more exercise, and it is doubtful
whether there is less work in pen
feeding than there is in crate feeding
Fowls that are to be fattened in
pens should be closely confined for
two or three weeks. For this purpose
small colony houses, house pens or box
stalls may be used. allowing one and
one-half square feet floor space for
each fowl. Not more than fifty fowls
should occupy one pen. The pens
should be cleaned regularly and thor
oughly and we'll ventilated, but not
necessarily we'll lighted; in fact only
sufficient light need be supplied to
enable the fowls to see to eat readily.
|. Except at feeding time it is an ad-
vantage to have the pen somewhat
darkened. as this tends to keep the
! fowls quieter and to restrict their eX-
| ercise.
The floor should be covered with
absorbent litter and enough troughs

the fowls to eat at the same time. II
! is good plan to have the troughs
elevated so the fowls will not scratch

1t full of litter. Three weeks is long
enough to keep fowls in a fattening
pen and care should be taken that
no feed gets in the litter. as the OBJ
Ject is to fatten the fowls with as lit
tie exercise as possible.
In crate feeding the fowls are con-
fined to small crates or cages with
wire or slat bottoms and open fronts.
Food is placed in troughs in front or
the coops. Under ordinary conditions
the largest gains will be secured by
this method. Because crate feeding
removes all opportunity for exercise,
1t produces flesh of the best quality.
1t is more sanitary than pen feeding,
and is most convenient, as each bird
is under perfect control of the owner
and others. Birds that are not doing
we'll or are annoying the others may
be removed, leaving the other fowls
contented.
Fowls may be fattened In less time
in crates than in pens. as the birds
have nothing to do but to eat and the
food consumed goes into flesh. not be-
ing wasted in exercise. A weekly gain
of one pound per bird is possible in
crate feeding. and 1t is easy to fatten
large numbers in small space.
The length of time for which the
fowl should be fattened depends upon
number of conditions. Some birds
will stand heavy feeding longer than
three weeks to fatten properly the
fowls that have been on range.
Food should be left before the fowls
fifteen or twenty minutes at each feed
ing, after which the surplus should
be removed and the trough either re-
moved or turned over. Little grit or
green foods are necessary while fat
tening. and the bulk of the liquid food
should be sweet skim milk or butter
milk.
Corn is the most popular fattening
food in America. 1t is cheaper than
any other grain; it is more easily Sc
cured; it is readily digestible; it is
very palatable, and it produces rapid
gains. When corn is fed alone it does
not produce as good quality of meat
as when fed with other grains. Ground
| corn or cornmeal mixed with oats OF
wheat middlings make an ideal fat
! tening food. Where yellow corn is
used to any great proportion of the
| diet the skin and fat are liable to be
yellow in color, and the fat globules
are not evenly distributed throughout
/ the tissues.
Where white flesh is not objection

globules of fat are evenly distributed

Bran is not a good fattening foo(
and is rarely used. Buckwheat o
sunflower seed may form part of tn
fattening ration. Buckwheat shoult
not be fed too freely, as the flesh pro

SPECIALLY FATTENED
POULTRY PROFITABLE
Easy to Increase the Weight
and Get a Better Price Per
Pound by Feeding in
Crates or Pens
BY DR.. 7. j.. Clemens
Practical Poultryman and Poultry
Editor, Phialdelphia Inquirer
COPYRIGHT. 1915

Many poultrymen are. content to
market their fowls either without
fattening them at all or merely CIV
ing them a little extra feed in their
yards. In this article DIR. Clemens
points out the financial loss occa-
stoned by such practice, and shows
how larger profits may be secured
by fattening the birds in pens or
crates.
Poultrymen will never be able to
realize the largest returns on their
product until they have made a care
full study of the market and have
learned how to sell to the best ad-
vantage. Skill in selling is Just as
necessary as the production of high
grade poultry and its production for
market in the best possible way.
The individual producer must care
fully study his own market and learn
its exact needs. His profits will de-
pend in large measure on the meth
DDS he will take to supply the pecu-
liar demands existing in his own mar
ket. 1t is essential that the poultry
man cultivate the acquaintance Of
many of the dealers and consumers
who handle his products, and win
their confidence. Not until he has
done this is he really in a position to
sell his product to the best advan-
tage.
EIObdbly the pulh pOul-
try is sold through commission
houses. and it often pays to sell even
high-grade poultry in this way, seek
ing a house which has the reputa-
ton for catering to an eXacting par
ticular trade. The tendency of pro-
ducers to sell to home buyers at any
price, instead of shipping direct to the
better markets, results in low prices
and small profits, and discourages the
production of high-grade poultry.
Local Trade Often Desirable
Many producers find customers
among high-class hotels, restaurants,
clubs, summer resorts, etc. Local
markets are often we'll worth culti-
waiting. There are many people in
the smaller towns and villages who
have had no opportunity to learr
what specially fattened poultry is like,
and who will be regular customers at
good prices when they learn the diff
ference between the tender, juicy
meat of the carefully prepared, espe-

mems with the longest and slimmest
necks short, hard, heart-shaped bod
les; short, narrow, closely-folded tails (;
extreme length of legs and thighs and
brilliantly-col plumage.
The Silver Duckwing variety is
strikingly colored. A silvery- white neck
hackle; back, saddle hackle, top of
wings and wing bow contrast sharply
with the rich greenish- black of the
breast, body and tail in the males
The female is gray. with a slight tinge
of salmon on the breast. The hackle

the market demands rich yellow skin
and fat is an advantage to use gluten
in large quantities.
Fowls. when ready for market,
should be wrapped in parchment pa
per, after careful washing.
Small pasteboard/ # boxes, large
enough to hold one fowl, may be used,

SILVER DUCKWING GAMES
COPYRIG HIT, 1915.

The pit games of England were the
ancestors of the Silver Duckwing
Game fowls. When cock fighting was
forbidden. fanciers began breeding pit
games for exhibition. striving for ex-
treme length of neck and legs and
uniformity of color. They developed
several varieties, all excellent for the
table, but none exceptional as egg pro-
ducers. Exhibition games, therefore,
have not been adopted by utility
breeders.
Fanciers strive to produce speci-

as they make neat packages and are
not expensive.
For the average poultryman 1t must
be remembered that a select trade is
trade cannot be held unless the prod
uct supplied is first class in every re-
spect and delivered in neat, attractive
packages.
