The two other roads building out of Pensacola are
the Pensacola, Mobile New Orleans, with track laid
for thirty three miles and eighteen ready for the
STEEL and the Pensacola and Memphis, with six miles
graded. Coming into the city sooner or later is the
Florida and Alabama which is being constructed from
Bagdad the upper bay to Andalusia, Ala, where
it will connect with the Central of Georgia. This is
standard road in all respects and will be great
feeder for Pensacola.
These the substantial beginnings of Pensacola as
the tidewater terminus for railroads. Every new line
built hereafter toward the gulf will have to reckon
with the Deep Water Port.

FOWLS SUITABLE FOR FARM
Old Farmer Says He Has Never Seen

Many farmers have hobbies and pet

One person wants fowls for the pro

The farmers flock should be pro-
life without sacrificing other quail
ties. They should be good table fowls.
To satisfy mis- requirement they must
be of good size, plump and Of good ap-
pearance when dressed. They must
be hardy and good toragers, as there
is much waste food On the farm that
can be converted into cash returns
by the fowls. The hens must be good
sitters and mothers. as many farmers
are not ready to buy incubators--al-
though they should do so at once.
These are questions that are being
studied by the careful. and each In
dividual will have TO determine the
matter for himself. An old farmer
who is now OF the active list, but still
lives on the farm and raises poultry
as a diversion says he visited many
poultry shows just to inspect some
OF the best birds Of the new varieties,
and he says that he has never seen
anything better than the Plymouth
Rock and Wyandotts varieties for real
business stock. He said: You can
tell inquirers that these two breeds
are still at the top. and there are
enough varieties Of them to please
any sensible person. As to individual
taste, the old Indian said II men were

should be nothing left to be sought

REAR CALVES ON SKIM MILK


There has grown up q necessity for
the application Of economic methods
In beef production. Though feeders
may be produced from cows with
calves at the side on large areas Of
cheap grazing land. 1t 10 doubtful
whether this method can be success
fully employed on the average farm
operated under an intensive system.
In this case more revenue must be
secured from a COW during the year
than that produced In the feeder

product Of the mother rearing It.
1t is true that the pedigreed ami.

reared for sale, for breeding or for

higher price they bring. The rearing
Of cheap feeders by the pail method
has become an important question
with the beef producers.
Dairymen. Of necessity, have long
practiced rearing calves on skim milk
supplemented by grain, hay, silage
etc., and some have even dispensed
with skim-milk feeding In quite q
large measure.
