AMONG THE POULTRY.

If the hen is machine for con-
verting feed into eggs, it is plain
business principle that the machine
should be kept running at full ca
pacity and at the lowest cost.
Don't keep single fowl over win
ter that you can't make pay its board.
Gull them out and sell for what they
will bring. The feed and care thus
saved may be given to the more wor-
thy ones.
Although eggs are q good price
now they will go higher later on.
And the hens will be sure to suspend
business unless they have comfort
able quarters and are well cared for.
Increasing the profits depends
largely on the observance of three
important points: Increasing the
quantity, improving the quality and
obtaining better price for the
product sold.-
To frequently change from one
breed to another is nearly always at
tended by more or less expense; in
other words loss. And to experiment
fl cross. breeding is still worse. Try
to find some one pure breed that
most nearly meets the demand Of
your fancy and your market. then
stick to it and make it pay

habit to lay their eggs very early in
the morning, often before daylight;
for this reason they are driven into
the house at night. and kept shut in
till several hours after sunrise, to
prevent them from running about and
dropping their eggs on the ground
wherever they may be. Pekin ducks
ere a kind of a machine; they seldom
lay an egg in nest, and will lay the
most of them in the water it allowed
their freedom and are not shut up
at night. We doubt if one out of five of
them would go into the house to lay
If they are allowed to run as they
please.
For these reasons they should have
Q comfortable house that has a good,
dry earth floor. This should be COW
cred over with straw or dry meadow
grass for them to rest on at night.
During cold weather the house should
be closed up like the hen house. When
spring and warmer weather come, give
all the air and ventilation possible
while they ore shut in. You will find
it necessary to drive them in at night,
or to give the evening meal within the
house, and shut them in while they
eat. The litter should be turned over
at least twice week; it should be
put out in the sun once week to air
and dry, and at this time the floor
should be cleaned and the litter put
back. We know that some who keep
ducks do not clean the houses all win
ter. With such care the ducks and
their eggs are always covered with
dirt.
For old or laying ducks, mix by
measure one-half corn meal, one
fourth wheat bran. the rest green
food, cooked vegetables and meat
scraps. Mix into this some coarse
sand, and mix all into a dry mash food
with water. The green food should
be cut up into short pieces; green rye,
oats or clover is good for this. When
the ducks are not laying, feed light;
when laying, feed strong two or three
times day; if they grow fat, feed
less corn meal and meat and more
bran. Always feed the ducks in
troughs or boxes. They should have
plenty of grit and oyster shell. The
sand that is mixed in their food is
good for digestion or grinding, but
they must have in addition to this
food grit or shell. Green cut bone or
meat Of any kind is good for them.
All animal food is better if cooked
for ducks.
Pekin ducks will do very we'll with
simply enough water to drink, and
thousands Of them are raised that
never had a chance to swim in water
at all. At the same time, ducks that
are kept for breeders do better when
they have the chance to swim and wash
& ii the water.-Country Gentleman.

The oldsfashi0ned Plymouth Rock
hen considered she was faithfully do
ing her duty if she laid about three
dozen eggs q year, but the modern
machine-made hen is afraid that her
head will 90 on if she does not keep
the record up to 200. In those old
fashioned times ishe enjoyed the
honor Of motherhood and was con-
sidered Of much greater importance
than being an egg-producing ma
chine. That was all changed with the
introduction of the incubator system,
which not only cuts of several days
in the period of Matching, but does
the business in generally more sat-
isfactory manner than did the mother
hen.
Besides this there is the necessity
of system all around which leads to
the ultimate production of the manu-
featured chicken.
In one of the largest poultry-pro-
ducing places Of the east large
plant has recently been installed
which is probably the most perfect in
the world. The entire plant, in fact,
is but one vast machine, each floor of
which is devoted to the chicken-pro-
ducing business. On the top floor are
located the incubators in which the
unmatched eggs are placed on tray
and subjected to . heat of about 80
degrees. Beneath the tray, in which
are Matched about 1000 chickens q
day, are the brooders, and here in q
temperature of about 80 degrees the
chicks remain for 81 days. After be-
ing born one day feeding commences,
the fare being millet, ground oats and
canary seed. For the first week they
are fed five times . day, the amount
of foot being gradually increased. al
though given less often, their diet be-
ing gradually changed to include the
coarser grains. By the rapid forcing
method of feeding adopted it takes
only q week or two to bring the
chicken to weight of two pounds.
floor below, where q very limited
space is allowed for the running
around and where a number Of cram
ming machines are located. The
crowded pens on this floor are the
first and last glimpse the modern
chicken catches Of the world into
which it is born, for here it begins to
fatten rapidly, as the examining ma
chimes force On abnormal quantity of
food down its throat. It 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 floor
below where are the guillotines and
plucking machines. Here they are
disposed of more rapidly than in any
of the foregoing processes, the kill
ing and dressing being carried out
with the greatest speed possible, so
that the fowl may be placed in the
packing barrel as nearly warm a.
possible and reach the market while
perfectly fresh.
It is surprising fact that the
products of this establishment re-
ceive better favor at the hands of
poultry buyers in the large cities
than does the old-fashioned farm-fed
product. The owners of the plant
expect to make fortune out OF
their enterprise and are really max
ing money fast already.-Boston Let.
