Cooling Incubator Eggs.

Does the following account for the
numerous poor matches in our warm
climate? We found it in Poultry:
The following from an Agricultural
Department report conveys informa-
ton that we regard as verv inpor-
tant. We have become convinced
that many weak chicks are hatch
ed in incubators from eggs that are
kept at the Matching temperature too
constantly. In Our experience cool
ing is as important as any other part
IN the operation of incubators.
1T was found that the eggs of
fowls which were at liberty hatched
better than those of fowls which were
confined. In tests made with an in
cubator it was found that eggs which
were repeatedly cooled and warmed
hatched much better than those which
we're kept at a warm temperature all
the time. In one experiment the eggs
are cooled by exposing them to the

air for an hour and half daily during
the whole period of incubation. This
treatment retarded the period of in
cubation for three days. The eggs
became quite cold and it required
about twelve hours to bring them up
to 1o4 degrees Fahrenheit, the tenn
perature of incubation. In the expert
ment thirteen out of sixteen Matched
vigorous chickens. The incubator
had been previously used with un-
satisfactory results.
"From a second experiment it was
inferred that the gradual heat of the
eggs was as essential as the process
Of cooling. Twenty-Five eggs which
had been laid on very warm days
were placed in the incubator and ex-
posed to the air, as in the preceding
case. The temperature was such that
the eggs were warmed up to Io4 de-
grees in two or thre hours. This
temperature was maintained until the
brood hatched The chickens pierced
the shell, but they were so weak that
they died before leaving the eggs'

Unusual Orange Bloom.

Many orange trees in and around
Leesburg are now as white with
bloom as they were seen in their
regular season for blooming. This
is something unusual. Orange trees
frequently bloom in June but seldom
in July, especially as late in the
month as this date.
The fruit made from this bloom
will not be quite as fine as the fruit
made from the spring bloom but it
will ripen at time of year when or
anges will be very scarce and will
therefore be greatly enjoyed by our
citigens or will bring handsome prices
if put upon the market. The fruit
will be little different in shape from
that produced by the spring bloom

practically all the wheat grown is
used for purposes of human food
whereas the greater part of the
corn crop is used for feeding stock
or as a raw material for nlanufac-
turing purposes. A better idea of
its Importance as human food
may be gained from a recent compila-
ton Of American dietary studies made
with many families in different parts
of the country. Among u families in
comfortable circumstances corn prepa-
rations furnished on an average 1.6
per cent of the total food; among
I6I families, mostly foreigners in the
poorer parts of large cities, only o.3
per cent; among Tennessee and
Georgia mountaineers, 23 per cent,
and among southern negroes, 32.5 per
cent: These figures refer only to
products made from ripe dried grains.
The conclusion is found that, con-
s1derlng all of it's uses, corn is one
OF the most important cereal foods

nutr1tive value, and digestibility.

Lessons From a Charmer.

Why is it that so many girls will
go to the cities to slave behind the
counter in close hot stores or write
at desk all day in stuhy office, when
they can easily make more money
out in the free air? A correspondent
Of Poultry says
Going by invitation into the pou1-
try yards of a beautiful young lady,
saw the rich glow of health on her
cheerful face, and watched with glad
ness the ripping smiles that chased
each other like little Cupids over her
lovely features. When she graceful
1y stopped to caress a glossy bird,
which came proudly walking to her
side, she half closed her large black
eyes that we're lit up with a liquid
light of bri1liancy, and for a moment
the long, dark, silken 1ashes lay quiet
ly over the half closed eyes as if in
mourning over the many souls they
had murdered in little love affairs.
When she arose and moved with dig
nifty and stately ease among her fine
birds, I found myself under the
magic power of her matchless
charms, and exclaimed with joyous
admiration: "Ah! what celestial
charms, what graceful mien! You
walk a beauty and you look a queen"
For this compliment, learned when I
was a school boy reading Homer, she
invited me into her par1or, where she
played the piano and sang with such
culture and winning sweetness that
forgot I was in the presence of a
poultry raiser.
That night as we drove slowly
through the streets by the brilliantly
lighted stores, which were filled with
pale-faced, tired, care-worn shop
girls behind the counters, who were
working long hours for small salaries
in air poisoned by heat, dirt, crowds
and by the dyes in the goods, [ could
not help contrasting their miserable,
s1avish lives with the free life of the
strong, healthy poultry raiser by my
side with her silvery voice, her rosy
face and laughing eyes.
Returning home and meditating
upon the events of the day, con-
cluded that poultry raising was an

100000 Cattle Deal.

A cattle deal was consummated last
week in Fort Myers involving the
sum of $4,000, whereby 1000 head
of fine beef cattle were transferred to
w. H. Hooker, of Arcadia, from Mes
srs. Jas. E. Hendry, Sr, and B. L.
Hendry of Fort Myers.
The cattle, says the Fort Myers
Breeze, are to be delivered to Mr..
Hooker, in DeSoto county, where they
will be placed temporarily upon his
ranch in that county, and afterward
shipped to the Cuban market for sale.
The cattle are said to be excellent
beef cattle, which is evident from the
fact that the average price of SIS per
head was paid for them

Corn as Food for Humans.

While large sums are being spent
each year to induce the European ma
tions to buy and use corn as food for
human beings, its use in this country
is declining. There are people still
living who can remember when corn
bread and corn meal mush were COM
ION articles Of diet on the tables of
the majority of the people.
The Department Of Agriculture has
issued bulletin showing something
of the value of corn as food. The
following extracts from it were made
by Coleman's Rural World:

interesting information about this i'm

corn, though a wholesome and very
useful foodstuff. which may be cooked
in many ways. is not likely to replace
wheat as a leading breadstuff where
the latter can be obtained, as wheat
bread is commonly considered to be
more aDDetizing for everyday use and

T., times Of distress people have
lived on corn alone for considerable
periods. but. like other grains, it con-
tains too little protein in proportion to
it's fat and carbohydrates to supply the
body with nutritive material in the
proper proportion. and it should be
combined with materials rich in pro-

Dr.. True, of the agricultural de-
partment, with headquarters in
Washington, was a prominent visitor
in the city Wednesday. He is in
charge of the experiments being
made in camphor growing in the
Satsuma and Huntington sections
under the supervision of the National
Government. A syndicate recently
purchased a tract of 5000 acres near
Satsuma Heights, and this land is
now being cleared preparatory to
planting camphor trees. The COM
pany is said to have good financial
backing, and if the experiment proves
success another industry of no
mean proportions will be added to the
many resources of Putnam county.

PLAN CAUSES TROUBLE.
kinq Edward Placed in Embarrassing
Position by Controversy.

London. Aug. 20.-The plan of Pre-"
mier Botha of the TranSvaal to pre-
sent the Cullinan diamond to King Ed
ward meets with much criticism both
in England and the Transvaal. The
finances of the colony are i'm q bad
condition ad many people think that
the EXPENSE is unnecessary. More
over the magnates of the Premier
Diamond Mining Co. have found the
Cullinan diamond to be white ele-
phant. There is no market for such
large stones
The Premier people are political sup
porters of Gen. Botha'S party and
critics say that if the stone belonged
to the De Beers Co. which is an OPP
ponent of General Botha. there would
have been no thought of presenting the
diamond to the King. adding that the
Botha party want to gain the credit
for patriotic act while putting mon
cy from the treasury in the pockets of
their friends at a time when the colony
can i'll afford such luXurics. The con-
trovcrsy places King Edward in an
embarrassing position.
