done It and h to be congratulated. He

him by bis Herald ads and the kind
words said by early purchasers to
their friends.
Mr. Jackson Is one of our most en
terprising and useful citizens, who has
always shown his faith in this city’s
future by his works.
<>no of the first enterprises that en
gaged Ills attention was the organiza
tion of the Kqullablc Building anti
fHE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA.
Loan Association. This was one oi
the largewt and moat Important insti
tutions of th«* kind in the city. Its
use« for developing property and aid
ing persona of limited means in build
ing their homes and owning them af
ter they were built were great.
Mr. Jackson's next achievement was
the organization of the Strowager
Telephone Exchange. In this too he
wok successful to a marked degree.
The teb xhones gave great satisfac
tion to their patrons arid were per
forming % much needed service to the
city.
Mr. Jackson recently has given his
attention more to real estate transac
tions and developing landed proper
ties. In this his well known business
tact and good address are brought into
play while his square dealing methods
operate with fine effect. He takes the
view that cutting up a piece of land
and putting the lots within reach of all
is directly in the interest of the peo
ple, and that the real estate agent is
a public benefactor, inasmuch as he
is a great convenience in facilitating
business of finding homes for the
homeless and stores and warehouses
for those who need them. Hln latest
achievement in this line is stated at
tlu* beginning of this article and we
hope that he will continue to be able
to dispose of lots on Richmond Ter
race.
Mr. Jackson now has in hand th<*
development of 20,000 acres of land
in southwest Georgia. The land lies
splendidly for colonization purposes
and h hopes to interest a number of
Western colonists. There are many
in the frigid and arid regions of the
Northwest that would jump at the
chance to get a farm on easy terms
in this land of promise arid fulfill
ment.

Summer Poultry Demand
Pure Food, dean Houses
and Good Water
With Special Attention to
These Conditions They Should
Thrive Well
Light Brahmas Are the Largest
of All Breeds of Fowls
By Michael K. Boyer.
Poultry Editor of The Farm Journal
Copyright 1914 by The Eugene Mc-
Guckin Co.
T>on’t let your enthus asm droop
with the rise in the thermometer if
you want your poultry to thrive.
Fowls are like humans in many re
spects. They like shady places to
escape from the heat; cool, clein
drinking water; clean houses and
good food.
It will pay you to provide these
essentials, even at a little extra ex
pense of money and energy. Read
the following article to learn how.
The Eight Brahmas shown here
with are the giants of the poultry
world and a most interesting breed.
It has been said that with the advent
of hot weather poultry enthusiasm wilts.
There i? a lot of truth in that. June
is the •• ginning of the hot period, and
if there is a month in the year that
requires more good work than another it
is June.
This is the month when the Grand
Army of Lee are out in full force. They
have come out of their winter sleep, and
are now prepared to do deadly work.
Thre must be a strong effort made to
rout them out.
Bice annually destroy more poultry life
than any other- agency. They weaken
the stock—they put them in such a con
dition that sickness and death is the
result. Good poultry men are prepared
in advance. They started fighting Ice
in January, and they have kept it up
ever since. The easiest way to conquer
•lice is to begin fight ng while they are
weak.
There should be a thorough cleaning
of every house at least once a week. The
droppings should he gathered and a re
liable coal-tar product should be painted
over the roosts, in the nest boxes and
along the cracks and crevices. This will
not only destroy myrfada of vermin, but
the fumes will kill whatever disease
germs may be loitering about the prem
ises. Disinfection is indeed an impor
tant step. Tobacco stems used for nest
ing material, in place of hay or straw,
Is invaluable as a vermicide. The heat
of the hen’s body sends the fumes lY*om
the tobacco up into the feathers, chok
ing to death whatever insects come in
contact with It.
Whitewash a Splendid Cleanser.
A good coat of whitewash, once or
twice during the summer season, bright
ens up the interior of the house and
Is excellent both as a vermin destroyer
and a disinfectant. If Zenoleum or car
bolic acid is added to the wash it will
he still more effective.
The house made pure, and the vermin
destroyed, the next important step is to
make the fdwls comfortable, and keep
them so. It is not possible to entirely
prevent fowls from suffering from the
heat, hut an effort can be made that
will save much of the discomfort. Fowls
must have fresh air at night. They
need it for a comfortable, healthful sleep,
so necessary for gaining strength that
they may be able to fulf il their duties
the next day. For this purpose the
scratching shed house is a splendid ac
quisition It freely admits the fresh air,
and if the north, east and west walls
of the house are made draft proof, the
fresh air striking the stock from the
front will do a world of good. Fowls
would rather roost outdoors at night
than In a stuffy house, and we don't
blame them. But where the house is
comfortable they prefer indoors.
During the daytime there must be
shady nooks—bushes or trees —where
they can reach the cool air and soil, es
pecially in the time of tlie day when
the sun is the hottest. Where there is
no natural shade provision may be made
by erecting canopies or awnings of bur-

lap, under which the fowls may gather
and be sheltered.
For further comfort at night large
flocks should be avoided, as they will
crowd while on the roost, and the ani
mal heat will bring about a condition
of sweating. It is this sweating that
rots the feathers, causing shedding dur
ing July and early August, and which
beg nners are very apt to mistake for
molting.
Keep Drinking Vessels Clean.
The drinking vessels must not be ne
glected. Not only must they be kept
filled with pure, fresh water, but they
must be kept clean. At least once a
week they should receive a good clean
ing. removing all scum; and every day,
before being filled they should have a
good rinsing. All drinking vessels should
be kept in the coolest possible place.
Disease lurks in filthy drinking recep
tacles.
Strict attention must be given to the
quality of the food. All articles of a
heat-producing nature must be cut down
In quantity. Corn or starchy matter,
carbonaceous material, is necessary to
a certain extent the entire year. It is
required in order to properly balance the
ration. But to feed carbonaceous foods
in summer to excess will cause great
suffering and loss. During winter fowls
will need about 50 per cent of carbon
aceous matter, but during hot weather
the amount must be cut down to about
25 per cent. Green food s both a medi
cine and a food, and should be plenti
fully supplied during the heated term.
When it is noticed that the ground
in the runs is becoming baked bv the
hot sun, or that it is becoming filthy, it
should be plowed—a small hand plow
being useful for this purpose. If this is
done in the evening. the fowls next
morning will have a happy time scratch
ing and gathering worms. It is remark
able how much a fowl finds to its liking
in an upturned soil.
In feeding moist mashes during hot
w-eather, no more should be put In the
troughs than the fowls will eat up clean
in about an hour. Wet food sours quickly
and it. therefore, should be a rule to
visit all the flocks about an hour after
feeding and remove all mash that is left
in the troughs.
It is also a dangerous practice to throw
all sorts of slops and table refuse into
the runs. There is much of this that
the fowls do not want, ancj in time this
sours and taints the soil. Another mat
ter w'orth considering is to avoid throw
ing cracked corn on the ground. This
often mildews over night, and has been
the cause of more cases of canker than
any other agent. All grain food should
be fed n the scratching shed, scattered
among light litter.
When the eggs are not required for
hatching, the male birds should be re
moved from the flocks, for two reasons;
First, unfertilized eggs will remain fresh
twice as long as will those fertilized;
and. second, the hens will be better pre
pared to shed their feathers in season
ff they are not harassed by the males.
Eggs in summer should be gathered sev
eral times a day and kept in a cool
place.
broody hens should be removed to
quiet, comfortable pens, where they will
gradually get over the broody fever. No
harsh methods should be employed in
breaking up brooders, as considerable in
jury is often done by reckless, cruel
treatment.
Scaly legs on fowls is a condition due
to uncleanliness, and where there is the
least sign of this trouble prompt action
should be taken Grease of any kind is
a remedy—coal oil and lard, equal parts,
is an old-time and reliable treatment.
One scaly-legged fowl in a flock will in
time communicate the disease to other
members while on the roost at night.
The fowls should not be turned out of
doors during severe rain storms, for they
soon become water soaked, their feath
ers not being able to shed water like
those of ducks and geese. IJght, warm
rains will do no harm should the fowds
be ocasionallv caught in it, but the less
exposure the better.
The precautions for summer are com
fortable bouses, shade, pure food, clean
water, freedom from lice, disinfected
houses pure soil and freedom from ex
posure.

use every effect to have the stock com
