Susan Eliot and her mother, Mrs.
Charles w. Eliot, of Tampa. more than
a year ago.
Ostensibly the reason for making a
selection of property different from
the one now occupied by the make
shift building serving as a temporary
court house is that this lot is too
small for the proposed buildings as
drafted by the architect. 1t is un-
derstood, however, that Clearwater,
fearing that IL it should tear down
the old building to put up the new
would find itself without a court
house which might leave an opening
for further legal controversy as to
where 1t should be built.
The plans for the new building and
most of the minor details have been
worked out For instance, 1t has
been decided that the Judge shall
face north from the bench and the
jury rooms will have southern expos
ures so that in case jury should be
locked cut for the night It win have
plenty of ventilation and coll breezes.

ALL AROUND THE PLACE.

For the prevention of potato scab and
other diseases of the Irish potato a recent
publication of the Department Of Agricul-
ture advises the use of formalin, for
maldehyde or solution of corrosive
sublimate on seed potatoes. 1t says:
1.-The treatment of seed potatoes with
formaldehyde or with corrosive subli-
mate has been recommended for many
wears as a preventive of scab and other
diseases carried on the tubers. Such
treatment is, on the whole, profitable.
but has several limitations which
should be clearly recognized to prevent
cialists of the department. The object
of disinfecting seed potatoes is to de-
stroy the germs of scab and other sur
face parasites which might otherwise
be planted with the seed and infect the
new CROP Only surface infections are
TALLY effective against deep pits of
common scab. Formaldehyde is less eff
fective than corrosive sublimate
against the black sclerotia or resting
and against powdery scah. Neither
chemical. as ordinarily used, will de-
stroy silver scurf. Either one will kill
surface infections of blackleg, but
neither will reach the internal infec-
tions common in tubers from blackleg
hills Neither fusarium wilt nor late
blight infection in potato tubers can be
reached by any seed treatment, nor can
any of the nonparasitic diseases of po-
tatoes, such as mosaic leaf roll and
curly dwarf, be prevented. Clearly.
therefore. the most important precau-
ton against these diseases is to select
clean. disease-free seed potatoes from
healthy, vigorous plants, as determined
by field inspection during the growing
season and at harvest. Seed treatment
should then be applied as an additional

Chicks Must Be Carefully Packed.

Next to the production of strong
chicks, the success of the day-old chick
trade depends upon having them prop
erly packed and carefully handled in
order to insure their safe arrival
Chicks are packed when they are about
twenty-fo hours old, or after they
have become thoroughly dry Special
boxes made of corrugated pasteboard
are used. each box being of such a size
that 1t will hold 100 chicks. The in
terror is divided into four compart-
ments, to prevent injury due to crowd
Baby chicks are usually shipped by
express and should be conspicuously
labeled. The route over which they must
travel should be determined in advance,
and they should be billed and routed
and delivered to the express company
at such atime that they can be gotten
off with the least possible delay. The
purchaser should be notified when chicks
are shipped and it is his duty to get
them from the railroad, and start them
in the brooder as soon as possible

Vigorous Chicks Are Necessary.

Vigorous Chicks Are Necessary.
The first requisite to a successful baby
chick trade Is vigorous, healthy, livable
stock. The husky, vigorous chick de-
ponds upon two very definite factors
first, the quality of the egg which is
used for Matching. and, secondly. the
conditions surrounding the egg during
the Matching period. The operator OF
an incubator who gets unsatisfactory
and discouraging matches often blames
his machines unjustly. All poor matches
are not caused by the failure of the
incubator to do it's work properly, but
frequently by the poor quality Of the
eggs used.
In the operation of the hatchery
there are two fundamentals which must
be followed. One is the careful disin-
lection Of all equipment such as trays,
nursery drawers and the interior of
the entire machine after each hatch
Spraying with a 10 per cent solution of
some reliable disinfectant is best. Sec
ondly, plenty of moisture during the
progress of the hatch is important to
secure good results and to obtain
chicks which are large and heavy and
which will live well. The maintenance
of the proper temperature, the opera
tons of turning, cooling, Gambling, etc,
must be regularly and systematically
attended to.

Boon to Poultrymen and Farmers.

This method of getting ones eggs
Matched is satisfactory, especially If
the hatchery is nearby. Most hatch
cries also make a business of buying
eggs from poultry plants in the vicinity
and selling baby chicks Matched from
them. The prices vary. depending
upon the season, quantity and breed.
Probably the most satisfactory as
pect OF the baby-chick business is
where it is carried on as a side line to
egg farming. There are great many
commercial poultry farms in the east
and west which make the main source
Of their income in market or table eggs,
and in addition to this they breed
strong, vigorous birds and are in a po-
sition to sell large numbers of hatch
ing eggs during the spring. They must
have a large incubator capacity to
hatch the quantity of chicks which they
require for themselves, consequently
they are in a position to hatch and sell
large numbers of baby chicks. They
are produced from stock of known
breeding. and from birds which are
cared for with the one idea Of produc-
ing hatchable eggs. Chicks from such
farms frequently bring from Is to Is
cents each.

There are two special phases OF the
ba by chick business which should De
studied and their various opportunities
appreciated. These are custom hatcn-
ing and the selling of baby chicks as a
side line to egg farming. both OF when
have attained rapid development In
the commercial egg producing sections
of New Jersey. New York and Con-
necticut, and also on the PACING coast
especially in California.
small area of land and a fe"
properly constructed buildings are all
the equipment needed. The owner of
the Matching establishment usually
keeps but limited number OF fowls
himself. The custom hatchery Is gen.
orally equipped with large capacity
mammoth incubator or incubators. and
in some instances small implicated
machines are still used.
The business of these hatcheries Is OF
two distinct kinds-first, the operator
rents the compartments of his incu-
bators to customers at given rate per
egg. The usual price is 3 cents an
egg. If the incubator capacity is large
enough this rental of compartments Of
fers satisfactory remuneration. The
operator or owner of the hatchery is In
no way responsible for the vigor OF the
germ or the fertility of the eggs.
