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 ad-
vantag eously 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 iatching.

If we are to look 6 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 we'll to
the artificial Matching of eggs
Throughout China the Matching of eggs
by heat is 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 q
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 filed With ashes to the depth
of eight or nine inches, to keep the
temperature more uniform and to
avoid sudden changes of tempera ture
when doors are opened and there is a
strong wind. On the top Of the ashes
is thrown a bit of old mat or similaGI
material to keep the baskets of eggs
clean and to prevent raising dust
when they are taken out. For hold
ing the eggs a basket is used that
leaves a 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 smofde~ing fire, made with
very fine charcoal, is started. After
a day the eggs are taken out, hand
full at a time. and put into a similar
basket. This is done from two to
-four times each day according to the

Not Difficult to Manage.
While there is nothing complex or
difficult about the successful operation
of an incubator, close attention and ex-
actness are necessary; yet the results
are more than worth the effort. The
woman who fills her lamps regularly
every morning, and the man who
winds his watch Or clock at the
same hour every evening, need not
fear the task of running an incubator;
but unless one is willing to attend to
the few wants of his machine at the
right time, it will be unrea sonable to
look for a good Matching of chickens
from the best incubator upon the
market.

has found great delight in Matching

strange that there should be a single
flock of dung-hills throughout the coun.
try. It costs no more to feed and care
for a broad breas ted Plymouth Rock,
or Wyandotte, or 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 magina BILE to have, after
two or three years of systematic breed

three times the profit of the original

Standard Kinds of Chickens.
A fascinating little bulletin has been
issued by the Department Of Agricul-
ture (farmers' bulletin No. 81 which
is replete with illustrations of the prin-
cipal standard varieties of chickens,
the reading of which by any chicken
grower, however small, should certain

make the flock a real money Garner.
THis bulletin, while it will prove, prob
ably, a mere stimulant for mo e

Secretary of Agriculture, and the proof
of it's popularity is apparent in the
seven or eight editions which it has

Caponizing Fowls.
One of the most attractive features
Of poultry raising is the production Of
capons. This is a story all by itself.
1t is an experiment which one can en-
ter into and with a 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 a 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
good advance in price. The birds be-
come very docile and easily handled
and are always money makers. The

We all know that there is big money
in poultry. How much there is in it for
US, 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
a 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
if they do not wa to; the incubator
can be set at any time. All that is

wells usually so successful that
others. in the neighborhood quickly fol-
low his example. Nevertheless, there
is no danger of the poultry business
being overdone. It is one of the most
staple and profitable lines of business
in the world to-day, for it's products
are always in increasing demand in
every town and city in the world, and
throughout the entirn year.
But before going into the incubator
business it is necessary to have some
good egg producing machinery, that is,
good laying hens and comforta bic and
cheerful quarters, along with 60 Il
system of feeding, to induce them to
lay. The fertility of eggs is also af-
fected by the conditions of the hens.
The agricultural papers and poultry
journals are replete with information
upor the management of incubators,
and many books have been published

living germs are sold on the street for
food at about one-siXth of cent
each.
After being tested they are kept in
the jars for seven days, being
changed as before. This makes total
of eleven days in the jars. Then they
are taken in bamboo basket and
rolled out on a mat on the
platform above the jars. Here
they remain until hatched. The
only heat they receive is from the
room, except during cold weather they
are covered with a heavy quilt. After
they are Matched the chicks are put
in shallow baskets for n short time to
gain strength and then they are ready

necessary is a proper regard to the tenn

young chicks during the tender period
of their existence. The incubator has
interested thousands Of women and
children in the work of chicken raising,
and it is not to be said that the returns
are less profitable than blowing or
other heavy manual labor.
Cheap Machines the Most Expensive.
There are many excellent incubators
upon the market, but there are also
many cheap, imperfect machines, the

good results, become disguised and in

large f1ocks of fine chickens from
! them, but it was necessary to do a
little experimenting first to get the ma
chine in good working order, to keep
the lamp trimmed so that it burned a
clear, white fame and to do a dozen
other little things, which in very
short time made the owner as familiar
with the Incubator as with any other
simple piece of farm machinery.
The period of incubation is always
one of expectancy and when the chicks
begin to come forth from the shell
there is either keen joy or a decided
dampening of ardor, according as to
the results Of the hatch. But don't be-
come discOura ged if the first hatch
brings you only SO per cent. of chick
ems. Go right ahead, determined to
omit the mistakes of the first trial and
aim for 80 or 80 per cent. of the next
Matching, which you should get if you
have a good incubator and handle it
properly. After a little practice you
come to know your machine, how it is
acting and what it will do, as we'll as

you can gauge it even more closely

the onl ~ thing is to get good machine.
An Attractive Side Line.
The poultry business on the farm has
always been considered largely within
the province of the women folks, and
the enlargement of the industry by
utilizing incubatOrS has not changed
the situation, except that many others
than farmers wives are now raising
chickens from incuba tors.
Modern chicken raising, as it has
been adopted by thousands of people
owning small rural homes" said an
incubator agent to me recently, sac
counts for the sale of an enormous
number of our incubators and brooGers.
In fact, it is among this class largely
that we do business, and they are
making the money out Of it. A vast
field is still open among the more con-
serva+ive residents of the interior farm
sections, who still stick to old methods,
unaware of the comparative simplicity
or good incubator and of the great
profit possible through it's USE"

their livestock, very great addition
to the yearly income is realized. The

no additional income results, the barn.

THE AMERICAN INCUBATOR IN TURKEY.

After testing, it is stated that 80 per
cent. of those remaining will hatch.
This style of incubator probably
would not suit American requirements,
)ut the idea of utilizing the heat of the
room during the later stages of incuba-
ton is very valuable, as it economies
both heat and space.
