CHICKENS IN SOUTH AFRICA.
Former Colorado Man Runs a Show
Poultry Farm.

]. II. Hildebrandt. an old resident
OF Denver. has struck it rich in South
Africa-not in the gold mines, but in
the chicken and duck business, says
the Denver Republican. About year
ago Mr.. Hildebrandt conceived the
Idea OF introducing American methods
of raising poultry in that country, and
established the Good Hope Poultry
Farm, which has become one of the
show places of the vicinity Of Cape
town. II covers ten acres, about nve
miles out of the city. The product OF
the ranch is entirely dressed poultry,
chickens and ducks. No eggs or live
chickens are sold. The finest stock OF
ducks and Black Hamburg fowls are
imported and used for breeding. The
eggs are placed in incubators, the
Matching plant having capacity or
500 eggs month. The incubators are
of American make and are in charge
of expert incubator men from Penn
sylvania. They have made record
Of Matching and saving eighty-tivc per
cent. of the chickens and ducklings
from eggs set, and the product of the
farm is about $1,000 dressed poults n
year. Mr.. Hildebrandt obtains the
highest price for his entire product
without difficulty. Another American
novelty he has introduced is lucerne
or alfalfa. of which there, as here,
three or four crops year can be
raised. His American vegetable gar
den. with green corn. is another source
OF wonder TO the natives.
On this tcn-acre tract Mr.. Hide
brandt lives in great comfort, his en-
tcrprise having proved thorough
financial success. His brother, George
Hildebrandt, who works in the mail
ing department of the Republican, re-
Gently received copies OF two of the

wonderful success of J. IL. Hide
