Of Such Is the Kingdom of
 Heaven. "Of such is the kingdom of heaven" No glory that ever was shed From the crowning star of the seven That crown the north worlds head, No word that ever was spoken Of human or god-lille tongue, Gave ever such god-like token Since human harps were strung. No sign that ever was given To faithful or faithless eyes, . Showed ever beyond clouds riven So clear a Paradise. Earth's creeds may be seventy times seven,
 And blood have defiled each creed; If of such be the kingdom of heaven, It must be heaven, indeed.

OLDEST POULTRY ASSOCIATION

The Poulterer's Company Of London
was founded in 1345, being one of
numbers of trade associations, guilds
or unions organized at that period.
1t is an organization of dealers in
poultry. 1t was originally empowered
by it's charter to inspect the poultry
brought to the London markets, but
that power was subsequently taken
from 1t. The company gives medals
on dressed poultry at all poultry shows
in the United Kingdom where there
are fifty or more entries in these
classes, provided notice of these shows
is given to the clerk of the company.

The fattening pen should be dry and.
If possible, we'll ventilated and free
from drafts. The birds that are cooped
must not be placed in direct drafts
or many will take cold. An open
shed, with three sides tight, makes
good place for early fall or sum-
mer fattening, but for late fall more
protection is required to secure the
best gains.
Crate VS.. Loose-Pen Feeding.
For "a number of years the writer
has conducted experiments with chick
ems in crates and in loose pens. He
has tried six different feeders, with
varying results. With some feeders,
equally good results were secured
with birds in crates as in loose pens
In the case of two feeders in partic-
ular, the birds could not be fed to adj
vantage in loose pens as compared
with crates. With one feeder, on the
other hand, slightly better returns
were secured in some cases with birds
in pens. The majority of buyers of
chickens seem to think that the crate
fed birds are much superior to those
fed in loose pens. The writer prefers
to feed birds in crates, for the reason
that it takes less room. They are fed
with less expenditure of labor, and
more even profit is returned. How
ever, there are many persons who
can get good results from feeding
birds in box-stalls and like apartments
Construction of Fattening Crates.
A fattening crate is usually made
six feet six inches long, eighteen to
twenty inches high, and sixteen inches
wide. 1t is divided into three COM
partments, each holding four or five
birds, according to the size of the
chickens 1t is made of Stats, except
the ends and partitions between the
compartments, which are of solid
wood. The Stats on the top, bottom
and back run lengthwise of the coop,
while those on the front run up and
down. They are usually one and one
half inches wide and five-eighths inch
thick. Those in front are placed two
inches apart to allow the chickens to
put their heads through for feeding.
The Stats on the bottom are placed
about three-fourths of an inch apart,
SO as to permit the droppings to pass
through to the ground. Care should
be taken not to have the first bottom
slat at the back fit closely against the
back. An opening at this point pre-
vents the droppings collecting and de-

MALES AND CULLS

The following method of handling
and disposing of males and culls. is in
practice on successful poultry farm
in Western Washington:
About the time the chicks are re-
moved from the brooders, or as soon
thereafter as practicable, all the young
males not wanted as breeders and fe-
males that are in any way defective
are removed to the fattening pens.
About one-tenth of the females are
thus discarded. 1t does not pay to
make a speciality of broilers, as there
is no good local market for them at
this place; but large quantities of
eggs are sold to those near the large
cities who make a speciality of raising
brOilers.
The surplus birds are given quar-
tiers to themselves, consisting of pens
with runways attached. Young chick
ems do not thrive when confined too
closely. The more range they have
the better They are fed on crumbly
mash made of four parts corn meal,
two parts of middlings, and one part
of beef scraps, and wet with warm
skim milk fresh from the separator
If the milk is lacking, water may be
used. AS much of this feed is given
twice a day as will be eaten up clean
and quickly. Any refuse feed remain
ing an hour after feeding time is re-
moved from the troughs.
Selling begins about week after
the culls are put in the pens, and the
lot is disposed of as rapidly as the
market will take them. They usually
weigh from one to two pounds by the
time they are sold, and bring from 25
to SO cents each.
The quarters in which these culls
and surplus males are fattened are
kept scrupulously clean as any others.
Free use is made of whitewash and
air slaked lime, while disinfectants
are used on the perches to kill all
mites that may chance to be present.
A large dust bath is provided, and
plenty of grit and. fresh water are
supplied.
Before the young birds have learned
to roost on perches, clean straw is
kept on the floor of the roosting room.
The chicks sit on this straw at nights
To prevent crowding in the corners
of the rooms, which is sure to occur
unless provided against, the straw is
piled high in the corners, so that it
slopes downward toward the center
of the room. When closing up the
house at night to keep out enemies,
a few chicks may be placed on the
perches, which should be low enough
to be reached without difficulty. A
cleated board slanting from the perch
should be put up. In short while
the whole flock will take to the
perches.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1909-09-01

composing. The Stats on the top and
back are usually two inches apart
There is a small V-shaped trough ar
ranged in front of the coop for feeding
and watering the chickens. The
trough is two to three inches deep
and is generally made of three-fourth-
inch lumber.
Very fair coops may be made from
old packing-boxes, by taking off the
front and bottom, and substituting
Stats in their places. When fattening
chickens inside of a building, it is
we'll to darken the building and keep
the birds as quite as possible.
