SUCCESSFUL BREEDER
OF BUFF oRPINGToNS
BY ]. ]. DEAN

AI HILE we have been breeding
w Buff Orpingtons for some ive
years. we have never exhibited
our birds until recently; first at Iodo-
ra park, Oakland, December, 1908, and
In January, at the two Los Angeles
shows. We have spared neither time,
effort or expense to make our stock
and plant equal to the best. We are
using as breeders our best winter
layers. and have bought quite a few
high class birds to make UP certain
matings. We are confident we are
nearer the standard for Orpington
shape and color this season than ever.
We have three large bull thlgs for
housing our poultry; broocCi house
rs feet long by IL feet wide, which con-
tains 18 pens, and is heated with open
steam, and two breeding houses, one
81 feet long by IL feet wide and con-
tanning pens, the other 1923 feet long
by IL feet wide, containing Is pens.
Runways for the brooder house are 64
feet long by feet wide; runways for
the other houses are about so feet long
by feet wide.
We breed Buff Orpingtons exclusive
ly, because We prefer them to any fowl
We have bred. They are good egg pro-
ducers, a quiet bird and we'll adapted
to confinement In yards. make excel
lent mothers-yet easily broken up
when broody-vigorous, healthy, choice
table fowl, and last but not least-a
handsome bird.

and struggled to obtain was the more
distinguishing characteristics above
enumerated, and that he achieved to
a large degree those qualities is evil
denced by the tremendous and unpre-
cedented development and the breeding
of these fowls In every country of the
world. No breed or variety of poultry
can stand long In public favor that is
devoid OF strong commercial qualities.
The fanciers and commercial poultry
men are each dependent upon the other.
The Buff Orpington has the very
strongest commercial qualities, and it
is the duty of every breeder to keep
these qualities before the public.
l shall not attempt to discuss the
table qualities nor the ability of this
popular variety or lay great number
of large, well-shaped brown eggs, as
these two are now commonly accepted
on every hand, but 1 shall eonfine my
self In this discussion largely to the
"size and type" of these beautiful birds.
First let us consider the question of
size. There are three things that go
to make up the size and weight of
any bird, viz; length, breadth and
thickness of the carcass. Now In the
Orpington that meets the requirements
of the standard you must have all
three dimensions well developed and
properly balanced; therefore, the birds
must have a long and level keel, which
means a long breast bone, carried low
down on short legs. and the hinder
parts of it's body sufficiently developed
to balance up the fowl. Oook through
this publication and study the pic
lures of birds and especially note their
length of keeL)
Many Of the breeders utterly fail
to comprehend this requirement, and
they are turning out birds that are
cut away at the breast, are shaped In
front like a Plymouth Rock, and do
not in any sense reach Orpngton
length on the keel. This long, level
Los Angeles herald., 1909-12-26

possible to get an Orpington of small
frame or small bone up to standard
weight except by stuffing 1t. AS q
general rule, you ought not to expect
to produce standard-sized birds from
a lot Of runts or specimens a pound
or two below weight. You must first
start to breed chicks from large, Wig
orous specimens of standard weight,
under normal conditions. 1t is a well
known fact that hens eggs will pro-
duce larger chicks than pullets', unless
the latter begin to lay in October or
November. Another thing to remem.
ber is never to set or incubate small
or misshapen eggs. Chicks to come
naturally to standard size and weight
ought to be hatched under hens In
March or April and early May Incu-
bator- r-hatched chickens and the brood
er-raised orphans generally fall short
a little in weight, vitality, and that
rare requisite of show quality The old
hen still has the stuffy incubator and
sinking brooder beaten in every stage
of the game. With her motherly care
and natural heat of the body she COM
bines brains with her lahore, and
teaches the little fellows what to eat,
how to get Ii, and how to grow and
exercise. You cannot put brains into
either an incubator or brooder.

keel, of course, results In a promi-
ment breast, which means q large
quantity OF juicy, white meat for the
table. Restaurateurs hit the nail on
the head when they advertise on their
bills of fare about as follows: "Chick-
en- pie, So cents; all breast meat, 90
cents" Mr.. Cook strove to develop
a table fowl with the largest possible
amount Of breast meat, as this is uni
formly considered the choicest dellcacy.
For this reason he introduced the
Dorking cross.
The next dimension necessary is
breadth-on the back. over the saddle.
across the breast, and over all the
body from bill to rump and from wing
to wing. This dimension also tends
to produce weight and general ap-
pearance of bigness. A narrow-breast-
ed bird, or one contracted or pinched
over the back or tail is usually worth
less and should be discarded.
third dimension is depth, or thick
ness. This means the distance through
from back to hook, from back through
breast and from back through rump.
1t takes all three of these dimensions
in an abundance to give the Orpington
size-not one of them, nor any two of
them, but all three in the right pro-
portions When all these are properly
combined in one bird we will have
Orpington size and standard weight.
Let me say word about standard
weight, my idea being that bird
shall be up to standard weight when in
normal condition when 1t enters the
breeding pen, and not after 1t has been
closely confined three or four weeks
and stuffed until 1t gains from one
pound to two pounds in order to bring
It up to the required weight. Another
important requisite to get standard
weight is to have a sufficiently large
frame on which to carry the meat OF
the bird. Naturally, it Is almost irn-

When Eggs Are Fertile

The question is often asked by the
beginner in the poultry business, How
long after 1 pen my hens with the cock
will the eggs be fertile? This ques-
tion is an important one, and, of course,
has never been settled to a certainty.
1t depends oftentimes upon the condi-
tion OF the birds. A number of tests
have been made, and basing our con-
cluslons upon the reports of all of
them, we think the following is not far
from correct:
Eggs gathered at any time during
the first week of the mating, not more
than 80 per cent are fertile.
Eggs gathered during the second
week after mating from 40 to 80 per
cent will hatch.
Eggs gathered during the third week
after mating from so to 80 per cent will
prove fertile. From this, IL you wish
greater chance for fertile eggs, the
fowls should be mated at least three
weeks before you wish to set the eggs
These figures are based on ideal con-
ditions and upon matings of strong,
vigorous stock. Experiments have
proven that the male will fertilize
three or four eggs at one service of the
female. Tests have been made where
the male fertilized a greater number.
some claiming as many as seven eggs.
Now, If your hens have been running
with a male of another breed 1t Is per-
fectly plain that they should be sepa-
rated at least two weeks before all
trace If the fertilization of the former
male is lost, for the reason that many
hens, especially In early spring, lay
an egg only every other day. 1t is al
ways dangerous and very bad practice
to allow hens to run with males of any
other breed or of their own breed, ex-
cept during the breeding season. The
hens without male will do better, will
lay more eggs, and the eggs can be pre-
served for a longer time.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-12-26

plant IN mems, just as IL does IN men.
Poultry brings returns as quickly as
any investment that can be made.
When the supply of natural meat is
lacking or scant 1t is up to you to give
them meat scrap, bone-meal, green cut
bone or a plentiful supply of skim
milk or cottage cheese. Beef scrap
can be purchased by the bag. 1t is a
packing house refuse that makes good
poultry feed Fowls always prefer
bones that are cut or broken into small
pieces with meat either raw or cooked
adhering to them. The hens do not
care for the commercial bone, unless
such is free from the odor of ammonia
or decaying matter Dry bones, either
broken or ground, will be eaten, but
not so readily as those that are fresh.
Fresh bones are not easily ground In
any kind of mill. They are usually
steamed in order to render them brit
tie, or placed in the oven and burned.
OF course, when subjected to heat they
lose more or less nitrogenous matter,
such as meat or gelatine. With a
bone cutter all kinds Of bones can be
prepared for the fowls.
The poultry on free range will gener-
ally pick up enough insect life to keep
in good health. but the confined birds
need some attention from the keeper.
Ducks and geese get snails and shell
fish If given a chance in natural water.
They also get many ground beetles,
etc. Turkeys on free range are after
grasshoppers and other insect life the
whole day long. The hen that scratches

The food left over on the ground after
feeding poultry ferments and decom-
poses in very short time on a warm

MOVING Pictures Of PouItry Farm

In connection with the New York
state department of agriculture the
United States department OF egricul-
ture is arranging to give a series of
moving picture exhibits of how to con-
duct a poultry farm.
Several thousand feet Of films have
been taken at the poultry farm in
New York state, and If the experiment
is a success more complete pictorial
accounts of the work that is being
done there will be secured.
Moving pictures were taken of the
poultry course students at work at the
various poultry houses, feeders, In
cubators and machines, and a pano-
rama of the entire college farm, with
it's thousands of fowls of all kinds
was made. 1t is believed that they
will be of special educational value at
county and state fairs.

sibly can.
Corn and wheat are standard foods
for poultry, and farmers have content
ed themselves that grain Is sufficient;
but 1t has been demonstrated that when
fresh milk has been given to chicks in
tended to be sold as fries the gain,
when milk is added to the grain ration,
is nearly twice as much as when grain
alone is used. If milk can be convent
emily given to laying hens larger profits
will be derived by thus utilizing the
waste products than by feeding to the
pigs, as skim milk and buttermilk con-
tain nearly all the elements of food.
The eggs are more easily produced by
hens fed upon such food than when
they are not otherwise provided, and
every farmer should allow the hens
share of the skim milk and buttermilk.
Give the boys and girls an interest in
the poultry yard. Let them have q
share Of the profits to clothe them
selves with. 1t will teach them self
reliance, business methods and prove
a powerful incentive in keeping them
at home.
Milk cannot take the place of meat,
as it is not sufficiently concentrated;
hence the hens could not drink enough
of it to supply their wants If gill of
linseed meal Is added to pint of milk
and the milk then used for mixing
ground grain it will largely assist in
providing complete food. Milk should
be given in vessels which will prevent
filth from getting into it, and vessels
cleaned daily.
Laying hens should not be too fat.
Think of this when making up your
rations.
Skip feeding at noon while the hens
are out on good range in summer.
Feed sparingly of buckwheat in
warm weather. 1t is hearty, fatten-
ing feed.
