-g . r nJT V V A THE South of the Virginia line and on to the Gulf in the Atlantic States of this country can be found 'about the same climate aa is prevalent along the Pacific coast south from San Fran Cisco. The State of California, the people of California and the agricul tural interests of California began a number of years ago a determined ef fort to colonise that section of the world with poultry growers. No stone' was left unturned tonake this effort successful; the railroads, the rata - ststiatielana. the agricultural department and the people kept It OULTBY BUILDING SUITABLE afloat, until California has become one of the largest poultry producing states of the country, and San Fran cisco and the Pacific Coast are being supplied with the finest quality of fresh-laid eggs and poultry of all kinds produced at home a supply tirhlch formerly came from east of the Kocky Mountains. We note this for the benefit of the states lying south of the above men tioned line. If the people In these districts, Individually, locally and na tionally, would take held of the up building of the peultry interest, of the growing of all kinds of land and water fowl for market aad the producing of I fresh-laid eggs In winter, it would not , be man years befere the fields of the South would bloom again as In the : olden days when cotton was king, and when the plaster of these districts rolled in wealth enjoying the distin guished attitude of being envied by I all mankind. ' The modus operandi to be pursued In connection with the poultry in dustry is extremely simple, and the only wander is that It is not more generally carried out It appears, however, te need the energetic work Of one or two men In each community to demonstrate to the surrounding farmers the advantage and profit In employing up-to-date methods. The barnyard flock can within - a short time and at n very small expense, be bred up from an average of 60 or 75 eggs n year to a production of 125 or ISO eggs per ben, constituting me (in ference between a loss and a hand some profit from the flock. All It b necessary to do la to decide upon some suitable breed of fowl and Infuse new bleod inte the flock each year by the Im- Kirtation ef a reasonably well-bred cock. j this means not only can egg produc tion be Increased but. If a general purpose breed la selected, a great average In crease In the weight of the fowls will he absolutely assured. In connection with this, nothing could be more profitable to handle than the growing of fruits and market tuff throughout the entire' South. Two ether features of great value, might easily be added; that Is, culti vating squabs for market and keep ing bees for the production of honey and bees-wax. In the local market, bees-wax fells now for almost (40 cents n pound. In the southern or warner climates where winter feeding would not be of long duration, the cultivation ef bees for bees-wax alone .would become n profitable vocation, oven If the extracted ioney were dis tributed among the' neighbors as a gratuitous compliment from the grow ers ef the bees. But the bees must be compelled to build their own - honey-combs, to facilitate which, as well as to have a larger product of bees-wax, the boxes for receiving the honey aheuld be so constructed as to Influence the formation of a large amount of honey-comb or bees-wax In preference to honey.. - If these matters were earnestly taken hold of by the agricultural de partments In every Southern State and pushed as they should be, with a V A MISSISSIPPI i determined effort to aid the upbuild ing of all these Interests throughout these sections, greater wealth would be added thereto thronch the enrich Bient of the soil, ns the natural re . suit of growing of more cattle, swine, rUrttWH a SU - - I I . r . iv .1 (.vl'" J , SOUTH BEST SUITED FOR POULTRY. - BYT. F. McCBEW. K X' - ' : poultry, and stock of all kinds, the presence of which always enriches agd fertilizes the soli, providing that care and attention be given to the eco nomical saving of the manure and a proper distribution of it over the land. The States of Missouri, Kansas and California are samples of what can be done in the upbuilding of the poultry Interests for the elevation of its oeoDle through an increased In come enabling the State to have bet ter schools, better education, oetter homes, and to better improve their lands. Only a short time since there FOR SOUTHERN CLIMATE. was a gathering of representative business men from the South look ing for national aid to the upbuild- Ign of the localities from which they came. Nothing should be more louaiy applauded and approved by the peopletyleld does not hinder fertility, provid- of this country than government aid properly applied throughout the South ern States; but this aid should be so applied as to make the people more industrious and to add to their wealtn HUE AND BARRED PLYMOUTH Ten millions of dollars or more, prop erly expended each year through the medium of agricultural colleges and departments throughout the states, would be a valuable Investment by the National Government for the entire nation, provided these Influences tend ed to upbuild the agricultural and live-stock interests of the South; to teach the growing communities how to care for their lands and their homes in a manner that would return to the soil Its former richness, and to make the products of the ground Increase and multiply and enrich the people. But nothing could be more unfortu nate for any locality than to have sums of money voted to that pur pose and have it made use of foi political advancement and the aid of classes rather than the masses. Fowl Bulletin In Demand. Of the making of Government docu ments there Is no end. 1hlsK too, although the . President has forcibly expressed the opinion that the liter ary output of the departments could be cut one-half. But there are bulle tins and bulletins. "The . Tapeworms of American Chickens and Turkeys," prepared by B. H. Hansom, B. Sc., A. Acting Zoologist, Bureau of Animal industry is one that a city chap might classify as a useless publication. Even though "the Important subject of tapeworms of poultry has received but little attention In this country" the Indi vidual who often mistakes cooked veal for chicken would not sanction the expenditure of public money for such a "ridiculous document" In POULTRY RANCH this he would greatly err. There la scarcely a bulletin, it Is said by mem bers of Congress, that Is in so great demand as the one entitled "The Tapeworms of American Chickens and Turkeys.' , The Fertility otEgzs. In considering the possibilities for a good hatch from a setting of eggs, the fertility of the eggs used la of prime importance. Data regarding the faetora affecting the fertility of eggs are oi great value- in the poultry in dustry, this question having been studied at a number of the experiment stations In the United States and else where. Too warm quarters for laying stock ana overfeeding as well as a cold sea sen axe commonly believed - to exer cise an unfavorable influence on-egg fertility. The way eggs are handled or stored Is also believed to affect the proportion which will hatch, aa well as the conditions under which incuba tion occurs. The vigor and character of the parent stock and the length of time the male bird haa been with the flock are also important At the out set officials of the Department of Agriculture wish It distinctly pointed out, that fertility and "hatchabillty" are not, necessarily identical. An egg may be fertile and the germ still not have sufficient vitality to produce a healthy chick under the ordinary con ditions of incubation..' 4 In a series of incubator experiments at the Rhode Island Station, of 8,677 eggs tested,,, 83 per cent, were found to be fertile, while only 46 per cent of the fertile eggs, or 3S.6 per cent of the total number of eggs, hatched under the conditions of the tests. Experi ments made at the Maine Station showed that there was as great varia tion in fertility as in the total yield or tttferent hens some producing eggs that were all highly fertile and others that were completely infertile, and, furthermore, that, eggs of some hens varied greatly in this respect at dif ferent times. The observed facts seem to show that while a heavy egg ed the hens are allowed to rest before they begin to lay again, Infertility is likely to result after hens nave Deen laying long and heavily, The Ohio Experiment Station made ROCKS AT BILTMORE, N. C. a study of the effect of the presence if the male bird on egg fertility. Forty Leghorn hens which had previously been kept without males were placed POULTRY. BEES AND FRUIT in pens with three male birds and the percentage of fertile eggs observed for nine days after mating. This in creased regularly from O on the day of mating to 95 per cent on the eighth day after mating. The fertility of the eggs waa apparently, not materially af fected until the twelfth day alter re moving the roosters. This point was also studied at the Ontario Agricul tural College and Experimental Farm. The hens were separated from the male and the eggs laid each day were placed In an Incubator andHested with respect to their fertility, or ine eggs laid during the first fourvdays after the male was removed, 70 per cent were fertile;- of those laid on the fifth day, 61 per cent; on the sixth, 60 per cent; on the seventh, 49 per cent; on the eighth, 12 per cent; on the ninth, 2 per cent and on the tenth, all were infertile.- - ' ' The Influence of the male on the total number of eggs produced was also tested with two lots. Lot 1 con sisted of 5 pullets, 5 hens, and 1 cock; lot 2, of i hens and 6 pullets of the same varieties as "lot 1. Both pens were fed and cared for in the same way. Lot 1 laid 959 eggs and lot 2, 972 eggs. It may thus be seen that there waa but very little difference In the number of egg 'ld by. the two pns. - . - . . - ' . : . Ideal Conditions for fertility. ' The various observations made at different stations, while not entirely conclusive, seem to Indicate that In order to secure fertile eggs which will hatch. It la considered desirable for the laying stock not to be kept In very warm quarters or overfed; the males must be kept with the hens contin uously and only eKgs used which have been produced after tbe male haa beea with the hens several days. The most desirable fowls whose eggs -are to be used are those from vigorous parent stock; known to produce a high per centage of fertile eggs, while In order to secure a great percentage of fertile eggs the hens should be allowed a rest after each laying period. The eggs should be bandied very carefully and not subjected to extremes of tem perature In storage, and used only when comparatively fresh. As a whole it may be said that the ordinary conditions prevailing on the farm as a rule Tavor the production of egg of high vitality. The keeping quality of eggs is a very different mat ter from fertility, aa It Is the general belief that Infertile eggs keep better than fertile, , t Keep the Animals Warm. - "How do '"you manage to always keep cattle looking so sleek and fine," was asked of a-successful stock raiser. "WiiyT"! keep them comfortable," he replied, "from the day they are born until I sell them." - And this Is to a great extent the secret of success in stock growing. . The best farmers are the best stock raisers; and this Is a branch- of farm ing that always wins In the long run. If you can raise all the rough feed and grain that your stock need, do so, by all mesas,, but don't neglect the stock to do this. Better buy of some less fortunate neighbor who has more feed than stock. There are ; other things beside feed, too. Have - you seen cattje and horses humped and shivering, day after day, through the worst part of the winter-. Do you think that those animals were com fortable? Picture yourself in that con dition and Imagine bow you would like it! It is difficult to see how some men can crawl into a warm bed at night and aleep soundly until morning, while their live stock stand half frozen and perhaps half-fed all night. Such a man's feelings must be pretty well blunted. It doesn't pay in dollars and cents, either. Now, it doesn't cost much to fix up a comfortable shelter for stock, when old hay and Btraw can be had almost for nothing. When a man lets his stock suffer from the cold, it is a clear case of shiftlessness. But every year there are fewer and fewer of the shiftless class. Use of Nitrogen Bacteria Limited. The extravagant and misleading claims made by many of the circulars advertising those widely heralded bac teria for Inoculating barren boIU which were to revolutionize agriculture, have led the United States Department ot Agriculture to Issue a warning to the farmers. In the first place the inocu lation is very limited in application If the ground is already naturally In fected with these nitrifying germs, any further addition of the artificial pro duct is useless. They In no sense re place the usual forms of fertilizer; It the ground is barren, no benefit can be expected to -result from its mere Inocu lation with bacteria; phosphates, pot ash, lime or other plant food must be added along with the nitrogen-fixing microbes. In a soil already rich In nitrogen the bacteria do little good. ; Furthermore, many of the bacteria now on the market are of no value whatever. Of nineteen samples bought In the open market and examlnedjy the Bureau Of Plant Industry one was pronounced .".very go&t? five others "good," and most of the remainder "poor" and eight "worthies" The Telephone on the Farm.
