On most of the farms of this coun-
try the women are the poultry keep
ers. Maybe this shouldn't be so, but
it is, nevertheless. On the average
farm the chickens. ducks, geese and
turkeys would fare badly if their feed
and care were left wholly TO the
men members of the family. Then,
too, it is the women who hatch out
the young stock in the spring, and
with tact and patience nurse it to ma
turity On a very large per cent. OF
the farms where the oft-quoted as
sertion that there is money in chick
ems has been proved true it is gem
orally the case that a woman of in
telligence and determination is the
manager of the flock of fowls. 1t
would require many pages of this
paper to give even a partial list OF
the New Jersey farm women who
have made a success of the poultry
business in a limited way along with
their other work.
1t seems that women have the love
for this kind of work. which enables
them to make far more out OF 1t than
do the men. even when the men are
willing to take a proper interest IN
the fowls. But it must be admitted
any interest at all in the poultry de-
partment of their farm. The farm
work is heavy, especially during the
spring and summer when the hatch
inc and rearing of the young poultry
demands close attention daily from
someone. and consequently all TINS
work is left to the women folks. 10
n busy farmer it is generally dread
and a nuisance to have to give any
time to the poultry department.
Women. however, have great patience
with all the little detail work incl
dental to the proper management OF
poultry at all seasons of the year,
never neglecting any of the details
that most men are likely to leave I'M
attended. or else they slide over them
in the quickest way possible. IL Is
really not surprising, therefore that
as a. rule the women are the poultry
keepers on the farms
why Women Are Successful
Nor is it surprising, considering
their general qualifications for the
work that many women have entered
the field of poultry growing on a
large scale and that their success in
this line has been all that could be
desired. OF course, the majority OF
farm women do not have the time nor
the facilities to conduct the business
on a large scale even were they so
inclined. Elaborate and expensive
buildings and yards are not essential
for success. but if the poultry plant
is to return the maximum OF profit
it must be properly equipped for bust
ness. None of the plants managed by
women which the writer has visited

one constantly watches the heat it is
apt to 20 too low for the chicks. BY
all means. early in the season espe-
cially, place the breeders in a build
ing or shed where they will be pro-
tected from cold winds and rains.
Many people have told me that they
have raised d nice brood of chickens
in the kitchen in brooder Of
course. everything must be kept per-
feotly clean. but that is very easily
done if one is a good manager. A
strong. vigorous chick will live II one
will let ii. We must always consider
the weather conditions. Don't heat
the little chicks up to a point where
they want nothing but water, for
bowel trouble then results. The
manager should always use good
judgment and strike a reasonable
average that is compatible with con-
ditions.
Little chicks should not be fed too
soon. If the heat is kept just right
most any kind of sound food will do
to feed them on. Any of the chick
foods on the market are good If one
has not had any experience in feed
ing chicks. Give them occasionally a
feed of green food, also a little meat
scraps. And always it should be
borne in mind that exercise is the
only method TO develop muscle and
make strong. healthy chicks.
Methods Differ With Persons.
OF course. no two people ever en-
gage in any business in quite the
same pgay While many women prefer
TO develop table-egg features of poul-
try farming, others decide that the
production of broilers or roasters will
pay best Again. very large num-
Der of women who are favorably To-
Gated, have found that raising tur-
keys is a profitable branch of the
poultry industry. When turkey poults
can be successfully Matched and
reared to the age of one month, there
is no kind of market poultry that
pays so well for the time and money
invested as do turkeys They forage
for themseh es. therefore draw very
lightly on the feed bin. They require
very little care after the first four
weeks of their lives, and very mex
pensive housing. Turkeys need a good
range, however, as they will not
stand confinement Twenty breeders
and their offspring. well cared for
will in the fall yield their owner sew
eral hundred dollars, a large part OF
which sum is clear profit.
Then there is the raising and mar
keting of geese and ducks Both
classes of fowls are Comparatively
easy TO raise. and their housing is
also inexpensive. Ducks particularly
grow very fast, and are ready &c
market when about ten weeks old. A
number of New Jersey women who
have engaged in duck farming have
built up good businesses.

boasts of any more pretentious equip
ment than can be supplied on any
farm if due effort is made in that
direction, yet all of the plants are
up-to-date and furnished so that the
various operations can be carried on
in business-like manner. A NUM-
Der of the owners confessed, however,
that they started with nothing more
than a broody hen, a setting of eggs,
a small henhouse and a few boards
and boxes, and that they did all the
work themselves at first. Later as
profits warranted it outside help was
hired to do the heavy work. The
main point in making the ventures
success right from the start, as en-
phasized by a majority of the owners,
was close attention to all the de-
tails of the business, such as housing
the birds in proper numbers, cleann-
ness of quarters, good methods OF
feeding and close study of the market
problem.
The poultry business seems to suit
the tastes of very many women for
he reason that it furnishes 2 con-
tinuous income throughout the an
tire year. A large number of poltry-
women have found that the produce
ton of eggs for table use is one of
the most profitable branches of the
poultrv business. One woman said:
IF one can produce fancy eggs Tor
a retail market and get top prices
for them, the net profit at the end OF
the year will be as great as, If not
greater than, can be obtained from
any other branch of the business. II
is not necessary, however, to limit
ones self to this branch. In the
spring and early summer, when there
is a surplus of eggs, the selling or
eggs for Matching and day-old chicks
can be made very renumeratiVe SIDE

Locality Determines Methods.
"The locality largely determines the
method which should be adopted in
marketing table eggs. The woman
who would cater to particular trade
should first look well to the demands
of the available market and adjust
her products to meet those demands.
To build up a wholesale or retail
trade for select table eggs one must,
of course. produce eggs of superior
quality. for not all eggs are alike.
For instance. mongrel hens will not
Law eggs of uniform size, shape, color
or quality. Another point in favor
of thoroughbreds for the egg farmer
is that during the Matching season
fancy prices can be secured for
norton of the eggs for setting, where
as mongrel eggs never bring any more
than the market price of eggs. This
is a point that is always well to con-
slider. The marketing of large num-
Der of eggs is a rather large item of
labor, but when the necessary help
can be obtained it will pay to do a

That in summer time calves do as
well on sour skim milk as they do
on sweet will be interesting news to
many farmers who have hitherto
been kept from raising calves by the
expense Of keeping the milk sweet
in hot weather This expense expert
ments carried out by the department
of agriculture indicate to be quite un-
necessary The calves will make as
rapid gains on sour skim milk. In
winter it is true this is not quite so
satisfactory. It chills the calves and
some of them drink it with great re-
luctance. Very young calves have
even been known to refuse il alto
gether. On the other hand, of course,
it is much easier to keep the milk
sweet in winter
In calling the attention of farmers
to these facts, however, the depart
ment at the same time emphasizes an
important precaution. Unless the milk
is produced and kept under clearly

A dark. damp stall is apt to bring
on rheumatism, especially among the
colts.
Too long periods between the times
the horses drink is apt to upset their
digestive organs.
One pound of good hay for every
100 pounds of horse is a good rule to
follow in feeding-frst-class hay, not
reeking with must or mold.
Some people think that the dry COW
needs no care, but those that make

The temperament of the solt when
he reaches maturity will depend much

simply training him to saddle and

While corn is a nourishing feed for
horses. one-half corn and one-half
oats form a more balanced ration
one that will insure health, strength

In making a long drive, just let
the horses take their time for the

their speed, and they will feel fresh

The orchard should be cultivated
only late in July and then crimson
clover or vetch should be sown as
ground cover. This also tends to help
the trees ripen their wood.
