For market | consider it important
to have white breed of fowls be-
cause the birds present nice clean
appearance when picked. In raising
rOOsters should want a large breed
1t is important to have healthy, vigor-
GUS stock to start with, to keep the
chicks growing by feeding well, and to
keep the broOders and houses clean,
to give all the feed the birds want
but not leave any by them all the time
as they don't seem to have such good
appetites if that is done and the mash
will SOUR and be wasted. Birds should
always have a chance to eXercise.-(W.

Experience, not theory. Regulating
chick production to the ability to care
properly for the number of chicks
hatched. Never placing more than 20
chicks in one brood until they are fully
feathered or at least two months old.
Dryness of quarters, systematic regu-
lar feeding. strictest cleanliness, pure
water in abundance, free range, with
holding all food and water from
chicks until the yOlk is absorbed, that
is. until nearly two days old.-(G. G..
Kimball, Stark County, o.
Strictest cleanliness. daily cleaning
of cOOps, fresh water, clean drinking
utensils, plenty of clabbered milk,
free range, liberal feeding, eternal Wig
ilance and living up to agreement.
Under this system l rarely lose a
chick. NeighbOrs say I'm lucky but it
is good care and regularity. Another
thing l think essential is ample room
in cOOps. Over-crowding is bad
Mrs. GOmperts, Lake County, Fla.
l consider it not only important but
imperative, that a person to succeed
in any branch of the poultry business
love poultry. He must be active, ear
nest, and willing to work early and
late and to attend strictly to details
for the business is made up of such.
He must have good judgment and a
sharp eye for prompt action will many
times make the difference between
success and failure.-(E. d. Page, Pc

largely into the ration meat meal is
to be preferred to beef scraps for egg
production. Meat meal will usually
keep well in any climate, if not al
lowed to become damp.
Blood meal or blood flour is used
some by poultry keepers as a source
of animal protein. 1t is very highly
concentrated and should be used in
small quantities. A good article will
contain about S5 per cent protein; in
fact, it is nearly all protein. 1t is
only serviceable for mixing in a moist
mash. The cost is considerable more
than beef scraps or meat meal, but in
some cases it may not be expensive,
especially where it is used to balance
a ration of cheap ground grains low
i'm protein.
Fish meal is largely the refuse after
extracting the glue. 1t has the right
elements for a good egg producing
food, but cannot be fed i'm large guam
titles. as it is apt to impart a disa-
greeable flavor to the eggs. 1t usual
ly contains about 40 per cent. protein
and two per cent. fat
Bone is prepared in several ways
for poultry There is fine ground
bone meal, granulated and cracked
bone, protein, five per cent. fat and
60 per cent. ash or mineral kettle
rendered or subjected to high steam
pressure losses much of it's nutritive
value.
Digested tankage is a meat meal
feed made from the residue of slaught-
er houses, which is being used to some
extent by poultry keepers, though Or
iginally designed as a hog feed. Some
brands are claimed to contain 60 per
cent. protein and are sold at a lower
price than meat meal. 1 have never
used this product and would not care
to, unless was assured it was whole
some.

Poultry Raising Essentials

Several correspondents of the Ameni-

on this subject and the editor punched
them as follows:
Ffrst-class birds as parent stock
The Florida agriculturist., 1906-03-07

In many states all the meat products
here mentioned are required by law to
have printed on the bag. or attached
thereto. the guaranteed analysis of its
contents, so the buyer can tell pretty
well what he is buying. Occasionally
a product will fall below the guaran-
tee. but in most cases the guarantee
is decidedly low. When purchased
of a reliable dealer there is very little
likelihood of goods being adulterated
or of inferior feeding value to the
claims made for them.
These prepared meat products make
a very convenient form of supplying
animal protein to the fowls and do
away with the work and worry Incl
dent to cutting fresh bone, for which
they make a very good substitute
They are the feeds for the busy man.
and the various products are such as
to meet his requirements whether he
feeds an all dry or moist ration. Beef
scraps and meat meal can be fed in
larger quantities than fresh cut bone,
as they are less liable to cause bowel
trouble, and in mixing mash meal
for laying hens l would make it 10
per cent. meat meal if no other animal
food is to be given.
Personally, l prefer beef scraps for
growing chicks, and as 1 am now
practicing feeding all ground grain
from hOppers, like to feed beef scraps
in the same way, then if the birds do
not take what 1 consider a sufficient
quantity of animal food, l can give
them an occasional feed of fresh cut
green bone. If fine ground grain we
can more closely regulate the quantity
the birds consume, but | have never
tried this method, although 1 have oft
Ell seen it recommended, and have no
doubt the results would be as good as
in feeding beef scraps from a separate
hopper.
Poultry keepers with small fiocks
who do not care to go to the expense
of purchasing a bone cutter, or who
have not the time to cut bone or the
facilities for securing it, will find good
substitutes and reliable sources of
animal food in the prepared meat pro-
ducts.

EGG INDucER WORKED TOO WELL.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir Your issue of the 18th contains an interesting
account of a professor of chemistry who after deep
study and many experiments, has finally induced
his hens to lay ham and eggs 1t will doubtless oc-
cur TO you that it is fairly up some pro
fessor Of botany to take in hand the eggplant with
the view to Its producing omelets at early day.
I write however. for the purpose OF saying that
although the professor OF chemistry may, as a
ward for his great ''boon'-as ARENAS Ward
would have called tito the human race be en-
titled to anything that he may receive from his
grateful countrymen and others. yet his contri-
vance for making a hen lay two eggs a day is
fragrant infringement a patent issued TO the
late Louis GAYLORD Clark. the Editor OF the old
.Kn!ckerbocker Magazine" which many old New
Workers still remember with affection.
Mr. CIark's invention worked as follows: The
egg dropped upon springboard. placed a little be-
low the hen, which quietly turning. gently depos-
tied the egg in the receptacle beneath and iu1ne-
dIately resumed its former position. The hen, nat
urally turning around. and seeing no egg where
she certainly expected one would be- considers her

METZ FUNNY, SAYS COLER.
Replies S0rcasticaIly to Controllers
Remarks on Reform Takers"

Borough President CoIer OF Brooklyn. had
rev things to say about Controller Metz last
night when he read the latter's remarks, In the
evening papers, about "reformers'' and takers"
Controller Metz also said, among other things
that he was going to run his Office without any
butting in by outsiders" He declared that cit
was about time that some one showed up the
real motives OF some of our reformers." Mr.
Coler said. last night:
Metz is a nice man. He means well but he
has been retarded IN his intellectual growth.
When he finds out that he is wrong he will no
ooubt frankly admit it, have hopes that soma
or these days, after he has had some more ex-
trolIer Meanwhile, If he isn't careful and doesn't
stop talking, Pat McCarren may find it neces-
sary 10 spank him Really Metz is an awfully
nice young fellow He's perfectly honest, and
ne means we'll don't bear any hard feelings
for what he has said He's just funny to
one thing that particularly amuses is that
Metz has just found that I a seat in the
Stock Exchange Why, that seats worth $780,
UoO I've owned 1t ever since 1894, and
thought that everybody knew all about it.
Every one connected with my firm ordered
when l first took office. TO handle no stock Of
any railroad that would be likely to have rela-
tons with the Brooklyn Rapid Transit wanted
to be free Say, if had known how my cam
paign against the railroad company was going
10 ron Metz, 1 would most certainly have con-
suited him over my plans before starting in
with them
Mr.. Coler said that II the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company took his advice its stocks
would rise Is per cent in value. Further
more he asserted, Il am wholly responsible
for the order issued by Commissioner Dunno
compelling the company to repavs certain
tracks,"
Concerning the charge that Mr.. Metz held
bank stock in Brooklyn and other investments
that were not in line with disinterestedness the
Controller vehementIy denied this He said:
never had a dollars worth Of stock in the
Brooklyn Bank or in other bank outside OF
the Borough Bank. in which I held 100 shares
and believe had 20 shares in the Home Trust
Company. which I took at the request of Mr..
SWanstrom, when it was organized Before
taking Office sold my stock in both institutions
outright. did the same with my stock in the
Guardian Trust Company. in New-York, which
was the only other institution in which I was
financially interested.
never owned a dollars worth of real estate
IN Brooklyn outside Of my own home MY sense
or fitness dictates TO that public official
should be disinterested in matters coming before
him for official action
Concerning the ash contract, Mr.. Metz said he
should look to Commissioners Darlington and
Woodbury. for its certifcation in Brooklyn.
