OUR MERCHANT MARINE.
The Annual Report Shows a Substantial In
crease in Tonnage.

The Annual Report Shows Substantial In
crease in Tonnage.
According to the annual report of the
commissioner OF navigation for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1915, the merchant
marine of the United States. including
all kinds of documented shipping. COM
prised on June 80 last, 26, 701 vessels of
8, 3S9, 429 gross tons, as compared with
26, 943 vessels of 1928, 688 gross tons one
year earlier. The years absolute in
crease in tonnage, 46O, TAI gross tons, has
never been equalled in our history. While
the total tonnage has increased, the num-
Der of documented vessels has decreased
242, sailing vessels alone decreasing 593
in number. The decline in the number
of vessels with an increase in the total
tonnage is normal result of the develop
ment of water transportation. The size
of vessels has been steadily increasing
since steel and steam came into general
use. In tonnage and value the merchant
passed only by that under the British flag,
other two foreign flags combined except
the British.
American shipping registered for the
1oIelRH udue, lnCiuoeu III tue HguTes
above, numbered on June 80, 1915, 2794
vessels OF 1871, 543 gross tons, an in
crease during the year of 3s9 vessels and
795, 39l gross tons. This increase is three
times as great as the increase In regis
tered tonnage during any previous year
in our history.
Our shipyards on the seaboard at the
present time are busily employed ard the
output for the year at present prospects
will probably reach 40G,0 gross tons.
On June 80, 1915, the seaboard yards
reported that 81 steel vessels Of 294, 1873
gross tons were under construction or
under contract to be built, tonnage
which has not been approached at the
corresponding date in the last Is years
except in 1901, when SO vessels of 273, 1865
gross tons were so reported.

This article may interest some of our
poultrymen and It certainly interested
the writer, who for the past two Christ
mas has had milk fed chicken from
Montana, but did not know how they
were produced. They were about as
broad as they were long, fat and heavy
meated, and nothing better could be de-
sired for Christmas dinner. They came

Milk Fed Chicks.
Process of Fattening Takes Only Two
Weeks and is not Hard.

Within the last few years there has
been evolved new department in the
poultry industry which has become ma
tional factor in the commercial poultry
world. This new department is the milk
feeding of chickens in crates. Through
out the country there are hundreds of
plants where anywhere from dozen to
40, 900 chickens are fattened by this sci
entitic feeding method at one time.
I A llvelier demand, greater consump-
ton, better price and customers fully
satisfied are the results of this novel sys
TEN of finishing chickens for market. 1t
marks the difference between a green
and finished product, between the pro-
duct the CT itical buyer wants and what
he has to accept because there is nothing
better at hand.
Only those who have eaten a prime
milk fed chicken, properly prepared for
the table, understand the superiority OF
it's flesh to that of the well fed chicken
allowed free range. In the case of the
milk fed the muscular tissues have been
so softened by close confinement that
thick portion of cooked meat can be sew
cred with the fork, whereas the activity
of the chicken on the range maintains
the toughness and natural resistance of
muscles. Globules of fat are distributed
through the lean meat of every portion
of the BODY of the milk fed, giving de-
licious juciness and flavor when cooked
that is rarely found in any other fowl.
Milk feeding chickens is simple I'M
dertaking that can be successfully Coz
Quoted by any one. 1t is money max
ing business, because the chlchens are

! There are only four requisites: A sup
| ply of fattenlng crates in which the
chickens are confined, suitable chickens
for feeding, mixture of ground meal
and quantity OF Duttermllk or we'll
soured skim milk.
| Fattening crates are generally, made
about 10 feet long, Is inches wide and
% inches high, and set on legs about 80
inches above the ground. Each crate is
divided into four compartments to pre-
vent the chickens from walking from
end to end The floor is covered with
wire netting so that the droppings fall
10 the ground, keeping the crates SAM
/ tary. This wire netting floor will rot
affect the feet of the birds. The back
ends and divisions are also covered with
wire netting.
The front of the crate is covered with
narrow laths nailed on vertically to pro-
vide sufficient divisions for all the chick
ems to eat at once from the V-shaped
trough at the front of the crate. This
feeding trough rests on notched supports
nailed to the ends of the crate, and
should be removable. The roof should
project far enough over the crate to pro-
tpct the chickens from rain
Place the crates outdoors in any shell
tered location, under some trees or in an
open shed. The chickens are confined
closely and require abundant ventilation.
One of these crates 10 feet long will &C.
commodate 60 pounds of chickens-15
pounds to each compartment.
