The chicken industry, or poultry
business has increased in Importance
everywhere. 1t has grown enormous
ly in the South and has been reduced
to a science. The class of chickens
that few years ago would have
been regarded as fine show birds
would not be entered in an exhibition
now. The size has been largely in
creased in most breeds, and rapid
eight weeks old weigh from four to
five pounds, and in the Eastern mar
kets sell from rs to 40 cents a pound
making an average chicken of this
improved class worth $3.50. There
has also been great improvement in
egg production.
A common, old-fashioned hen lays
about 100 eggs a year, while the
thoroughbred hen lays from $50 to
24o. 1t costs no more to raise thor
oughbred chickens than the common
kind. Chickens raised loose on the
farm or in the woods, as millions
are, are raised at little cost, but
where they are raised with care and
are continuously fed, the cost of rails
ing or maintaining a chicken is placed
at about ST. What were once con-
sidered fancy chickens" are now rails
ed as the most profitable kind for the
table and as producers They
grow faster, weigh more and produce
more eggs, and are, therefore, the
most profitable.

Buy An Incubator.

Buy An Incubator.
The editor of the Florida Poultry
and Agricultural Journal says:
To buy that incubator you have
been thinking about, and a few words
on the subject may possibly be of
benefit. At this season of the year,
many people enter the poultry bust
ness, some for profit, others for pleas
ure. The question naturally arises,
What make of incubators shall I
buy? There are incubators and incu-
bators, like everything else; some good
and some bad; and while it is not the
writer's purpose to blow the horn Of
any special manufacturer, experience
has taught him that good standard,
high grade machine is always the
cheapest, even if the price be higher
than you expected to pay. Select the
one you think best suited to your
needs and give it proper attention.
Many failures are due to carelessness
rather than to a poor machine. Even
a cheap one will, in the hands of a
careful operator, give good results.
Don't expect an incubator to hatch
weakly fertilized eggs from stock that
has not received proper attention; sup
ply strongly fortified eggs from
strong, healthy, vigorous stock, and
adhere closely to the directions given
with each incubator, taking into con-
>ideration the possible difference in
climatic conditions You will find this
much more successful than trying to
run machine that you may never
have seen before, according to your
own ideas rather than in accordance
with directions supplied by the man
who made it. He doubtless knows
how best to operate it. You supply
the brains and the machine will do
the work. Select a we'll ventilated
room; start your machine at least two
days before putting eggs in, and get
it regulated; find out it's peculiarities !;
study every detail; keep your lamp
clean, we'll filled, and the wick trim
med. You do not have to be en-
bowed with extraordinary ability to
successfully hatch chickens, but ev-
cry detail must have attention; there
fore, if you are careless and do not
like system, keep out of it.
Don't look for every egg to hatch;
an average of 90 per cent will make
money if they are attended to prop
erly. Don't "cuss" the incubator if
your hatch fails, until you know
whether it was the machines fault
or your own, and don't be easily dis
couraged; one hatch never yet told
the tale. Some people say they never
have any luck with incubator hatch
es." There is no question of "1uck"
in it, friend; it is either you, the ma
chine or the eggs. If all three are
right, then success is sure. Don't
blame it on chance; look elsewhere
for the cause; it's there all right, and
when you find it, correct it next time.

To properly digest its food the fowl must
have grit. What the teeth are to the human
being grit is to the fowl. We can now furnish
ground oyster shells, from which all the dust
and dirt has been screened, to supply this grit
which is lacking in nearly all parts of Florida.
Goods very inferior to ours and full of dust
have been selling for SLIGO to $1.25 per sack of

senses he was in the hack work room:
that Lawrence spoke to him, put cold
water his face and took him to his
room, where he put him to bed. He then
told of a physician being called and treat

taken to the room and that his hands were
badly swollen. He did not know at that
time whether or not there were any
bruises or his body, but when he was
taken to jail he discovered that his mouth

his chest and limbs. He said he suffered
pain in his chest and stomach for some
time afterward.
The examination occupied all of the af-

to fail him. When questioned regarding
what his wife said with reference to get
