Of Interest to Farmers.
It is announced that a c >m;»ttnv
ot New Bedford, Mass., men has
been organized to conduct a pecan ,
grove on 25,000 acres of land in
Georgia.
i
Neariy 1500 acres of land near
Hastings, Fla., have been planted
in Irish potatoes this season, and
ihe May digging is expected to
realize $200,000.
A ten-acre tract near Moultrie,
Fla., will be planted in pecau
trees by Chas C. Batoy and .1. A.
Hitter. There are also 1000 trees
on a 40-acre tract in another pait
of the county.
AMONG THK I’OULTKY.
An elevated side is the best for
the poultry house.
A healthy fowl will drink fifteen
or twenty times a day.
Sharp gravel nhould always be
supplied to fowls that are fattened
in close confinement.
Always erft coal ashes before
putting them into the dust box for
the poultry.
Leg weakness m young fowls
comes from high and force l
growth. Bone anal is a good
remedy.
Lime is a purifier and should be
used often as a wash on coops,
perches and nest b xes.
Ducks should be allowed as
much liberty as possible. They
d > not bear confinement so well
as chickens.
Eggs for hatching may be kept
for a month if not i hilled and are
turned half over once a day. But
fresher eggs are best.
When the hens are 1 aymg reg¬
ularly lime should be kej t before
them all the time; they need it
for eggshells. One of the best
wavs of supplying lime i-in tin
form of raw crushed bone or oys
ter shells.
Soft, eggs laid before the shell
has formed are caused by over¬
feeding. Give less food and more
pounded shells or lime water.
WHY CLOVER IS VALYA RLE.
The grains are deficient in lime
sind mineral water, while clover is
rich m those in iti-rui Is. Corn
contains 10 per cent water, and
clover liny contains 15 pe. cent.
Of dry matter corn lias about
H per cent of ash. lime, magnesia
potash and soda, while clover has
ti per cent.
Clover hay contains over 12 per
cent of protein ami corn JU4
Corn is rich in starch and fat,
containing twice as much as
clover.
Clover hay has more crude fiber
than the gram, hence is less
valuable in tint direction.
While many farmers have al¬
ii ays made clover hay a specialty
in feeding adults, yet it is m -re,
valuable for young stock than
may be supposed.
If cut up very fine and scalded,
it makes one of the best rations in
winter for poultry and will l >i*o
mote laying. For ducks and
geese it cannot be excelled.
If cut very line and mixed with
cooked turnips and carrots, clover
hay w ill be lelished by young pigs,
and if will promote rapid growth,
In some sections glover hay is
ground into what is termed
“clover meal,” and it is then sold
in bags.
Coni meal is to fattening for
certain animals, but in winter it
may be used more freely, bein v
an excellent rath n when used in
connection with clover.
WHAT A BROOD SOW CAN DO.
1
Harver Johnson in a letter to
Wallace’s Farmer says:
I notice in your last issue the
record of a brood sow owned by a I
Polk county man, also your re¬
quest for records that would beat
it. I give the following, not m
an attempt to beat the record, but
simply to show how valuable a
brood sow mav be.
The sow is Columbia 2d 104708.
During the last eight years she
aas farrowed just an even hun¬
dred pigs and raised cighty-two of I

I-. Ibis time I have sold
♦2, >20.50 worth of her pigs for
breeding purposes ami have on
hand her fall litter of six pigs and i
five of her sows ranging in age
from 1 to S vears that are worth
at current prices .$400. To this
should be added the income from :
.• the sale * of f defec t . ivfiHines • for , pork. .
of wliich no serrate record was |
j
kept, but which I know will
amount to enough to bring the I
total value of her pn duce in eight J
vears up to $2,500. During this I
time cholera visited me twice and
took a number of her produce for
which she has no credit in tlm
a love figures.
She lias farrowed ten pigs five
different, times a.id at every other

fut» the claim that the Poland- !

still in-arty and vigorous, is due
to farrow again in the spring and
is not for sale. She gave no m

she was about four years old. i
Le8scns that I gather from the !

li: »* (i t this sow are t hat we cannot
tell by outward appearances what
an annual is really worth; that it
is what they can and will do that

PIGEON'S FOR PROFIT.
A Pennsylvania lady writes as
fol lows ill out squabs :
I:* breeding squabs, do not select
any one breed, as the* mix"d vu
l’i'-tes are more hardy and work
steadier. To get, the quickest re
turns, buy a llock of mated birds,
and j >u t them in your house,
then gradually cull out the poor
ones. 1 have raised half my Hock
i
and always select the finest squabs
from the part blood Antwerp s nr
Tu rbits. We need not care much
how 1 law mate, excejit to We care
tul the male bird is always lai /
and well developed, tf.g, the m,
we are worki g for is to get largf •/ i
squabs.
i‘igeuns can lie raised sue--.

is used, and 1 hey a ie J »L*.iV
with all requirements. If pig I’Oi s
are id lowed (heir liberty it c<
about 8 cents to raise a “quad* to
four weeks old, but if confined it
will more than double the cost.

to hunt t heir food ; w. II-fed birds
never destroy stacks or anv i. c 11 <d
of grain crops. Many uisnproVH li
of feeding front a hopper, but ]
have one and keep it. well filed.
If you have plenty of cats, mice
will not infest feed quarter..
Feed principally wheat am
corn. Do not change the feed t< )o
much. A good plan is to feed on
tho ground in good wej it her, but
on damp , rainy days it is always
preferable to feed from a hopper,
! The old birds feed the young.
The age of the squab ready for

' oftentimes they will do at three,
To prepare* them for market
bleed from the in.vuth, and pick

A Monster Hog.
i
Think of a hog weighing 1,800 i
pounds! It may sound unreason
able, but buck Martin, who lives
near Boynton, Ga., is the proud j !
owner of this mammoth animal,
and (he fact establishes him as |
the champion hog raiser in all
this section. This 1,300 pounder
is of the Ohio Improved Chester
variety. Only last, fall Mr,
tin killed four shouts eleven
months old that netted over 8U0
pounds each.

though much harder less painful at the start, are
to cure. Thedford’s 1
Black-Draught never fails to bene

to throw off the germs of fever and

of cholera and Bright’s disease of

inforced by Thedford’s Black
