No New Peace Talk.

London, Aug. 31.-Despite the latest
alleged German "peace feelers," the
United Press is able to state on the
highest authority that the peace situa.
ton so far as England is concerned
has undergone NO recent change.
A few socialist leaders are in favor
of ending the war. But neither in of
ficial circles nor in tne mass of the pub
lie is there any inclination to accept
peace now, honorable or otherwise.
England is determined that the
strength of the new British army shall
be felt and that the Germans must be
driven from France and Belgium.
The above was received from the
London bureau of the United Press in
reply to query as to the attitude in
England in view of the revival of peace
talk in Washington, based upon hints
in official statements from European
capitals

Corn Produces Rapid Gains.

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: ii is very
palatable, and it produces rapid gains.
When corn is fed alone it does not pro-
duce as good quality of meat as when
fed with ether grains. Ground corn or
cornmeal mixed with oats or wheat mid
dlings make an ideal fattening food.
Where yellow corn is used to any great
proportion of the diet the skin and fat
are liable 10 he yellow in color, and the
fat globules are not evenly distributed

SPECIALLY FAHENED
POULTRY IS PROFITABLE
Easy to Increase Weight and Get
Better Price by Feeding in
Crates or Pens.
BY DR.. T. J. CLEMENS.
Copyright. 19l5.l

Poultrymen will never be able to
realize the largest returns on. their
product until they have made a careful
study of the market and have learned
how to sell to the best advantage. Skill
in selling is just as necessary as the
production of high-grade poultry and
its preparation for market in the hest
possible way.
The individual producer must careful
ly study his own market and learn its
exact needs. His profits will depend in
a large measure on the methods he will
| take to supply the peculiar demands
existing in his own market. 1t is es-
sential that the poultryman cultivate
the acquaintance of many of the deal
ers 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
advantage.
Probably the bulk of market poultry
is sold through commission houses, and
| it often pays to sell even high-grade
poultry in this way. seeking a house
which has the reputation for catering
to an eXacting particular trade. The
| tendency of producers to sell to home
| buyers at any price. instead of ship
ping direct to the better markets, re-
suits in low prices and small profits
| and dscourages the production Of
hjRh-grade poultry

Special Fattening Most Profitable.

| The advantages gained by special fat
tening are so great, and the methods
SO easily practiced. that there is no ex-
cuse for producers to market any but
these specially fattened fowls. Fowls
fed high in close confinement with spe-
| cially selected foods will have soft
muscles and the fat will be deposited
| in the muscular tissues rather than in
flakes and chunks of solid fat in the
abdomen. In special fattening. the
| water in the flesh of the fowl is re-
placed by fat and In cooking this is
blended with the flesh, further soften
ling the tissues and improving the
| flavor.
| Not only is the quality of the flesh
| improved. but the total weight is in
creased at a low cost. Under ordinary
conditions the gain secured in special
fattening will cost less than that Sc
cured in any other period of the fowls
growth. There is. therefore. a larger
profit on the gain secured, while the
process increases the market value of
the entire fowl by several cents on the
pound.
The common methods of fattening
fowls are: Feeding the range or in
the general flock, pen feeding and crate
feeding.
Evening star., 1915-08-29
Range Fattening Wasteful.

Any method of fattening is better
than none. but the gains secured in
feeding fowls on range are much small
er and more expensive than those Sc
cured by other methods, and the quail
ity is distinctly inferior. Fowls that
are at liberty will waste a large
amount Of food given them in unneces-
sary exercise; they are not likely to
eat as well. and it is impossible to fat
ten them or soften the muscular it's
sues, as is done when the fowls are
fed in confinement. Fattening in open
range is expensive and unsatisfactory.
Pen feeding is the most popular meth

ART SELLS AT HIGH PRICES


Correspondence of the Associated Press.
BERN, Switzerland. August 10
The director of a Swiss museum writes
to a local newspaper regarding the
state of the art market in Germany. He
had hoped. he says. to be able to BUY
some choice works OF art very cheap
ly in Germany, and his hopes had been
raised by a study of various catalogues
that had been sent him. He particular,
French painters. but he described his
experience at the auctions as follows:
had scarcely been reached when. the
bidding developed bewildering lveli- ELL
the modern French works which l had
hoped to find in slight demand: md Most Most
would have before the war. Some were
knocked down at three times the high

at auctions of furniture. china. brie-a-
Everything went for to 20 per cent

Local Trade Often Desirable.

Many producers find customers among
high-class hotels. restaurants, clubs,
summer resorts, etc. Local markets
are often well worth cultivating. There
are many people in the smaller towns
and villages who have had no opportu-
nifty to learn what specially fattened
poultry is like. and who will be regular
customers at good prices when they
learn the difference between the ten
der, juicy meat of the carefully pre-
pared, especially fed fowl and the dry,
tasteless poultry of the ordinary mar
ket.
1t never pays to market poultry in
this condition. The producer who sells
poor fowls loses in the lower market
price received for the entire carcas
He loses the profit which he might
realize on the extra flesh that could be
added at a cost of one-third or less of
its market value. He loses Indirectly
through the reduced consumption re-
sulting from lack of quality, which
makes it more difficult to sell his prod
ucts in the future.
1t is waste.of money and loss of
time to attempt to market range fed
fowls. Their flesh is tough, coarse
grained. and lacking in flavor. 1t is
next to impossible to build up a reSu-
lar trade in this class of poultry.
Table poultry produced by ordinary
fattening is much better than the or
dinary grades, although most of the
fattening is not of the highest order
BY this method the gains secured dur
ing the period of week or ten days
are so much more profita BILE than those
secured later that most of the pro-
ducers confine their efforts to this
method, although it is known that the
highest finish cannot be secured with
out longer feeding. Fowls so fed may
be called half-fatted fowls, as distin-
guished from full fattened fowls, where
three or more weeks are employed in
the process.
Evening star., 1915-08-29
Method of Feeding in Pens.

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 he
cleaned regularly and thoroughly and
well ventilated. but not necessarily
well lighted: in fact, only sufficient
light need be supplied 10 enable the
fowls to see to eat readily. Except at
feeding time it is an advantage TO
have the pen somewhat darkcned, as
this tends to keep the fowls quieter
and to restrict their exercise.
The floor should be covered with alb
sorbent litter and enough trouGhS
should be supplied to enable all Of the
fowls to eat at the same time. II issa
good plan to have the troughS elevated
so the fowls will not scratch IL fun OF
litter. Three weeks is long enough to
keep fowls in fattening pen and care
should be taken that no feed gets in
the litter as the object Is to fatten the
fowls with as little exercise as possl-
bile

Crate Feeding Most Convenient.

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 of the
coops Under ordinary conditions the
largest gains will he secured by this
method. Because crate feeding removes
all opportunity for exercise, il produces
flesh of the best quality. 1t is more
sanitary than pen feeding, and is most
convenient, as each bird is under per-
feet control of the owner and others.
Birds that are not doing well or are
annoyina the others may be removed,
leaving the other fowls contented.
Fowls may be fattened in less time
in crates than in pens, as the bir'is have
nothing to do but TO eat, and the food
consumed goes into flesh, not being
wasted in exercise weekly gain of
one pound per bird is possible in crate
feeding, and it is easy to fatten large
numbers in small space.
The length of time for which the
fowl should be fattened depends upon
a number of conditions. Some birds
will stand heavy feeding longer than
Others but as rule il takes about
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 fee,-
ing. after which the surplus should be
removed and the trough either removed
or turned over Little grit or green
foods are necessary while fattening. and
the hulk of the liquid food should he
sweet skim milk or buttermilk.

cd of fattening chickens on small
scale. and while fowls so fed cannot ne
as well finished as in crate feeding
there are conditions under which the
use of this method is recommended.
Fowls will generally make somewhat
smaller gains in pens than In crates.
The quality of the flesh produced in
pen fattening is not good, however,
because the fowls take more exercise
and 1t is doubtful whether there is less
work in pen feeding than there is in
crate feeding.
