A MAN’S DISPOSITION 
is, without doubt, seriously affected by the 
climatic conditions which surround him. 
ARE YOU PLEASANTLY LOCATED 7 
Are you shut in by the ice and snow of a rigor¬ 
ous winter, with naught but a cheerless sky to 
gaze upon? What of your lands now? Covered 
with snow? How about your stock? Have to be 
kept housed and fed? 
The farmers in our territory are plowing,their 
stock grazing on the hillsides, and in the famous 
Manatee section growers are shipping their pro¬ 
ducts to Northern markets, receiving remark¬ 
able prices for same due to the season. 
Our lands are just as fertile as yours, produce 
just as much and at a time when prices are the 
best. It’s a duty you owe yourself and family to 
look into this. 
CLIMATE IS A MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR 
in connection with the profits, as well as pleas¬ 
ure, to be derived from your location. 
Wouldn’t you like to be pleasantly situated, 
surrounded by climatic conditions which permit 
work to be carried on the entire year, and where 
the struggle for existence against the elements 
of a frozen North is not known? 
The climate in the six States traversed by our 
line is unsurpassed anywhere, and the profits 
being derived by those who only a few years ago 
were battling with the rigors of winter in a 
northern location is evidence of the value of our 
lands. Do you expect to remain where you are 
and keep up the struggle? Why not come down 
into southern sunshine and be pleasantly located 
while at the same time you are deriving big 
profits from from your crops?

CHICKS, POTATOES AND WITCH GRASS. 
Having seen many inquiries and sug¬ 
gestions as to the best way to extermin¬ 
ate witch t grass I thought some of The 
R. N.-Y.’ readers might be interested in 
the following description of an experi¬ 
ment which I tried last year on one-sixth 
acre of light witch grass sod. The land 
—a sandy loam—was plowed April 26, 
moderately deep, and well worked over 
with disk harrow, then furrowed north 
and south, three feet apart. This land 
was planted to Mortgage Lifter pota¬ 
toes May 15; a few Early Ohio were 
put in also. I used litter from hen¬ 
houses, one-half shovel per hill, well 
mixed with soil in bottom of furrow, 
then seed dropped and furrow filled 
level. When litter was all used I planted 
on hen manure same way, except I only 
used one-half as much. The litter was 
maple leaves and cut cornstalks that 
had been scratched over all Winter. I 
fenced this land with wire netting, and 
puts coops containing about 50 April- 
hatched chicks at south end. Potatoes’ 
were cultivated June 11, twice in a 
row, then hoed with a potato hook, and 
all grass in and between hills taken out, 
then ground between rows gone over 
with a fork, and all roots raked out and 
removed from field. The chicks were 
much in evidence during the hoeing and 
grubs and potato bugs fared hard. When 
tender shoots of grass appeared after 
this hoeing the chicks began eating them, 
and when the second hoeing was given, 
July 2, there was very little grass in the 
field. On south half of field—next the 
coops—no bugs were found until late in 
Summer, when it became necessary to 
hand-pick them twice. This was caused 
by vines becoming so high that chicks 
could not reach bugs. On north half 
“Bug Death” was used twice, and hand¬ 
picked three times. The chicks also 
took care of the flea beetles, seeming 
to prefer them to the large beetles when 
they could be had. This field was a 
handsome sight when in blossom. The 
vines stoood as high as my hips over 
the entire piece. From this field I dug 
2 l / 2 bushels No. 1 Early Ohio, l / 2 bushel 
No. 2, bushels No. 1 Mortgage 
Lifter, 3p2 bushels No. 2 or small, a 
total of 39 bushels. Potatoes were fair 
size and smooth, might have been larger 
if some fertilizing agent containing 
potash had been used in addition to 
the hen manure. I found only two or 
three roots of grass when digging crop, 
and consider the field cleared of it. I 
shall try the same thing this year on a 
piece of heavier sod. The chicks did 
some damage by scratching, but nothing 
in comparison to the good work done in 
keeping down grass and bugs. The 
chicks were hopper fed, and grew finely. 
I believe that in many cases it is possible 
to raise two crops at once—vegetables 
and chickens, and each crop would bene¬ 
fit the other. l. h. phinney.

FACTS ABOUT SQUAB RAISING. 
If any of your readers have had ex¬ 
perience in raising squabs for market, 
I would like their experience. How 
much does it cost to keep a pair of 
breeding Homers a year? What grains 
are fed? How many pairs of squabs 
per year can one reasonably expect from 
a mature pair of Homers? What is the 
average weight of squabs at four weeks? 
Dealers in Homer breeders claim there 
are not enough squabs produced to sup¬ 
ply the demand. Is the above true? Is 
the demand for squabs in New York 
City greater than the supply? Is it nec¬ 
essary to use nest bowls? About how 
many pairs of breeders would a house 
12x12 feet and eight feet high accommo¬ 
date? c. p. j.

Experiment Station (Storrs P. O.) for 
a bulletin. We shall be glad to have 
accurate reports from those who have 
handled squabs. Our information is 
that few have made any profit in the 
business.

is always attractive. But unless the color is per 
manent, it soon becomes an eyesore. In

the color is not merely a surface coat, but is impreg¬
