AGRICULTURAL
Toultry anti Egg Product Profitable In
the South.
It is not a |ittle singular that in all
that has been said in favor of a diversi¬
fication of crops for the cotton States,
and for all that baa been recommended,
so little emphasis has been put upon
the breeding, raising and feeding poul¬
try, and egg production This ;s, per¬
haps, because It has been rogarded as a
small business, and partly because of
the weakness of the negro for the
white man's chickens and the more
forehanded brethren
To the first objection, it may be said
that all, or nearly Till great, things, and
especially great agricultural industries,
begin small, as witness the condition of
the dairy interest forty years ago, or
or even twenty—and the cotton inter¬
est, even before the invention of the
power gin ; and to the second if care is
not taken to house Dightly aad secuiely
fasten up from marauders their con¬
tents, thore can be uo such thing as
profit in the poultry business in any
country. We do not foar that the.oegro
will commit ‘fiat burglary’ to gratify
his weakness for hi3 neighbor’s chickens;
and if in the cotton States breeders will
take as much pains in looking after
their fowls as those of the North they
will suffer quite as little from thievery.
South of thirty-eight degrees, and
clear down to the Gulf of Mexico, lies
a soil and climate admirably fitted for
poultry production, and whenever the
fact is well understood and acted upon,
this portion of the country will have as
near a monopoly of the poultry bush
ness as the corn and cattle States have
of beef and pork predictions. Just
now, iu the chief commercial centers
hereabouts, like Louisville, Cincinnati
or Chicago; eggs are quoted at from
18c to 25o a dozen, and will so continue
to be all winter long.
This winter demand for eggs, the
South by soil aDd climate, should be
abundautly able to supply: and when
her farmers shall have so added to those
great delicacies in quantities sufficient
to meet the Northern and European
demand, they will have no reason for
dismissing the subject of chicken breed
jug as a small and unprofitable bush
ness. —Poultry Journal.
Turkey Raising.
For some years I have followed the
:rmehoiiorecl practice of putting the
first lot of turkey eggs UDder common
hens to batch and raise, each success¬
ive year bringing its share of death,
disease, aud consequent disappointment,
in the size of the Hock in the fall, regu¬
lated by the season as it was favorable,
pr the reverse. My coops were built
large and roomy, and kept clean as
possible, but every rainy time was death
to more or less of the little ‘moslems’ in
spite of all precautions.
Last spring we had about two hun¬
dred and fifty with bens when the rainy
spell came on. After suffering the usu¬
al experience, a council of deliberation
was bold, when the conclusion was ar¬
rived at that there was nothing to be
lost, aud perhaps something to be gain¬
ed, by letting the turkeys raise their
own young. Accordingly, after that,
as each one hatched, she was placed in
a pasture lot with plenty of shade and
range—bidden U-od-spoed and good
luck. Wet mornings tkev were fed
early, and rainy days often, to keep
them from wandering. After the insect
Beason was fully inaugurated, no feed
was given. The result was highly sat
isfaotory, as the size of the young flock
testified. Some of the old ones raised
pvery one they left the nett with.
Henceforth my plan will be to set a iieu
at the same time as the turkey, giving
both clutches at batchiDg time to the
turkey, and discard all coops. My ex-,
perience last season has shown me tb
I can raise a much larger percentage of
young at much loss cost of money and
trouble than by the old plan, lu share,
turkeys are like Indians iu oue
—to be eoatentediand thrifty, they
be allowed to follow their Daiural
pensityof roaming—always being
in reasonable bouDds.— Ex.
One Sabbath afternoon a
minister outerving by the time be
ed the third ‘bead’ of bis discourse the
drowsy disposition of several «f his
bearers, quietly remarked: ‘In the
third place those of you who are awake
will please lake notice, etc.'
