Chicken Success With Limited Cap

Written for American Poultry
Journal by Mrs. ]. +. Dillinger, Paris.

We moved to Missouri in the
sring and brought with us about six
dozen scrub hens and three or four
males. They were anything and ev-
erything, and the poultry house al
ready there-well. it was next to I'M
possible Other improvements on
the farm called for all the time and
money, and it had to do for the sum
mer 1t is needless to say that we
hardly had eggs enough for our own
use, and none OF the hens set until
June, so fried chicken. or any other,
for that matter, was out OF the ques-
ton until late in the fall. In July
we resolved to turn over new leaf,
not waiting for the new year. we
sold all our mongrels on the market
for the magnificent sum of SI3. With
that we bought, from neighbor,
twenty-five Barred Plymouth Rock
hens and two cocks. Later on, as, a
little money came into the family
purse. we bought more. few at time,
until we had about sixty hens and FIVE
males. We paid from so to 10 cents
piece for them.
When we first came TO the place
the house we were to live in had two
old rooms TO the south that were un-
fit for use The man of the house"
tore them down and used the lumber,
ETC., for a new poultry house, build
ing it as large as the material on hand
would allow. 1t was about 80 feet
long by 10 feet wide, and consisted
of a room at each end, 10 by II, with
a scratching shed between, open only
to the south. One room had win
dow to the south and one on the east.
The other one at the south only.
Both rooms opened into the scratch
ing shed. The house was built with
a shed roof, 9 feet high at the back,
IL feet in front. Both rooms had
perches and nests The nests were
really built on the ground by means
of a board about inches high, run
ming the length OF the room, feet
from the wall, divided into nests by
shorter boards and half above the
nest. The perches were hinged and
could be raised, allowing the room to
be easily cleaned. The next summer
we used small house near by to set
the hens in.
We fed our poultry on what we
raised on the farm, such as sunhower
seeds, sorghum, kaffr corn, the poor
heads of cabbage, beets, and anything
else we had We kept the vegetables
