VALUE OF POULTRY PRODUCTS
Poor Methods of Preparing and Mar
ketine Deprive PouItryman OF
Much of His Profits.
(By T. II. STCNEBURN.)

Poultry products CT various kinds
form one Of the greatest crops pro-
duced upon American farms. The
ever increasing number of farms and
plants devoted exclusively to poultry
keeping produce large amounts OF
high grade goods, although these are
inconsiderable when compared with
the vast supply coming from the small
focks scattered upon the farms and
in the villages throughout the coun-
try. Unquestionably the great bulk
of poultry products has come In the
past from the latter sources, and this.
condition is likely to continue.
Many farmers concede that their
fiocks of poultry yield them a fair
profit, although any intelligent OBJ
server has but to spend a short time
in Investigating the great markets to-
learn that poor methods Of preparing
and marketing alone prevent the pro-
ducer from receiving much greater re-
turns. The majority of poultry raisersI
fail to realize that their profits could
be largely increased, first, by the
production of better and more uniform!
goods; and second, by improved meth4
ods of disposing of them.
Not iDfrequently it is stated that
high-grade goods sell themselves,
and in a sense this is true, but it isI
not enough to turn out SUPERIOR
goods; much is lost if they are not
marketed in the most careful manner,

through the ceiling board between the
studding and take out the board. Put
two small hinges on it, replace, and
fix button to hold 1t in place. Next
cut a slit about two inches wide and
nearly to the studding on both sides,
about a foot above the floor. Insert a
trough running back, and slanting to
the outside clapboards. Allow the
front edge Of the trough to come lit
tie above the opening In the wall so
the feed will not overrun. With a coal
scuttle the trough may be easily
filed, and the hens cannot waste. or
get on top Of the trough and foul 1t.
1 have three in my house for grit,
shell and bran, during the winter.
Where one feeds grains and thinks
it best to keep q hopper before the
fowls all the time, this plan will be
liked, as it takes up no room what
ever. If ones house Is not ceiled the
boxes may be put on the outside OF
the troughs running through. The tops
of the boxes should slant so the rain
will run off. These, of course, will
have to be filled from the outside.
With this plant the feed drops down
as fast as the hens remove 1t from
the troughs.

CURE FOR GAPEs
Disease Most Prevalent in Damp
Weather, Caused by Worm in
Chicks Windpipe.

(By MRS. JOHN ]. MOORE, MIssourD
A most common disease arcng
chickens and one which causes great
loss in the summer is gapes. This
disease, which Is most prevalent in
cool, damp weather, is caused By
worms, which get in the young chicks
windpipe, causing it to gasp for breath
and if not dislodged, shutting OF its
supply OF air.
Sometimes the worm can be twisted
out with horsehair, but this is a
severe remedy and other worms may
take its place.
The following Is preventative and
will check the trouble at once:
Obtain the leaves Of the common
WOODWORK, sometimes called Jerusa-
lem oak, a plant which grows wild in
most places, having an erect shrub
berry stem and small, yellowish flow
ers. Its leaves when crushed have
an unpleasant odor and are used in
the manufacture Of yermifuge and to
protect clothing and furniture from
moths and other insects.
Mash the leaves and mix In a small
quantity with the chickens feed or
put in the drinking FOUNTAINS.
Or, after the seeds have ripened,
they may be used instead Of the
leaves and a quantity gathered for
future use.

Feed During Noting.

The molting of fowls Is a natural
process and not q disease and no.
medical treatment is necessary or de-
sirable. Feed molting fowls just as
you would feed them at any other
time, only remember that nolting is
done during hot weather, and less car
bonaceous food should be given than
when the weather is cool. Oats, wheat,
cut clover or alfalfa or any leguminous
seeds may be used more because the
weather is warm than that fowls are
molting. Any sort Of green food is
good; so are beets. turnips, bulbs or
tubers of any sort that they will eat.
They should have little corn or other
heat-producing food.

who studies how, when and where"
to market. He learns that during GER
tain months in each year there is a
shortage in different kinds of poul-
try products, and he plans to produce
as large q quantity as possible OF
these products during the season of
scant supply. He then ascertains N
which markets he can dispose Of
these goods to best advantage, and
prepares and packs them according to-
the requirements of those markets.
Poultry products are concentrated
and valuable, although not extremely
perishable. Therefore, improved means
Of transportation make it possible for
the poultryman to place his goods in

SOME SYSTEM IS NECESSARY
Poultrymcn Should Keep Books, Same

1t Stops Leaks.

Poultry keeping is business
and should be conducted along
BUSINESS lines. Some system CT
accounting is necessary. The pou!-
tryman should keep records Of all
the income and expenses Of his bust
ness in order to know whether it is i
paying proposition or not. If it does
not pay he should know it and either
stop the leak or so out of business.
An elaborate system of bookkeeping
is not necessary. If the poultryman
wishes to avoid keeping full accounts
he can at least keep a cash account.
This does not express the exact fnan-
cial condition Of the business. but is
an excellent help SO far as it goes.
