tidious people, at prices slightly in ad-
vance of the ordinary market prices.
This also means a. ready market for my
eggs when ordinary eggs are almost
drug in the market.
The second reason is that we wanted
bird that was large enough to eat when
occasion demanded. Many people think
the Minorca is small bird, as they have
been used to seeing birds of run down
stocks, whereas the Minorca's weight is
half pound greater than that of the
Wyandotte, though owing to the closer
feathering they do not look as large.
had one cock at the Orlando show that
weighed 91a pounds and three others
weighing 9 pounds.
The third reason is that they are more
easily confined than the Leghorns, which
| have always found to be terrible flyers.
The Minorca is breed that has sur
vived on it's merits. 1t has never been
bred on account of it's fancy featuring,
and is the same today that it was 100
years ago, whereas many breeds in that
time have been created only to die out
in few years because they could not
stand the test of time. Any breed that
has not got really valuable economic
qualities will drop out after few years.
1t is an easy matter to get the pullets
laying by the time eggs begin to fetch
top prices, and dozen eggs in the win
ter are worth three dozen in the early
summer To me glossy, greenish- black
Minorca is the most beautiful of all
fowls, but tastes differ and I should
never advise anyone to try a breed that
does not appeal to them, as it is bound
to prove unsatisfactory.

Why I Keep Black Minorcas.
By Chas. f. Hiley.

I will not begin by saying that Black
Minorcas are the only breed of any merit,
but [ will give few reasons why they
suit me for Florida conditions.
In the first place, rightly or wrongly,
[ have made up my mind that with the
high price of feed in Florida, and the
prices of eggs and poultry considered,
that there is more money in raising eggs
for the winter market at 40 and SO cents
per dozen than in raising broilers at
current prices. Having come to that
conclusion, [ naturally turned to one of
the Mediterranean breeds. That gave me
the Leghorns and Minorcas to choose
from, both of which breeds are notori-
ously good layers.
Having arrived at that point there are
three reasons that decided me in favor
of the Minorcas as being especially
adapted to my conditions. The principal
one is that they lay the largest and
finest eggs of any breed (by actual test),
consequently they are especially adapted
to capture the custom of the most fas

cost of maintenance is small, compared
with the more domestic kind The
mother" instinct is small, perhaps owing
to this cause and the 'hatch" comes out
best when hen sits upon it, with the
proverbial patience of Job. When young
they are somewhat wild and require to
be confined within close wire netted
fences with wide board at the bottom
Once on squawking terms with their
step mothers and becoming familiar with
hen talk, they are said to become very
much attached to her, never leaving her
day Or night even after they are ''grown
up."
AS to their laying they are quite pro-
life in this respect, but, like the turkey,
they will hide their nests unless they
have become domesticated by having the
run of the house lot inclosure. If
Matched by hens they are apt to do as
hens do and will lay their eggs in the
same nests.
The common pearl guinea has darker
flesh than the white variety, which is
unknown in it's native country, the loss
of color being an accident of domestica-
tion which has been taken advantage of
to breed a new variety.
To distinguish between the sexes is
easy for those familiar with this fowl,
but the beginner may, for time, be
misled. The male has a bass voice-if
one may be allowed the term for so un-
musical creature-while the female has
a tenor one. She is the noisy one of
the species, and alone "buckwheats'' the
air. the male never using it.

perfect defense. They know a stranger
at any time and will SET up their clat-
ter day or night, and he is bold chicken
thief who can withstand their discordant
screeching when he invades a poultry
house where guineas are kept.
''Guineas should not be Matched until
continuous warm weather has come, say,
the last of May and during June. The
female guinea usually does not sit un
til later than this. A small flock is
profitable and interesting" w. e. P.
