but
L have gotten rid of them all at last,
and here is how L did it: Each week
when L did my washing L used the
boiling sudS with which to scald the
rOOStS and walls. In a few weeks
there was not a mite to be SEEN |
still continued the schalding, however
L have not seen a mite this whole
summer.

disease Here is the question and
answer.
CHICKEN POX.


What is the matter with my cocker
ell? He has yellow sores all over his
comb, wattles and head. These are
about the size of pea and are raised
above the surface of the skin. M. II.
Jr., of n. ].
This is chicken pOX, plain and sim
pie. 1t is very contagious and in damp
weather Of fall may be fatal in many
cases. l have seldom known a bird
with chicken pox to get we'll If it
added catarrh to the first disease.
Chicken pOx is usually introduced into
a flock through new birds brought in
from outside. Where neighbOrS are
close the disease is spread by birds Of
different fiOcks getting together Chich-
en- pOX in hens takes about twelve
days to appear after the bird has come
in contact with previous case. There
may be only a single eruption ON the
head, or there may be hundreds of
them. In severe cases the sores run
into each other, making one solid
piece of matter all over the head. Put
all sick birds in one flock. Feed whole
grain and scraps, with plenty of green
food. All birds that show signs Of
rOup or the rOupy condition should be
killed at once. If you have only few
birds sick, and they are worth the
cost and time, you can help with medi-
cine. Get some half grain coated
tablets of calcium sulphide and give
one tablet three times a day to each
bird.

him also in the June number of Reli-
able Poultry Journal. He states that
this has been one of his favOrite theO-
ries for years, and by inference claims
that he is the original source of the
theory. The June number of Poultry
reached us few weeks after the
June Reliable Poultry Journal but we
first noticed it in Poultry and had not
read it in r. p. J. at the time our COM
ment was written, hence we attributed
it solely to DR.. SanbOrn.- Successful
Poultry Journal.
Here are two men, both M. DIS,
trying to steal each Othtrs thunder,
and each Ginning to be the original
source of a theory that has been
known to some pOultrymen for years.
AS far back as 1881 we believe in an
article in the New England Farmer,
then published at Boston the writer
made the statement that grit was not
used to grind the grain of fowls. Some
years later i'll Ohio Poultry Journal
we advanced the same theory, and in
the August 1904 Standard we made
a similar assertion, giving the result
of some experiments showing the
4udHIlIy VI SIlt W ~" 10
on various kinds of feed. Many prom
inent poultrymen have conceded with
our opinion as to the use of grit, while
others have taken exceptions to it.
Theories are advanced and discover
les made, discussed for a time and are
forgotten. Then i'll a few years they
are revived and brought forth in all
their original glory. A striking eX-
ample of this is hopper feeding which
is just now having a boom, when the
writer was a boy that was good
many years ago. my father purchased
several pens of pure bred Cochin fowls
and the fancier who sold them to him
explained the advantages of hopper
feeding and gave Instructions to the
carpenter how to build the feed boxes
The fowls were given wheat only, and
of course did not do well. Then there
came TRADE against hopper feeding,
a mash and litter in which to scatter
the grain was advocated. 1t seems
all theories are on wheel which
keeps revolving; part of the time some
of them are on top and the others out
of sight but the obscure ones soon
rise to the surface again. 1t is a
verificatiOn of the old saw, ''There is
nothing new under the SUM-"

Give The Boys A Chance With
Poultry.

If you are fruit grower, farmer OF
truck grower, in any kind of agri-
cultural business, aside from poultry,
then the following from the Ohio
Farmer may be of interest and value
to you.
If the farmers boys were given a
better show OH the farm and the par
entS would take more pains to inter
est them in farm affairs it would help
wonderfully in solving the farm la
Dor question, which is now staring
farmers in the face, in almost all
parts of the United States. Give him
a good flock of poultry, small in num-
Der to start with, but let them be
good ones such as he will feel proud
of and take an interest in showing to
his friends. Allow him the manage
ment of them, as well as the receipts,
which are very important to him.
Help him in the work of caring prop
erly for them if necessary, so as not
to make the labor tedious from the
start. Hard drudgery discourages
many boys, but little assistance rem
dered them at the right time, so as to
help them along in the business until
there is some income and they will
soon become Interested So as to take
up that and other farm industries on
their own account. For when he be-
comes interested in poultry on the
farm, the chances are he will become
educated to an interest in everything
else.
Even if it is only flock of Bantams
to start with, they are not to be de-
spised if they are small. If you think
they are just try to buy a real nice
pair or trio of show or breeding birds
and learn the prices they are held at
L he income from them in eggs and
meat is small, but the little fellows
will surely interest the boys, when no
other breed would attract them at all.
They require but little room and feed
and do not need a great amount of
care; and if he breeds good stock and
shows it at the fall fairs and wins a
prize or two, he will be pretty apt to
continue and increase in the business.
Then as he goes On he will become in
terested in other varieties and all to-
gether will attract and keep him at
home on the farm.
There is no mistaking the fact that
there has been a general revival in
the poultry business in most sections
of the country during the past six or
eight years, and it is also an undiS-
puted fact that the more general this
interest becomes among the people and

Expert Advice About Chicken Pox.

Expert Advice About Chicken Pox
A correspondent of the Southern
Fancier writes about chicken pox as
follows:
OF all the poultry diseases the fan
cier has to contend with, chicken pOX
i'll its malignant form takes the lead
L have been in the poultry business
for the past twenty-five years, and it
is wonderful to read all the rot and
contradictory theories that are writ
ten Oh this subject. Some go so far
as to claim it is local disease caused
from mosquito bites; others claim it
is dry rOup, etc. While the etiology
of chicken pOX is still ShrOuded III
mystery, there is no doubt of it's mi
crObic origin. There are three dis
tinct stages of the disease, the erup-
tive, that of desiccatiOn, and that of
desquamatiOn. 1t is sometimes dis
crete (mild FORM, when the pustules
rtmain separated from each other, con-
fluent, Tor severe fOrm), when the
puStules unite. This disease is both
contagious and infectious. Symptoms,
a vesiculO-pustula eruption of the
comb, face and wattles, color yellowish
white and becoming pustular as they
develop, ending in a dry scab; when
these ScabS are removed they resem-
bic a bunch of spiles set in the flesh,
and breed freely. In the continent
form the eyes are closed and a yellow
fungus growth forms in the corner
and under the lids Of the eyes. From
the pressure of this fungus growth on
/ nIllll hall
ruptured and destroyed Whenever
we have a case of continent form we
do as George Washington did; we use
the Ratchet. As to the treatment, L
am a great believer in the old saying,
an ounce of prevention is worth all
the cures. This is my treatment-pre-
vention; hence for five years although
my neighbOrs' poultry has had the
dlSeaSe) L have not lost a single case
of chicken pOX, or sore head in my
fOckS. My mode Of prevention is
this: Thoroughly cleanse every
thing in the yards, houses, ETC., and
sprinkle with carbolated water Zone
teaspOOnful of carbOlic acid to the gal
Ion of water); give for drinking water
two teaSpOOnfuls of sulphate of mag
neSia (epSOm salts) to one gallon of
water; place this water '(and no
other before your chickens twice
week during the summer months Use
this treatment, and a case of sOrehead
will be rare occurrence in your yards.
If you have not used this treatment
and should have the disease in your
f1Ocks, a remedy we have used sue
cesSfully is to battle the head of the
fowl in warm water and apply to all
sores coat of pine tar; don't try to
pull off the ScabS, let them drop Off
Many applications have been suggested
but L would advise that in all continent
cases, that is, where the pustules
unite and form a crust over the face
and eyes, | use the Ratchet Chicken
poX does not attack poultry in the
north, but prevails here in the south
during the summer and fall months:
the earlier in the season it starts the
harder it is to stamp out. l have
seen very little or none of the severest
form In poultry that was over two
years old; it appears the younger stock
are much more susceptible to this dis
ease.

American Poultry Advocate, about this

At Tampa, Fla, on Nov. 21st, 1903,
the Florida State Poultry Association
was organized, with DIR. E. Z. Guer-
rant, of Mcintosh, as President; T.
Fred Ward, of Winter Park, vice-presi-
dent; Mrs w. NJ. Miller, of Wauchula,
secretary and treasurer; Geo. l.. Glenn
ems, of Tampa, assistant secretary.
Chas. E. Fifield, Tampa, Geo. l..
Clemens, Tampa, j. b. Williams, Tam
pa the president and secretary audit
ing committee. We have 81 members
to date. The object of this association
is for the advancement and improve
ment of standard bred poultry and pet
stock. We wish to impress it upon
the minds of those who are interested
in poultry that the breeding of pure
bred, or more rightly called, standard
bred poultry is the more profitable.
Be it for the breeding stock or market
purposes, the uniform, plump fowl al
ways commands higher market price
than the mixed stock of all sizes and
color, which are usually very much
understood. Standard bred poultry has
been proven to be very much better
laying than the common fowl. They
are bred to lay and are all-the-year-
round layers. Those who are inter-
ested in poultry even if only few for
home uses will make no mistake if
they invest in a few standard bred
fowls. The association is DESTROYS of
enlisting everyone in Fla, who is in
any way interested in poultry as a
member of this association. We wish
to stimulate the industry all over the
state. We have the grandest climate
in the world for poultry raising and
the poultry, raiSerS should not only
supply the state with poultry and eggs
but should help supply other states
as WELL
Thousands of dollars of poultry and
eggs are shipped into Fla, every year.
we can hatch and rear chicks months
out of the year and should supply
eggs the year round. All we need is
the people to take up the work. The
association will soon get out cata-
lOgue which will be sent out free to
anyone sending cents to cover post
age. All those who are interested in
poultry are requested to join u.s. The
membership fee is $1.0O, annual dues
$1.0O. Please send me one dollar and
become a member.
For Better Poultry and More of It.

appears the following:
At the State Fair in Tampa, Mrs.
w. III. Miller won first prize on White
LeghOrns, second prize on White

The editor of the Poultry Standard
quotes the words of Solomon as the

The truth of the words is well es-

out an abundant supply Of grit.

Of educational work never before attempted here by any

between the champions and team
picked from the st. Paul and Mime
apolis league aggregations is the pro
gram laid down for next fall by John

man and the horsehide magnate are
determined that something more de-
cisive than controversy shall settle the
northwestern championship next fall,
and for this reason have already begun
to lay their plans for tanning fest
of stupendous magnitude, to- be held
at Nicollet park some time after
Sept. 1.
A pennaat and liberal purses will be
hung up to induce teams to enter, so
that there shall be lack of neither coin
nor glory for the nine which is finally
triumphant. The tournament will be
open to ALL, only. league teams are
barred. Special rates on all the rail
roads will serve to bring big crowds
to Minneapolis on this occasion.
Among the teams expected to enter
this contest are the Renville team,
northwestern champions in 1905, the
Watertown team, which holds the 1905
championship Of South Dakota; Chi
