Small Fruit Symposium.
Our four issues for November will be de
voted to a consideration of grapes, straw
berries. raspberries and blackberries. We
trust our readers will exhibit a hearty in
terest in a discussion of the subject, so that
v.e con get at all the facts necessary to the
successful culture of these several fruits
that are so easily grown in our section
whero the requirements are so fairly met
and that are so bolpful to the family when
prove. Do not stand back and wait for
others to lead off, but send us at once some
of t’oe facts gleaned from your experience

Chicken Cholera.
Through your many correspondents could
vou secure a remedy for chicken cholera! It
would be most thankfully received by a
subscriber. Mrs. P. D. White.
While Spring, Fla.
There are a great many remedies given
for chicken cholera, most of which are of
little value, especially if the disease is al
lowed to take much of a hold in the yard.
The fowl that has it badly had better be
killed at once and buried.
But if taken in time it is possible to cure
a good many case3 by the use of Squibbs
Cholera Mixture, which is good for man or
boast. Five to ten drops given to each fowl
every three hours will oftentimes cure.
Fowls under treatment should be kept
seperate. In their drinking vessel holding
about a pint a teaspoonful of Fowlers Solu
tion of Arsenic is usually beneficial. The
third day (if the fowls survive) give a dose
of castor oii with a few drops of turpen
tine.
We invite our readers who have a well
tested remedy to give it.
The Southern Poultry Yard
No. 4.
IVhere the raising of chickens is the chief
object the first consideration is the obtain
ing of fertile eggs. To this end a sufficient
number of cooks should be kept. One cock
to six or seven hens is not too many. A suf
ficient number of hens that are good setters
must be keot. Our common “dung hill”
fowls are usually good setters. The Ply
mouth Rocks and Brahmas and games are
certainly good for toe purpose. The nesting
arrangements should bo made as perfect as
it is possible to have them. Some poultry
raisers are, of course, better located or sit
uated for the purpose, and can have many
different places for the loc iting of nests,
and an advantage will be found in this
usually. Where there is a wide range and
pleuty of shrubbery near the poultry yard
the lions will tind numerous nesting places
wbei e they are not likely to be doubled on
or interfered with by other hens. There is
one serious objection, however, to this pro
miscuous nesting. The nests are liable to be
broken up by depredators of one kind or
another —ic may be dogs, it may be rats, it
ninv bo the sons and daughters of Ham. lti
some localities and under certain circum
stances this plan does very well; but, as a
genersl rule, it is better to fcave a nesting
house—or two or three—in proportion to the
number cf fowls kept. The common plnu
is to have a single house without any divis
ion for a seperaie nesting plaoe, but having
tho roosting poles in one end and the nests
arranged at tho other end. A better plan,
however, is to have tho house divided into
;wo apartments with a door entering each
from the outside. The opening between the
two apartments need then be just large
enough for the hens to go in aud out of one
apartment to the other. Of course, a door
large enough to allow tho keeper to pass
from one to the other can be made if de
sired.
in the nesting apartment the nest 9 should
be arranged on all four sides, facing to the
center. One row of nests will usually be
ample to provide seperate nests for all the
bens that should ho kept in the house. If
not it will better to put another row of the
nine on top of the others rather than put
ilig any in the center. It will not confuse
the bans so much in (hiding their respective
M Each nest should bifprovidod with a
porcelain nest egg. To make it> easier for
the liens to locate exactly thuir own nests a
K id desire is to tack small strips of colored
cloth to each nest, letting them hang down
in front of the nest. Begin at one corner
with a strip of white, then black, red and so
ou until the principal colors are exhausted;
then reteat until oli the nests are thus
marked. It. is a decided advantage for each
ben to have a seperate nest where it is ex
pected to set them, else they may go in or
fume other nest and as a consequence allow
their clutch to spoil. We have had this to
occur frequently until we devised a plan to
enable the bans to distinguish their own
•nets easily.
As stated the center of the uesting apart
ment should be unencumbered with nests so
as to render it easy to keep the house clean.
At stated intervals tho floor should be
cleaned and dusted freely with lime. In the
absence of lime dry ashes can be U3ed. If
practicable whitewash inside of the two
apartments in the spring at least.
The nest boxes should be just large enough
to set the hou comfortably. In tho bottom
of each nest place three or four iuchos of
clean soil, pressing it in firmly and leaviug
it in the shatie of a basin. Sprinkle over it
a teacupful of lime aud put in a little straw
and place the Dest egg upon it. To insure
protection against mites always on setting a
ben Bpriukle a teaspoonful of sulphur over
tbe nest. If their ore aDy indications of
mites or lice this should be repeated about a
week before the time for tho hen to hatch.
If there is anything in poultry keeping that
is annoying and offensive it is the preva
lence of vormm on the fowls and about the
house. Nothing should be left undone to
ward preventing their existence, It does
not require much labor to do this if tho es
•-ntial precautions aro taken at the proper
tne. An ounce of precaution here is worth
6 pound of cure.

Pekin Ducks.
M. S. Perkins, writing to the Country
Gentleman, says: “The Chinese breed of
ducks (called Pekin, from the capital of
China), is the most popular variety in this
country, and, without doubt, is bred far
more extensively than all other breeds of
ducks combined. It possesses an attractive
appearance, independent of its economic
value, being of a creamy white plumage
throughout, with deep, yellow hill and
orange-colored legs showing in strong com
trast. Add to this, massive weight, good
yellow skin and tender, juicy meat, and we
have a bird worthy the attention of every
practical market poulterer.
“In breeding ducks of auy variety, it is of
first importance to select large old breeding
stock, from which to secure eggs for hatch
ing purposes. Ducks from :i to 4 years old
lay larger eggs, which, in turn, hatch larger
and more vigorous progeny than is the case
with young breeding stock. The Pekin
usually begins to lay in January or Feb
ruary, and continues four or five months
laying v\Ml nigh every day during this
period. As soon as the flock of breeders is
laying freoly, the eggs should be incubated
in order to insure iarge fine ducklings. There
are strong points in favor of early hatch -
ing. First, the parent stock then possesses
maximum vitality, and, second, a long sea
son is given the ducklings for development.
As the duck ts not particular where sne lavs
her egg, it is necessary to confine her in the
pen till the middle of the foreuoou, In order
that the eggs may all be laid in the coop.
The fertility of the eggs is surprising, some
tin es reaching 9'Jper cent. Period of in
cubation is four weeks, during the latter
part of which it is well to sprinkle tho eggs
two or three times with water at 102 , to
render the shell and lining tender and easily
broken.
“Ducklings are quite tender when first
hatched, being very susceptiblo to cold
from dampness. They consequently must be
cooped in a dry location, aud allowed only
water to driuk. Indeed, they will uot en
dure a wetting u; on the back until the down
has be n replaced by permanent feathers,
which occur when they are about two
months old. The opening in the water dish
should be only large enough to admit the
passage of the head, so that they cannot wet
one another.
“The food of youngduckli'ics should con
sist et fir.-t of bread crumbs mixed with
hard-boilod eggs and milk. Oatmeal, wheat,
corn bread, aud a daily supply of freshly
cut clover will conduce to a rapid growth.
Animal food, in the shape of beet scraps,
worms and ground butchers’ bones, will all
be greatly relished bv them. As they gr jw
to maturity they will eat almost anything,
being very hearty and fond of all kinds of
food, (iood account can be made of a'l the
ekim-milk and buttermilk that can be
spared. ’Feel ofte.i, with nutritrious
food,’ is a proper maxim in duak culture.
“Each seas ui the largest and best of the
young stock should bo selected for future
breeders, and the flack improved in this
way. A flock of tea or a dozen ducks should
be kept upon every farm, as they may bo
fed mainly upon every farm, as they may be
fed roaiulv upon the ordinary wa.te that
usually falls to the trough of the pig.
Probably a largo flock would not be found
profitable, except iu a favorable location,
where nearness to a good market and cheap
food exist. The latter desideratum is found
along the seneonst, where each succeeding
tide washes upon the fiats numerous species
of small fish, und where muscles, clams, ect.,
aro found in abundance. Hence the reasou
of tho extensive duck culture all along the
shore of Cape Cod. In suoh cases, how
ever, they should be fed lioerally with grain
and some form of green food, some time be
fore they are killed for market.”
English Walnuts in South Georgia.
Can English walnuts be profitably grown
m South Georgia.' If so, how and when
should nuts bo planted ! J. B. W.
Cairo, Ga.
We have no knowledge of any English
walnuts grown to parfection in any part of
Georgia. If any of our readers know of
any plantings ot such we should be glad to
hear from them.
Theoretically, wo see no reason why they
could not b 9 grown if fresh seeds were
planted at the proper time—in the fall—in
soil having fertility sufficient to grow them.
In thin soil uneuricbed or uncultivated tho
growth of all nut trees are necessarily very
slow aud the effort to grow them would be
a w-aste of time and money.
Apropos to the subject a recent number of
Vick's Mwja:inc says:
“As for English walnuts, an orchard in
California, containing 100 acres, yields a net
profit of $1.1,000 yearly. Anotuer in the
same state of forty acres, although not in
full bearing last year, gave a return of
nearly Sfi.obO. This waluuc (Juglons regia)
grows well in many of the southern states
and bears abundantly.
“It is one of tho most beautiful of trees,
aud eight or tea years from planting begins
to bear.”
Tobacco (Culture, Etc.

Midville, Ga., Get. IT.
1. B. C. B. is undertaking the culture of
tobacco we would advi e him to send to

on Tobacco” ($2), which covers the subject
fully—more so than wo could do here just
now. A little later, however, we will pre

2. The scuppernong is a cross derived
from the muscadine, and from the nature of

the tendency of all crossed fruit or vegeta
bles is to revert to the primitive type.

Reply to H. C.: AVhere the poultry yard
is conducted simply for the eggs, and there
it no desire to keep up any special strain or
breed of fowls the few cocks that it may
be necessary to koep should be of the small
breeds—Games or Leghorns. Hens will lay
whether there are cocks in the yard or not,
and it is advised bv numerous writers on
the subject not to 'keep any cocks at ail
where eggs alone are the object, as it is less
taxing to the hens, and unfertilized eggs are
considered as having lietter keeping quali
ties. Of this we know not. \V hern there
are a few <■ wks on the poultry farm the hens
will bo much less disposed to wander away

ami breed during the lifetime of a genera
tion. Geese have been known to hatch and
raise the.r young when 25 years old. The old
geese are not salable iu market, and as they
are better layers ami more careful mothers
than the young geese, the latter can be mar
keted with more advautage and profit ‘.ban
by the old birds.
Poultry should have salt as regularly as
any animal upon the farm. The best way to
salt them is by mixing it with their soft
food; uot too much, a little at a time and
often is the proper plan. In cold weather,
feed /our fowls warm, soft food into which
put a small quantity of salt aud pepper.
Lot this be their morning meal, and at
night give them a full feed of wuole corn.
The corn keeps up the animal heat during
the right; and as it takes a long time to di
gest they will not be sohuugrv before inorn
tug.
The Plymouth H cks and Wyandottes,
says P. H. Jacobs in an exchange, have yel
low legs and skin, are of fair size and per
haps possess as many good points as any of
the breeds, yet they are uot equal to s >me as
layers, nor are they the best table fowls.
Hut they are hardy-, well adapted to all sec
tions, their combs are not very large, aud
they have clean legs. The Leghorns have
but two strong faults —large combs and
small size. The Leghorn is hardy, seems to
thrive well in a!l sections, and though not
considered a market fowl really has more
breast meat than the Brahmas, Plymouth
Hocks or Wyandottes. it is really a better
table fowl than many another breed of
larger size. It lays os many eggs as any
breed, rivaling the Hamburg and but for the
liability of its large comb to freeze the Leg
horn would hold the position of "king of
the breeds.” It perhaps lias more friends,
eveu with the drawbacks mentioned, thau
auy other breed.
Brown Leghorns breed very true to the
standurd requirements, but it is usual, even
among the best flocks, for some of the mem
bers to have white o i the plumage, which
gives much aunovance to those who sell
eggs from pure bred Brown Leghorns, as it
makes them object to the complaints of cus
tomers, those who do not know that such
defect may appear in any flock laboring
under the supposition that tae breeder is
unfair. For the information of those who
have purchased eggs from Brown Leghorn
fowls, we will say that while white iu the
plumage will disqualify a Brown Leghorn
iroai the show room, it is not positive evi
dence that the birds are impure or not well
bred.
Set cut a number of plum trees in your
poultry yard this fall, if you have not al
ready (line S’. Besides furnishiug the
much needed shade tn summer, they will
bear much more ad better fruit who 1
planted in the poultry yard thau they do
when planted in the orchard.
Fowls kept in an over-fat condition are
more subject to disease than those that aro
only moderately fat. A poor hen will nor
lay, neither will the pampered and over-fed
one. If you expect to have healthy fowls
you must feed them so as to keep them in
good condition —neither too fat nor too
poor.

It lias been proved that we can keep poul
try on a large scale at a profit, but there has
never been a “new band” that lias tried
poultry upon a large scale, but has recorded
a failure. We must have large experience
be loro we can hope to succeed, and the be
ginner must content himself with a small
flock auq Increase its size only as his experi
ence will warrant.

It is not aßtnys convenient to detach the
the seed from Urn flower heads after they
are dry, and this' fact makes tho use of the
sunflower seed, as food for poultry, objec
tionable to some, there being no implement
that will “shell” the seed from the heads. Tho
better plan is to cut the heads up with a
spado into small pieces, and allow tho hens
to pick the seed off for th-mselves.
Don’t permit the water from the manure
pile to drain under your poultry Ijouso; if
yo Ido you will be sure to regret it. Damp
ness of any kind is not tolerated with a
healthy flock of fowls. Fowls, like pigs, are
forid of mill;. Sour milk is o msiderod tho
best, aud brings on layir g if given them
daily, summer and winter. Many fanciers
have a surplus of milk, and the pigs get all
of it. Try dividing a portion, un i let tho
bens in 011 the quiet; they will soon show
whether it benefits their general health.
All farmers should keep pure-breod poultry ;
there is no economy or p-ofit in common
barnyard stook. They eat no more, and
certainly a thinking farmer prefers the
blooded fowl, A gout farm and good stock
aro in harmony with each other.
Now, that tho brooders are overstocked,
is the time to buy from them. Never buy
pure breeds of fowls in the spring, as they
scarce and prices ara high. It is almost im
possible to procure pullets in the spiring, as
the majority of poultry men sell off nearly
ail ot their surplus bsf .re winter comes o :,
in order to avoid keeping them and t * se
cure plenty of room for their regular breed
ing stock: hence, they will sell at a reduc
tion from now to December. It ii a rule tc
buy egg* in the spring and fowls in the fail.
The cheapest plan Is to buy the fowl*. u->
they will enable you to become well stocked
the first season, and if procured now thu
cost will bo materially ljssened.
Pekin ducks cau be raised without more
water than what is necessary fur drink; this
in connection with their large size, quick
growth, and white plumage rta* made them
very popular wherever known. Youl -
ducklings are more profitable to raise tbai.
broilers; not being subject to many diseases
the mortality is much less.
When selecting the male to head your
breeding yard, never select a long, gang
ling, overgrown one. It is almost impossi
ble to fill him up and fatten him. and then
he never makes a good table fowl. Select
one of a blocky form, and if even under
standard weight the chicks wiil he of
