The Brooder House Of n !, Au,nouv.

The Brooder House Of n. y. Anthony.
One OF the visitants TO the late State
Fair, A. y. Cooper, Of the Prarle State
Incubator Company, wrote after he went
home communication TO the Ohio Poul.
Try Journal, nattering Of what he saw 10
Delaware and the State Fair, the part Of
which peri aining to o visit to Mr.. An.
thopy's brooder we reproduce:
He has been In the business on q small
scale Tor q number oil years, but he has
now gone at II Wholesale, which you will
see by the following description OF his
place: His brooding house is 90 feet long
and double, making In all o. pens, which
contain that many bfooders. Mr.. An.
thongs system Of brooding 10 something
entirely new, although 1t Is the hot water
system, but IL gotten up on an entirely
different plan from any have ever seen.
The house Is divided Into three depart
ments. The first 10 so feet long, contain
Ing that many brooders, which are two
feet, with yards 1875 feet long. This he
calls bis "nursery department" where
the chicks are frat put when they come
from the machines. The next room he
calls the pip ROOM" where the chicks
are put as they grow older. This room
CONTAINS 10 breeders, with yards 13X
feet long, while the next aud last con-
tains the same amount, where the chick
ems are fattened for the market. 81 ad-
mirably la this house arranged that these
departments can all be heated separately
or heated ut once-Just at the option Of
the operator.
There is hall down the centre OF the
building, and 30 we'll arranged that the
feeding, watering and cleaning are all
done from the hall, which makes It a
mojel Of convenience, and l dare say
one Of the hnest aud handiest brooding
houses In the United States This f. say
lug great deal, but believe ] ain
right, from the fact that this same plan
is already being adopted IN the great and
only broiler town in the country. There
are yards on the outside oil the building
the came fize Of the inside yards, which
give plenty Of room ct all times. The
building 10 two feet high at the cave,
while the glass Ia all In the roof. This
throws the sunlight on the little fellows,
and IL Is really interesting to watch them
aud see how they enjoy 1t.
The front part of the building is two
stories high; the lower one Is where the
stoves are kert that heat the whole
house, while the upper one is used for
picking room. The whole Is set on a
solid brick wall, and 60 substantially
built that to see 1t is TO want 1t, or one
Just like H.. have several other notes
about this brooder house that will not
mention at present, but before pass on
l wish to say that Mr.. Anthony is meet
ing with great success.
| He operates 10 machines of 300-eqg
size, one 200, and one 100. His incuba-
tor room shows up in great shape, It
being DIT companion for his large BROOD
ing house.
We will now 20 out into the country
about two and half miles and stop at
J. Z. Carriers broiler farm. He lives In
town, but this doesn't keep him from
liking chickens, aud he is not particular
how they are cooked either. His
brooder shouse is les feet long, while
his pens are 8 by 16, and the building
IL feet wide. His house is gotten up
something after the same style of Mr..
Anthony's, SO 1t needs no further de-
scIiption at my hands. He operates
four large machines and will in time, |
doubt not, have that many more. lie
has beautiful country place out there,
aud the next time go back 1 intend 10
Rave more time and take u better look
at IL.
