Develop a New Chicken Market.

Develop a New Chicken Market.
Farmers who have a number of
roasting-size chickens ready to sell
z to commission men might get bet
ter price for them by selling to town
or city jewellers. Such prospective
buyers can be found readily by using
a little advertising space in the home
town newspaper, and a good business
be developed.
Many city dwellers have a small
yard and house for poultry where
they keep few birds to fatten on
table and kitchen scraps Such peo-
pie prefer birds of the roasting size
keeping small flock of them so they
may pick out bird when needed
They usually buy a half dozen OF
more at one time and will pay more
for them than the farmer can get
from the commission man ordinarily
Plant Now For Spring Pasture.
Spring pasture is more scarce dur
ing April and May than at any other
time of the year on account of the
dry condition of the soil. A. P. Spen-
Ger, of the University of Florida ex-
tension division, says that the plant
ing at once of rape, oats and rye in
the state from Gainesville south will
provide the necessary green feed for
hogs until May 1.
There are other cops that may be
substituted for these. 1t is import
ant to plant early enough so that
the crops may develop a root system
sufficient to Withstand the spring
