FALL WORK WITH POULTRY.
Selection of the Laying Stock for
This Years Hatching,

Selection OF the Laying STOCK Tor
This Years Matching.
In Florida we must begin our
Matching early, for the pullets that
will be laying for us next fall must
be Matched in January and February.
Then, too, the little chicks do so
much better, through the cooler
weather, if they have proper care.
The ones Matched in late spring and
summer grow slowly and have little
vitality.
So now is the time to look after
the layers, so that we can be sure of
good fertile eggs from vigorous
stock for mating purposes.
Select good healthy hens or pullets
that have laid their first litter Of
eggs. Young pullets' eggs may hatch,
but the chicks will be disappOint-
ment dying early or giving many
runts. Have good, vigorous rooster
to every fifteen hens and keep the
roosters and their flocks of hens sep
arated, and roosting in separate
houses.
If the hens are two or three years
old purchase a cOckerel. If the hens
are only just matured, mate them
with good cock.
The next thing to consider after
the age and vigor of the stock, is the
purpose for which the young chicks
are being Matched.
If you have q good egg trade, and
that alone, the White LeghOrns are
a most excellent breed to select, but
incubatOrs and broOders will have to
be used for the Matching and raising
as White LeghOrns make. very poor
mothers The Brown LeghOrns lay as
many, but smaller eggs. It is hard
to get a vigorous strain Of Buff Leg
horns.
The Rhode Island Reds lay nearly
as many eggs as the LeghOrns, are
more hardy as breed, and make
good mothers, but are not such great
foragers.
For table fowls, broilers and eggs
the American varieties are best.
Rhode Island Reds, after careful trial
and selection, we consider the best
all purpose fowl for this climate.
The popular Wyandottes and Ply
mouth Rocks are very good fowls.
but are long in maturing and not
such prolific layers and more given
to setting.
The Asiatics, while fine for table
fowls, are too heavily feathered to
do we'll in Florida.
For the farmer who takes pride in
his hens and does net wish a mixed,
ugly looking flock, or no known type
or variety, a good all-purpose breed
should be selected.
From the chickens Matched this
winter and spring, he will next fall
select his breeding hens, and IT
care is taken now he can soon have
a poultry yard to be proud OF.
If he must ''breed up his present
flock, then select the most vigorous
hens, of as uniform size and color as
possible and by a good rooster or two
Of the variety selected. Next year he
can make better selection Of hens

BIG COMBINE Of MILLS
WAGE WAR ON PRICES
Fighting the interests of
Cotton Growers.

Boston, Oct "a gigantic move
ment born of unrest of long standing
is in progress throughout the leading
cotton textile districts of the world
looking towards the general curtail-
ment of production during the remain
ing months of this year and in 1910.
the principal reasons advanced for
the movement being the gradual in
crease in cost of the raw material
and the failure of the dry goods mar
kets to respond in a way which would
assure continued profit to the manu-
facture during the next twelve
months.
On September Is the Arkwright
club of Boston, controlling fourteen
millions out of seventeen millions
spindles in New England, sent out to
all cotton mills in this district, forms
of an agreement for signatures for
curtailment. The proposition calls
for the suspension of work for two
hundred and twenty-four working
hours, the agreement to become ef-
fective when no less than seven mil
lion spindles have been signed up.
The curtailment has also been taken
up by Southern cotton mill owners.
Yesterday the board of governors of
the American Cotton Manufacturers
Association at Charlotte adopted reso-
lutions setting forth their claim that
they resent disparity between the
price of cotton and cotton goods pre-
cludes the possibility of successful
operation of Southern mills. A CON-
mittee was appointed to formulate q
curtailment agreement which every
mill in the South will be urged to sign
in certain cotton producing and SELL
ing centers.
The claim is made that the present
curtailment movement is largely an
attempt to hold down the price of the
staple

SALE OF THE WINDSOR
MONDAY Is ASSURED
Property Goes to Highest
Bidder.

AT the stroke of the noon hour to-
morrow the ownership of the Hotel
Windsor will change, and from the
possession of the stock company that
has owned it for eighteen years it will
pass into the control of some indi-
vidual who will purchase it as an
investment.
Just who the lucky purchaser OF
this splendid property will be can on
ly be determined when the sealed bids
are opened tomorrow.
Promptly at Il O'Clock the accept
ance of sealed bids will close, and all
thus given in 10 Mr.. Crawford Wheat
ley, receiver, will be transmitted at
once OF Judge 2. A. Littlejohn for his
inspection and confirmation
And the bid deemed by the court
as best will be accepted and trans
fer of the porperty effected
Judge Littlejohn will be out of the
city, but the bids will be transmitted
to him at once and doubtless he will
reach 9Th early decision. This is
greatly desired by the hotel company,
as the stockholders are anxious to
effect transfer as soon as it can
be done
1t is expected that the successful bid
will be at a figure between $4,000 and
100000.
In granting the order for the sale
of the hotel the court named $4,000,
net, as the minimum price, but this
order may be altered to some extent,
it is thought.
The sale will excite keen competi-
tion, for while no bids have actually
been handed in as yet, it is known
fact that seyeral-at least three or
four-are held in reserve and will
come in tomorrow at the eleventh
hour, literally, or 1859 at the very
latest moment.

PROFIT OF $1,000 WILL
BE MADE ON FARM
Besides the Smaller Crops
Left UnSOId.

Hon. Jarrett j. Wilson, one OF Sum.
ters former representatives in the
| legislature, a methodical and success
| full planter, was in Americus yester-
| day, looking after the sales of his
| cotton bales and mingling with
friends, of which he has a large
| number, as many, perhaps, as any res
ident of the county.
Quiet and unassuming Mr.. Wilson
never boasts of his accomplishments
in lines agricultural, but it is known
fact that few farmers obtain better
results per acre.
His beautiful and we'll improved
home farm, for it is home in the
fullest sense of the term, is near Les
lie, one of the garden spots of Sum
ter county, rightly termed by the
state at large as the Eden of Geor-
gia."
Mr.. Wilson operates seven pIows,
and the work is done with that thor
oughness characteristic of the owner
in all business affairs. Cotton is
only side crop there, but he raises
cotton, and likewise raises hay, corn,
oats, potatoes and all similar crops,
and his meat supply as we'll.
Never is pound of Western meat
or Western corn bought for the Will
son farm, which, upon the other hand,
has such commodities to sell.
On one measured field of twenty
four acres, Mr.. Wilson raised this year
1900 bushels oats, an average of so
bushels per acre This crop, sold at
so cents per bushel, netted him $3.50,
1t was then planted in peavine hay
yielding ton per acre. This was
sold at $I4 per ton in the field, net
ting 1886.
The two crops from the "a acres
thus netted a total of s1,296 Besides,
&c hogs were fattened on the pastur-
age of wasted grain.
A splendid net yield from patch"
of twenty-four acres. Is it any Won
der that farming pays in Sumter?
This is the 18th successive oat crop
produced upon this land, which next
year will be planted in cotton for
change Mr.. Wilson has in his barns
now corn. hay and fodder made two
or three years ago. while his smoke
house is still well filled with meat
cured last winter.
His farm this year will net him
81 900 cash from cotton, oats and hay
sold, to say nothing of his smaller
crops and meat supply kept for con-
sumption next year.
