The Southern Poultry Yard.
Where poultry keeping is carried on in
a methodical way, and with the object of
getting all the profit possible out of the
business, all management that tends to
economize labor and insure tna health and
protection to the fovsls should be carefully
made. Anything worth doing at all is
worth doing os well as it is possible for us to
do it. Loose, slipshop management never
pays in anything—even in penning goats.
Poultry raising cannot be mado a very
profitable and pleasaut occupation without
observing certain requirements that com
bine bo make it such. The essentials are
not of an elaborate nature or Involve any
great or unnecessary expense. A cheaply
constructed poultry house auswers for all
prsetioal purposes just as well as an expen
se oue. Cleanliness, pure water and
good food are fundamental requirements.
Good stock and good care, which means
regular attention, is imperative also to suc
cess. A practical experience must precede
perfect succ -e in the poultry yard. Thoss
who have had no experience cau learn a
great deal from those who have had if they
cnoo6e to take advantage of the suggestions
msde them. We can always begin whore
someone has left off if we wish to.
It pays far more than the cost to have a
closely picketed inclosure to whioh the
various broods with their small coops are
transferred as soon as they are hatched.
This inclosure should be protected by a
fence at least five or eix fee' high. A close
beard fence would be better, but a well
made picket fence will do very well. If
practicable, and It certainly is, it should be
so made as to keep out nearly evtrything
that Is likely to depredate on the young
chickens —dogs, cats, weasels, possums,
minxes, snakes and even rata can be barred
out if you will only take tho trouble to do
it. The nearer one comes to keeping these
destructive animals out of his poultry yard
the greater assurance will there be of suc
cess.
As soon as a brood Is hatched the hen
should bo placed in asinall coop.outof whioh
the little chicks should not be allowed to go
until they are several days old. For twenty
four or even forty-eight hours after batching
the chicks need no food. The second day they
should bo fed German millet seed. They
cau be raised on this entirely, but if pre
feired after they are two or three weeks old
wheat oan be substltued for it. If it can be
reasonably avoided do not resort to dough.
If a part of tho feed, whether millet or
wheat, can be parched or browned in the
oven the diet will be improved thereby.
Corn is robbed of its deleterious effect upon
laying hens if it Is slightly browned, with a
little of it considerably charred before
feeding it to them.
Poultry crave cborooal, it seems, about as
much as human beings do salt. See tbat
they oan get a supply of it one way or an
other. The best way to give it to them is in
the way suggested.
Provide pure water in shallow iron vea
tels for the hen and young chicks, and so
arrange it that they will get it without get
ting their feet in it which cau be prevented
by covering with a board not quite as wide
as the vessel.
The material for making; the ooops is
lath—a thousand will make a good many
coops. Every few days the ooops should be
moved so as to secure a clean place, the old
places raked up and sprinkle! with lime
(or ashes). For the purpose of shade or
protection from heavy -rains, squares of
cheap oil cloth—or any other material that
will serve the purpose—should Do provided
to luy over the coops. In the very early
spring some covering at night is desirable for
tho purpose of keeping the broods warm,
though they are not likely to sutler much
in our mild climate.
The mother hen should be fed corn so that
she will regain her lost flash, but the corn
ration should be stopped some weeks before
she begins laying again.
Whole wheat or wheat and oats half and
hstf is the best food for laving hens, and
luoist wheat bran is a proper food, but the
latter should not be fed to the chicks. Let
their constant food bo the small grains thnt
we have previously named. The regular
poultry raiser should grow a good-sized
plat of African (or Ivory) wheat for the ex
clusive purpose of feeding to youug ohieks.
It is an extremely productive grain and a
quarter of an acre will supply a large quan
tity of the very best food that can be fed to
poultry.
Wherever it is practicable a winter and
spring run should be provided of barley,
oats or rye, so that the fowls can have green
food. Where they are kept in houses cr
small open enclosures a collard or cabbage
suspended by a string so that it will come
about two feet from tho ground is a good
way to supply green food. In jumping up
to pick it they will take tho necessary exer
cise to keep them in healthy condition.
Some small grain sprinkled over a strawed
floor also encourages them to exercise.
Grapes In Ware.
R. M. C., Ware County: Can one grow
grapes bare successfully and make ihem
fairly profitable?
Thera is no qaeatloa as to your being able
to grow grapes in your county. There are
a number of varieties that will do well if
you will meet the requirements of the vine
which is a easy thing to do, consider
ing the value of the crop. Of oourse, it is
not so simple as growing a crop of cabbage
or cotton, but it does not demand so much
more care as to render it an impracticable
crop anywhere In your section.
One-year-old viues set any time between
now and February, aud of those varieties
*bat are know to do well in the south, are
likely to give you satisfaction if you will do
your part toward helping them to do so.
If the soil is not rich enough make it so
ny proper applications of bone dust and
ashes, and top dress aftorward with stable
manure and a reasonable application of ni
trate of soda. Then give a heavy mulching
Of pine straw.
Have the rows eight or ten feet apart,
and set a plant every seven or eight feet lu
the row. Five to 700 plants per acre, ac
cording to the character of the soil. Five
hundred vines properly attended to is better
than more that are given inferior atten
tion.
Any farmer who owns fifty or more acres
of land should be willing to devote at least
one acre or a half to grapes, even if he does
not sell a pound of tne fruit. What he
•oes not use of the fruit he can easily manu
facture into wine. For a year or two he
°an easily make a crop of corn, cotton or
Pease between the grapes if he chooses, and
thus pay all the expenses of the grapes. It
advisable,any way.to plant either pease or
cotton between for a year or two. It gets
yne soil in good condition for the grapes.
here the rows are teu feet apart and the
, aut * e 'l?ht feet apart in the row it will re
quire 544 plants to set an a ore,and that many

be goes at it right.
Cauliflower Culture.
H. EL F., Jacksonville, Fla.:
"i es, cauliflowers oan be grown in the
south, but we doubt whether their culture
on a large scale will prove very profitable
to tho majority of cultivators This veg
etable is grown chiefly for the purpose of
making pickles, and for this purpose there
are sections tbat give attention to their
culture. We have grown very fine cauli
flowers in Middle Georgia, but only in a
small way, and as the result of a most
paiustakiug method that involved mulch
ing and repeated watering, but our experi
ence would not warrant us in ccmmendiug
their culture as a “money crop” for the
average “trucker.”
There are sections of this broad country
where cauliflower growing is made very re
munerative, but it is not likely that it will
be made such in any part of the soutn.
Hollanders and other foreigners are better
prepared to make cauliflower growing a
success than our native gardeners, and thus
far a very fair supply f r commercial pur
poses has been supplied by such growers in
the northwest. Except for the purpose of
pickling, the cabbage is more adapted for
culinary use in the south than cauliflower.
Henderson’s Early Snowball or Early
Erfurt are the best varieties. In the south
the Early spring crop is the most readily
grown, but a crop can be grown in the fall
by the aid of mulching and w atering.
Our experience does not warrant us in
commending it as a “money crop” for our
truckers; but we are open to conviction on
this point, however, if auy of our readers
can show to the contrary.
Our plan of culture bas been given in a
previous i'ouo, which will be repeated if in
quiries warrant it.
The Beat Grass.
A. M. C. asks what are the best three or
four plants for southern use.
There are so many grasses and clovers
adapted to southern use tt is difficult to say
which is the best three—or four—tor any
particular locality. In previous numbers of
the News we have enumerated a score or
more that.are available for southern use.
It depends upon the character of tho soil
whether certain plants will bo the best or
not.
Perennials are more economical, as a
rule, than annuals. Under suitable condi
tions Lucerne—or Alfalfa—is an unsur
passed plant, but it is a waste of time to sow
it on poor, thin Boil and expect it to succeed
without attention.
Texas Blue grass is a splendid plant for
the southern ciltuate if its requirements are
met. Herds grass is an excellent plant for
moist soils, ’ihe Burr clover and the Mell
lotus are excellent as forage plants and soil
improvers. For summer and fall pasturage
the Bermuda is unsurpassed.
Orchard grass Is a splendid plant for
southern use if given proper soil.
It is useless to expect any of these to give
profitable results on worn-out soils, as many
have done.
“Johnson” grass (sorghnm hoiopense) is a
splendid grass on the stable farm.
If you will describe tho character of your
soil and the purposes for which you need
grass—whether for meadow or pasture—we
may be able to suggest combinations tbat
will give you satisfaction. A mixture of
grasses is to bo preferrei to any single
plant.
Covering Strawberries.
It is beyond question, says Orchard and
Garden, essential for best results that straw
berry plants should be covered during win
ter and early spring. The object in so cov
ering is not so muoh to protect the plants
from freezing weather as to shade them
from the suu and so prevent the alternate
freezing mid thawing wtuoh usually takes
place when the sun's rays become strong,
and by which the plants, it not protected,
are hoaved or drawn out of the soil, and the
bud exposed to freezing weather, which is
usually fatal. Hence so many unprotected
strawberry “patches,” the blame for which
is often laid to other causes and not to the
true one—luck of winter protection. Tiiero
need be no haste, however, in applying the
covering.
In December, when the ground is frozen
and wagons can be driven over the beds
without sinking in the soil, it is time
enough. The best material to use is strawy
stable mauure, but there are other excellent
ones. Salt hay, evergreen boughs, refuge
cornstalks, straw, etc., all make a good cov
ering.
The material should be put on lightly, so
as to form a porous covering, and for this
reason we do not find forest leave* so satis
factory as some other materials, for they
are apt, after having been exposed some
time, to pack down closely upon the plants
and become a dense mst.
Common sense will dictate tho extent to
which covering should be put on when its
object is understood. VY heu the season has
sufficiently advanced in spring and all dan
ger of heaving out by frost lias passed, (he
covering may be removed from the plants
and will come into good service later for
mulching the soil about them.
The Future—Wherein Should Our
Hope Lie.
The farming operations of the year 1891
have been brought to a close. The balance
sheet has been drawn. The result shows
either profit or loss. With the light before
us it is a very just presumption that to a
very number there has been only loss—to a
few only has there been a satisfactory
profit.
It is in order to ask, What are the
hopes for the future? Do those who
have failed to secure profit this year see
their way clear to alone for the errors of the
past? Blessed is the hopeful mau, however
slight may be the justification for the hope
that ho has. Hope springs eternal in tho
human breast 1 May that hope pervade
every single soul who has reaped disappoint
ment this year. The farmers of the south
are a hopoful class. Tha past has undoubt
edly demonstrated that. We trust that tho
h ~pe that has sustained them ail these years
will not fail them now. The majority of
farmers certainly have not done well this
year—their money crop has brought a very
low price, they have hud lit
tle olse to sell besides cotton;
there are not many who have made a
superabundance of food supplies. The pro
gramme for the next year Hhoul i be decid
edly changed, should it not? Will it do to
continue the old policy of cotton and corn?
Should not more grain, more grass, more
food supplies pf ail kinds eater luto the fu
ture policy? The question deserves very
serious consideration.
Sunflower Seeds for Poultry.
We do not reoommend sunflower seeds for
poultry, except as an occasional feed, in
small quantities. Fowls are usually very
fond of them abd greedy for them, but they
contain too much oil. They are heating aud
fattening, and are used by poultry fanciers
who desire to fit up birds for exhibition In
the show ring. A few of them every day
for two weeks, along with other gram, gives
a bright, glossy plumage, and that inde
scribable softness of feeling that is usually
connected with the idea of a fat bird or ani
mal, but they do not stimulate egg produc
tion, or improve the quality of eggs laid
while they have been given.
A good time to feed them is at or just after
molting tune, when .there is an extra drain
upon the system in forming the feathers,
and getting roady another litter of eggs to
be laid later on. Do not fail, however, to
give plenty of other good gram at the same
time.

Green Food Indispensable for Heavy
Fowls.
Different breeds of poultry require differ
ent methods of feeding and different kinds
of foods to secure the be-t results. A Light
Brahma being of a less active temperament
than a Leghorn, is more likely to become
too fat to lay well if fed largely on car
bonaceous diet, than a Leghorn. The in
tense activity of the latter requires more
carbon to support it, and what in a Brahma
goes to fat in a Leghorn is used up in move
ment. For this reason green food while
necessary for all breeds, is indispensable for
those of sluggish temperament, and for the
same reason it would be Impossible to give
a standard ration for a fl ck composed of
several different breeds, differing so widely
in disposition as the Asiatio and the Medi
terranean classes, though if a flock con
sisted of similar (owls of different breeds,
for example, of Hamburg*. Polish and Leg
horns, there would be no special difficulty
iu feeding all alike.
A Chicken Cholera Cure.
Am ng the many different remedies for
chicken cholera, says a writer in Henry
county, Ohio, I have never found anything
so effective as ground black pepper. Many
of our fowls have been cured by feeding it
to them in bran or corn meal, well moist
ened with water; if they are too sick to eat,
it is stirred into sweet milk and poured
down their throats in small doses. But I
have learned that it is better to use pepper
as a preventive than as a cure, I think it
should be fed to the hens (and a very little
to the cbiokens) often, especially during the
spring and summer months, when, to my
knowledge, cholera is the most prevalent. I
do not Bay that it will always cure or pre
vent; but it is the best remedy t at I know
of, and if poultry raisers used it more freely,
lam sure there would be fewer cases of
cholera among their fowls.
Poultry Diseases.
For cholera, a strong solution of hypo
sulphite of soda, given three timos a day.
in teaspoonful doles, is probably the best
remedy we have. For gapes, (lip a feather
in turpentine and insert into tho windpipe.
For scaly logs 'lip them in kerosene two or
three times. For preventing packing of tho
crop, a little sulphur should bo mixed with
tho food onco a week in winter. This also
provonts irregularities of tho bowels, caused
by over-eating and constant production of
eggs.
Grape Culture.
A bountiful supply of the fresh fruit of
the grape throughout the year, for every
family in the union, bo tbat the best fruit
be placed upon the tables of all every day
through autumn, winter and spring, would
require at least 500,000 acres to sup
ply this delicious and wholesome fruit to the
whole people. A daily use of fresh grapos
would promote both the health and comfort
of families
Poultry Notes.
Improvement with poultry can be made
more satisfactory by confining the attention
to one or two breeds rather tuau attempt
ing to manage a large number of varieties.
At certain stages of their growth young
poultry find warm weather very trying,and
for this roasou it will bo necessary to give
them a little extra attention during tho ex
treme hot weather.
Pick out the fowls intended for exhibition
early and give them a little extra care. Sun
flower and hemp seed promote a smooth,
glossy plumage and cau always be fed
with benefit tef fowls intended for exhibi
tion.
Why are poultry man so careless and un
tidy in sending their surplus fowls to mar
ket? Such shipments, in some of the
priucipat markets, have been in such
wretched condition as to bn unsalable at
any price to a buyer who knows what a
prime obickvn is and demands it. It pays
to ship neatly and have all fowls in the best
possible condition. Farmers should remem
ber that.
The general farmer has no use for the
“newest breed,’’ they are entirely too new
for any but the experienced fancier, and
often it is entirely “too fresh” for our vet
erans. These new breeds are far from per
fect when out, and need great care be
stowed upon them before they are available
to the purposes of the farmer who should
content himself with one of the well estab
lished breeds. True, we have rnauy farmer
fanciers that are as well up in the faucy as
any man, and many of our best fanciers
are farmers, but lam not writing of them
at this time, but tho common farmer who
breeds poultry for its commercial value;
tho older breeds are the oues they can han
dle.
Wheat is an excellent grain for laying
bens and growing chicks, not to be fed
alone or continually, for it is then very In
jurious. With a variety and in a propor
tionate amount to the number of hens kapt,
it is unquestionably the best grain that poul
try can be fed. Grain Is essential at all sea
sons, but the kind and quantity to be fed
must bo regulated by the season of the
year.
Fall is a good time to erect your new
buildings. A location exposed to the south
is considered advantageous, for the sun of
tbe morning gets on the building and after a
cold winter night brings delight atul com
fort to the huddling flock within. It should
always be kept in mind, to keep within a
pen just half the number of birds the
space will accommodate. The results of
crowding poultry are sad.
At this time of the year the temperature
in a low, crowded hen bouse Is oftea un
bearable during the middle of the day;
hence hens abandon their accustomed
nests in the building, and make nests in
brush piles, clusters of weeds and briars,
and all sorts of unlooked-for places, where
the laying fowl finds it cooler and more
comfortable. Provide your fowls with
fresh nests in comfortable quarters, and
you will not lose so many eggs at this sea
son.
The Kev. J. Barton Freneh of Trumans
burg, N. Y., has twenty Black Minorcas.
The cost for feed is 50 cents per week. They
are confined to the ben yard, and are fed
oyster shells,some green food, table scraps,
and a gram ration consisting of thi ee pai ts
wheat and three pans oatmeal. They are
yearlings with the exception of one 4-year
old. Tue have averged 100 eggs per week
for many weeks. For two weess iu May
they laid 20b eggs. He supposed the old hen
would stop laying or set, hut up to date she
was still at it.

A COUNTESS “BROWNS WHEATS”
In the Kitchen While She Sues For a
Divorce From a Falae Count.
From the A 'em York World.
Marie Stumpf was tho wife of a count,
now she is cook in a restaurant. Acting
the part of a soubrette was one of the in
cidents of her life. It’s a queer tale, how
the soubrette bargained for a countesshlp
and only got the position of cook, and it all
oomos out through the medium of a divorce
mill. Aud while tho mill grinds out her
freedom from a gay and negligent oount,
the pretty countess is deftly browning
wheats in tho "Gold Grube” restaurant.
Duaae street and Broadway.
Count Louis Stumpf came here from Ger
many about ten years ago on account of a
little affair of honor. On his arrival here
the count’s handsome presence, ready tongue
and quick wit soon won him a way into the
swelleat German circles. He was a member
ot tho Arion, the Lledei kranz and other
clubs, where his spendings were always
prodigal, for he had plenty of money then.
Among the places he was fond of visiting
was the old Thalia theater. AVbat attracted
him most at this place was the bright, viva
cious face of the woman who finally became
his wife and later a cook. He was witty,
romantic and fond of good eating and good
drinking and Marie, the soubrette, was
often in his company.
The marriage was solemnized on Fob. 12,
1889, says the complaint, and as the count
still had considerable money the honey
moon shone with- dazzling splendor. It
was too splendid to last, and the absence of
cash was the first tbiog to cast shadows on
its fullneua. But the count undertook to
remody this by opening a money broker's
office on Canal street, where be dealt In
railn ay and steamship tickets. Prosperity,
however, played hide-and-seek with the
count. Then, it is alleged, he tired of his
soubrette wife and returned to the gay life
of his bachelor days.
The countess, who was compelled to sup
port herself, consulted Lawyer Samuel Hy
man of No. 150 Nassau street, and a com
plaint was served on the count asking for a
divorce about six weeks ago. The count did
not stop to Interpose an answer, because it is
said, he was in financial trouble, which ren
dered his absence from tbe city Imperative,
and the ooautess will get her divorce by de
fault in casAhe proves the truth of her
charges. The last heard of the count he was
in Asbury Park, engaged as a waiter in a
restaurant. The suit Is brought in the court
of common pleas.
