SQUADS in Florida.
Florida.

There is no doubt that the raising
of squads is profitable business for
those who understand it and are will
ing to take the necessary pains to see
that everything is done right.
We have printed some articles CIV
ing statements of what has been and
is being done, but have never ad-
vlsed our readers to rush into the
business blindly. The enormous
profits figured out on paper are too
suggestive of the Belgian hare boom.
However, we give you an item from
the Miami Metropolis which claims
to give the results of one mans ex-
perience in raising squads down on
the East Coast:
"Mr James McComb, Jr., has one
of the largest squad houses on the
East Coast. Orders are coming in
in such large proportions that he can
not fill all of them. It is a strange
thing that not more of Dade county
people go into squad raising, and it
is very gratifying sight to see a
box containing three dozen squad
worth SO to So shipped, where one has
to hoe in the mud to get six or nine
crates of tomatoes to make that much
money.
1T takes three or four months to
raise that many crates of tomatoes,
while Mr. McComb doesn't do thing
but throw little feed to the parent
birds and they the babies, yet every
six weeks, each pair of his birds make
a half dollar for him."
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1907-01-16

Troubles in the Poultry Yard.

We hope that none of our readers
are troubled by their neighbors
roosters as was the writer of an arti-
Gle which we quote below. If you are,
you may find valuable lesson in the
following:
"The bird fancier who lives in a
small village or town is always trou-
bled more or less by neighbors who
keep poultry for profit. Mrs. Jones
came to me one morning and said
that one of her hens lays away from
home, and was quite sure that it laid
in one of my coops. So to satisfy
Mrs. Jones I go with her the rounds
of the place but could find no stray
eggs.
81 keep Buff Cochins and pride my
self in my pure bred stock, my cleanly
coops, and my well-kept grounds:
writes Vim. Goodrich in Farmers
Guide. A fence four feet high keeps
my flock at home at all times Mrs
Brown keeps flock of mongrels that
go everywhere and she is always in
search of lost pullets.
But my greatest trials are with
my neighbors' ROSTERS My rooster,
like all Buff Cochin roosters, is large
and clumsy, and not much of fight
er. Our first battle was with a Ply
mouth Rock rooster which would fly
over the fence and attack my rooster
just any time, and before I knew it
was badly used up
Things in the chicken yard were in
bad shape now. What hens were
sitting were all right what eggs were
on hand would do; but after that there
would be nothing but Plymouth Rock
stock, and that | did not want. The
only thing I could do was to wait for
my rooster to convalesce | could
not import a rooster on so short a
notice At one end of week I could
