worms and eat grass, returning when
they want it; which is far better than
cramming their craWs full when fed
wet mash and then NOPE around try
ing to digest it, They will not gorge
themselves upon the dry mash, but
like it very we'll They will quit it
at any time, however, to eat the whole
grain fed them in the litter.
In feeding the mash and grain, feed
as above indicated. It is supposed
that the fowls have free access to grass
when they can get it, Or growing
small grain in the winter, Or alfalfa
or Essex rape. If none Of these can
be had i'll the winter, then feed alfalfa
meal in the ground mash, or short cut
alfalfa put into vessel and hot water
poured over it, and allowed to steam
and sit there for several hours. Cab
bage, beets, turnips Or potatoes cut
into small pieces and fed them, make
excellent feed as green stuff
The best scrap should not be the
cheap Or commercial stuff, which is
fit only for fertilizer, but only the
very best high protein beef scrap, and
this should always be used fresh.
The trouble about farmers trying
to raise chickens is that they never
give balanced ration thought, but go
ahead and feed their hens and young
stock mostly whole corn, which is all
right in limited quantities with other
foods. Corn contains too high a per-
centage Of carbohydrates, and fat-pro-
ducing material, so it takes a good
quantity Of feed-containing protein, in
addition, to make the chicks grow
and hens lay, and this deficiency in
corn meal must be supplied by adding
beef scrap cottonseed meal
A balanced, nutritious ration will
enable the poultryman and farmer to
get plenty Of eggs, provided, of
course, that he has a good egg-pro-
ducing breed and egg-laying strain Of
that breed when their neighbor's hens
are on strike, just as I am now get

SCRUBS OR THOROUGHBREDS.
How to Change from the First to
the Second

The following, from Poultry Life in
America, shows how this desirable
change can be best made:
After much thought and study, |
have concluded that the best way is
not to Try to grade up. Of course,
grades are better than scrubs, but
incomparably worse than thorough
breds.
If the farmer will fix poultry yard
Of not less than 5oxIoo feet, and make
except toward the south with two or
three roosting poles across the back
end, not over three Or four feet from
the ground or floor.
Then purchase from a reliable
breeder of an all-round popular breed
good all-purpose breed like Wyan-
dottes, Plymouth Rocks, or Rhode
Island Reds, as many choice speci
mems as he feels able to buy, say a
cockerel and four pullets; or, if he
can't afford to buy SO many, then a
trio; place them in a pen to them
selves and set all their eggs. Do
not allow them to sit at all, but keep
them laying, and if properly managed,
that fall he will have enough to stock
up entirely with thoroughbreds and
sell all his common stock, and presto!
he has start with very little expense
in one year. In buying the first, get
the best that you can afford, get good
ones, even if half the mongrel hens
have to be disposed of to buy them
By setting all the eggs while fresh,
and Matching as many as possible in
January, February, March and April,
it will give a good start in early pull
lets. The second year keep the cock
erel, if he is good one, and each year
keep the best, earliest Matched birds.

Mites and Sparrows.

We do not know that the English
sparrow is common enough in most
parts Of Florida to be very trouble
some. They are very common in
Jacksonville, and maybe in and near
other large cities. If so, it is possible
that they are responsible for some
respondent Of Farm and Ranch says:
We chicken raisers are having trou-
bles Of our own this spring. Having
all nests movable and cleaning them
Out after each hen comes off with
her hatch and then to have mites all
over the place! Where do they come
from? The writer learned when she
first commenced with poultry that
cleanliness was next to something bet
ter-and having some curiosity besides
what she inherited, set out to find
where the trouble started-and sure
did. Those little English sparrows
first build a nest about as long as
joint Of stOvepipe, and then go from
one hen house to another and pick
up loose feathers and line their nests;
then use that nest until they wear
those feathers out, then get more and
breed mites by the pint, gallon, or
bushel
Now, readers, it took me some time
to find this out, and longer to find
remedy. First, have all nests and
inside fixtures movable, and never let
hen set longer than necessary. Sec
ond, keep a supply of crude carbolic
acid or crude petroleum or both on
1and all the time, and spray or sprin-
kle the inside Of your poultry house
good. Use it freely on everything;
bit the hen and eggs. A little in the
bottom Of nest box under the straw
is good and won't injure the eggs;
too much will sometimes make the
hen sick. Burn out the nest after
each hen is off, and last, but not least,
Kill all the sparrOWs you can. If they
re not allowed to nest around the
place it helps some, but as long as
they visit your yard after loose feath-
erS you will have mites.

Milk for Laying Hens.

SKINNED milk is worth more for
laying hens than for any other use.
1t is remarkable how soon it's effects
can be seen; that is, if your hens are
not laying we'll and you begin to give
them milk freely, you will very soon
see a difference. We give it in any
form that we have it, that is, sweet
or sour, thick or just turned-it is all
the same to Them In the last number
Of the Florida Poultry Journal the
editor recommends it quite strongly.
He makes one suggestion that we have
never seen before, that is, that you
The Florida agriculturist., 1907-12-18

should add teaspoonful of common
cooking soda to each quart of milk.
We have never tried this, having al
ways used the milk in it's natural state
The soda may be an improvement; you
can try it and see for yourself.

HEALTH OF CHILDREN.
Physical Welfare School Conference

The committee physical welfare of school
children called conference yesterday at the Acad-
envy of Medicine. Chairman Charles c Birmingham
explained that they had to be previous and call
their conference this spring. because there is
lot of things TO be done before next fall" Whether
they will be done not decided. IT might be an
eXaggeration to say that the impression the con-
ference gave was that the Board of Health. the
Board OF Education. principals. parents and dis
pensaries are all working at Odds and that the chill
dren are going to the dogs. But If any conclusion
was reached il was that lack of cooperation is
multiplying the little that be done the other
existing defciences-of money in the city depart
ments, intelligence in parents and doctors in the
dispensaries.
Some of the speakers on the programme were not
there when the conference came TO order shortly
after o'clock, but enough on hand to con-
tribute a wide divergence of views
DR.. Luther Gulick, physical director Of schools
was the first to talk. DR.. Gullck objected imme-
