florist explained on his return. The

A Profitable Little Ranch.

The following from the California
CultivatOr gives some interesting tlg-
ureS:
Since writing last weeks article,
we had the pleasure OF visit to a
ranch containing about four acres, two
acres of which was run to poultry.
this two acres contained the house
and yard and feed house, barn, ETC., SO
in giving Our figures as to what Mr..
and Mrs. Coles GOr this is the ranch
we refer toy, are doing, we will des1g-
nate it as a two-acre poultry ranch.
We give what was done on this
farm or ranch in one year, as Mrs.
Coles was just figuring up her years
receipts when we were there, the
year having ended the day 1efore Our
visit
Plymouth Rocks.
The birds kept on this ranch are
thoroughbred Plymouth Rocks, Barred
and white, and most Of the product,
(stock and eggs) was sold on the
market, yet they sold some stock for
breeders and settings for Matching, also
some day-o1d chicks as they did not
neglect an opportunity to convert their
products into cash at the highest price
obtainable. On September p, 1906,
there were on the ranch 7Io head of
poultry all told, and at the end Of the
year, September 23, 1907, 73o head or
20 head more than a year ago.
Strict account was kept Of every
item paid for feed and every head Of
stock and every egg sold during the
II months, excepting only, that used
on the table and given away.
Stock sold amounted to, $3o3. 81;
eggs sold, $I,268o5; total, $I,57162.
Paid for feed, $667.Io, leaving for their
work a profit of $oo4.52.
At no time during the year did the
number OF laying hens exceed 325. The
others were birds of various sizes and

Hatching Chickens by Electricity.

The last number Of Farm Poultry
contains a long article on this subject.
1t contains several illustrations Of new
inventions, for the purpose Of hatch
ing and brooding chicks by electrical
heat. The first one shows a glass
globe covering a small incubator in
which all the operations Of the in
cubator are plainly visible; in it the
piping of the eggs, the breaking out
Of the chicks and their drying off can
be closely observed.
Another cut, shows an electrOplane,
a heating device for use in any 1ncu-
bator, where supply Of electricity can
be had. 1t seems to be a flat square
sheltlike mechanism, which is to be
placed in the egg chamber and will
uevelOp heat from an electric current
The third shows an electric heated
and regulated incubator for seventy
two eggs, which is adapted to fanclers
in cities and villages where an electric
plant exists.
The last one shows all electric
brooder, which can be adapted to use
where a supply Of electricity can be
obtained
This news will be Of very little
practical benefit to our readers, but
we give it, thinking they may be in
interested in knowing all that is being
done in the chicken world.
The Florida agriculturist., 1907-11-13
Foxes and Poultry.

Farm Poultry contains long
editorial on this subject, based upon
an incident at an English poultry
meeting where one grower complained
of the difficulty of raising chickens
after they got large enough to range
the fields, on account of the ravages
or lONes l. he chairman ruleu MS
remarks out OF order, anu notni IL
more was said about the matter. Fox
hunting is sacred thing in England,
and must not be intertered with for
any such trit1ing matter as few chick
ems. But you would hardly believe
that foxes could be protected at the
expense Of chickens in this country.
Yet the same article tells Of an at
tempt to have a bounty offered for
fox scalps in Massachusetts,, but the
fox hunters opposed the bill before
the committee SO vigorously that 1t
was not passed.
there might be no objection from
hunters to bill for a bounty on fox
scalps in this state, but law to pro-
tect sheep from worthless ours stands
no chance Of consideration.

Controlling the Fowls.

Some people succeed much better in
the keeping of poultry than others and
it will be found that as rule these
people are gentle, kind and sympathet-
ic in controlling the fowls. Fowls are
quick to respond to these qualities and
will do their best in return for them
1t may seem small matter to have
the fowls get to know ones voice BY
speaking to them now and then, but l
have found this a very good thing at
times Take for instance the necess1-
ty of entering the poultry house at
night with a lantern; sometimes this
will alarm the fowls and they will
crowd together on the perches and
some will jump to the floor, yet II
upon entering [ speak to them they
will at once recognize my voice and
remain quiet. In another case, II l
enter the yards with a person who Il
a stranger to them they may at first
show fear, but if [ speak to them
they soon quiet down.
Fear acts harmfully upon poultry
and no fowls can do we'll that are sub

leaps in the air with squawks of fear,
evidently expecting me 10 hurI some
thing at him. While he is now much
better in this respect it is probable
some time will pass before he will
get over this fear, evidently occasionet
by poor treatment; and at present he is
one of my most unsatisfactory male
birds.
There is, however, the other ex-
treme of being too kind and letting

Cause of Soft Shell Eggs.

Hens that acquire the habit of lay
ing soft-shell eggs should be watched
very carefully in order to break them
Of it, There are two causes tor soft
eggs. One is feeding too much slim
ulating food; the other, not enough
she1l-form ming material being furnish
ed. Too much spiced food and meat
is generally found to be the chief
cause, and if that is cut out, the evil
can generally be overcome. II the
hens have been overfed they will
show it bv the lack of eagerness with
which they eat new food. After you
are satisfied that they have been fed
too much, reduce the supply, and add
a little epson salts to their drinking
water for about four days. Grit or
crushed oyster shells should be fed
if want of lime is the trouble.-Farm

again, is equal to the energy required
to lay three extra eggs per day. This
labor-saving device does away with
lost motion, and equalizes the hen S
energy. If the eggs are not of the
required size according to the law
established last winter, screw the gov
ernor down little and run the ma
chine slower. The machine can be
reversed so it will crow instead OF
cackle. When the price Of eggs gets
below ten cents per dozen the machine
is reversed. This helps the price Of
eggs and encourages the hen.
