Something New.

49, Our poultry exchanges are full Of
advertisements. The majority are
signed by mems names, others by a
firm name, occasionally SO and So &
Son or sons.
The last number Of the Poultry Tri-
bune contained an advertisement which
attracted our attention at once, on
account of the signature, which was
J. NJ. Cunningham and Wife. Many
a poultry plant owes much of its sue
cess to the efforts of the wife, but this
is the first time that we ever saw any
acknowledgement Of the fact
. If we were going to buy poultry at a
distance, we should feel inclined to
send them the order. hn

SOrehead.

We have printed articles on this sub
ject at various times. We have always
recommended the use Of axle grease as
cure. We have always found it a
certain remedy if taken in time But
this fall it broke out again among our
young chickens. We at once applied
the axle grease and in most cases one
dose was sufficient to effect a cure
In some cases it took two and even
three to cure. But it did cure all but
two chickens, they seemed to grow
worse from the first After they had
each received three treatments of the
grease, we found that they were so
much worse that we decided that a
change was necessary. >
A short time before we had seen, in
the poultry department of the Practi-
cal Farmer, an article on sorehead, and
two or three remedies given. One
was blue vitrol (sulphate of copper,
often called blue stone, to be dissolved
in, water at the rate of one dram to
pint of water. We prepared small
quantity and used it on the two chick
ems that were so badly off. One died
that night, too far gone, the other, be-
gan to improve at once and three appli-
cations, 4S hours apart, effected a cure
Care is necessary in using it, not to
get it into the eyes for fear of injury.
We still prefer the axle grease, but
it you do not see Improvement after
two doses, try blue vitrol.
A few days ago we received a letter
from subscriber in South Florida,
who has been troubled with sorehead
and who used the vitrol in the lump
simply wetting it and rubbing it on
the sores She says that it was effect
ual. We do not doubt it, but should
prefer the solution as being much mild
er and less liable to do injury. The
cheapest way to get it would be to go
to a drug store and buy an ounce or
half an ounce and then get the drug
gist to weigh it into doses of drains
and half drains. 1t must be kept in
glass or earthen ware as it is very
corrosive and is also very poisonous.

cause. Even in small towns and vii
lagos the ground around each house is
very limited, and frequently an English
cottage Of four rooms has a much larg-
er garden than an American house
owned by the occupant, Of more than
twice the size. Even, however, where
there is wealth of open land around,
many poultry keepers in the United
States appear to prefer to see their
birds yarded and restricted to a limited
plat. What we have frequently to do
nolens volens, the American does vol
UNFAIRLY and without any necessity.
Perhaps the most striking develop
ment, from the English point Of view,
is the system adopted by farmers in
Rhode Island, around Little Compton,,
where the method of poultry keeping
is carried out in more complete and
systematic manner than in any other
place | have had the opportunity Of
visiting. This is essentially the right
method, and am surprised that more
has not been made of it by writer's in
America. 1t is known as the colony
system" and is, as rule, carried out
on much more satisfactory basis, &C
cording to Our ideas, than any other
which | saw. The birds are entirely
kept in colony houses, and are dis
tributed over the land, not to the same
extent as we do in Europe, but in a
way that appears to avoid the difficulty
always presenting itself to us in
Europe, namely, as to tainted soil
From all the information ob1ainable
and spent whole day among the
farmers Of that section Of Rhode
Island, this system yields substantial
profits, and when the question was
asked whether it was on an economic
basis, their smile of satisfaction show
ed that the farmers were content.
In Europe we have developed along
different lines. Our farmers have dis
tributed the fowls in portable houses,
linking poultry keeping with the ordi-

ever, to fulfill my wish until this sum-
mer; and as I am presenting the re-
suits of my visit to the readers Of the
| Country Gentleman before I report
them to my government, | wish,
through this journal, to acknowledge
the hearty welcome and great courtesy
I met in every place visited. Public
officials, private individuals, those in
terested in poultry questions and edu-
cational work, and many who are not
concerned in this special branch Of
agriculture, alike gave their help to
make my visit successful and pleasant,
and in the $500 miles travelled from
arrival at New York, to sailing thence,
extending from Washington to Toron-
| to, from the Atlantic seaboard to Kan
sas, my work was facilitated by all
| with whom came in contact.
Very soon the vastness of America
impressed itself upon the mind. Even
in the older states the extent of land
available is evident. Instead of the
| somewhat cramped conditions which
are met with at home, and the limita
tions thus imposed on those who are
concerned in food production, enhanc-
ed to very large extent by the de-
mand for residential properties, there
is abundance of land everywhere save
in the immediate neighborhood of
few large cities. This in itself has had
considerable influence upon the people
and their work. In the Eastern states
land can be purchased at prices much
below the rental for a single year of
similar farms in Britain. Where it
has been worked out by the system Of
cropping adopted the ordinary course
| seems to have been to leave it, or
sell for whatever it would realize, and
migrate elsewhere, perhaps to the
West. Or if the soil becomes sick
from overlooking, it is left fallow for
series of years. What would appear
to us most wasteful system is prac-
| 1lcable in a country whose resources
and enormous area are almost beyond
comprehension. But such conditions
cannot fail to influence the methods
adopted. Perhaps it is here we find
| some explanation of the larger ideas
held with regard to poultry keeping,
and, in fact, every branch of agricul-
ture, manufacture, and commerce. Big
things are in the air. People think
big, talk big, and seek to act big. They
risk more in many ways than we
should feel to be justifable. The
pioneer spirit is strong. Plans are at
tempted which we should in the light
| OF European experience regard as i'm
| possible of success. Failures are
| many, but some successes are met
with, and whether failure or success
follows, some progress is the result,
tor men often learn more by their
failures than by their achievements.
The difference between European
and American poultry keeping is
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1906-11-14

will be greater in the future But, al
though both in the Western states and
Canada, the poultry question is one for
farmers, and they are the main pro-
ducers, the number of fowls kept by
them is very small comparatively with
their opportunities and the acreage
available, and this side of the question
has yet been touched to only very
limited extent Its Importance is, how
ever, realized, and probably will be
more so in the future
In the Eastern states the greater de-
velopments, with two exceptions to be
afterward noted, are in the direction Of
larger plants. At present there are
many such plants, some of which pre-
sent problems of the deepest interest,
and which should be carefully watched.
Even though these large plants have
been conducted for several years, they
must still be regarded as experiments.
There can be no question that these
huge plants for the production of eggs,
Of chickens, or of ducklings have fas-
clnated many people. When place is
seen where 1000 laying hens are kept,
and the owner talks Of having 10000;
where men have invested $4,000, and
talk OF putting down twice that sum,
we are sure to meet either great sue
cess or equally great failure That the
personal equation is a huge factor
cannot be questioned, for it is so in
every department of human enterprise.
We may find captains of industry in
poultry as in other directions, men
who win success where others fail. All
the failures in that case would go for
nothing in view of the undoubted fact
that someone has succeeded--any more
than fifty failures to establish wireless
telegraphy are of any account in the
realization that this morning in mid
Atlantic we had news of yesterdays
occurrences in London and New York.
l am more than doubtful as to the
permanent success of some of the
places visited during my tour, but 9TH
ers are on different basis; and appear
to have the elements of permanence.
Where this business is taken up by fad
dlsts, or wealthy men desiring a new
toy, or enthusiasts without STAYING
power, their failures neither prove nor
disprove anything But one thing
stands out clearly and plainly, namely,
that in America and England alike, I
would not give dollar bill for the best
plant in existence if compelled to run
It purely for egg production, and pro-
hlblted from selling stock birds or eggs
Tor Matching or day old chicks, or US
ing the land as far as possible for the
cultivation of some crops 1t is the
combination plants that have succeeded
and will succeed.
One most interesting feature in the
industry in America is the absence of
what we know as suburban poultry
keepers-that is, those who live on the
borders of great cities, and who utilize
part of their garden ground for fowls,
thus producing a norton IF their own
