THE CITY WITH A GREAT FUTURE

One Of the most influential and
best informed men in Florida, man
of affairs and who keeps his ear on
the ground, remarked the other day
that in his opinion LAKELAND will
have a population Of over $4,000 in
less than ten years.
Do you know what this means Mr..
Visitor and Investor? It means that
LAKELAND city property will ad-
vance in value and that now is the
time to buy home or a lot.
LAKELAND is the metropolis Of
Polk County, the County that leads in
phosphate production and CITRUS
FRUITS; the County that can be
easily made to lead in syrup and
sugar production, live stock, dairying
and general farming WHAT A FU-
TURE HAS LAKELAND! WHAT A
FUTURE HAS POLK COUNTY AND
THE STATE OF FLORIDA!
The legitimate real estate man has
been a great factor in the develop
ment of Florida; he is likewise a.
strong factor in the upbuilding Of
Lakeland.

VACCINATION OF SMALL PIGS
nifty Up to a Period Of Nine
Months, Says Iowa.

Hog cholera vaccination Of pigs a
week TO six weeks old by simultane-
Gus incubation gives an immunity up
to a period Of nine months. accord
ing to the Iowa experiment station.
In the experiment a total of III
immune pigs were treated. During
the test three Of the pigs died from
other causes, but none from cholera.
No i'll effects from simultaneous inocu-
lation was apparent on any Of the
pigs.
Serum was injected in the follow
ing proportions: Pigs one week old
received 10 c. c. Of anti-hog-cholera
serum and one-half C. c. Of virus. Pigs
three weeks or more received from Is
to 20 c C. Of serum and from one-half
20 three-fourths C C Of virus.
All pigs were tested with Eve C. c.
OF virus at the end OF the period the
protection HsS lasting.

BUTIERMILK GOOD FOR PIGS
Very Little Danger Of Overlooking An
finals Provided Some Grain Is
Given Daily.

Several years ago at the Iowa sta
ton they fed spring pigs al the but
termilk they would drink, together
with corn and tankage from self-feed-
ers. These pigs averaged about four
gallons Of buttermilk per head daily,
together with about two and one-half
pounds Of corn and one-seventh Of a
pound OF tankage. But they used the
buttermilk to excellent advantage,
gaining one and one-half pounds per
pig daily as compared with one and
one-tenth pounds for the pigs on self
feeders Of corn and tankage with no
buttermilk
Buttermilk has an almost identical
feeding value with skim-milk and we
may conclude therefore that there is
very little danger of overlooking pigs
on either skim-milk or buttermilk, pro-
vided at least two or three pounds of
grain per pig daily are fed in addi-
ton.

RAYLESS GOLDENROD
POISONOUS TO STOCK
"AIkaIi Disease" Has Caused
Many Fatalities.
Investigations Carried on In New Mex
leo, Texas and Authenticated
Cattle Are Usually the Ones
First Affected.

Following investigations of a live
stock ailment commonly known as sal
kali disease or milk sickness" the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture has found the rayleSs gOldenrod
to be the probable cause. Experimental
work with this plant produced symp-
toms corresponding. to those character
istic of this disease. Investigations
by the department included regions in
New Mexico, Texas, and Arizona where
''alkaIi disease" has caused many
fatalities among domestic animals.
The rayless goldenrod is known to
botanists as Isocoma wrightii; in Ari-
IONA cGttlemen sometimes call 1t "'jim
my weed
DR.. c. D. Marsh, poisonous plants
specialist for the bureau of animal
industry, has found the plant to be
poisonous to cattle, sheep, and horses.
Among cattle, typical symptoms are
drowsiness and weakness. If the an
finals become excited or attempt to
travel far their motions become perky
and their legs seem TO give way. Some
are unable to get up after falling. The
latest cattle are usually the ones
first affected. Considerable numbers
of work horses and stock horses have
died in the regions mentioned from in
huences now attributed to the rayless
goldenrod. Horses frequently died in
from one to three days after show
ing symptoms Of poison. Sheep show
symptoms similar to those of cattle
and horses, and it is also likely that
burros are poisoned by the same plant.
The rayless sgoldenrod is a stout
perennial herb commonly growing
about feet high, though under
favorable circumstances it may reach
a height of feet or more. The heads
are numerous and have yellow flow
ers.
To prevent losses from this poison
Gus plant, the department points out
the feasibility Of graduating it from
pastures When dug out to a depth
OF or inches it seldom reappears /;
this plan of eradication is practicable
where the growth is not too extensive.
Where plants are too numerous TO be
dug. reliance must be placed in NOV
ing the animals so that they can get
no more of the poison and may receive
an abundance OF good feed.

potency and on the quality Of the
colts he gets. The opinion Of disinter-
ested horsemen together with the stall
lions show winnings will aid in max
ing a good selection.
Weight is an indispensable quality
In a draft stallion, although it should
not offset q deficiency IN other re-
spects. In the lighter stallion style,
smooth lines and swift, Bell-balanced
action are necessary to improve the
light horse stock. In any breed good
feet, clean, fat bone, free from meati-
ness, weIl-defned hooks, good DISPOSE
ton, quality, animation and breed
characteristics are well worth looking
for In the sire.
1t is poor policy to use anything but
a sound purebred stallion free from
manifest faults Of conformation and
OF the same breed or type as the
mare. 1t must be borne in mind, too
that a stallion that is not properly
fed and exercised is not likely to get
a large proportion of strong, healthy
colts. In short, too much care can
not be exercised in securing a suit

fundamental law that generally holds

hard meated but, being very short
feathered. has it's special place as a
large meat-prOducing fowl in souther-
ly sections where the more heavily
feathered Brahma does not stand the
summer well.
Among the popular breeds Of the
general-purpOse class there are also
differences in type, adapting breeds
TO different uses. The Plymouth Rock
is generally regarded as the type
meeting the widest range of require
ments in the generai-purpOse class.
The WyandOtte is a little smaller
and earlier maturing. but still very
well meated and easy to fatten
The Rhode Island Red has nearly
the same standards of weight as the
Wyandotte, but is a more active bird,
not putting on fat so readily. Conse-
quently, 1t approaches the laying type
and is most popular with those who
want eggs and meat, but want eggs
most
The Orpington is at the other ex-
IRENE in the general-purpose class,
being a heavier, meatier fowl than
the Plymouth Rock.
Such a list of breeds affords so
wide a range of choice that poultry
keepers can always select a standard
breed better adapted to their local
ity and their purpose than any non
standard stock they can procure, say
poultry specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture. A
flock of standardized fowl will have
the further advantage of reproducing
true to type.

STANDARD BREEDS OF FOWLS
Poultry Keeper Should Select Breed
Besr Adapted to His Purpose
and Locality.

Leaving out of consideration the
breeds kept as novelties, all the
standard American breeds of fowls
have been made and developed on
the general principle of practical
quality as the foundation of breed
character and value. In harmony
with this principle, the common
classification of breeds according 10
their places in the general scheme or
poultry production divides them into
three principal classes: laying breeds,
meat breeds and general-purpose
breeds-that is, breeds that are not
as ready and persistent egg producers
as the laying breeds, and not as
meaty and as easy to fatten as the
meat breeds, yet combine in one indi-
vidual fowl very good laying capacity
with very good table quality.
The Leghorn, Minorca, Andalusian,
Ancona and Campine are well-known
breeds of the laying class; the Brah-
ma, Dorking, and Cornish Of the meat
class; the Plymouth Rock, Wyan-
dotte, Rhode Island Red and Orping-
ton of the general-purpose class.
The breeds of the laying class. with
the exception Of the MinOrca, are
relatively small. very energetic and
lively, mature early, and are easily
kept in good laying condition. The
MinOrca is OF larger size and mOdi-
fed somewhat in the other particu-
lars mentioned, yet has more the
character of the laying class than OF
any other.
