FATTENING POULTRY.

The method used by most of the
large establishments engaged in fat
tening poultry in this country is to
feed the chickens in crates from
troughs, according to information
collected by the United States De.
partment of Agriculture. From six
to ten birds are placed in each divi-
sion of the battery or feeding coop,
depending on the size of the birds and
the ideas Of the feeder. Two to three
chickens do better in a division to-
gether than when only one bird is
placed in each compartment, and the
cost of equipment and labor per bird
varies inversely with the number of
birds in each division. Another
method which is used to a consider
able extent on a small scale in this
country is pen fattening. This
method is adapted for use on the
farm where the farmer does not care
to go to the trouble of crate fattening
or where the price received for we'll
fed birds does not warrant the extra

Most "mllk-fed chickens are fed
for fourteen days but results indicate
that more profitable gain can be
secured in shorter feeding period,
provided the same price per pound
can be obtained for the finished pro-
duct. Practically all of the special
feeding in this country involves the
use of milk thus producing ''milk-
fed' chickens. Milk, while the least
expensive, seems to be the most es-
sential constituent of the ration and
when a feeder can not get milk in
some form he generally does not at
tempt to fatten poultry commercially.
Fresh buttermilk, condensed butter
milk and skimmilk are preferred in
this relative order. The feed is mix
ed to the consistency of thick cream
or so that it will drip from the tip
Of wooden spoon. Rations of so per
cent corn meal, 40 per cent low grade
wheat -four and 10 per cent fine shorts;
or OF So per cent corn meal, SO per
cent oat -four and six per cent tallow
by weight give very good results pro-
ducing gains which cost from 6.45
cents to ia cents per pound. Low
grade wheat flour is more econOmi-
cal feed than oat flour at the present
prices Of grain.
The results of extensive fattening
tests conducted in the Middle West
showing the methods of feeding and
the costs of gains are given in Bulletin

the Cheops pyramid could not be dup
Heated today for less than one hun
dred million dollars. With modern
machinery and the employment of 40
900 stone cutters, haulers, quarrymen,
masons and laborers a duplicate of
the pyramid could be erected in two
years.
1t has been calculated that the
work really required the services of
100000 men for thirty years. The
Cheops pyramid occupies a space of
12& acres and is TAG feet high and
contains 142.315,000 cubic yards of
stone and granite. The material alone
represents an item of $4,000, 900.
while the labor would increase this
amount by $72,00O,OOO. To this must
be added 100000 for tools, transpor.
.tation and similar items. The pyra-
mid Is built on solid rock $50 feet
deep, and to build a foundation of this
character would add to the cost to
the extent Of making the total of

times in the Bible, while Ovid speaks
Of 1t in his famous tale OF "Pyramua

The mulberry was brought from

came apparent that the undertaking
would be accomplished. It is esti-
mated that 5000 persons visited the

prove economical, too. They have fig.
ured 1t out that 1865 toothbrushes a
year at ten cents a brush represents
an outlay Of $3.50. Many persons
spend much more than that every
year for dental work, and 1t is now
argued that a new toothbrush every
day will prevent damage being done
to the teeth, gums and mouth BY
germs which, once lodged in the bris.
ties Of well-used toothbrush, are diff.

OF powerful solutions.

ing OF the British Medical association
held at Birmingham. DR.. d. w. Car.
malt and Prof. Herbert Small devoted
their addresses chiefly to the advan.
tages to be derived from an increas-
ed allowance Of tooth brushes and a
corresponding reduction in dental
bills.
With the aid of diagrams, enlarge
ments OF photographs taken under the
microscope and specimens Of disease
germs taken from tooth brushes, it
was shown that the precautions Of
the average man to clean his tooth
brush, after using, are not sufficient.
instead OF paying 75 cents or one dol
