and egg product Not by any means
it for yourself. Watch the grocery
man or average egg buyer tlll a case
of eggs for market. No matter how
old or besmeared the case, just so long
as it will hold the eggs and nail to-
gether, it will do No attention is
paid to the smell Of the egg filters,
no sorting for color, no attention IS
paid to dirt or feathers sticking to
the shells. Most assuredly it would
take hungry person to fill up on the
stuff if they saw it first.
The same careless method is fol-
lowed in marketing fowls. Take a
walk in the market place In any city
and we get lesson. Right there we
find fowls of all ages, sizes and colors
in the same coop. might say with
out overdrawing that the coops are a
mixture of fowls, feathers and cor
ruption. At the average market place
it is relif to find coop evenly bal
anced up in size and color. A really
decent coop makes us draw more
satisfied breath.
In these days of cooperative cream
cries, grain elevators and other things
helpful to the producer, it is queer
that the most important and biggest
industry of all is neglected. Every
town Or poultry raising community
could advance the popularity of poul-
try and eggs as food and make money
while doing it. 1t can be operated as
individuals or as a company. Let me
say here, that after a groceryman has
handled few cases of eggs put up
as I have suggested, the matter of
price becomes secondary to keeping
that kind in stock. The cleaner and
more attractive appearance gives his
store a prestige, instead of making
an eyesore to tasty customers. There
is nothing more handsome than a
stock Of clean eggs in attractive car
ton; there is a responsiveness in a filthy
stock of eggs.

chase a grasshopper clear across an
acre lot. She needs the animal food.
The wise poultry raiser, therefore,
does the best he can to increase the
proportion of protein in the feed ration.
The best substitute for the worms and
bugs which nature supplies the hen, is
fresh cut green bone, such as the trim
mings from the butchers block. 1t is
rich in protein and lime and has the
added advantage of costing very little
more than the labor of cutting it.
We don't know of anything which
occupies higher place as an eco
nomical egg producer. 1t keeps hens
laying the year round. But more than
that it is an excellent growth pro-
moter and vitalizer. A flock fed fresh
cut raw bone will produce a larger
proportion of fertile eggs than can be
secured by any other method of feed
ing.
The egg producer, the broiler raiser
and the fancier all find green bone an
economical, profitable food

He Sold a Few Chickens.

If there is any doubt about the
chicken business being good in Wash
ington, talk with Mr.. F. C. Williams,
proprietor of the Woodland Park
Poultry Yards in this city should con-.
vince the most skeptical. Brother
Williams is a busy man. On the 5th
of this month he shipped an order
of 1000 birds to Hot Springs, Alaska,
where the purchaser, Mr.. H. Baker,
is going into the poultry business on
a large scale. The contract price for
this shipment was $2,65o. Before Mr..
Williams had completed shipment of
this order, he received and contracted
for another and larger order to be
shipped to Jas. S. Harrington, White
Horse, Alaska This contract calls for
$500 high scoring chickens consisting
of White Wyandottes, Barred Rocks,
White Rocks, Black Minorcas, and
Brown Leghorns. The contract price
is $500 f. o. b.. Seattle Pacific Poul-
trynan.

Choice Eggs for a Select Market.

The Denver Field and Farm gives
some good advice about producing and
handling eggs SO as to realize higher
price than that ruling in the markets
near you. All that is said is good,
so far as it goes; but we would add
that in case you wish to cater for
such a trade as is described, you
should not keep any male with your
flock, but send nothing but infertile
eggs to market
Any poultry raiser who has one or
more cases Of eggs in a week can
get from twenty to forty per cent more
for them by looking up a private mar
ket, some hotel, groceryman, eating
house, or the diners on trains. Put
the eggs up in cartons holding one
dozen EACH Put them up fresh and
clean and stamp them with a rubber
stamp. A trade can be worked up
with any city groceryman who caters
to high-class trade, Or it can be done
direct with the concerns mentioned
[ know whereof [ speak about these
things. [ know Of number who are
doing it. I know of single creamery
company that handle fifteen cars of
eggs a month in pretty much the same
way. [ know of men who are making
a nice thing out Of it, and there is
plenty of room left.
There is nothing that we eat that
goes on the market in such a hap
hazard filthy condition as the poultry

Capons VS.. Brooders.

A correspondent of Successful
Poultry makes a statement which
needs no comment:
Pessimists say there is nothing new
under the sun" That old adage Ito put
it mildly is 6b. In this age of
most wonderful scientific progress we
all know and see many, many new
things of unquestioned utility that
have belonged to no past age. This
"something new" is not mere theory,
but safeguard and dollar -bringer for
raising earliest chicks successfully.
In January, 1905, we hatched with
incubators $40 chicks of the same pure
breed. We put 42o chicks in the arti-
fetal brooders and gave 42o chicks

To Get More Eggs.

The editor Of Poultry says:
Other things being equal, the hen
provided with food richest in protein
and other egg-making materials will
produce more eggs than the hen fed
rations in which these food elements
are deficient
It is a well-known fact that the
grains usually fed are deficient in pro-
tein. That is why poultry relishes ami
NAL life of all kinds, why a hen will

What Do We Need?

Wnat do we Need?
A correspondent of the Poultry
Tribune discusses a very important
question in a late number of that pa
per, as follows:
What do we need most-new breeds
Or better bred birds of the established
breeds.
AS we have not conquered the
worlds, already in sight, why seek new
ones? For this reason only, some
would-be fancier may be so pleased
with the new breed that he will take
it up. Instead of worrying that the
business will be overdone, we are glad
to see beginners, provided they have
sufficient stlck-to-lt-iveness TO brace
up when discouraged and try again.
1t seems to me that we now have
SO many established varieties Of fowls
that need attention in order to be more
nearly perfect, that we have no time
to take up the making Of new breeds.
In weight, we have the light, medium,
or heavy. In color, we almost rival
a rainbow, and the varied shapes
surely leave nothing to be desired.
In spite of this, many fanciers, after
getting a good start with a breed,
getting it established and connected
with their names, start with a new
breed. Why? Is not the first salts
factory, Or are they the kind of peo-
pie whom nothing could satisfy? From
a financial point Of view consider
them very foolish.
It is no small matter to build up
a strain of fowls and connect ones
name so intimately with it that when
this breed is mentioned, every reader
of the advertisements in the various
poultry papers thinks of you in con-
nection with it. When you have gain
ed this point you are on the high
road to success, and to quit this breed
at this time and start with another
one, even though it be new one,
is like falling Oft ladder and having
to begin the climb all over again. A
lifetime is not too long to study one
breed of fowls, SO why stop when
we'll started and take up new breed
or try to establish new one.
What we need is more high-class
birds of the we'll known varieties, not
new breeds. No less an authority than
7. F. McGrew, in recent number
of The Feather, says that Wyandottes
have not improved in shape to any
noticeable extent during the past ten
years; commenting on this fact (Which
he acknowledges is a fact), Miller
Purvis says in Poultry for SEPTEMBER
that there has been no improvement
in Silver Wyandotte color in recent
years. He further says, "We wiling
ly admit that very fine Silver Wyan-
dottes appear in the show room from
time to time, but the average of the
variety is no better than when it was
admitted to the Standard"
No one will deny that the Wyan-
dotte shape needs Improvement. A
more important point than either
shape or color is increased egg pro-
duction. Are we working for that
as we should? Of course, there is
decided improvement in this direction,
but not near what there would be
were even two-thirds of the poultry
raisers to make determined effort i'll
that direction. Most Of us do not
need advice; we need only to put what
we know into practice. While the
making of new breed may be fas-
cinating study, it can hardly be more
so than perfecting an old one.

POULTRY DEPARTMENT

to twenty-one capons. Each capon
had twenty chicks to brood, which
we feared was too many, and II we
were doing it over again we would
give each capon fifteen chicks.
For the benefit of many readers who
don't know exactly what a capon is
let us explain: A capon is a young
rooster that has been unsexed by
surgical operation. 1t is then neither
a rooster nor hen. Becomes lazy,
fat and sweet tempered, bearing like
relation to a rooster as steer 1oes
to a bull. Capons will "mother"
chicks as carefully as hens. We bought
these tWenty-one CapOns at So each
from a Philadelphia commission mer-
chant They were nine months old
and averaged ten pounds each i'll
weight.
Every 22 days we took the chicks
from the capons and put a new lot
of chicks under them fresh from the
incubators, thus using the capons for
mothers to each lot of newly Matched
chicks, to make sure the chicks would
have an extra good start, then put
them in the brooders when Fl days
old.
Here is "the proof of the pudding:"
Out of the capon-mothered chicks we
lost five. Of the brooder chicks we
lost 43.
We had an order from hotel for
broilers at two pounds weight at so
cents pound Or one dollar each
broiler. The capon chicks averaged
two pounds each in twelve weeks, the
brooder chicks took fourteen and q
half weeks to average two pounds.
They were all cared for and fed alike.
We started even and received $4I5
for capon broilers, and $377 for the
brooder lot A difference of $38 in
favor of the capon-started chicks. We
tried this over three times with like
results, then fattened and sold the
capon mothers in June, averaging IA
pounds each at $4.2o, which is 80 cents
a pound. This adds $462o more tc
the capon's credit or a gain over ex
elusive brooder raising of $780,.
We found that the feed Of the ca
pons and the oil for the brooders cost
approximately the same.
SUMMARIZED
Capon broilers sold .$4I5 90
The Florida agriculturist., 1907-11-27

The above does not take into ac-
count the interest or labor. Therefore
we recommend using capons as start
ers, not alone, but in combination with
artificial brooderS.
