How I Raise Chickens.

A poultryman writing, from Savan-
nah. Ga. to the Southern Ruralist
gives an account of his method of
raising chicks:
After nearly twelve years in the
poultry business 1 made bold to as
sert that chickens can not be sue
cessfully raised unless one has a nat
ural love for them, a love that will
make it pleasure to give them con-
slant care and attention. At one
time it was the rule when I visited
the brOOder house in the morning to
find there sick and dead chicks, but
now my percentage of loss is so lit
tie that L can count on raising nearly
every chick I put in the brOoder
house.
L will not allude to the incubating
process. as this article deals only
with them after they are Matched.
The chicks are left in the incubator
twenty-four hours after they are
Matched, then taken in flannel lined
basket to the brooder house. where
everything has been prepared for
them. The brooder has already been
heated to 80 degrees temperature.
My brooder house, brooders. grit.
shell, charcoal and bone meal boxes
are all built by me, cost little or
nothing, but fill the bill.
The Florida agriculturist., 1906-03-14

days in the litter that is in their
runs outside. l never put more than
fifty chicks in brOOder and as they
grow and feather, thin them out, if
possible, to thirty.
My system is entirely my own and
my record shows that of the 455
chicks put in this brOoder house
Qast raising the mortality among
them was not two per cent.
1t would not be just to take all the
credit of successfully raising these
chicks entirely to myself for L have
in my good wife, most able assis
tant. | have endeavored to explain
my system but if any sister or brother
is interested but does not understand
it fully, it will give me great pleasure
to put them on what believe to be the
right path.
The Florida agriculturist., 1906-03-14
the ones that he saw are not the only
ones who are doing the same thing.


ones who are doing the same thing.
We went out today to look at some
chickens and came home feeling dis
appointed. We visited three or four
different fiOcks, and while the owners
of the fowls did not claim to be fan
ciers. and said that they were keep
ing their fowls for their own use and
help but feel that each of them was
making a mistake.
The fowls were mostly high class.
and there were many real fine speci-
mems in each flock that we saw. One
bunch of s. G. Brown Leghorns were
especially nice-some of the hens be-
ing of good exhibition quality. But
they were running with others that
were not much better than half breeds.
and i'm the way of male birds there
was a most generous Over-supply. We
counted six or seven to thirty four
females and some of them were very
ordinary, while others were high up in
quality.
We saw at glance the possibilities
of that flock, and we urged the owner
of it to go right to work and put up
separate run and pick out several of
his best hens. and one of the nice
trim young roOsters which were dodg-
ing older heavier and much inferior
cocks, and give the former a chance
to display himself under favorable
conditions. We said to the owner:
''DO this. and do it now. Make up a
select mating of these fine specimens
n, ,a1, 7 a11@
then set eggs from them only and you
will be most pleasantly surprised at
the result
But he seemed to think it hardly
worth while. They all looked good
enough to him, and he didn't care to
go to the expense and the bother of a
special mating
And so we presume he will go on
and breed from his miscellaneous
flock this year and next, and so run
it out entirely, as we also noticed
some common chickens sharing the
same commons near by.
Now. it seems to us that that man.
who seems to be set in his way, is
using very bad judgment i'm managing
his fowls. He likes them and cares
for them nicely, and the hens look
thrifty and well fed. He ought to
forge ahead instead of falling back
in quality. Still. this is a mistake
that hundreds of people who have
chickens are making. They have some
very good specimens from which they
might. if they would. breed their gen
eral flock up to a very high grade i'm
quality, but they are content to just
let it drift and drift, and so finally
run down to mere mOngrels. This is
4 big mistake. We should try to
breed up all the time.

Notes From Forty Years
Evnerionoo
Experience.

|
There is an old proverb which says,
"WhO shall decide when doctors dis
agree?" There is no business in which
there is more disagreement about the
best methods than i'm keeping poultry.
Another pOultry-keeper, also in GeOr-
gia, wrote the result of his experience
to the Southern Ruralist as follows:
In response to your CALL 1 herewith

keepers are not aware of it but lice
