ASSAILANT OF DIAZ

the place. and still another setting as
about ready to "come off,"
The other incubator is peculiar to the
establishment. When reporter went
through the yard there were just Y
White Leghorns and Black Minorca eggs
in this unique incubator, and as a hatch
has never been made the success or fail
ure of the incubator cannot be foretold.
However. Mr. Mitchell is banking on its
success. This unusual incubator is easy
to describe. It consists simply of three
huge turkey hens, all in a row, covering
"A hen eggs apiece.
Mr.. Mitchell doesn't follow the rule Of
the professional poultry breeder, when 1t
comes to setting hens. Ordinarily the
breeder uses every possible method OF
prevention, when fine hen gets broody
and wants to set, the only hens allowed
to set being those of the common or barn
yard variety, whose eggs are worth no
more than the ordinary market egg.
Mr.. Mitchell, however, believes that If
a hen decides to set, just let her have her
own way about it, as he is not trying to
sell her eggs to sother breeders, nor is
he trying to raise large number or
chicks in short time.
Consequently scattered through the diff
ferent pens setting hens are to be found
In a number of instances the fowls have
been left completely to themselves, MAX
ing their own nest and setting upon their
own eggs.
At the present time there are only
about $50 old birds and about 100 young
ones on the place. When the hatch
comes from the two incupators at present
running and from the dozen setting hens,
the total number will be more than
doubled and Mr.. Mitchell intends to Keep
his farm about that size, gradually Gull
ing down the stock until only 300 or 400
prize fowls remain.
From a pair of bantam games, the pets
of Mr.. MitchelFs little granddaughter, he
expects to raise quite a number of chicks
of this variety. The tiny hen was recent
ly set upon seven eggs and now she has
seven healthy chicks, so without buying
any more games he expects to have quite
stock in a short time.
With his single pen of six Indian Run
ner Ducks Mr.. Mitchell is delighted.
when it comes to laying" he says,
these ducks equal Black Minorca hens.
i have only five hens and seldom does
day pass, when do not get five duck
eggs. OF ducks one is now setting, and
from her hatch we expect to increase the

at any time throw a bright light over

l. S. Mitchell. having been council
man and alderman from his ward, re-
tired from politics about ten years ago.
Three years ago. having amassed suffi'
GENTLY worldly goods to satisfy his wants
for many years. he retired from bust
ness
Now he's a poultryman-
Mr.. Mitchell didn't retire from his
mercantile business and start a poultry
farm because he thought there was more
or easier money in the latter business,
but he's a poultryman just because
likes fine chickens, likes to have them
running around his place, and because
he likes them fried for breakfast and
in chicken pie at dinner time.
Less than three months ago. having
spent a good many years of his life on
a street where trolleys passed the door
continually, and where Atlanta's ever
increasing traffic was always to ne
heard If not seen. Mr.. Mitchell decided
not to lose himself in a witness, for he
is nothing if not convivial, but to go to
distant suburb, where he would have
plenty Of room for chickens, dogs, etc,
and where fresh air was not at a pre-
MUM.
He decided upon CravenwooJ station
on the Marietta car llnes purchased IlVe
acres OF land facing the car line, and
upon little hill erected a beautiful lit
tie home.
Two months after moving into the
new home Mr.. Mitchell had surrounded
himself with a creditable truck garden
and a chicken ranch which would do
credit to a more experienced poultry
man.
OF course the chicken farm is not go
ing full blast just yet, but Mr.. Mitchell
has ideas all his own on the chicken
subject and before many months have
passed his birds stand a good chance Of
competing IN big chicken shows and TAX
ing away first honors.
One OF the important points about Mr..
Mitchelrs birds is that they are all go
ing to stay on the place until he is
ready for them to leave. No chicken
thieves need hang around the beauties
on the little farm at Cravenwood sta
ton.
Here's the way he guards against the
fowl pilferer. The chicken ranch is
situated directly back Of the residence.

branch. Naturally the rear upstairs

stock very materially"
Up to the present Mr.. Mitchell de-
clares that his chickens have not been
troubled with either rats or lice although
to guard against the latter pest he has
had a liberal coat of whitewash spread
upon his several chicken houses.
''Our only trouble out here" he says,
comes from wood mice. These little an
imals are death on grain, but they do
not worry the chickens. Wood mice are
of a very distinctive build, having tails
as long or longer than their bodies, and
they will leave us when the section be-
comes more thickly populated"
While not exactly to be classed as
poultry, Shag, Lady Lou and Alice Roose-
welt are three very important factors on
Mr.. Mitchell's country place. They are
three of the owners partners on the
annual Florida excursion, and as bird
dogs, he claims, they are unequaled. The
last named has quite a history.
"Alice is the daughter Of the best set
ter have ever known" says Mr.. Mitch
ell. "and on hunt in Florida she proved
her worth.
I'VE were returning to camp one day
at about o'clock in the afternoon-I say
because have witnesses-and on arriving
missed the setter.
ST was rather tired, so waited until af-

Several miles away from camp, and
after dark, found the setter still point
ing to a covey of quail That the birds
had attempted to edge away from her.
we could note by the fact that the grass
was beaten down where she had gently
crawled after them. The quail we're still
there, despite the fact 1t was after dark.
and the dog was standing like a statue,
when we came up.
"A friend of mine told this one about
his dog, but 1 can prove my story. I
won't give his name away, but he was
once asked by a novice how long a good
bird dog would hold a covey, and as an
answer he said, Why, once I was hunt
ing in Florida, when on the last day 1
lost fine setter. I had the keeper at
the club house make every effort to find
her, but he failed.
The next year returned to the same
place, and one day I came upon the
bones of a dog, and within about 20 PAGES
found the bones of a covey of quail.
Then by the collar I knew had found
my dog. She simply held the quail until
they had all starved to death
