P OUL R Y
BY w. L. Witch. Jr.

Last week gave a little general
advice on mating the breeding pens,
which trust someone derived benefit
from. In making up the breeding pens.
however careful consideration should
be given to the vigor OF the birds used,
and no bird should be used in the
breeding pen that is not Chuck full'
Of vigor.
Go over the birds carefully and take
out any that show the least signs Of
a weak constitution, as nothing will
bring on trouble quicker than breed
Ing from birds with weak constitu-
tons. IN fact, a strong constitution
Is the only foundation for a successful
poultry business.
A hen to lay many eggs must be
able 10 digest and assimulate a large
quantity Of food and she cannot stand
up under heavy feeding long without
constitution strength, nor can a bird
grow q nice velvety coat OF feathers
without strength Of constitution to
enable it to digest and asslmulate
enough feed to keep up the wear and
tare on the system and at the same
time make the new coat Of feathers,
as the feather. as also the egg, is made
directly from the feed. so it is easy
to see that bird to be profitable
must have q strong constitution. and
another important fact is that strong,
vigorous chicks that are easy to raise
can orIIy be Matched from eggs from
strong, vigorous stock, so it is there
fore very important that in mating
our breeding pens we use only birds
that are very vigorous.
After we have mated the breeding
pens and have our best birds in them
It is important that we give them the
necessary attention to maintain their
vigor and secure the best results from
thems so we should therefore give
them comfortable quarters and keep
their houses, drinking vessels and
yards In clean sanitary condition,
supply them with clean fresh water,
give them sound feed in variety and
keep them busy and contented and we
we should be well repaid for the time
spent In their care.
Plenty Of Grit.
Grit ghould be kept before the birds
at all times, as It Is an absolute me-
cessity that they have good, sharp grit
to grind their feed
At this season Of the year green
grass Isl a scarce article and we should
therefore try to give the birds green
food in some form. turnips or cabbage
leaves are good, or better and more
convenient may be sprouted oats,
which can be kept on hand at
all times. Secure some shallow
boxes about two inches deep, bore
several holes In the bottom of each
box. Now soak q. bucket of oats over
night lin water and next morning
spread the oats out into the shallow
boxes about an inch deep, cover each
box over with sacking and place them
where they will be moderately warm
and each day pour a little water over
each box. in a few days the oats will
begin TO sprout and win grow sur
prisingly fast and can be fed to the
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1912-01-07

fowls for green feed which it will be
found they win eat greedily. When
one OF the boxes is empty soak more
oats over night TO be placed in the
box the next morning, and in this way
continuous supply of green feed
can be had.
Also Feed Meat.
It is also advisable to feed meat in
some form, to take the place of bugs
and worms that the fowls are unable
to find at this season. either fresh
meat cut fine or run through a meat
ginder, or the commercial meat
scrap that can be procured from most
any feed house is excellent. The fowls
should have a small quantity Of this
each day, while the green feed should
be fed to them plentifully.
A very good way to supply the meat
is to makeNa dry mash as follows: Six
parts Of dry bran. three parts Of corn
meal and one part of meat scrap, mix
thoroughly and keep before the fowls
50 that they may eat it at VIII. They
will not over eat OF this and as it
is bulky It will not be necessary to
feed them so much grain as would
otherwise be necessary.
With the above mash before the
birds at all times, a small feed of oats
scattered in the litter mornings so
that they viii have to work scratching
it out, and good feed of wheat or
mixed feed in the afternoons so they
will have to work an hour or so
scratching it out and a good supply
OF green feed at noon should keep
them in good condition and filling the
egg bucket too, provided they are
comfortably housed and the surround
ings kept clean.
Care For the Chicks.
Now that the Matching season is
close at hand we should begin to get
everything in readiness to take care
OF the chicks we are going to hatch
Don't wait until the chicks are hatch
ed and force them to roost in the
hen-house where they will be trampled
ON by the older fowle before getting
them coop ready, but clean out all
the old coops beforehand and disin-
feet them and if there are not enough
to take care OF the chicks we intend
to hatch, build new ones SO that as
fast as a brood is taken from the
nest there will be a place ready for
them. Scald out the drinking foun-
talns and have everything ready in
due time and many chicks viii be
raised that would otherwise. be lost
from neglect.
If the readers Of this column de-
sire any information on poultry topics,
the writer will be glad to answer any
question through this column and will
| take pleasure fl giving any assistance
nossibfe To th0Se interested In noI1l-
try, for there is no reason why this
section could not be one of the greatest
poultry sections Of the country, for we
have the most ideal conditions nat
uralIy for poultry raising that can be
found anywhere, and we would like
to see the poultry business in this
section grow.

Tallahassee. Fla, Jan. 6.--The ST.
tpreme court handed down q decision
today In the Wales case, Affirming
the judgment OF the lower court,
which means another defeat for
Wales. The WALES claim was thor
oughly threshed out in the legislature
of 1908 and $4,000 was appropriated
for Wales and the Beard estate
jointly.
Wales refused to accept that as
settlement and 1t has remained in the
state treasury and with each sue
ceeding legislature WALES has tried 10
get larger allowance. Failing in this,
he applied to Judge Malone for a writ
Of mandamus ordering the comptroller
to audit the claim.
Judge Malone denied the application
and an appeal was taken to the SUI
preme court. The court affirmed Judge
Malone's decision. The opinion was
prepared by Justices Cockerel, Taylor,
Hooker and Shackleford and was con-
Cured in by the entire court.
Chief Justice Whitfield took no part
In preparing the decision for the rea-
son that while attorney general he
gave an opinion to the governor on
one phase OF the matter.

The NORTHERN
MEN SCORED
IN PLAIN TALK
PENSACOLA NEGRO, IN
SPEECHES IN ALABAMA AND
GEORGIA GOES AFTER THE
PHiLANTHRoPIsTs AND THEIR
MANNER or GIVING.

G. W. Lewis. principal of the Color
ed Normal and Industrial School of
Pensacola. has been making speeches
in North, Alabama and Atlanta, Ca,
recently. In speech few nights ago
he scored northern philanthropists for
the way they had been giving money
for the education Of southern negroes.
He claimed that these philantkfepists
had made much and are making seri-
Gus mistakes by giving large sums of
money in two or three places and that
better results would be had If these
gifts were divided into smaller
amounts and put in more places.
He argued that the great masses
of negroes never would go away from
home to school and, therefore, there
should be good literary and industrial
schools in places where the population
is sufficiently large. He said that Is
per cent of almost all the schools and
colleges are local
The speaker said that negroes should
turn their attention to the farms: for
such would alleviate many of the ills
that now hung about their necks. He
argued that the farms would remove
the negro from the cities where sc
many Of them go into crime; the
farm would prevent so many Of the
diseases that make such fearful in
roads on the negro race. He COM
pared the death rate of the present
with the death rate in the days OF
slavery to substantiate his claim.
The speaker said that on the farms
the negro would be a producer. which
is the highest and most valuable
quality of a being. He startled his
audience when he said that he who
produces is the nearest akin to God;
tina. to be man of production was to
be superior to angels. for angels dc
not produce, their productive period
being over. He claimed further that
the earth held in her embrace riches
beyond measure. riches to be had fol
the asking-by sweat and toll.
He showed by carefully prepared
statistics that on the. farm negroes
are fast becoming elf-sustaining. He
said SO per cent of the farms Of
Florida are owned by negroes; Of
Georgia 40 per cent; Alabama AZ pei
cent: louisiana so per cent, and Mis-
sissippi So per cent.

TO
GET $3.50 FOR
HIS SERVICES
THIS AMOUNT EscAMsIA is TO
PAY NEW YORK ARCHITECT
FOR CHECKING UP WORK ON
NEW COUNTY JAIL BUILDING.

According to the check which has
been drawn by the clerk of the board
OF county commissioners, but which
has not yet been paid. the amount
paid to Architect Geo. NJ. Hopkinson
for checking up the work on the new
county jail building is $3.50. This is
the gross amount to be paid the archi-
tect by the county and he is to pro-
vide for his EXPENSES out OF this
amount
Since It became known that the
services of this architect had been Sc
cured by the board Of county commits
sionerss there has been a considerable
amount OF speculation as to how much
he was to receive for his services and
up to yesterday this fact remained a
secret to all save the board OF COM
missioners and the architect.
The clerk has drawn the check, as
stated, but has not paid same yet and
Is awaiting some legal advice before
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1912-01-07

The speaker appealed to his audi
ence to start a movement that would
employ agents whose duty it would
be to go through southern cities and
by lectures and personal talks get
negroes to forsake the cities for the
farms.
The speaker closed with a powerful
appeal to the white and colored people
to work together for the whole good
of the south and the building of
its resources.
