THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
317 
SHIPPING POULTRY TO CUBA. 
Your reader who contemplated making 
his home in the Isle of Pines would better 
take with him whatever poultry stock he 
wishes to breed there, as the results will 
be much more satisfactory than from eggs 
transported so far. As to which breed will 
be best suited to his case, I would answer 
him as I do all others, the breed that 
suits him best; the breed that he likes, 
no matter whether it be Plymouth Rocks 
or Minoreas, he will succeed with. A 
breed that he does not like he will not 
make a success of, no matter how many 
good qualities they may possess.

ORCHARDS FOR HENYARDS. 
If a peach orchard is in good, healthy 
condition, and the peach trees in the local¬ 
ity live to a good age, we would fence 
it in for a henyard, but up in this locality 
a peach orchard will not live but a few 
years, unless on the best of soil and a 
deep loam, and it would not pay to fence 
in an orchard for hens, unless you put up 
a fence that could be taken down very 
easily, and moved to another place. A 
plum or pear orchard is a good place for 
a henyard. We use part apple orchard 
and part pear. We have thought that red 
raspberry or blackberry bushes could be 
set out in a henyard with good results, by 
having another yard to run poultry in 
when berries are getting ripe. The bushes 
would make lots of shade, and the hens 
would not hurt them in the least and 
they could be kept well cultivated, which 
would be a good place for the hens to 
scratch. We have not tried this but think 
very favorably of doing so, and still it will 
be much better to have the yards large 
enough so there will be plenty of green 
feed growing for them. We run most of 
our hens on range or colony plan; less 
work, less feed and eggs will hatch better. 
We have 500 breeders for the coming 
season. c. a. stevens & co.

BEST FOWL FOR ROASTERS 
It is certain that to get a chicken that 
will weigh 6 y 2 to 7*4 pounds at six months 
you will have to use at least one-half or 
three-quarters Brahma blood, and Light 
Brahma too. An Indian Game crossed on 
a Light Brahma hen, I think, would suit; 
a hen with some length of back would be 
preferable. A White Leghorn cock crossed 
on a Light Brahma hen makes a good 
cross for a plump, nice-bodied fowl, but I 
hardly think they could be got to seven 
pounds at six months of age. It all de¬ 
pends on how much the man knows about 
feed, and care of chicks, about forcing 
them along and keeping them growing. 
The Indian Game is a solid, plump fowl, 
and probably would add more to the 
weight than the smaller varieties, as Leg¬ 
horns or Rhode Island Reds. I have not 
much faith in the Rhode Island Reds 
crossed with a Brahma for size. There 
are other things to be considered as to 
the cross making a fowl that will stand 
forcing to the extreme in order to mature 
and make weight quickly, and at same 
time make a plump, nice-bodied bird. As 
I said before, it must be three-quarters 
Light Brahma blood to do this, mated with 
a male that would make a compact, well- 
meated fowl when dressed. The Brahma 
will stand more forcing than any other 
variety of fowl, and not get off their feed 
or break down. It will be impossible for 
him so to cross Leghorns, P. Rocks, or R. 
I. Reds as a foundation and get roasters 
that will weigh even six pounds at six 
months. It takes a fowl with a large giz¬ 
zard which gives it a capacity to take 
care of large amounts of food, and no 
fowl can do this like the Brahma. Prob¬ 
ably no person could make this cross and 
produce just what he wanted the first time. 
The full-blooded Brahma will be large 
enough at six months, but not plump 
enough to make what is called a nice 
roaster. I think the Leghorn cross will 
mature quicker than the Indian Game 
cross, but will not be quite so heavy.

A CALIFORNIA HEN WOMAN. 
Fresh from the East, and with the inten¬ 
tion of going into the hen business here, and 
realizing too that conditions here are quite 
different from what they are in Massachu¬ 
setts, I availed myself the other day of an 
opportunity to visit a successful hen woman, 
Mrs. A. Basley, in a suburb of Los Angeles. 
Mrs. Basley has made a decided success of 
White Rocks, creating a strain of her own, 
which netted her in one year $1,350 from 
eighty hens, a very decided success, I should 
say. But to see the woman and hear her 
talk convinces one that it has been done 
and can be done. Mrs. Basley had no use 
for poor layers, and could command a high 
price for eggs for setting and for birds for 
breeding. She is a believer in heavy feed¬ 
ing and in a variety of grains. Green feed 
she was hound to have, even though she had 
:o make trips to the city to collect lawn 
dippings, which she cured and used in dry 
;imes by wetting before feeding. Lice are 
the bane of poultry keepers in this warm 
dimate, and these pests she fought tooth and 
nail, keeping her birds and houses thorough¬ 
ly sprayed with kerosene emulsion. Mrs. 
Basley thoroughly believes that lice and roup 
go hand in hand here. Beef scraps were 
found preferable to dried blood, tankage or 
animal meal. Chicks were always fed on dry 
feed. Shelter for the birds at night is im¬ 
perative on account of the wind always 
changing direction after sun has set. A 
house, even though covered with ordinary 
muslin only and with six or eight inches 
open at bottom for ventilation, will be ade¬ 
quate shelter. Mrs. Basley has made a suc¬ 
cess with turkeys, also, and says: “Don’t 
overfeed the poults, especially up to six weeks 
of age; st arve them a little rather than 
give all they will eat.” c. f. s. 
California. _ 
Pig Feeding.— Tbe picture at Fig. 124, 
page 303, shows how not to feed hogs. It 
is a method often seen on some good 
farms, but we always feel sorry for the 
feeder. There is no use lifting the pail 
of slop over the fence. One of these 
stout hogs, with one sweep of his snout, 
would tip that pail and send the contents 
flying. Far better have a spout running 
through the fence, so that the slop can be 
poured out gently and run into the trough. 
When you write advertisers mention The 
R. N.-Y. and you’ll get a quick reply and 
"a square deal.” See guarantee, page 18. 
AWFUL SUFFERING 
From Dreadful Pains From Wound on Foot 
—System All Run Down—Miraculous 
Cure by Cutieura, 
“Words cannot speak highly enough for 
the Cutieura Remedies. I am now sev¬ 
enty-two years of age. My system had 
been all run down. My blood was so bad 
that blood poisoning had set in. I had 
several doctors attending me, so finally I 
went to the hospital, where I was laid 
up for two months. My foot and ankle 
were almost beyond recognition. Dark 
blood flowed out of wounds in many 
places and I was so disheartened that I 
thought surely my last chance was slowly 
leaving me. As the foot did not improve 
you can readily imagine how I felt. I was 
simply disgusted and tired of life. I stood 
this pain, which was dreadful, for six 
months, and during this time I was not 
able to wear a shoe and not able to work. 
Some one spoke to me about Cutieura. 
The consequences were I bought a set of 
the Cutieura Remedies of one of my 
friends, who was a druggist, and the praise 
that I gave after the second application is 
beyond description; it seemed a miracle, 
for the Cutieura Remedies took effect im¬ 
mediately. I washed the foot with the 
Cutieura Soap before applying the Oint¬ 
ment, and I took the Resolvent at the 
same time. After two weeks’ treatment 
my foot was healed completely. People 
who had seen my foot during my illness 
and who have seen it since the cure can 
hardly believe their own eyes. Robert 
Schoenhauer, Newburgh, N. Y., Aug. 21, 
1905.”
