afoat, until California has become one
Of the largest poultry producing
states of the country, and San Fran
cisco and the Pacific Coast are being
supplied with the finest quality OF
fresh-laid eggs and poultry of all kinds
produced at home-a supply which
formerly came from east of the Rocky
Mountains.
We note this for the benefit OF the
states lying south OF the above men
toned line. If the people in these
districts, individually, locally and ma
tionally, would tnke hold of the up
building OF the poultry interest, OF the
growing OF all kinds Of land and water
fowl for market and the producing OF
fresh-laid eggs in winter, il would not
be many years before the fields OF the
South would bloom again as in the
olden days when cotton was king, and
when the planter of these districts
rolled in wealth enjoying the distin-
guished attitude of being envied by
all mankind.
The modus operandl to be pursued
in connection with the poultry in
dustry is extremely simple, and the
only wonder is that it is not more
generally carried out 1t appears,
however, to need the energetic work
NJ one or two men in each community
10 demonstrate to the surrounding
farmers the advantage and profit in
employing up-to-date methods. The
barnyard flock can within n short
time and at n very small expense, be
bred up from an average OF 60 or 20
eggs n year to production of 10 or
$50 eggs per hen, constituting the dif-
ference between loss and hand
some profit from the flock. All it Is
necessary to do is to decide upon some
suitable breed OF fowl and infuse new
blood into the flock each year by the i'm
portation of a reasonably well-bred cock.
By this means not only can egg produc-
ton be increased but, if n general purpose
breed ia selected, great average In
crease in the weight of the fowls Will
be absolutely assured.
In connection with this. nothing
could be more profitable to handle
than the growing of fruits and market
stuff throughout the entire South.
Two other features of great value
might easily be added; that Is, culti-
waiting squads for market and keep
ing bees for the production of honey
and bces-wax. In the local market
hees-wax Eclls now for almost 40
cents a pound. In the southern or
warmer climates where winter feeding
would not be OF long duration, the
cultivation of bees for bees-waX alone
would become a profitable vocation.
even il the extracted Ioney were dis
tributed among the neighbors as n
gratuitous compliment from the grow
ers of the bees. But the bees must
be compelled to build their own
honey-combs. to facilitate which. as
well as to have a larger product OF
becs-wax, the boxes for receiving the
honey should be so constructed as to
influence the formation Of a large
amount of honey-comb or bees-waI in
preference to honey.
II these matters were earnestly
taken hold of by the agricultural de-
partments In every Southern State

this country can be found about the
same climate as is prevalent along
the Pacific coast south from San Fran
cisco. The State of California, the
people of California and the agricul-
tural interests of California began a
number of years ago a determined ef-
fort to colonize that section Of the
world with poultry growers. No
stone was left unturned to make this
effort successful; the railroads, the
state statisticians, the agricultural

percentage of fertile eggs observed for
nine days after mating. This in
creased regularly from o on the day
of mating to 95 per cent. on the eighth
day after mating. The fertility of the
eggs was apparently not materially af-
fected until the twelfth day after re-
moving the roosters. This point was
also studied at the Ontario Agricul-
tural College and Experimental Farm.

Use of Nitrogen bacteria Limited

The extravagant and misleading
claims made by many of the circulars
advertising those widely heralded bac'
terra for inoculating barren soil, which
were to revolutionize agriculture, have
led the United States Department OF
Agriculture to Issue a warning to the
farmers. In the first place the inocu-
lation is very limited in application
If the ground is already naturally in
fected with these nitrifying germs, any
further addition of the artificial pro-
luct is useless. They in no sense re-
place the usual forms of fertilizer; If
the ground is barren, no benefit can be
expected to result. from its mere inocu-
lation with bacteria; phosphates, pot
ash, lime or other plant food must be
added along with the nitrogen-fxing
microbes. In a soil already rich in
nitrogen the bacteria do little good.
Furthermore, many of the bacteria
now on the market are of no value
whatever. OF nineteen samples bought
in the open market and examined by
the Bureau of Plant Industry one was
pronounced very good" five others
good" and most of the remainder
poor" and eight worthless"

he replied, from the day they are
born until 1 sell them.'
And this is to a great extent the
secret of success in stock growing.
The best farmers are the best stock
raisers; and this is n branch of farm
ing that always wins in the long run.
II you can raise all the rough feed
and grain that your stock need, do
so, by all means. but don't neglect the
stock to do this. Better buy of some
less fortunate neighbor who has more
feed than stock. There are other
things beside feed, too. Have you
seen cattle and horses bumped and
shivering, day after day, through the
worst part of the winter? Do you
think that those animals were COM

dition and imagine how you would like
It, 1t is difficult to see how some men
can crawl into n warm bed at night
and sleep soundly until morning,
while their live stock stand half frozen
and perhaps haH-fcd all night. Such
4 mans feelings must be pretty well
blunted. 1t doesn't pay in dollars and
cents, either. Now, it doesn't cost
much to fix up comfortable shelter
for stock, when old hay and straw
can be had almost for nothing. When
a man let's his stock suffer from the
cold, it Is a clear case of shiftlessness.
But every year there are fewer and
