FLORIDA LANDS.

Florida, has millions of cut
over" lands-that is lands from
which the timber has been cut.
This land is lying idle. and is
therefore profitless to its owners,
and to the state at large. 1t taxes
on these lands were high, it
would be too expensive in some
instances, to warrant holding
them. AS they are low they yield
very little revenue to the state or
the counties in which they are
located.
There are hundreds of owners
of lands of this class, who could
well afford to organize them
selves into body to secure farm
ers to develop these lands and
put them in cultivation. Most
of them are susceptible of culti-
walton and being made profitable
to the owners and to the state at
large.
Florida could cooperate with
such a movement on the part OF
the owners, by furnishings soil
experts, and state representa-
tives who could easily classify
the lands, and prepare statements
signed by such representatives Of
the state, thus assuring the pub
lie of the kind and class of lands
to be sold and the things they
would produce. Each tract
could have separate soil analy-

To begin such a movement and

profits that could be made out Of
the handling of such lands.

WINTER GRAIN
CROP FOR SOUTH
ERN POULTRY

The poultryman who is alive
to the possibilities of his calling
will not neglect to plant some
winter grains to help out on his
feed bill. We have passed the
experimental stage, the only
question now staring US in the
face is the wise selection of cropS
and the proper preparation of the
soil. Its comes in almost every
system of crops rotation of the
South. whether it be corn, oats
and cotton or con and oats.
Winter legumes make up an
important item in the feed bill,
and should not be neglected.
The most costly thing we can do
as famers it to buy our foodstuffs
with money earned from other
sources, especially when ; SO
many acres of idle land are at our
very doors, washing and teaching
forw ant Of a winter over-crop.
If we once get started, it will be
comparatively easy for us to
grow the largest part of our
needs in this line here. The
weather and climate are ideal
and everything is in our favor.
Besides this, those sections OF the
country that have been supply
ing our needs are becoming so
burdened trying to supply their
own wants as well as ours that
their prices have gone to $28 and
$50 a ton for hay that we can
raise here for less than Sc per
ton. AS a food for poultry sor.
ghum and kaflir corn rank high,
and are easily made in our state.
Millet is another crop that may
be fed to advantage to a certain
extent. and we have absolutely
no excuse for sending out to
other sections for that which we
can so readily produce at home,
with so little labor and expense.
1t is time for It's to get busy.

The same conditions holds

in the lamp and that only for a
few days or week at the most,
then the chicks can take care OF
themselves; aha III the spring OF
the year a fireless brooder Will
answer the purpose to a nicely.
We have now cut down the
feed bill and the cost OF incuba-
ton and brooding and should be
on our way to have nice flock
coming along, in all Of which we
have the advantage of our north
ern brethren. But we still have
another advantage and that is the
ability to raise chicks at time
when all the rest of the world
sleeps, so to speak.
Most of the Matching in Flor
ida is done in the winter and ear
ly spring months and we are
ready to supply broilers and
fryers before the other fellow
commences to hatch, hence we
get a better price for them and
there are times in the year when
one can go down Franklin street
in Tampa with a load of broilers
and get his own price for them,
but they always command a
market at Is cents to 90 cents
each year, while eggs will aver

can you doubt that this is a
"poultryman's paradise" Come

you have the get up in you and
the good sense to buy good heal

ability to hatch off stock at an
early part of the year we are able
to get fine matured specimens
ready for showing to take or
send to the fall fairs up north
and win with them, while our
more unfortunate brothers are
still taking care of the brooder
house, and the competition in
northern shows is getting to be
such that no man expects to win
without matured specimens; and
where will they have to come
for these specimens? Can you
guess? / can.
Then there is also the fact
staring US in the face that Flor
ida is fast settling up as an agri-
cultural state and every new set
tier coming here usually wants
to get good breeding stock to
start a flock with. This again
gives the poultryman chance to
sell his wares, SO with the abili-

THE POULTRYMAN'S PAR.
ADISE-FLORIDA.

Well, l should say SC.
This question however ha:
been asked a thousand times an6
when We consider what Florida
has done until the past few years
t is little wonder that this ques.
ion is asked, for Florida has been
dormant for years as a poultry
state, and like other industries
!, that have been neglected is just
awakening to her birthright.
That we can raise chickens in
Florida is eviduce by the fact
that a certain breeder of the state
has exhibited his fowls all owe,
the southeast and central states
and has never failed to take of
the majority of the blue ribbons
at each and every show and at
some has been "hog" enough to
take all the blues in all the va
rieties that he breeds, and at one
show won sweepstake cockerel
with a bird about FIVE months old.
All this is not said for the ben
eft of that breeder but simply to
show that we can raise chickens
in Florida, and that FIVE months
old bird is sufficiently developed
to win over older birds raised in
other states that should have
been more mature for their age.
Now let It's see why we can
i raise chickens here that are ma
tured at an early age. Primarily
one of the first essentials to
chicken raising is good range and
fresh air. 70 rfowls that are raised
in closed doors with poor venti-
lation are always delicate and
weak, whereas chicks raised in
the open are just the contrary.
But the northern breeder cannot
raise his chicks out of doors, at
least, not the early Matched, for
the severity of the northern
winters and early springs will
not permit of this.
Our ability to raise green feed
twelve month in the year is an
other important factor in chick
development, for nothing beats
greens for both mature and
young chicks.
Now let US consider the cost of
chick production and see if this
is not verily"a poultryman's par
adise."
70 start with let us take the
breeding stock. Fed on plenty
of good green food they produce
good eggs and plenty of them
with the strongest vitality posi-
BILE in the germ, which in turn
produces strong, healthy chicks
that grow off into fine robust
specimens; thus insuring the
health of the breeders. The
green food should be one-half of
a chicks diet and can be supplied
in the form of collards. cabbage,
lettuce, celery tops, rape, ruta-
baga, ETC., and can be grown at a
very minimum of expense. Green
food not only furnishes nourish-
'nent but bulk also, which is es-
sential to chick and helps to
'tecp down the grain bill; hence
he cost Of production in the
feeding end of the game is no
more. or even less, than the cost
If feeding chicks where the grain
grows.
tn" next item Of expense to
is the incubation and
,rooding.
VI this is done arti6cially
then one can readily understand
'vhv in this climate where we
seldom have any cold weather,
The cost of operating an incuba-
tor is very. little, for the flame
need not be turned up very high
