POULTRY FEEDING.
An Important Phase of the Chicken
Growing Industry.

Poultry feeding is sometimes most
serious problem to those who desire to
make this line a speciality. Expert
ence has shown that there are certain
special lines of agricultural operations
with which poultry raising may adj
vantageously be connected. In dairy
ing there is usually a large quantity
of skim milk or butter-milk which
may be utilized to furnish a consider
able part of the poultry ration. Upon
the fruit farm fowls are also of adj
vantage. They keep down insect pests
and they may have a free range a
greater part of the season without the
possibility of doing any damage. Plum
growers have found poultry especially
useful in obliterating the curculio, and
even the apple crop has been consid-
erably benefited. If it is found that

ORIENTAL NCUBATORS.
Peculiar Facility of Chinese for Arti-
fetal catching.

If we are to look 9 the beginning
OF any particular industry, we are
usually told that we might find that
this particular work was first carried
on in China. This applies as well to
the artificial Matching of eggs.
Throughout China the Matching of eggs
by heat is a very large and important
industry and has been practiced since
very ancient times. The Oriental who
desires to hatch eggs by artificial heat
first constructs a building of sun
dried brick, plastered on the outside
with mud. Completely fill : one
side and the other also, except for
door space and sufficient room for a
man to test the eggs, are round, bar
rel-like mud brick walls with earthen
jars set into them. This jar is very
deep, and comes within six or eight
inches of the ground. The conical bot
tom is filled With ashes to the depth
of eight or nine inches, to keep the
temperature more uniform and to
avoid sudden changes of temperature
when doors are opened and there is a
strong wind. On the top of the ashes
is thrown a bit of old mat or similar
material to keep the baskets of eggs
clean and to prevent raising a dust
| when they are taken out. For hold
ing the eggs a basket is used that
leaves space of about an inch be-
tween it and the inner wall of the
| jar. Round and full, these baskets
each hold from 1900 to 1850 eggs.
After the eggs are put into the bas-
ket slow smoldering fire. made with
very fine charcoal, is started. After
day the eggs are taken out, hand
full at time. and put into a similar
| basket. This is done from two tt
-four times each day according to the
temperature. The Chinese use NJ
Thermometer to test the degree Of
heat attained in the incubator, the
eggs being simply touched to the eve
ball. After being in the incubator fol
-four days the eggs are tested to sex
il they contain living germ, by hold
ing them up to the light and lookin,
through them. Eggs containing nj

We all know that there is big money
in poultry. How much there is in it for
as, depends entirely upon ourselves and
whether or not we are keeping up with
the procession in raising the kind OF
chickens which bring the most cash
and in getting them into the market at
d time when the demand is greatest.
The value of poultry production for the
United States this season was but a
shade under that of wheat or cotton,
amounting to over half a billion dol
lars. Since the perfection of the in
cubator, the Importance of the indus
try has been greatly augmented. By
the use of this splendid device it is now
comparatively e.sy to bring in large
quantities of chickens for the winter
and early spring market when p 'ces
are very attractive. Hens can be
urged but they can not be made to set

into a big laying, heavy weighted and
highly profitable flock, that it seems
strange that there should be a single
flock of dung hills throughout the coun-
try. 1t costs no more to feed and care
for a broad brea sted Plymouth Rock,
or a Wyandotte, or a huge Light Brah-
ma, or any of a dozen other splendid
standard varieties than it does for the
common scrub, and with the low price
at which good eggs, or practically pure
bred cockerels can be had, it Is the
easiest thing imaginable to have, after
two or three years of systematic breed
ing, flock of chickens producing
three times the profit of the original
flock.
Standard Kinds of Chickens.
A fascinating little bulletin has been
issued by the Department of Agricul-
ture Farmers bulletin No. Sd which
is replete with illustra tons of the prin-
cipal standard varieties of chickens,
the reading of which by any chicken
grower, however small, should certain
ly stimulate New Year resolution to
make the flock a real money Garner.
TITS bulletin, while it will prove, prob
ably, mere stimulant for mo
extensive literature on the subject, can
be obtained without cost from Sena-
tors and Members of Congress, or the
Secretary of Agriculture, and the proof
of its popularity is apparent in the
seven or eight editions which it has
been necessary to publish to supply the
demand throughout the country.
Caponizing Fowls.
One of the most attractive features
of poultry raising is the production OF
capons. This is story all by itself.
1t is an experiment which one can en-
ter into and with very slight expend-.
iture for a set of instruments, can fol-
low it to any degree desired. 1t re-
quires some judgment and a little at
tention, but caponizing is not difficult;
it is one of those things which, while
it looks, in the beginning, to be hard
proposition, gradually comes to you all
of itself, so that the first thing you
know you become almost an expert,
and the reward is very considerable.
Capons always sell readily and at a
good advance in price. The birds be-
come very docile and easily handled
and are always money makers. The
readiness wit which the new capon

Dried clover, roots, tubers, etc, should
be saved for them during the winter.
These should be steamed and fed with
the mash or cabbaGes, and beets may
be fed raw. A catch crop of buckwheat
or oats and peas will furnish much
food at little expense. oran. meat,
meal, wheat screenings and oats pur-
chased for poultry will bring good re-
sturns in eggs and will also id ma
