DEVELOP NEW TOWN MARKET
Farmers Can Get Better Prices by
Selling Fowls Direct to Consum-
ers-Advertising Helps.

Farmers who have a number Of
roasting-size chickens ready to sell to
commission men might get better
price for them by selling to town or
city jewellers. Such prospective buy
ers can be found readily by using q
little advertising space in the home
town newspaper, and good business
be developed.
Many city dwellers have small
yard and house for poultry where
they keep a few birds to fatten on
table and kitchen scraps. Such peo-
pie prefer birds of the roasting size,
keeping q small flock of them so they
may pick out bird when needed.
They usually buy a half-dozen or more
at one time and will pay more for
them than the farmer can get from
the commission man ordinarily. This
is good way to dispose of surplus
cockerels at time when the open
market might be oversupplied.

PROPER CARE OF INCUBATOR
Practice of Pennsylvania School to
Regulate Temperature Before Put
ting Eggs in Machine.

A constant temperature is essential
In the incubator. The practice at the
Pennsylvania School OF Agriculture
and experiment station Is to regulate
the temperature carefully before the
eggs are placed In the machine. The
regulator should not be disturbed af-
ter that time. Any further adjustment
of the temperature should be made by
lowering the flame of the lamp.
For the first week the temperature
should be 102 to 103 degrees, for the
second week about 103 degrees, and
beginning with the third week and con-
tlnuing to the end of the hatch, 103 to
104 degrees. These temperatures hold
good when the center Of the bulb Of
the thermometer Is about IL inches
above the bottom of the egg tray.

CRATE FOR FATTENING
LARGER Gains and Better Condi-
tons of Flesh Produced.
Oroppings Fall Through Stat Bottom,
Insuring Clean Feed-Descriptlon
of Device Given by PennsyI-
vania Expert.

Crate fattening of fowls produces
larger gains and slightly better con-
dition of fleshing than pen fattening.
1t is also cleaner, since the droppings
fall through the Stat, or wire bottom,
preventing soiling of the feet and
feathers of the fowls and insuring
clean feed.
Crate fattening involves the restric-
ton of exercise and forced feeding of
the fowls. L. s. Kleinschmidt of the
poultry husbandry division at the
Pennsylvania State college, gives the
following description of a desirable
fattening crate:
Birds are placed in small crates or
cages allowing approximately one
square foot Of space for each bird.
The most desirable crate is six feet
long, 10 inches wide and 20 inches
high, divided into three two-foot COM
partments. The entire coop may be
made of wooden Stats one-half by one
inch in size, and running lengthwise
over all parts except in front, where
they should be nailed vertically. All
except the bottom Stats may be spaced
about one inch apart. The bottom may
be made of number 16 galvanized iron
wire, having a two-inch mesh. The
top, ends and back may be covered
with two-inch poultry netting in
place of the Stats. A sliding door
should be on the front of the crate to
permit the removal of the bird to ar
range the crates in tiers one above the
other. If they are SO arranged gal
vanized iron trays should be placed
beneath each crate to collect drop
pings. A feed trough should be ar
ranged along the front of the crate.
A crate of this kind will accommo-
date from three to five birds in each
compartment.

DISPOSITION OF DEAD BIRDS

Kidney & Co.
iBY DIR. ]. H. wATsoN>

The kidneys and the skin work In
harmony. They're companions, the
skin being the second partner. If we
are anxious to keep we'll and preserve
the vitality of the kidneys and, also
free the blood from noxious elements,
we must pay special attention to a
good action of the skin and to see that
the kidneys are flushed so as to elimi-
nate the poisons from the blood.
Sweating, by hard work or in bath,
at least once a week, helps to keep the
skin and kidneys in good condition.
Flush the kidneys by drinking plenty
Of pure water with meals and between
meals. Occasionally obtain at the drug
store Aluric, double strength, which
will help flush the kidneys and the in
testines. You will find that Anuric is
many times more active than lithia
and that it dissolves uric acid as hot
water does sugar.

CHICKS THRIVE BEST IN EARLY SPRING

(From the United States Department of
Agriculture)
Contrary to general belief and prac-
tice, chicks do not grow or thrive as
well during the warm months or hot
summer days as they do earlier in the
spring. Experienced poultrymen real
lie this fact. The average farmer,
however, does not make an effort TO
hatch early so that the chicks will
have the advantage of a longer and
more favorable growing season. Early
Matching not only insures more rapid
gains In the growth of chicks but has
a favorable influence on the size of
the individuals of the flock. Late
Matched chicks rarely, If ever, attain
the size of those Matched early. Early

ing the advantage of more favorable
growing season, makes greater gains

the early spring months when the tenn

of chicks is more uniform and con-
slant than it is during the summer.

COMFORT FOR EARLY CHICKS
