|MARKETING ,.I CHICKEN FEATHERs
Dry pick and Save the Feathers Until
You Have Enough to Sell.

Dry Pick and Save the Feathers Until.
You Have Enough to Sell.
Tons of feathers are probably lost
each year In small amounts because
farmers and rpoultrymen do not think
f worth while to save the few ounces
plucked from birds used at home and
for local market. Another reason
probably is that the prices are
thought to be too small to make saw
Ing these few feathers seem worth
while.
If few minutes be taken when
plucking Is done to separate the vari-
GUS grades and to practice the best
methods of curing them. there Is no
reason why nice little sum could
not be saved in each case, and the as-
gregate make considerable advance
in the annual returns from poultry.
81 Chicken and duck, as well. as goose
feathers, are always In demand, and
should be saved, but ought to be kept
separate, and the larger feathers
placed by themselves. In no case
should chicken and turkey feathers
be scalded, because the hot water re-
moves the animal oil and reduces the
grade very greatly. Such feathers
scalded command only fraction OF
the price paid for dry picked ones.
Another good point is to keep the
white separate from the colored feath-
ers, because white stock brings a
higher price than dark. After, pluck
ing, the feathers should be spread out
until the moisture is thoroughly dried
out. During this time they should
be turned daily If they are spread at
all ,thickly. Turkey body feathers,
while too large as they come from the
bird, are often chopped and used in
cheap pillows.
A leading dealer writes that he1
and turkey body feathers have only
saving value when dry picked. says
the Orange Judd Farmer. They
should be laid out on the floor and
forked over daily. and should be in q
marketable condition in three days,
when they can be shipped in burlap
bags. These grades are worth in
mid-autumn between four and five
cents pound. Chicken quills should
be thrown away, never mixed with
softer, body feathers, because they
spoil the grade. Turkey quills should
be graded; the long tails placed in
one box, those from the first two
joints of the wings in another, those
from the last joint in third. The
shorter quills and those from the
rump, ranging from five to eight
inches, placed in burlap bag. After
thorough airing theymay be packed
for shipment. Moisture allowed to
remain in them rots the quills quick,
ly and thus reduces the grade.

had to live almost entirely on mag

tressed me so that water would run
out of my mouth in little streams.
"I had terrible night sweats and
my doctor finally said had consump-.
tion and must die. Ny good wife
gave up all hope. We were at Old
Orchard, Me-. at that time. and my.
wife saw Grape-Nuts IN grocery
there. She bought some; and per-
suaded me to try it.
II had no faith in It., but took 1t to
please her. To my surprise It did not
distress me, as all other food had
done, and before l had taken the fifth
package was well on the mend. The
pains left my head, my mind became
clearer and gained weight rapidly.
II went back to my work again
and now after six weeks use Of the
food am better and stronger than
ever before in my life. Grape-Nuts
surely saved my life and made me a

NUMBER oF HENS IN A FLOCK.
The Subject Discussed From the Sin.
gle Point of Utility.
BY Nj. Ray Dawley.

T Z = i : : 49, r. - d
There is considerable controversy
over the subject Of the size Of the
flock I; In the Australian laying; con-
test six hens arc kept together Some
breeders even keep hens in individual
pens. Laying aside the matter OF
breeding and siderine; only the
utility points. we want to know what
size flock should be to make the
most profit. Sometimes thirty hens
will lay as many eggs as fifty hens In
the same pen. The reason for this Is
that, with fifty in the flock they were
too crowded. By reducing the num-
Der we better the conditions. Sup
posing a house eight by ten feet to
be large enough for twenty hens, we
give each hen the privilege Of eighty
square feet of floor space. while II
the house were built sixteen By twen-
ty feet, each hen would have 500
square feet to roam over, or four
times the room. The latter house
should be large enough for eighty
hens. The former house would cost
about se5 and the latter one some
$50. That is to say, it costs S1.25 to
house a hen in the small flocks, while
in the large focks 81 pays for the
house.
So we have double advantage for
the hen by building the house large.
Moreover. the sunlight and ventila-
tion in the large house are. better;
hence, it is easier to keep dry and
healthy.
A factor of as much Importance as
the above is the amount OF labor re-
qxired. IN having only one water
pan to fill, one place to feed, one
place to gather eggs and one roost to
clean, instead of four roosts, the
work can be done in much less time,
and therefore the profits are more
and the cost of equipment less.
On the other hand, large house
cannot be drawn about like colony
house. It has to stay in one place.
The hens have to come out on the
same ground, and so find less green
food and forage than the hens scat
tered about in small locks. Diseases
are very contagious, and so the risk
is greater in the large house.
I have had splendid results keep
ing two hundred hens in one flock in
a house sixteen by fifty feet with a
yard 100 by 500 feet. Part of the
yard is ID sod and part is plcwed and
sowed to oats or wheat twice each
season.

New Linen shantung.

The linen wea@es IN pongee and
shantung SO closely resemble the
genuine silks Of these names that at
a short distance itis difficult to dis
ting>ish the difference It. is claim
ed, too, that they are actually cooler
than the silks. "a linen shantung
specially recommended for tailor or
outgin suits, or, IN fact, any hard
wear, is 80 cents yard, twenty-seven
inck.es wide.
A linen pongee is the same price,
but is finer in weave than the shan
tung. This comes in stripes as well
as in plain colors. a linen and cot
ton mixed pongee at .35 cents is very
soft and pretty for shildren's frocks
or small boys' suits
