WELL-FATTENED FOWLS,
Their Flesh Should He Perme a ted by
Fat Rather Than Surrounded
by Layers of Fat

To properly fatten fowl is
science. That fowl is not properly
fattened which has a large amount of
fat in layers under the skin and
around the intestines. Around the
intestines it may be, but the flesh
should be rather perm Gated by fat
than surrounded by fat. The flesh
should be evenly infiltrated by fat.
Fat should not show through the skin,
nor should there be any fat under the
skin to show. no matter how thin the
skin may be. In France well-fat-
tened bird is one that has good sup.
ply Of flesh over the back. When that
is attained the buyers feel certain that
the breast meat is in good condition,
as fat more readily accumulates on
the back than on the breast To fat
ten birds properly requires food rich
in nitrogen as we'll as carbohydrates.
1t also requires some attention to
breeding. as the quality to fatten prop
erly must be inbred 10 very con-
siderable extent. As yet we have
done little along the line of determin-
ing what breeds fatten most perfectly.
Probably in each breed will be found
strains Of fowls that have the desired
qualities. Before long. experimental
ton will without doubt be made along
this line. The result should-greatly
improve the quality Of the fattened
fowls we see in ONT markets-Farmers

The best breeds will not be profitable
If they are mismanaged.
Clean out the coops often; filth is
unhealthy at any season of theyear.
Remember prevention is better than
cure and "feathered pets make the
worst of patients"
Are you keeping an accurate record
of your poultry account. including cost
Of feed and labor and the income from
your sales?
Damp. wet and foul quarters are Just
as great disease breeders in the fall as
in spring. See that your poultry does
not have to contend with these condi-
tions this fall
Do not simply throw the water out
of the drinking vessels and put in
fresh water, but wash the vessel thor
oughly every time you change the
water.
The way to interest the children in
farm life is TO give them an interest in
the poultry. Do not let their interest
end with caring for the fowls or gath
ering the eggs. Let them have some of
the muney returns as well.-Farmers'

"Baltimore and Boston should try for

which have investigated the matter has
been that eternal vigilance is the price

The Louisville Courier-Journal says a
