Feeding Fowls by Electricity.
Ormond, Fla.

Why do so many people who attempt
to keep poultry on a large scale so soon
give up in disgust? am no novice in
in the business, having kept a flock of
from so to 300 for the past twenty years,
but find that still have the hen fever.
For years it has been my ambition to be
able to send at least one crate of eggs to
market every day and guarantee each
egg to be not more than twenty-four hours
old. At least see my way clear to
make the venture with full confidence
of success.
Here are few of the facts that I have
demonstrated to my entire satisfaction
ON actual experience.
1. A flock of fifty hens with unlimited
range over the fields can be kept at
profit, one of the conditions beirg that
they have a comfortable house, dry and
warm, in which to roost at night and to
which they can repair in cold or stormy
weather. They are the best judges as
to whether they shall go out or stay in
side. speak of full-grown hens.
& 2. If two such tlocks are kept in
houses eight or ten rods apart, they will
almost invariably 60 home to roost.
3. If convenient and attractive nests
are provided inside the house, the hens
will lay in them instead of stealing their
nests outside. My practice has been to
keep the hens confined part of the day
occasionally during the summer-prob-
ably about once week. The result is
that practically all the eggs are laid in
side the hennery.

6. have shipped eggs to the New
York market once week for two years
and rec eived an average of twenty-five
cents per dozen. believe that when l
am prepared to guarantee every egg not
more than twenty-four hours old, can
secure an advance of at least two cents
per dozen, making 50 per year from each
hen for eggs alone.
Z. Ordinarily the only attention each
flock requires to be fed in the morning
and supplied with drink through the
day; the door is then opened and they
thus get access to all parts of creation
which they wish to explore. They get d
feed OF whole grain about p. NJ, and
the door isclosed after they have gone to
roOst.
have plenty OF dry. stony and some
what bushy pasture land, and, putting the
above seven propositions together, can
not for the life OF me see what is to pre-
vent mefrom covering it with small lOcks
of hens, which would thrive as well as
though on adjoining village lots. Ny
idea is to experiment with fifty hens in
each flock and place the houses eight
rods apart, allowing about 100 hens to
the acre. [ believe one man can attend
to fifty focks, and, if my calculations are
correct, the product should be $4,000
worth OF eggs, half Of which should be
profit. I expect the manure to pay for
the labor of gathering it, and also the
interest on the investment.
By the way, under the old plan OF build
ing yards and keeping hens confined, it
has been preached that one must clean
out the drOppings every day. THIS re-
quires lots OF labor and away go the pro-
fits. Another trouble has been that in
keeping large numbers in CONTINENT the
health of the hens is sacrificed. Here are
two points which hope to avoid by Civ
ing the flocks free range.
I have just completed my ideal of
poultry house to accommodated forty hens
using cheap land for free ranges, instead
of building yards to keep the focks sepa-
rate, so that need ordinarily make but
two visits per day to each fock-one in
the morning to supply them with their
morning feed and fill the drinking fount-
aims, while the evening feed of whole
grain can be placed in an elevated feed
box or hopper, and the door be opened.
That is all until P. NJ, when the touch
of an electric button in my dining room
will cause the feed in each elevated feed
box to fall to the floor simultaneously in
all the houses and ring an alarm as it
falls. expect to see each biddy hurry
away to her own home for her supper,
provided she is not already there waiting
the scattering of the grain. The next
visit will be for the purpose of gathering
the eggs. By the time have got them
started for market and eaten my supper,
the biddies will all be on their roosts,
when [ again touch my electric button,
causing each door to close, thus making
all secure for the night.
When 1 have the whole fifty focks es-
tablished, horse and wagon will be nee
essary at the morning visit to carry q
supply of food and drink. Whether the
contents Of the egg basket will call for

MiddleburY, VT,
From Dunton's Spirit. !


The Morgan horse is destined to great
notoriety this year, as the Morgan horse
breeders from all parts of the country
are taking concerted action to make
grand exhibit of the breed at the Worlds
Columbian exposition. The popularity
of particular families of horses have
their ebb and flow, their entrance and
exit in fashion, and as members of the
light harness horse competitors the
Morgans are once more making a strong
bid for public favor. In 1893, near the
close of the revolution, the famous JUS
tin Morgan, the founder of the family,
was foaled and the chronicles of his
wonderful strength and marvellous
achievements read more like romance
than the serious facts of history. He
was a small horse, about fourteen hands
high, handsome bay with black
points, going with great style and &C
ton. If reports can be credited, he was
a marvel of muscular power, with as
much endurance as any thoroughbred.
Whatever his breeding, whether a Ca
madam or son of True Briton out of
Wildar mare. he was horse of enough
positive individuality to found family
of roadsters and general purpose horses.
About half a century ago they were at
the zenith of their popularity and when
common horses were selling for 500.
the best specimens of the breed were
bringing from $1,000 to $4,000. Horse
the South made pilgrimages to New
England to buy member of the family
and for number of years they led the
fashion. Vermont Black Hawk was
probably the most brilliant descendant
of the Morgans, being horse of lofty
style, elegant proportions and elastic,
graceful action. He was a trotter with
a good turn of speed for performer as
far back as 1910, having a record of
2:42, and sired Ethan Allen :254, Lam
Get 2:274 and Belle of Saratoga 2:29.
Ethan Allen was contemporaneous with
Rysdyk's Hambletonian and coming In
W as SliCo Ok lIOblcIS lllc
Morgan horse finished second as a pro-
genltor of speed. Improvement of
roads, increased number of new trotting
associations changed the sphere of the
mere road horse to contestant in races.
Ethan Allen was defeated by George
Wilkes and the bright particular star
of the Morgans passed under a cloud, as
the stallion record 2 :254 held by the
former was lowered by the latter to
1922. With the prestige of a popular
craze to his advantage, Ethan Allen was
outclassed by the achievements of Ham
bletonian in the stud and the bold, rapid
gait of his descendants proved no match
to the long, stealing stride of the get of
the Old Hero of Chester. When the
great trotters by Hambletonian, Dexter
2:17t, Nettie 2:lS, Orange Girl 2:20
came out and made their records and
