A VAST CHICKEN MACHINE.
Chickens Matched, Fed and Killed BY
Machinerx


In one of the largest poultry -produc
ing places of the east a large plant he
recently been installed which Is prob
bly, the most perfect in the world.
entire plant in fact, is but one vast m
| chine, each floor of which is devoted

are the breeders, and here in tempera-
ture of about 80 degrees the chicks re-
main for twenty-one days. After being
born one day feeding commences, the
fare being millet, ground oats and ca
nary seed. For the first week they are
fed five times a day, the amount Of food
being gradually increased, altho given
less often, their diet being gradually
changed to include the coarser grains
BY the rapid forcing method of feeding
adopted it takes only a week or two to
bring the chicken to weight of two
pounds.
The chicken is then taken to the floor
below, where a very limited space is all
lowed for the running around and where
number of examining machines are To-
Gated. The crowded pens on this floor
are the first and last glimpse the mod
ern chicken catches of the world into
which it Is born, for here 1t begins to
fatten rapidly, as the examining ma
chimes force an abnormal quantity OF
food down it's throat. 1t takes from two
TO four weeks to bring the weight OF
these chickens up to about six pounds,
at which time they are exactly in shape
for market.
They are then removed to the moor pc
low where are the guillotines and pluck
ing machines Here they are disposed OF
more rapidly than in any of the forego-
ing processes. the killing and dressing
being carried out with the greatest speed
possible, so that the fowl may be placed
in the packing barrel as neatly warm az
possible and reach the markell while per-
fectly fresh.

conflicting stories OF what Is going on
