few words i'm this paper. At least two
different parties, and l am not sure
but there were three, building from
that description made as many differ
ent applications of the same simple
principle, and said the traps worked
perfectly. If one gets so Overawed by
contemplation of the mechanism of a
trap nest he ought to go and watch a
linotype machine or a printing press
turning out color supplements for
awhile, and get his sense of proper
ton put into proper shape.
Or if he feels that it is in the knowl-
edge the Use of trap nests bring-in
the things it opens up to the user,-let
him sit down and make a list of the
general truths or principles he has
learned from trap nests, and then go
through it and strike out every one
that was known before his time, and
generally known to poultry keepers
without trap nest evidence, and see
what he has left.

Home of Citrus Fruit,

According to the South Florida Re
cord, all the orange growers in the
state had better move to the extreme
Southern part of the East Coast, that
is the only place in Florida suited to
the cultivation of citrus fruits.
There are many thousand acres of
land in the state of Florida that are
adapted to growing oranges and grape
fruit of the finest quality; but much of
it is located where the climate con-
ditiOns are not favorable for success
fully growing this luscious fruit.
Dade county, one of the latest set
tied portions of the state, where Or
anges and grapefruit grow to perfec
ton and where there is no possible
danger of cold sufficient to kill the
trees or injure the fruit, in the vicinity
of Miami there are a few old trees that
have been planted for nearly forty
years.
During the past several years, when
oranges and trees have been more or
less damaged by cold in many portions
of the state, Dade county groves or
fruit has never suffered.
During the last ten years there have
been many thousand acres of pine
land cleared and planted in citrus and
tropical fruit trees, and they all give
evidence that the soil and climate con-
ditiOns are right for successfully grow
ing these fruits.

Whose Fault Is It?

The De Soto County Advertiser pub
fishes an item which seems to indicate
that our shippers sometimes pass a
good market and send their produce
to a poorer one. OF course the produce
dealers should seek their supplies near

shipper ought by all means to try to
find a market as near home as pos
sible
South Florida truck-grOwers may
be somewhat surprised to learn that
large part of the produce from that
section OF the state which reaches the
Pensacola market comes via New
Orleans. In other words, the trucker
ships his produce through a market
where prices are high, to commission

turn, sells it to the Pensacola retailer
The grower could save the cost of
transportation for a distance OF 500
miles by using little horse sense

And yet we fail to note the adver-

we ship to? Now, honestly, isn't that

A Large Farm.

\ reporter of the Ocala Star has
been visiting the Marion Farms and
gives the following account of what
he saw and heard:
1t was the reporters first visit to
the farms in nearly a year, and he
was much surprised and gratified at
the many changes and improvements
that have been wrought on the proper
ty during this period.
Taking a general view of the farms,
many acres have been added to the
property, which now embraces about
800 acres of the finest soil in Marion,
the banner county of Florida, gently
rolling and most beautifully situated.
Much more land has been put in cul-
tivatiOn within the past year, there
being now some $50 acres in a high
state of cultivation, all fenced with
improved wire field fence. Although
the land is comparatively new ground,

Poultry publishes an account of
some experiments made to settle this
question.
The Maine experiment station tried
out the matter of the most profitable
number of hens to keep in Il pen quite
thoroughly three or four years ago.
Brahmas and Plymouth Rocks were
used in this experiment and the hens
were of about the same size. The pens
We're 1OX16 feet giving 160 square feet
to each pen. FlOcks of II. 20. % and
80 were put in these pens and kept
there for six months.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1906-02-07

most of it has been ''grubbed,' and is
entirely free from stumps and rocks,
and the improved, labor-saving farm
machinery is used to good advantage.
Hundreds of pecan trees have been
planted out and are coming on nicely
A deep well is being drilled by Mr.
Freyermuth to supply the hospital
with water. A steam engine is Oper-
ated for grinding cane and feed, cut
ting wood, pumping water, etc. I'm
mense barns and sheds have been
erected and great quantities of home
grown feed have been stored in them
The farm has a splendid herd of
Hereford cattle, pure blood, and also
a number of Jerseys. The herd num-
bers about hundred head and the
cattle are doing unusually well. Ten
head of Jersey cows were shipped on
the day of our visit to Clearwater.
There are a big drove of about 300
head of hogs. The bOars and brood
sows are all bloOded animals. They
are doing well and proving very profit
able. Hog killing-time'' has just
passed and fifty head of huge porkers
were slaughtered and the meat cured,
yielding nearly $1,000 pounds.
The farms raised and ground a
great deal of sugar cane, and has put
up much syrup, which is unexcelled
by the product of any farmer i'm the
country. Several acres of Japanese
cane were also grown, most of which
is still standing, and is being, and will
be used as green feed, for which pur-
pose it is more valuable to the farms
than if made into syrup.
Adjoining the hospital is the garden,
fertile, beautifully cultivated eight
acre tract, which is now a mass of
tender green, and supplying the kitch-
en- for the entire farm and hospital
with more turnipS, rutabagaS, cab
bage, onions, beets, lettuce, etc, than
can be used; and this garden is per-
petual, too, always supplying some
thing green for the table.
Captain A. G. Cobb, the efficient and
practical superintendent, with Cap
tain w. L. Maxwell, his able assistant,
has everything in perfect system and
can show visitors a model farm, for
it is more like an the-cOuntry ag-
ricultural scene than the average
Florida farm
Just now Captain Cobb is finishing
up the oats, about 125 acres, and will
put in 100 acres of corn, 40 of cotton,
10 of peanuts, 75 of velvet beans, 30 of
cane, % of sweet potatoes, ETC., and
all of the work is being done with the
cOnvicts from the hospital

the experiment began in November
being continued for six months, during
which time careful account was
kept with the several focks. The
average cost of keeping the hens was
30 cents each for this time. In the
pens where fifteen hens were kept
each hen had trifie more than ten
and one-half square feet of room. In
this pen each hen layed sixty-fve eggs
and fraction over, 976 being the pro-
duct of the pen. These were worth
$12.O2, after deducting the cost of
feed, or a net profit of 80 cents per
hen.
Where twenty hens were kept in a
pen, the average production of eggs
was a little over sixty or 1 ,2OS for the
pen, worth SILL above the cost of the
feed. leaving a net income of II cents
per pen.
Where twenty-five hens were kept
i'm a pen the number of eggs was a
little over fifty-one each, 1,32S for the
pen, showing a profit of $13.1S above
the cost of feed, or So cents for each
hen.
Where thirty hens were penned to-
gether, each hen produced forty eggs
with a total production of 1,2O3 at a
profit of $9.O6 above the cost of feed
and of 30 cents for each hen.
In other words one pen of thirty
hens with 160 square feet of room pro-
duced LOB eggs while a pen of half
that number, with the same room.
within 227 of as many. On the same
showing if the pen of thirty had been
divided into two pens of fifteen each,
the hens i'm it would have laid 1852
eggs instead of 1903.
The pen with twenty hens i'm it gave
the greatest net profit of any pen but
the pen with fifteen made the largest
profit per hen. That is fifteen hens
made $12.O2 after paying for their
feed, while twenty hens made 14,16,
the extra five hens adding only $2.14
to the profit of the pen. Where above
twenty were kept in pen the profits
fell off rapidly. This shows cOncluS-
lively that the matter of the number
of hens that should be kept together
is an important one, but it cannot be
settled by such experiments as above
given, although this is valuable as
that hens must not be crowd
ed.
Where hens have unlimited range
and are allowed to run out practically
every day in the year, the house need
not be So large as it should be where
the birds are kept confined a large part
of the time. We have had good re-
suits from hens which had only four
square feet of house room, but this
was used only as a sleeping place nine
tenths of the days i'm the year, and per-
haps more, as the birds were never
confined except during very severe
weather, and then they were kept
busy every minute of the day.
Overcrowding is dangerous as well
as Improbable and every pOultryman
should consider this matter carefully
They can sleep in a rather small house
if it is made in the proper manner,
but they must have plenty of room
during the day. 1t is necessary for
the pOultryman to keep in mind the
fact that room is as important as feed
