Machine-Fed Chickens.


A poultry fattening house of 5000
capacity has just been completed in
Newton for the Fred Harvey eating
house system. By new process, an
instrument is used for forcing pre-
pared food down the throats of
chickens, causing them to gain from
one to three pounds of fat in about
two weeks. With this machine one !
man can feed about 800 chickens in an |
hour, it being possible to move the |
apparatus easily from one coop to
another. The Harvey poultry yards |
supply poultry for the whole Fred |
Harvey system, an average of 10000 |
head being shipped out of Newton
each month.
