PREPARE ANIMALS

Most Common Mistake Among

Only Half Finished.

IL is astonishing to observe during

most common mistake Is made In
selling animals that are half finished.
Fully as per cent of all the animals
sold reach the markets in an unfin-
ished condition. This, more than any
thing else. is probably accountable
for the common belief that there is
no money in feeding livestock. Some
times stock Is sold because grain is
high. At other times the available
supply OF feed has been consumed be-
fore the stock is conditioned, but
more frequently perhaps. many feed

The proof of the pudding is In the
eating" and the proof of success In
the poultry business is in the profit
made at selling time.
You must begin to plan as to when
and how you are going to market
your fowls about as soon as the eggs
are set-or even before, so as to know
what your aim is to be-whether ma
ing, or frying chickens. OF course it
all depends upon what the demand in
your vicinity is for. II you live where
there will be sale for good birds for
breeding. 1t may not pay you to sell
many fowls to the market. If you find
a good call for broilers or small chicks
for frying-and these usually bring
good prices-you might do your best
work in raising some kind Of early
maturing fowls that will make a
pound and half at six weeks or two
months old.
II you intend to sell dressed poultry,
II is usually best to choose breed
having yellow legs and light-colored
feathers. as they look nicer than the
black-legged. black-colored varieties.
The meat is not a bit better, but you
know IL is looks that count when a
buyer comes into a market.
AS soon as the pullets can be told
from the roosters, they should be sep
arated. and unless you expect to sell
FOR he Inc LOG
should be fattened and disposed of as
early as possible.
If you want to hurry them onto the
market. one OF the very best plans Is
that known as the crate-feeding meth
cd. Take some Stats about an inch
and a half wide-lath will do very
nicely-and make coop with fiat
top and a slat bottom, about Is
inches wide. the same in height. and
long enough to accommodate the num-
Der of fowls you have to fatten. AL
low about six inches in length to each
bird Divide your crate into sections
that will hold four or five fowls each.
Set it up on a trestle--a couple Of saw
horses make good supports-so the
droppings will fall through the Stat
bottom and not soil the coop.
Now make V-shaped trough the
same length as your coop. This is
used for both feed and water. The
feed should consist of Underground
oats mixed to stiff batter with skim
milk or buttermilk, preferably the lat
ter. Feed this mixture three times a
day, but do not let 1t stand in the
troughs. Give them ample time. say
half an hour, to eat all they want. and
