The Florida agriculturist., 1910-02-01

We are printing letter in this issue
which we wrote to the Industrious Hen
in answer to a number of questions
about conditions here. Such letter
must be, of necessity very brief and so
many things left unsaid that might
mean success Or failure to the Individual
we believe it would be great help to
these newcomers and to all poultry
workers in this State if the poultry men
now successfully engaged in the busi
ness here in Florida either on a small Or
larger scale, would write of their exper-
ience, of the peculiar conditions in their
localities that they have successfully
mastered, how they raise the little
chicks-with incubators and brooders or
with hens, what they feed and the feed
stuffs that they find profitable to raise,
how they have developed a market for
their product.
Much information from poultry work
ers outside of Our State is valuable to
us, but it is the word from a neighbor
worker who has just Our conditions to
meet that means the most to us.
So we feel quite hopeful that many
who read this issue of the Agriculturist
will take their pen in hand and write
the poultry editor of their work, know
ing that by so doing they will be greatly
furthering the work in Our State and
helping many outside of the State who
are hesitating about beginning work
here.
We are copying, also, this month an
article from The Southern Ruralist, in
which several persons do not seem to
have found poultry raising profitable on
account not having good market. This
is an important point to consider. But
good salesman can usually develop
market unless conditions are very un-
favorable This we can realize by study
ing how it has been done in other parts
of our country and especially how it is
being done in England. The quality of
the product is of great Importance and
its prompt delivery in good condition.
In all business, mercantile or manu-
featuring, to produce the goods is i'm
portant, but to make people realize that
they want the goods produced and can't
get on without them is most important,
and so it is in the poultry world, through
advertising, or special ability as sales
man, Or excellent business methods, we
must make the people realize that they
want and must haze fresh eggs and good

age of maturing. At the end of that
time only the Rhode Island Reds and
White Leghorns remained as 'the SUR
vival of the fttest"
Then as the greatest success has al
ways been made in speciality work, and
as the Leghorns did not quite come up
to the Rhode Island Reds in vigor, we
decided to keep only the later breed
At one time we had to again do much
work already done in establishing good
laying strain, by not being sufficiently
diligent in selecting the necessary new
blood We have found that even greater
consideration must be given to its vigor
and laying qualities than to the beauty
of plumage.
Where very small number of chick
ems is raised annually, Matching with
hens is usually successful, provided the
right breeds are selected, but if many
eggs are to be Matched the necessary
work is greatly reduced if incubators and
brooders are used The financial loss,
in eggs, where a number of hens are
spared for natural incubators," and then
for mothering the young chicks, is quite
an item to be considered on large poul-
try plant The work of watering, feed
ing and keeping setting hens free from
ver1nin greatly exceeds the work of run
ming the incubator Then the danger of
the hens leaving the nest, or breaking
the eggs, or trampling the young chicks,
is overcome when the responsibility for
a good hatch is transferred from her to
good incubator which does none of
these things There is the greatest diff
ference, though, even in individual in
cubators of the same make, so each ma
chine must be carefully experimental
with, its faults remedied, and its ability
to turn out a good hatch Of chickens
than can be raised, proven.
Often the brooder is blamed when the
incubator is at fault and the chicks have
had no chance from the first If the in
cubator with proper care matches a good
number of healthy chicks, the poultry
man has indeed true friend in his poul-
try work. But if one has had all proper
care and the matches are small and
chicks hard to raise, and if the eggs
are beyond question, then if fault can
not be found it would be best to dis
card that incubator at once.
A brooder is a necessity if an 1ncuba-
tor is used We have had excellent sue
cess with an outdoor kind. The eggs
and chickens must not be overheated.

dressed poultry, that they want plenty
of them and can't get on without them.
c.. FRED WARD.
Poultry Management for Florida.

AS pioneers in the poultry industry in
the South we have had to work Our way
ahead carefully and by degrees, and with
many failures and successes have learned
to adapt this business to the conditions
of soil and climate which is very diff
ferent from that Of the North, for which
most of the poultry literature is written,
and which here has often proved more
of a hindrance than help.
The important principle Of ventilation
was one of Our greatest stumbling blocks.
Upon the difference in temperature be-
tween air inside and outside of anything,
be it a brooder, incubator Or rooSting
house, depends the rapidity of the circu-
ation of the air through it. By not fully
realizing this, but using plans for houses,
brooders and incubators adapted to a
colder climate we lost many hatch and
brood and even growing stock. Now we
make larger holes in the incubators, re-
move all felts and obstacles to free cir
ulatiOn of air; make the brooderS more
roomy and with more openings; and the
roosting houses open entirely to the
South and partly to the East, never
ver-crOWding them.
Also the necessity for absolute clean1i-
ness in this latitude had to be proven.
In moist, warm climate vernin will
multiply with great rapidity, so it is very
essential to keep the brooders cleaned
out daily, and the hen houses twice
week. the roosting material we'll busted
with good lice killer, and the setting
hens also. The houses should be sprayed
with lice-killing solution once in two or
three weeks. This may seem too much
work, but if not done the poultry busi-
ness here will become anything but a
pleasure.
In selecting the breed best adapted to
this climate we made very careful ex-
periments. Pens of several varieties were
purchased from reliable breeders, espec-
ial attention being paid to vigor and lay
ing qualities.
The fowls were placed in runs, side by
side, under exactly the same conditions,
and careful records kept for two or
three years. Gradually one breed after
another was given up as it fell behind
the others in laying ability, vigor and

At the present time there appears
to be tendency for fewer glasses to
be used at dinner than formerly Peo-

The use of colored glasses is on the
decline, says the Gentlewoman, for as
noted before the wine itself should

Designers have combined in their de-

two colors whenever a woman can
wear them. One fabric in lavender is
draped into another fabric of blue. or
two shades of blue and two of laven-

THE PUMA AND ITS PREY.

Ease With Which q Patasonian Lion
kiIled. a Colt.
The puma is SO fond Of horsenesh
that in Patagonia 1t is difficult to
breed horses. as the colts are killed by
this American lion. A native told the
author of "The Naturalist In La
Plata" that ON one occasion while
driving his horses home through a
thicket puma sprang out OF the
bushes to the back Of colt following
behind the troop.
The puma alighted directly on the
colts back. with one fore foot grasping
its shoulder, while with the other 1t

wrench, dislocated the neck. The colt
fell to the earth as If shot
Next to horseflesh. the puma prefers
mutton. He does not like veal. al
though he will kill a calf upon occa-
sion. A cunning puma which on cloudy
nights raided a sheep ranch used as a
place Of concealment the pen where a
dozen calves were kept while it was
waiting to attack the sheep, but it did
not injure a calf.
Pigs when in large herds defy the
puma by massing themselves together
and presenting serried line of tusks.
The ass also resists successfully the
puma's attack. When assaulted 1t
thrusts its head between its fore legs
and kicks violently until the puma is
driven or thrown OF.
One day an Indian while riding saw
a young COW watching his approach.
Her manner showed that it was in a
state Of dangerous excitement. and the
Indian conjectured that some beast of
prey had killed its calf. He began
searching for the calf's body. While
thus engaged the COW repeatedly
charged him. Presently he discovered
the calf lying dead among the long
grass and by its side dead puma with
large wound Just behind the shoul-
der
The calf had been killed by the
puma. for its throat showed the
wounds of large teeth. The COW had
driven one of its long. sharp horns into
the puma's side while it was sucking
the calf's blood.
