Ed r. DuBose, vice president Of the
Chanberlin- Johnson-DuBose Company,
has for the past six years carried on the
experiments in the breeding of poultry at
his home on Peachtree road, in a most
practical way. As a result of care, at
tention and the use of commonsense he
has developed the DuBose strain OF
White wyandottes, which rank among
the foremost in the country as a perfect
species of this variety Of poultry.
Mr.. DuBose started with a cock and a
few hens of first-class breed. From the
beginning he made study of the fowls,
as we'll as their chickens, from the day
they were Matched until they attained
full growth. He carefully observed the
minutest characteristics as well as the
weaknesses and strong points of his birds
and lost no time in applying remedy
whenever a flaw was discovered.
BY this method each year his stock
was improved. both from the standpoint
of health and perfection in fine points,
and at the present time he believes his
strain of White Wyandottes to be far
superior to the original birds with which
he made his initial step into the breed
ing of poultry.
The DuBose poultry farm is located
several yards in the rear of the beautiful
residence on Peachtree road. At a dis
lance the numerous runs, carefully
screened from each other by wire net
ting, appear to be a perfect labyrinth OF
enclosures On closer view each is seer
to connect with the other by novel screen
gates which permit entrance and egress
at different points.
EIGHT BREEDING PENS.
There are eight large runs used fol
breeding pens in which are to be found
tine specimens of White Wyandottes, q
cock and eight or ten hens to the pen
These large runs are subdivided into two
compartments, the fowls are allowed tc
run freely in one-half of the run, while
grass is allowed to flourish in the Other
half. When one run is found to have
been pretty well eaten down, the poultry
are turned into the adjoining pen and
the grass in the original run is giver
an opportunity to grow unmolested
In this way green food for the poul-
try is available at all times of the yeal
and this particular diet. Mr.. DuBose has
found is absolutely essential where ar
effort is being made to obtain the best
results in breeding and raising poultry.
In addition to the eight breeding pens
there are any number of smaller pens or
the DuBose farm, which are devoted to
extra cocks, pulets, or setting hens
when the necessity arises.

farm differs widely from other poultry

USING NITRATE UNDER THE DRILL
ROW


r. L. w. MilledgeviIle, Ga. writes:
My soil is mostly light gray and not
very strong, and / have concluded to
use a little nitrate Of soda in my guano
under my cotton. Please advise me
what you think Of the following fOrmu-

the analysis would be 9-S-5.
The formula you have suggested for
use on gray land is a very good one,
and contains approximately the percent
age OF plant food indicated in your let
ter. For soils such as you describe
il would probably be better to use a
little more potash. This could easily be
accomplished by substituting muriate IN
place OF kainit. The per cent of nitro
gen might also be increased by cutting
down the cotton seed meal by 20 pounds
and adding nitrate Of soda in its place.

higher per cent Of nitrogen and pot

season some loss would probably result,
but ordinarily you need not disturb
yourself on that account.

Fertilizer formulas for corn and cot

about the right amount to use; If not
then increase the nitrogen to per cent,
