EXECUTIONS of the Broilers.

Formerly Confined to a Season. They
May Now Be Bought the Year Round
The hen commonly stops laying dur
ing at least a part of the winter, and
begins laying again in January and
continues to lay until early spring
when, naturally. If she were not dis
turbed she would begin to sit on her
eggs and hatch out chickens. When
these chickens come 70 be bg enough
10 weigh from a pound TO a pound and
a half each, dressed, they are called
broilers. and as such the young. tender
and delicious chickens are sold. The
chicken, OF course, remains at a suitable
size for broling only a comparatively
short time, and when II gets too big for
that ii becomes a spring chicken, still
young and excellent, but to be roasted
or cooked in some other manner than
on the gridiron, being now too big for
broiling.
With chickens Matched out by hens.
and with the great majority of hens
sitting along at about the same time,
broilers came into market during a GER
tain time of the year, just as vegetables
formerly did, before we began getting
them from the South. and from under
glass. There were some broilers scat
tered along before or after, but most
of them came into market in the late
spring and early summer. Years ago.
and not so very many either. twenty
years or so. there was a pretty well de-
fined bro.ler season, lasting a month or
six weeks. Then came cold storage, and
by that means the broiler season was
extended two or three months or more.
Some at least Of the surplus broilere
that would otherwise have been per-
mtted TO grow into spring chickens.
were killed and put away in the cold
storage houses TO be drawn on as re-
qu' red and so the broiler season, or the
period in which broilers could be pro-
cured was materially heightened
Then came as what is known the hot
house brOiler, an incuba tor-hatched
chicken raised in a brooder. with
cold storage the natural broiler season
had been prolonged with incubators 1t
wae anticipated. and finally Il was
heightened indefinitely. There are now.
scattered in various parts OF the coun-
try. hundreds of poultry farms. using
incubators. that are devoted solely to
the production Of broiler chickens for
the market, some Of them large estab-
lishmente. one in a Western State turn
ing out 100000 bro.lers in year. The
broiler farms have their seasons OF
greatest production. but there are more
or less hot house broilers raised at ALI
seasons. so that IL is possible nowadays
to buy fresh broilers every day n tho
year.
