In the meantime he continued the

kets and has made quite a bit of money
from his shipments. He grows some
cabbage and watermelons, but he does
not advise the average farmer to at
tempt truck on large scale and do
general farming at the same time. He
says that vegetables must be given
the best care and attention at the
proper time. He is gradually quitting
all truck crops except watermelons.
He plants from 40 to so acres every
year and plants velvet beans in the
melon field at the last cultivation. The
velvet bean is a fine crop for fattening
all kinds of live stock and transfers
large quantities of nitrogen to the
soil.

came to the state in 1884 and began
growing oranges, but did not sell his
Kentucky farm for some years after
he came to Florida. He was quite well
satisfied with his orange-growing ven
ture until the freeze of 1895 killed all
of his trees. This freeze was great
shock and the orange grower did not
know what to do. Mr.. Gaitskill started
to rebud and build up his grove, but
did not feel that it was advisable to
rely upon oranges for everything and
began to grow corn, hay and other
crops for man and beast. Prior to the
freeze he made no effort to grow feed,
but used some of his orange money to
buy everything he needed He soon
learned that he could grow very fine
crops of corn, hay, oats, peas and
other general farm crops and finally
decided to raise good live stock to
consume the crops grown. Having de-
cided to go into the livestock business
he sold his Kentucky farm and bought
an old sugar plantation adjoining his
farm and proceeded to make the grow
ing of pork and beef his main work.

MILK is GOOD FOR CHICKENS
One of Most Valuable Poultry Feeds
Available on Farm-Encourages
Hens to Lay.

The most valuable poultry food
available on most farms is milk. Many
farmers feed all their surplus milk to
the hogs. Milk, when fed to the hogs.
makes flesh that sells for seven or
eight cents pound. When fed to
poultry, especially during the winter
months, it makes eggs that sell for 25
cents pound, and flesh that brings
twice the price ordinarily offered for
hogs. And besides, in discriminating
markets, milk-fed poultry always sells
for premium.
Given all the milk they will con-
sumo, hens will lay well in season and
out of season. One cannot overfeed
of milk. It is safe to keep it before
the hens always.
The vessels in which the milk is fed
should be washed and scalded daily.
Earthenware crooks are the best for
the feeding of milk since they are cas-

He built his silo for the cows and

He grows a great variety Of crops

no fertilizer on his land. He grows
legumincIls crops TO feed the live

"quiet" means. One afternoon she
came into the house merry and noisy

quite a commotion. Her mother, think

a bit of noise nor broken anything. She

Further Investigations of this subject
are in progress, but the present re-
suits would indicate that farmer

SECURE GOOD YIELD OF CORN
Selection, Curing and Testing Are
Three Of Most Important Factors
to Be Considered.

A good yield of corn depends upon
a number of factors, of which three
of the most important are the selec-
ton, the curing and the testing of the
seed. Under average farm conditions,
the proper amount of care taken in Sc
curing the best seed will be more
than repaid.

If only a limited quantity of milk is
