The Diary of a Chicken.

The writer of the following from
the Youths Companion, evidently
credits a very young chicken with a
great deal of Human Nature

got in, but | think I'll pick my way

Second Day.
I'm out. 1 picked. 1 don't see how
that shell held me. L was too big for
it.
Third Day.
l have a mother. She is named hen.
| thought at first it was feathers, but
it turned out to be mother. Wasn't
that queer?
Fourth Day.
This is the greatest day of my life.
| found a worm. L found it all by my
self. Mother clucked and told me
when to look, but 1 did my own
scratching.
Fifth Day.
1t is fine to get up high and see the
world. L got on Mothers back, and L
could see everything. | suppose there
are not many chickens as smart as 1
am.
Sixth Day.
L don't like that giant named Little
Girl that brings our meals; the meal
is very nice, but a big giant like that
is in the way. She takes up too much
room.
Seventh Day.
l want to leave Mother and go out
into the world and be a big hen. 1

about my failure, and would ask the
price of eggs and chickens when my
incubator was mentioned.
l filled the incubator again after
waiting for the weather to moderate,
and got an excellent hatch.
AS soon as these were out 1 filled it
again with eggs from pure bred fowls
purchased from a breeder in differ
ent section of the state.
The incredulOus ones were con-
WINGED at last and a great many were
anxious to be present and witness this
last hatch come off if 1 would tell
them when it was done. This L knew
would be unwise, for while L was
very proud of my machine and my
success, L dared not risk endangering
this hatch by attempting to exhibit
the working of the incubator to en-
terrain the OnlOOkers.
After seeing what a fine hatch of
thrifty, vigorous chicks L took off,
one woman was very anxious to have
me hatch one brood for her.
After such a poor beginning some
would have grown discouraged and
set it aside, but | have found that it
paid for itself and some over the first
season, and would not think of doing
without it for twice its cost price.
My chicks were healthy, free from
vermin, grew quickly, could be shut
up at will, and my pullets are 50 gen
tie L can handle them with pleasure.
By all means try an incubator, and
if you follow instructions, mixed with
common sense, you will not regret
buying one.

Buy an Incubator.

A lady writes to the Western Fruit
Grower an account of her experience
as follows:
By all means buy an incubator, if
you have as many as two dozen good
hens; and buy it early in the season,
too, as the early Matched chicks are
the ones that bring the top prices.
Last winter | wanted to get me an
incubator, but found there were so
many different makes advertised that
was puzzled to decide on which one
to risk.
L had but little money to spare for
an incubator, and none at all to waste
in experimenting with one that was
unreliable.
After closely studying various cata-
logues, L finally purchased one that l
have found to be so simple of con-
structiOn that it practically runs it
self, as it requires but little attention.
L got a 10O-egg size and brOoder
to match and received them about
the middle of February.
The weather was cold, and | found
that the book of instructions warned
me against using eggs that were
chilled, but L was very eager to put
my incubator to work and decided to
risk using the eggs anyway.
The result was very poor hatch,
and after little figuring l found that
the market value of the eggs and the
cost of the Oil was more than my
chickens would be worth at two
months old.
Nv faith WAS still mistaken al

men, but we believe that the same

men, but we believe that the same
thing could be done here.
There is an enormous demand for
bullets and hens this season. Several
have spoken of it within a few days,
and we found a number who were all
sold out of surplus stock as early as
October. A letter recently received
from J. w. Parks, Altoona, Pa, the
breeder of great laying Barred Ply
mouth Rocks, caps the climax in this
regard. He tells that he recently
had an urgent call for a thousand
ready-tO-lay pullets, from an Advocate
reader in Cuba, and that he has had
to refuse orders '(offered) for over
three hundred thousand females this
season. As this is a similar story to
what others are telling it is a fair indi-
cation of the tremendous call there is
this year for good birds.
Why isn't the raising of young
stock to sell a good way to increase
ones capital, to make the way to in
creasing ones own business? This
is a question we put up to a young
man only a day or two ago, when
he complained that he lacked capital
W Dullu up Ills purity PAM anu
business. If he would raise a hundred
extra pullets each summer, hundred
more than he wanted to keep himself,
he could sell them for $500, $125 or
$50. and have so much clear gain or
capital which would build sub
stantial addition to his poultry plant.
True, the pullets would have eaten
$50 or $50 worth of food, but the cock
erels Matched with the pullets would
have sold for enough, Gf rightly
grown and sold to market) to pay
for the food of both themselves and
the pullets, and the pullets at laying
maturity would have cost nothing
but the labor of Matching and raising
the 200 chickens.
That this is fact we have repeat
edIy proved in our own experience,
and we recommend the idea to young
men who haven't desired capital.
Only yesterday we met pOultryman
who was just delivering dozen chick
ems at a market in Brockton. The
chickens weighed 4 and One-half to
} pounds apiece, and he was selling
them for twenty cents a pound; or,
in other words, he was getting 80
cents to 81. apiece for them. That
sum would pay for the food they had
eaten and the food to raise a pullet
maturity also.
Let us hatch and raise more pullets
next year, and thus be able to supply
the great (and rapidly growing) de-
mand for good laying-breeding stock.

Chickens With a Pedigree.

We have found a remarkable story
i'll the American Cultivator. 1t may
be true, but we feel inclined to be-
lieve that it is only a reporters yarn.
One of the most remarkable in
dustrieS which the twentieth century
has given birth to is reported estab-
liShed by a number of New York
gentlemen at Mamakating, Sullivan
Co., n. Y, under the title of the San
itary and Pedigree Poultry Institution.
The purpose is to supply New York
city's rich with chickens that are alb
solutely healthful and carefully de-
velOped.
Two thousand butchered fowls are
to be shipped into New York daily
Each fowl is accompanied by an aft
davit and pedigree, also a silver disc,
which is to remain on the chicken I'M
til it is served on the table. The
breed of fowls produced is the old
Southern black and white Dominick,
sometimes called the cross-haired
Plymouth Rock. The speciality of the
institution is broiling or frying birds
or young roasting fowls.
The food on which the fowls are
fed is a secret, but it is given out
that all broilers and fryers are cocoa
fed until they reach the age of ten
weeks.
The originator of the sanitary pOul-
try idea has experimental with this
problem for over thirty years, and the
fowls produced under his theories are
so healthful that the poultry company
guards the secret so carefully that
absolutely no live fowls will be sold
under any circumstances, nor will any
eggs be marketed that Will hatch.
Every bird is dressed so that an eX-
animation of the crop and digestive
organs of the chickens cannot be made
by those who would try to discover
the secret.
The prices charged will make one
give a whistle of establishment at
first, but OH the second consideration
the matter of breeding and keeping
will explain the price. They are as
follows:
Single broilers or fryers, one in a
box, aged eight to ten weeks, dressed
$1.25 each.
ROaSters, two or three pounds, So;
three to four, $3.75; four to five, $3.50;
five to six, So. Nothing sold over six
pounds dressed.
Eggs, 81 per dozen, with affidavit
swearing to date of laying.
The gentlemen backing this unique
enterprise are confident of its success
and have purchased an immense tract
of land, are erecting extensive build
ings, which are more in the nature

Captain Nutmeg's Goose Farm.

Farm and Ranch prints a poultry
story which is quite amusing. As to
believing it, we think that the writer
| is a rival of Baron Munchausen
The Captain was a Yankee, of
course, and it seems very appropriate
that he lived in COnnecticut-th state
made famous by wooden nutmegs-
but he assured that the Captain him
self was not wooden, for his intellect
was as keen as a razor and many is
the tale his old neighbOrs tell of his
shrewdness and ingenuity.
He was raised in the Green Noun
tainS, i'm old Vermont, and he had in
his veins the strong blood of the hardy
pioneers who fought in the Revolu-
tiOnary war with Ethan Allan and Col.
Stark, the latter of whom is reported
as saying: See, boys, there are the
Red-cOats. We must whip them to-
day or MOllie Stark is widow
He had gone to the war in 81, and
held up his end on many a hard fought
battle field, but he was badly wound

He had kept few geese in his
youth and now, in his extremity, he

selected Il little farm near GOOseneck

1t was Il peculiar coincidence that
GOOSeneck Bend which had been
named from its gOOSenecked shape,

for goose farming. for there were
wide marshy flats that thanked the

abundant.

to sell but which are not in good con-
dition for market You will do well
to cut this out, if you do not preserve
your papers, and file it safely away
where it will be at hand when needed.
In a recent issue | noticed your arh-
Gle on the method employed in fatten-
ing chickens in large plants arranged
for this purpose throughout the cOun-
try. However, you gave only partial
formula of the feed used in this fat
tening, and the part you left out L
consider very important; therefore l
give you the exact formula used by
a large feeder of Boston, who has
plants i'm all the towns in this terri
tory. The ration is composed as fol
lows:
Take equal parts of oatmeal, gra-
ham flour, and cOrnmeal, and for
every hundred pounds of the dry feed
add six pounds of brown sugar and
three pounds Of tallOw. Mix with but
termilk or sour milk so it will pour
out of pitcher. After each meal
mix milk and the dry feed for the
next meal Put in three ounces of
soda for every hundred head of
chickens. The soda sweetens the mix
ture and makes it light and palatable
for the fowls. l use this ration for
my capOns every year and can recon-
mend it. Do not fail to keep plenty
of charcoal and grit before the
chickens. Keep them away from
noise and excitement and feed twice
a day at regular hours. L feed at
nine and four O'Clock, and never feed
except when cOOped.
Last year L fed forty-nine capons
and made gain of nearly pound
per head in fourteen days, which at
Ii cents a pound for all birds weigh
ing over eight pounds, is good returns.
This year L had nearly one hundred
birds far better than my bunch last
year. They are all pure bred Barred
Rocks, which L did not care to sell
as breeders. L do my own capOnizing
and feeding. From this statement you
can obtain an idea of the method and
profit of fattening fowls for market.
The following, from the Packer,
shows that the writer. of the above
had the true recipe, only slightly i'm
proved.
For Fattening Poultry.
Early in September The Packer man,
while travelling through Iowa in his
search for news, accidentally ran
across the recipe for mixing the feed
for milk fed poultry. The item con-
tanning this infOrma ton, though small
and in an obscure part of the paper, has
brought inquiries from all parts of
the country for further information
regarding the mixture. Upon the re
ceipt of the first few letters The Pack
er began to try to get the Armour and
Swift people, who, by the way, are
using the preparation, to talk. They
fatty refused, and after further in
veStigatiOn The Packer discovered that
it had published carefully guarded
secret.
So many letters have been received
from readers asking for this recipe,
and as it has already been published,
The Packer reprints it as follows:
DRY mix 100 pounds cornmeal or
corn flour with 100 pounds of Oat flour
or Oat siftings; enough buttermilk or
sour milk to mix to the right cOnSis-
tency. Add melted tallOW according
to the condition of the birdS.''
