The first class of chickens to be sold
are the early Matched broilers. The
cockerels are fattened and marketed
at twelve weeks. The pullets are re-
tanned for the laying house.
The cockerels should be specially fed
make them plump In bedy and well
feshed on the breast NO methoo OF
finishing equals milk feeding, connne-
naent in q wire-bottom fattening crate,
with three meals a day OF equal wegnts
of cornmeal, wheat shorts and ground
oats mixed to a thin slop with butter
milk or sour skim milk. Other food or
water Is unnecessary. Ten-week-oid
chickens so fed for two weeks gain on
the average thee-quarters Of pound
in live weight, are known as milk-fed
frys and bring the highest prices on
'ae market The cost of milk-feeding
chickens in crates is less per pound
gain in live weight than for similar chick
ems confined in houses or fed on range.
The reason is that the crate-fed chick
ems does not exercise and use part OF
the food TO repair his muscles-what
he eats goes to the development OF
edible flesh.
Another method of finishing these ten
week-oid cockerels is to confine them
for two weeks in an open-front house
and feed twice daily mash OF equal
parts cornmeal. ground oats. wheat

inca should add one part of eowpeas

Always confine poultry for two weeks
before selling. Confinement. with les
