POULTRY-KEEriNO IN FLORIDA. 



Constant inquiry keeps coming in regard to Flor- 

 ida as a place for poultry, and my replies have been 

 and must be brief. Our readers have likely gather- 

 ed from what I have said about my owp chickens 

 in years past, that I think it an ideal place for one 

 who really loves the work. A year or two ago I 

 had a hen steal her nest in the woods, and come off 

 on ChrUtma.s Day with 17 fine chicks. Just now 

 our Florida Experiment State Station has sent out 

 a bulletin entitled " Twenty-three Poultry Questions 

 and Answers," which covers the ground very fully. 

 Address Poultry Dept. of the Ag. College, Gaines- 

 ville, Florida.
