Small Broilers.

This spring we saw, for the first
time, in Jacksonville, very small
broilers, not over three quarters of
a pound each, they were retailing at
As cents. About two weeks later we
sold, to dealer, young chickens
weighing three-fourths of pound, at
80 cents each right here in Switzer-
land.
1t is much more profitable to sell
small broilers at high price than to
feed them several weeks longer and
then get no more, often not SO much.
The Journal Of Agriculture says:
One of the growing industries is
the production of small broilers
weighing less than a pound, usually
less than three-fourths of a pound.
In hotels in the large cities there is
heavy demand for such birds, es-
pecially very early in the spring. AS
high as 50 cents have been paid for
these broilers, though they are not
as large as pigeon. One farmer,
living in New Jersey, has sold over
5000 this spring, and the average
price has been little better than 70
cents each. The chicks should not
be fed for the first day. On the
second day they may be given few
broken crackers, softened in water
and a little bird seed or prepared
chick feed After that a liberal
amount Of dry cracked feeds and
small grains are fed and occasionally
an addition of little meat meal
should be added, if the birds do not
have the freedom of a sufficiently
large run where they can find an
abundance of insects.
When six or eight weeks Of age,
they are ready to ship. Birds can be
raised to this age with very small
outlay, and if the reader lives near
large center he can find this a
profitable business The birds are
generally dressed and shipped direct
to the large hotels and cafes.

would come to maturity in sounder
physical condition, with stronger
constitutions
Lice most certainly cause much
loss of growth in the chicks, and de-
cidedly lower the constitutional vigor
One argument in favor of Matching
the chicks in incubators and raising
them in brooders is that they are
then free from lice, SO long as they
are kept away from contact with
lousy hens. Chickens Matched by
hens may be practically free from
lice if the mother hen is we'll busted
with good insect powder three
times, about week apart, during the
three weeks of sitting. This busting,
if thoroughly done, will kill all the
lice then alive on the hen, but can
not reach the ''nits'' (eggs), which
are to be seen clustered around the
shafts of the feathers, close to the
hens body. Shortly these nits hatch
out another flock of lice, which be-
gin to reproduce their kind in few
days, and the hen becomes popu1ous
again; hence the advice to duEt the
hen three times, about a week apart,
and thus catch the newly Matched
lice before they have reached maturi-
ty and laid more nits. We want to
emphasize the idea of "good" insect
powder because, unfortunately, some
of the insect powders on the market
are very much adulterated and are
less effective than they should be-
Eternal vigilance is the price we
must pay for the best success with
poultry, and it is the best success
that gives both personal satisfaction
and the best profits. That, after all,
is the last analysis of all Our effort
the cash profit that results. Every
observing poultry grower knows that
the strong constitutional and splen-
didly vigorous birds are the ones that
pay us best, and those are the birds
that are we'll Matched and we'll grown
that have suffered no check to

shells till they have reached full ma

The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1907-05-29
Keep the Chicks Growing.

The following good advice is from
Green's Fruit Grower:
Overlooking is a common cause of
check to growth, and it not only
checks the growth but is. a serious
waste of foods which costs money.
1t may seem odd to some that grow
ing chicks can possibly be overfed,
but they are much more frequently
than we think A successful chicken
raiser in New Jersey told me that
his greatest trouble was to guard
against overlooking, that chick that
ate too much was dumpish for day
or two and the growth stopped for
that time His rule was to shut off
the food from a pen where any food
was left uneaten ten. minutes, after
they had been fed, and let them rest
up a bit. The onl y safe rule for
feeding is to feed little at time
and feed often, and the. real difficulty
is to feed the little. In Our desire
to have the youngsters make a good
growth we are apt to put down just
little more, and then we have done
mischief by overlooking! If we
could only realize that overlooking is
really a cruelty to the chicks as well
as waste of food, we would be
more considerable The advice of an
old and most successful chicken and
duck grower is to keep them just. a
little hungry, which is but another
form of the rule given by Franklin
for humans to follow-namely y
Rise. from the table with still a
little appetite remaining That is
common sense for both human and
chickens, and if we would apply it
to feeding the youngsters, not only
would they make better growth, but
