A -w.n-1ntsn.,onsa" Poultry Raiser.


For about thirty years have raised
poultry, for twenty-three years as an
adju lct on the farm, and for the re-
naming seven years have been rails
ing them In the city suburbs. On the
farm I did not confine myself to any
special breed, but usually kept we'll
bred males, Dark Brahmas, Partridge
Cochins, Buff Cochins and SO forth. For
the past seven years I have bred Ply
mouth Rocks exclusively, and think
they are the best general-purpose fowl,
maturing early. They are good layers
and sitters. They also give a good
sized roast when brought to the table.
My fowls have never had very good ac-
commodations in the way OF housing,
and they sometimes get their combs and
gills frozen, but am always intending
to do better by them next winter. For
grain feed, corn is my main reliance,
supplemented by what table scraps we
get. We make good deal ourselves,
and get considerable more from city
families. This winter am supplying
them with sugar beets from the cows
rations, which they seem to pick at with
great relish.
find market for large part OF my
flock at 81 each to be used as breeders,
and think / could sell more IL L had
the pluck to advertise more. Those
left over we usually dress and sell to
private families, at full retail prices In
the shops, which average about 10 cents
per pound. Occasionally we sell some
early chicks at IL to Is cents per pound
alive. We do not get many eggs IN
winter now, but expect to next win
ter" when I get my ideas carried out.
We lose some fowls occasionally from
different causes, but have never had
what I consider an epidemic of cholera
or of any other disease. I have never
used an incubator, but have relied on
the old method, frequently getting rom
IL to II chicks in a brood. Seventeen
eggs is the usual number given to
Plymouth Rock hen, and Ii she has
few more presented to her by other
hens she sometimes succeeds in hatch
ing her original number. I never DO
much doctoring, but depend on lsolat-
ing the sick fowls. and when their case
becomes hopeless l kill them and bury
them deep.
My neighbors usually discount me on
egg production and early maturity, IL
all they say is true, and 1 do not believe
it is. I tie to the Plymouth Rocks for
medium results and think I get
them. If were after early maturity
only should use bantams exclusively.
If beef at long range was my object I
would want Cochins or Brahmas.-F.
