PLAN FOR FATTENING FOWLS
Profit Just at Sure With Poultry as It
Is With Cattle and Hogs, Says
Specialist
If It pays to fatten hogs and cattle
before they nro marketed, why won't
It pay to fatten poultry before market
ing It? Tho snmo conditions apply In
each case, says F. B. Fox of the poul
try department, Kansas Statu Agri
cultural college.
Mr. Fox, who has had packing
house experience, Buys that the largest
percent of poultry that comes to the
packing house has to be fattened be
fore It Is killed. It Is the custom on
the ordinary farm to cull out the flock
the night or morning before marketing
regardless of the condition of the
birds. The poultry have been running
on the range around the barnyard
picking up most of their living and
nreyjust In a good growthy condition
ready to take on fat nt very little
cost.
The farmer should cull out his flock
ahd either crate feed or put them In a
small pen under sunltary conditions for
a period of two weeks and give them
nil the corn, knflr, or other grains they
will eat, Mr. Fox says. This Is long
enough to feed under ordlnnry con
ditions. If a fanner has the time the most
profitable way to dispose of his sur
plus poultry is to milk feed them for
fnncy trade such as hotels and wealthy
customers In a nearby town or city.
There Is usually grcut demand for
high class ppultry for Sunday 'and
holiday trade In tho city.
Milk feeding Is practiced extensive
ly In packing houses. The chickens
nro crate fed on n ration of corn meal
or other mash feed mixed with two
parts of buttermilk and poured In the
troughs on the side of tho crutc. They
are fed for about three weeks all they
will clean up twice or threo times a
day.
The mnln objection to milk feeding
on the farm Is thnVthe birds have to
Homemade Coop for Fattening Poultry,
be dressed at home. If sold alive they
shrink n great deal In taking them to
mnrket nnd they may get bruised or
get their hones broken, ns the milk
makes their flesh soft and tender nnd
their bones weak nnd brittle.
LITTLE TROUBLE WITH GEESE
Lameness, Caused by Confinement and
Improper Food, Is Chief Ailment
of Fowls.
Geese should be easier to rnlse than
any other kind of poultry, ns under
correct conditions there should bo no
disease among the young. A lending
breeder of geese says that the only
ailment ho hns to contend with Is
lnmeness, which Is generally caused by
too close confinement, unwholesome
food, too wnrm housing or too closo
qunrters. Geese require dry nnd wind
proof quarters with litter on the floor
and wlk stand the hnrddsf winter
.weather.
To treat lameness give n tablespoon
ful of castor oil, by holding tho beak
open and working It down the throat
Renew the dose next day, If necessary,
Keep the ailing bird In a dry pluco
and feed stale bread and wnter.
STANDARD-BRED FOWLS BEST
Some Farmers Can Make Money With
Mongrels, but High-Class Birds
Will Do Better.
Sometimes n mnn succeeds with
bnrnynrd mongrels better than his
neighbor with prlze-wlnnlng fowls bo
cause he gives them better care. But
let the successful farmer, who has not
already done so, turn his nttentlon to
pure-bred birds nnd he will derive
still larger proflt In dollars and satis
faction.
HIGH MORTALITY IN POULTS
Some of Most Common Causes Aro
Exposure to Cold and Dampness
and Overfeeding.
Tho high mnrtfillfv common In
young poults usunlly Is due to Homo of
the following causes: ICxposuro to
dampness and cold ; Improper feeding
close confinement; lice; predatory un
Itnals: weakness In the parent stock.
