SLATED FATTENING COoP.

Each part is two feet long, 16 inches wide
and 20 inches high, which experiments
have shown to be the best size.
The coops are placed out Of doors in
the shade, either under trees or in an
open shed, but in severe weather should
be placed in a closed building. A small
V-shaped trough is used to hold the
feed, and water is supplied in a cup,
which may be fastened to the Stats
Young chickens from four to six
months of age are commonly used for
fattening About four are placed in a
coop, where they are fed three times
daily, as much as they will eat Of ground
grain, chiefly oats. At or near the end
OF the period of fattening, which lasts
from four to six weeks, a little tallow is
added to the feed, which at all times is
mixed with skim milk.
In a trial with 100 chickens, Prof
James w. Robinson, of Canada, found
that they almost doubled in weight in
SO days of feeding. For every pound
of increase in live weight they consumed
5,44 pounds of ground oats and 6.43
pounds skim milk AT one dollar per
100 pounds for ground oats and 20 cents
per 100 pounds skim milk, the cost was

only.
While the increase in weight was
nearly 100 per cent, this gain was mostly
OF flesh. Three chickens dressed before
fattening weighed, with feathers of,
eight pounds and eight ounces, their
bones weighed one pound two ounces,
and the edible meat two pounds six
ounces. After this period of fattening,
three chickens, of the same quality at
the start, weighed with feathers of 16
pounds four ounces, and the edible meat
seven pounds six ounces. Not only was
there gain Of about 200 per cent. in edi-
BILE meat, but it was of much better quail
fly. If all fowls when fatted for the
market are confined for a month in
coops of this kind and fed in a similar
manner, they will return much higher
price and greater proht.-Orange Judd

Might Mad woman.I

A cable train was seooting down State
street as fast as the wire rope could drag It.
The gripman was rafting off "Hiawatha'
on the gong, and just ahead a woman, who
was almost, as broad as she was tall, had
preempted the. track. The gripman re,
leased the hold on the cable and switched
from 'Hiawatha" to a breakdown jig,
but the woman never stirred. The
next instant the street car Jumped the

$50 pounds s of mighty mad woman
was taking a ride on the fender. The grip.

Several weeks ago one Of the resi-

and, placing them under bantam hen,
awaited results. In due time the
clucking. mother Matched out 13
striped adders. The brood was differ

she had previously reared, but the
faithful bantam accepted her trust and
did the best she could under the cir
cumstances Several Of the strange
brood fell a prey to the family cat,
and others receded from civilization
and took to the woods, but six of them
are still following the puzE1ed bantam
