MONEY IN FATTENING POULTRY
BY w. A. Lippincott, Poultry Depart.
ment, Iowa State College.

The poultry department of the
Iowa State College has undertaken to
investigate the farm fattening OF
chickens and for the past three years
has been carrying on experiments to
find out just what could be done with
profit on the farm While the expert.
ments will need to be repeated a
good many times to determine exact.
ly what is best to do, We can say with
reasonable assurance that fowls may
be farm fattened with good profit
The amount of profit varies with the
section of the country. If one is in
touch with the markets, the pro.
fits may be considerably more than
those secured in these experiments.
While a great many different ra-
tons were tried out, only those CIV
ing the best results will be mention
ed, The poultry department pur.
chased several dozen Barred Plym.
outh Rock cockerels from local pro.
duce man at 13 cents per pound
These ran in weight between 3 and
5 1-3 pounds They were placed in
Slated crates These crates were 20
inches deep and 16 inches high, di.
vided into three compartments Each
compartment held four birds. For
convenience we used portable houses
3 by II feet which held four crates
In practice on the farm, any shed
that affords shelter and fresh air
without draughts may be used. The
birds were fed in troughs just in
front of these crates. These troughs
were removable so that they might
be easily washed and cleansed
The ration which gave us the great
est as well as the most economical
gains was made up of equal parts by
weight Of corn meal. ground oats
(hulls removed), ground barley (hulls
remoyed), and beef scrap To this
was added twice its weight of butter
milk. No water was given. The same
amount of well soured milk in place
of buttermilk gave nearly equal re-
suits when mixed and allowed to
stand twelve hours before feeding.
The birds were fed twice daily as
much as they would clean up in TWEEN

FRosT-PRooFING
APPLE ORCHARDS
Fire Pots Effective in Heading or
Jack Frost.

One Iowa apple grower, c.. E. Min.
Ger, of Hamburg. succeeded in saving
about fifteen acres of his orchard from
the late freeze last spring by the use
of fire pots. When the cold wave
left Medicine Hat last spring the
weather man at Council Bluffs tele.
phoned to Mincer to look out for it.
Mincer Immediately got his fire pots
ready and wired to Kansas City for
a car of crude oil. He was ready for
the cold wave when it stuck. For
about two weeks he kept the oil pots
burning night and day for the greater
share of the time. By this means the
temperature in the orchard was kept
above the freezing point all through
the danger period. At times the tenn
perature inside the orchard was "a
degrees, while outside it was %. The
entire cost of keeping the temperature
above freezing for two weeks was
$500 for the Is acres, or about S34
per acre.

AN AMEs HEN MAKES GOOD.
Fresh Eggs Every Day" II the Other
Iowa Hens Will Follow
Fer Example.

A hen at the Iowa State College
poultry farm has laid 230 eggs during
the past year. She isn't so very much
of hen either-to look at. No feath-
cred legs nor ruffled topknot. Just a
plain ordinary Plymouth Rock hen.
But she was right there on the nest
$50 days out of the year. Two hun
dred and thirty fresh egg breakfasts
who wouldn't keep hen for that?
Those $50 eggs weigh Sc pounds, or
more than eleven times as much as
the hen herself At an average price
of 25 cents a dozen for the eggs, the
hens work for the year amounted to
S4.75 Her feed cost dollar and
a half. A net profit of 1926 year
isn't so bad for hen. Some men
don't do so very much more than
that Four hundred hens like this
one would give yearly profit Of
$1,000. There are great many men
in Iowa to whom salary of that
size would look pretty big 1t might
be hard to find four hundred hens
that would lay 23O eggs apiece our.
ing the year, but four hundred hens OF
any kind scratching around in the
back yard would add right com.
Portable chunk to anyone's salary
AS matter of fact, eggs from a
hen like this don't have to be sold
for rs cents dozen. They are worth
that much apiece for Matching pur.
poses. Cockerels out of her are worth
$40 each, and are cheap at that.
When Iowas 23,OOO,OOO hens get to
laying 200 eggs apiece every year.. in
stead of Ga as at present, the cold
storage trust will be put out of bust
ness. and we can have fresh egg
for breakfast every time We happen
TO feel like it. Such an increase in
the egg producing ability of the Iowa
hens would add between thirty and
forty million dollars year to the in
come of the state. 1t won't come all
at once, of course, but with few of
these Iowa State College hens to set
the pace. the rest of the Iowa biddies
will soon be hunting for record to
cackle about.

Ames Took Many Blue Ribbons al
International ShoW-Stuff Was
Used All Fall in Glass Work.

Used All FAN IN C'aSS WoTH'
Three grand championships, twen-
ty first premiums, nine second prem
iums and ten third prizes won with
fifteen steers; besides this, two sec
ond premiums on sheep; and ten
premiums on hogs. Such is the record
of the Iowa State College at the
Eleventh International Stock Show
During the past year, the college farm
has been stocked with some OF the
best steers, hogs and sheep that Ames
has ever seen. The winnings at the
Chicago show attest the merit of these
animals when compared with those
from other colleges and individual
herds No other college or exhibitor
ever made such record Fifteen
steers were shown and every one was
the winner of a ribbon.
The highest honors of the fat stock
show came to Ames on the famous
Angus calf, Shamrock I'd, thus giving
Ames the grand championship the
third time. Shamrock I'd was bred by
P. J. Donahue of Holbrook, Iowa, and
was sired by Black Woodlawn, who
has also sired many Of the prominent
winners in the Angus breeding classes.
Professor Kennedy thought Shamrock
4 likely calf and brought him to the
college last April On May he
weighed 345 pounds and on November
IS he tipr-d the scales to 1,140-an
average gain of four pounds per day
while in the possession of the college.

IMPROVEMENTS AT AMES.

The Iowa state College at Ames is
rapidly becoming one OF the best
equipped schools in the middle west.
The home economics building which
was started year ago is about ready
for use. 1t is three story building
of red brick large enough to provide
plenty of room for the home econo-
mics laboratories and class rooms
A new story has been added to the
west wing of the chemistry building,
which will provide additional labora-
tory room until such time as new
chemistry building can be built.

N. E. Townsend, one of the own
ers of the Penn-Oregon ranch, who
arrived from Pennsylvania a month
ago, came in Friday night from the
ranch where he has been helping to
hustle things along. He reports
everything on the move, for there
are II men and nine teams busy
plowing, seeding and spraying. They
expect to seed 100 acres to alfalfa,
200 to grain and nearly another
hundred to potatoes, cabbage,
squash, etc. this spring besides plant
ing several acres to pears. This is
conceded to be one of the best alfalfa
and fruit ranches IN the valley AL
though it has not heen announced it
is supposed that the intention of the
owners is to subdivide and sell in
small tracts. Mr. Townsend says he
likes Grants Pass, the people and the
climate, and also his new work, and
he is ready to help boost for a rail-
road down the Rogue river. He
thinks the prosperity of Grants Pass
is assured.
