meal or two was skipped, then at the
end OF the month the birds were killed,
$3.50 TO $l.75, the average weight being
packed, and sold for prices ranging from
six pounds the killing and packing
were done with great care, as abroad 50
many housewives go themselves to mar
ket and the attractive arrangement
and daintiness of the goods count for
much.
Cornmeal Used in America.
In America, of course, cornmeal should
be largely substituted for buckwheat, as
the market demands yellow skinned
bird; as to the amount to feed, the Cor
nell ration consists of 100 pounds corn
meal, 100 pounds bucSwheat middlings,
100 pounds oat -four, 80, pounds beef
scraps, and one pound charcoal These
should be thoroughly mixed and, IL
hours before using, mix the amount re-
quired with sour skim-mlk to the con-
sistency Of batter. The method of fat
tening described above would not be
suited to broilers; these should be fed
in their yards until within ten days of
the time to kill them, when they should
be confined in coops in a semidark place
and finished off on the batter. Should
the least sign of indigestion appear

FATTENING POULTRY.
A Science Worth Learning.
S. F. PIERCE.

The fattening of fowls is business in
itself, and many a family in Great
Britain, France and Belgium make a
very comfortable living by buying, fat
tening, and then selling fowls to select
trade. The fact that we in America
have adopted some of these European
methods is sure Indication of their
worth.
Some years ago the writer visited a
man near Brussels who made. with the
help of bis family, $4,000 year by fat
tening fowls. His farm consisting of 30
acres, where he kept 10 cows, several
pigs, three horses, and a capacity for fat
tening 10000 birds a year The chick.
ems were purchased from farmers just
as they came off the range for about 80
cents each; they were then put in coops
Cholding from six to eight with round
Stat bottoms which were set on horses
around the sides of the rooms. Cellars
and sheds were used for this purpose. as
semi darkness is considered a great ad-
vantage during fattening time, as il
makes them less restless. The fatteninp
period covered only one month. and the
food consisted of buckwheat meal mixed
with sour milk into the consistency of
batter, and fed in V-shaped troughs,
the buckwheat being ground right on
the place. Care in feeding Just the right
amount was a very important part of
the trade, the rule being TO begin with
one feed day and gradually to increase
the amount until after ten DAYS or two
weeks three full feeds were given. If
any OF the birds seemed to be overfed, a

THE BUSINESS
FARMERS CORNER
A FARM ENCAMPMENT-I

| What One Man Does for Boys in I'LL
nois.
| This idea originated with Mr.. Grout,
director Of the Illinois Farmers insti-
tute, and the new plan began with a
boys corn-judging contest. While the
county institute was in session, an ex-
pert corn Judge was secured to conduct a
corn Judging class each day, giving the
boys an examination at the close. The
one who did best was awarded, as a
premium, his railroad fare and expenses
to the two weeks corn Judging school
or corn growers and stockmen's con-
vention at the agricultural college the
next January. Nineteen boys attended
and became deeply interested. Pleased
with his success, Mr.. Grout then deter
mined to do something more, and farm
eneampment scheme developed into a
reality All boys in the corn Judging
classes in the ten counties of his district
were asked TO spend week on one of
his farms, their only expense being the
journey Five large tents were erected
tresses provided, while the boys brought
in woodland pasture, cots and mat.
blankets. Fifty.four boys came and
had awonderful week. there was pro-
gram of instruction, besides games each
day. Mr. Grout engaged three agricul.
tural professors from Illinois university
at his own expense, and machine shed
was turned into dining room, the cook
ing being done in a tenant house.
Plan of Work.
As some of the boys did not arrive I'M
til afternoon, the day was spent in get.
ting acquainted; in the evening, pro-
lessor showed ninety-fve stereopticon
pictures and got in touch with the boys.
morning at the instructors
and boys toured the farm, and valuable |
lessons were given and absorbed. First, |
a new alfalfa field tseeded the previous |
autumn was visited, the roots of many |
plants examined, and as no bacteria had |
been distributed on the land, some of |
the plants had nodules on the roots,
while Others didn't which was explained
to the boys. The seed courthouse was
also examined and explained; the wen
and water system, with gasoline en-
zines, came in for inspection, and it was
shown how to make concrete base for
IN engine, also how to cement the top
'ounds of brick Of well to keep out
nice and yermin Next they went to
he phosphate plots, where an acre had
'eceived ten loads of manure and
howed little improvement, while the
text acre had received in addition one
on of rock phosphate and the corn was
foot taller than on the other acre.
With a hoe in the cornfeld, the corn
cots were traced, showing how roots
pread out near the surface, and it was
oted how easily they were injured by
he cultivator running too deep. Mois-
ure conditions were noted and com
rented upon, and finally the corn breed
lg plot was visited with Professor
hopkins as instructor.
