Matching Early in a Mild Climate.

A correspondent of the Southern
Poultry Journal says:
January Ist ought to see at least
part of our breeding pens mated
anl in their regular quarters. FeDru
airy and March are the months that
we Southern breeders ought to use to
hatch every egg we can. If you have
never tried it, do so this time and
our word for it you will never fail
afterwards to get out as many chicks
as you can early.
If your runs are sown in some green
food, as they ought to be, you will
find that the January and February
eggs are the most fertile of the year
The hens are not so far from their
mott as to have drained their vitality
by long laying, the early Matched pull
lets are in the flush of their strength,
the males are live and active. 1t is
the very best time of the year to get
out strong, healthy chicks.
Don't take the advice of your
Northern friend to wait until April
or May; with him the ground is froz-
EN- and covered with snow; there is
no growing greens for his fowls; the
fowls are probably confined in a close
house and not allowed out in the
yards at all. What eggs he is getting
are forced by careful feeding, many
Of them laid when the thermometer
is at zero. Of course it is too early
for him to hatch successfully.
But see how different conditions
are with you Your fowls probably
have not been confined day during
the winter md maybe won't be; they
are running out in the sun and air
with the thermometer up to fifty;
they are filling their crops day after
day with good succulent, green food;
and if you are giving them little
meat food every two Of three days
preferably every day. they are shell
ing out eggs for you.
Don't you see the difference? it is
what makes your country the best in
the United States for chicken grow
ing, provided you will take advantage
Of you opportunities and get at it
now
In April and May your Northern
oou1trvman will be inst where Won
are now, and he will be runnino his
incubators overtime to get out chicks.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1907-03-20

and May)
1t you put off your Matching until
the late spring or summer you will
lind that the hens will overhead the
eggs and that they won't hatch so
we'll, besides, the eggs are not so fer
tile, anyway, and fifty per cent,
hatch then is fair one Your late
Matched chickens will butt right into
the hot weather (Which is your worst
enemy and there will come sore head,
drying up, and that sleepy disease
that gets SO many of them. Maybe
this last is lice, maybe not; whatever
it is, you don't have it in early hatch
ed chicks.
Your February and March chicks
are the ones that make size; and size
counts. The Northern criticism of
Southern birds is that they are small;
that's because we put off Matching
them too late. Our early Matched
birds have all the size, vigor and go
that they need. Have it and to spare
over the Northern birds.
Pick out big birds for your breeders.
1t is frequently a great temptation to
put small bird into our breeding pen
because she has some excellencies
that we want. Somehow nature seems
to put the best features and shape on
the little birds, and it is hard to dis
card good one in these particulars.
But it will pay in the long run. 1t is
about as easy to breed big ones as
little ones if we will only go at it
hard enough. Discard all of the small
birds for two Or three years and they
will quit coming in any considerable
numbers.
Some people say that it is too much
trouble to raise early chicks, they re-
qulre housing, etc., and for this reas-
on, which is a lazy mans reason
and ought to be no reason, they put it
off.
They are exaggerating the trouble
The writer Matched brood of chicks
on the 9Th day of March last year:
the hen was confined in a small coop
made of a dry goods box by the
we'll; the chicks were allowed to run
out every day, rain or shine; when
the rain came the hen kept them I'm
der her as we'll as she could, but they
were never confined. We had freez-
ing weather part of the time; but the
chicks grew like weeds. One of them
was first cockerel at Atlanta and he
never roasted inside a house from
the day he was Matched till he got
into the show room He was over
weight on October 1st and as strong
as a horse.
In calculating for your early chicks
remember they will be at least a
month later than the beginning Of
your preparations for them If you
order the eggs from breeder there
is a week after the order before you
get them; then you put them under
your hen and she keeps them three
weeks. SO if you want chicks out in
February you must set the eggs in
January; if you want them in March,
February must start the setting. We
are very apt to overlook this delay.
It looks like suicide to get setting
Of high-priced eggs out of the express
office when there is ice on the ground.

A POPULAR FOOD DELIcAcY
Why karo Corn Syrup Has Attained
Such High Favor.

To one who compares the relative
merits of karo Corn Syrup-its good
ness its purity, its food value and its
price-with those of other products for
similar use. there is little room to won
der why 1t is rapidly displacing all
other syrups on the market.
Karo Corn Syrup is a clear, golden
syrup of the golden grain, so exquisite
ly good that 1t makes griddle cakes,
wafIles, biscuit. etc, fairly melt In
ones mouth. 1t is delightful as a
spread for bread Housewives claim
that its peculiarly delicate and pleas
ing flavor make Karo unapproached
for baking, candy-making or for any
use where syrup is employed as a
sweetening agent.
More than this, Karo Corn Syrup is
food of remarkable value, SO nutri-
tious and sustaining has it proven to
be. IL delights and benefits the old
and young. the weak and strong, dig.
esting with practically no tax upon the
system. Because of its wholesome
ness and natural purity it has received
the unqualified endorsement of food
experts.
The method of packing and selling
Karo Corn Syrup in alright, friction
top tins is commendable one. for it
insures unaltered purity of the product
at all times.

Western Enterprise Is Transforming
the Land of the Lotus.

Fifty-one years ago George William
Curtis wrote. THE sole hope of the
East is Western incubation. If the
East awaken, it will be no longer in
the turban and red slippers, but in hat
and boots. The West is the sea that
advances forever upon the shore, the
shore cannot stay il. but becomes the
bottom Of the ocean"
The first of the articles dealing with
The West in the Orient" by Charles
NJ. Pepper, Foreign Trade Commits
sioner, Department of Labor and Com
merce, will appear in the January
Scribner. The author who has made
many journeys in the interest of his
special work has recently returned
IRON trip round the world made
with the special purpose of gathering
material for these papers. He, has
had most unusual opportunities for
observation due TO his official position,
and he has looked at the countries and
people of the East from the vantage
point OF the student of the past as well
as OF the present. From Biblical
times through the centuries the river
Nile has been the great father and
proyider OF the lands through which it
flows, and upon the rise and fall of its
waters has depended for ages the pros
perity OF ancient Egypt. In dealing
with the subject of Irrigation: An
Old Force Newly Applied" Mr.. Pepper
dwells upon the picturesque traditions
of the past regarding the origin of the
Nile. upon the old primitive ways of
10 hx, tlA
shadoufs, sakiyehs and baskets, and
upon the wonderful progress that has
followed the introduction Of modern
pumping machinery and storage res
ervoirs. The great Libyan and Nu-
bian deserts have been made to bloom,
and within sight of the pyramid of
Cheops and the Sphinx, an enterpris-
ing Arab has turned to profit the sun
baked sands. In India, too, and
Mesopotamia the same problem of the
conserving of the natural water re-
sources Is being developed with sur
prising results. The somnolence and
indifference of the Orient are giving
way before the spirit of modern COM
mercial progress and the market or
the world are being affected.
Others papers by Mr.. Pepper VIII
deal with Electricity: The New Force
in Old Lands" referring to such
modern romantic contrasts as the troll
ley road In Damascus, the electrical
power company in the Valley of kash-
mir and the telegraph and telephone
In Thibet; The Transformation of

caravan trails have been modified by
modern electric railways. II also out

terminal facilities of the Bagdad Rail-
road where there are elevators with
electric cranes as in this country; and
pictures the probable effects of the
proposed railway from Afghanistan in
TO Persia; The New Tide of Com
merce Through Suez," an article that
will give new impressions of inter-
national waterways, with special refer
ence to the Suez Canal and the return
currents of the commerce of the
Orient.

In These Times

In these times, which are anything
bu; Piping times for Peace so far as
finances of the country are concerned,
II is encouraging to know that the in
vesting public have an opportunity Of
obtaining at least one class of Sc
curities which remain unsullied from
the communicating touch of Trusts
and Unaffected by stock jobbing oper-
atoms.
Always and everywhere Real Estate
Mortgages placed on safe valu-
alton offer the surest return for the
principal sum invested and often a
high rate of interest. In New York
City when all bonds and stocks have
been at a discount, Real Estate Mort
cages have been able to command
capital and have been comparatively
easy of negotiation. There is no
place In the world where Real Es-
tate values are so steady as in New
York City. In another column we
give space to the advertisement of
Burton Thompson, real estate mort
gage broker of New York, who is offer
ing to investors, small mortgages
running for five years, at 6 per cent
interest. There could be no better
class of security than City property,
where is a margin of from so to 60
percent in equity above the amount of
the mortgage.
1t is to be hoped that the public will
find in some such security sufficient
excuse for bringing their money out of
hiding laces and investing it where it
will stimulate circulation and credit

Autumn Thoughts

The pale glimmering rays of an Oc-
tober sun,
Come in at our low cottage door;
whisper of those.
Who will come to our home never
more.
The sweet flowers have faded and
dropped one by one,
Their foliage Is shriveled and brown
The leaves from the trees look like
gold In the sun,
And tremblingly fall to the ground.
The chirp of the cricket grows fainter
and slow,
The grasshoppers songs nearly done
The butterfly finished her tasks long
ago,
And is wrapped in her snug winter
home.
Soon loud in his wrath the gruff storm
king will call,
As he heralds old winters storm
reign;
And like soft dews from heaven pure
snow-flakes will fall,
Covering valley and hilltop and
brain.
Then arouse thee my soul, press on to
thy work,
Take heed from the slow dying
year,
Eternity's long, and thine earth-life is
short,
Thy harvest time surely is near.
