BrOilers for Profit.

The following is the first prize pOul-
try article in the last number of the
Southern Ruralist:
About five years ago we started in
the poultry business with the idea of
operating a brOiler plant exclusively
We decided that Barred Plymouth
Rocks were the best breeds for our
purpose, so we purchased eggs from
several of the best breeders for the
foundation of our flock. We then
started right i'm to raise brOilers for
market.
AS we had no eggs of our own we
engaged enough from our neighbors
to run three incubatOrs through the
season, raised several hundred broil-
ers. lost as many more, and about
paid expenses. We also raised about
seventy pullets from the eggs pur-
chased, to begin with.
We noticed that the stock from a
certain place was better than any of
the others. We saved them all, how
ever, and the following season bought
another incubator and two hundred
more eggs from the same place that
sold Us the eggs from which we hatch
ed our best stock the season before
also saved the chicks Matched from
the few hens we had of this strain.
We had to buy most of our eggs
again this season. but were more care
full and got much better ones than be-
fore. Sold nine hundred brOilers and
made about 40 per cent profit
With the 200 eggs purchased and
what we set of our own, we raised
about 100 hens.
We then discarded all the others,
and have bred this strain exclusively,
ever since
The next season we mated about
80 of our best hens to some very
good cOckerelS. advertised in one of
our local papers, sold quite a lot of
eggs for setting also !, 300 brOilerS.
On the brOilers and eggs together
we made about 60 per cent profit
Finding selling eggs for stock quite
profitable. we paid more attention to
it. raising better stock and selling
more eggs each year. until now our
egg trade is about half our business.
We have increased our plant until
now we have about 200 hens, six 200
egg incubatOrs. Is brOOderS. and sell

The stock from which we sell eggs
for Matching is of the best quality.
and noted especially for that business.
We attribute our success to the fact
that we operate our plant ourselves.

or does not care. We are now max
ing just 80 per cent profit. We run
our business Systematically. having Il
certain time for each thing, and doing
it ut that time. In the rush of the
Matching season we set two incuba-
tors each week. turning the eggs the
evening of the second day, and turn
and air them twice each day after.
until pipped. When the chicks are
all out we take out the trays and
leave them over night in the incuba--

Care of the Breeding-Pen.


Writing to the Mobile Register, Mrs.
w. H. Miller. Florida poultry raiser,
says:
'sIn the Northern and Middle states
the breeding-penS are not mated till
February. Here in Florida we have
to be ready to supply hatchable eggs
by the 1st of October. And the writer
will be ready to supply them .by Sept
tember 1, next season. Being a North
ern woman, | did not learn that till
this fall. the conditions here being
so different. 1t takes people from
further North two or three years to
get into the Southern ways. The
earlier one matches. the more prOfitab BILE
poultry is. One can have pullets
laying the year round. when hatched
from October to May. When the hens
quit laying on account of mOulting.
there are pulletS to take their places.
And where we mate up breeding-penS
the middle of August. we have to have
pulletS which were Matched i'm NOvem-
ber or December. Male birds should
not be less than ten months old. and
eighteen months old would be better.
In mating LeghOrns. that is where
they are penned. one can use from ten
to fifteen females. and in the larger
breeds from six to twelve. | put eight
to ten Wyandotte females to each pen.
and where the mating is not a special
one. change the males every week,
| letting the males have rest and feed
| them well. / hang tin cup up out
of reach Of the hens and give the male
an extra feed of grain every day.
Some males will never eat with the
hens. they are so gallant.
''Our breeding-hOuses are 10X14 feet.

houses which we will build in the
future will be a shed roof, open on

Cooper Wins Out.

Boise, Idaho, June 9Th,
Supreme court has rendered ar
opinion that will be of interest tt
every physician in the state and to
many others. 1t is in the case oil
the state against J. B. Cooper oil
Blacktoo:, who was fined $50 fol-
practicing without license, as re-
quired by the provisions of the act
of 1899 known as the medical law.
The defendant was fined in the
Probate court. He appealed to the
District court, where the case was
submitted on an agreed statement
OF facts. Here again judgement
was rendered against him and be
carried the case to the Supreme
court. This tribunal has reversed
the Judgment of the District court.
holding that the defendant has
right to practice without a license
because he was legally engaged in
the practice of medicine and surgery
under the act of 1887.
Under the provision of the act of
1899, considered in connection with
the agreed statement that the defen-
dant was entitled to practice medi-
cine in the state in 1887, the Court
holds that the State Examining
Board should have granted him
license without examination. In
conclusion the Court says with ref
erence to the medical board:
cit could not ignore the plain
provisions of the 1899 law and
thereby make criminal of citizen
of the State engaged in a legal and
lawful business. If the Board of
Medical Examiners could withhold
license from an applicant in this
manner until he could appeal to the
courts for redress. making criminal
of him every time he prescribed for
or visited patient, they could not
only deprive him of valuable prop
