close together, small spread between
pelvic bones and rear end of keel, and
hard. small abdomen. In breeds with
yellow or medium yellow shanks and
yellow beaks and vents.

BETTER FINISHED BR0|LERS
OBTAINED BY QUICK GROWTH
Brothers Always Command u Ready
Market. But Much Skill is Re
CURED to Make a Success of
This Speciality i'm the Poul-
try Business.

If a vote were taken as to the most
popular method of cooking chicken.
probably broiled chicken would re-
ceive the preponderance of the votes
cast. Particularly in the city broiled
chicken is regarded with special favor
and there is good reason for this
preference.
The diner in the city retaurant,
when he orders boiled, baked, or fried
chicken may get tender, juicy meat.
but the chances are more than even
that he will not, for birds of all ages
are used in the preparation of these
dishes. When he orders broiled
chicken he is sure that the meat will
be what he desires. for only young
chickens are used for broiling. This
demand causes well-finished broilers
to command good price in the mar
ket all the year around.
Three Types of Broilers.
Broilers are young. plump chick
ems, weighing, when dressed, from
three-quarters of a pound to pounds
and are usually killed when from 8
to IL weeks old. The name is de-
rived fromsthe fact that they are
usually split down the. mibble and the
halves broiled. The market demand
today is for broilers of three sizes
SQUAD broilers. small broilers, and
large broilcrs.
SQUAD broilers, when dressed weigh
from three-quarters of a pound to
pound each; small broilers, the size
most in demand the greater part OF
the year, weigh from to IL pounds
each; and large broilers from l " to
y pounds each. In most American
markets q yellow-skinned and yellow
legged bird is perferred, but this rs
not Of as much importance as good
quality meat. The raising of broiler
chickens, until the finishing period
lis reached, is practically the same as
poses.
The main point is to keep. them
growing rapidly. say poultry special
lists of the United States Department
Iof Agriculture.
To Finish Broilers for Market.
A fat broiler Is quiet a rarity; the
best that can be done, in general. is to
have it plump, for the natural ten
dency of the chick is to use all nutri-
ment for growth and development.
When the birds are nearly laree
enough for the market they should
be given all the fattening feed they
will eat; and for this purpose corn in
various forms should be fed freely.
The chicks will digest more feed
liz fed ground than If whole or crack
led. A moistened mash consisting OF
|about two-thirds corn meal and one
third bran, by bulk. is excellent for
the purpose. Cooked potatoes are
good, and milk, with little sugar
added, will hasten fattening. Broil-
ers may be sold alive or dressed &C.
cording to the discretion Of the grow
er. If dressed, this should be done
to the demands of the mar
ket to which they are to be shipped.

To labor hard. preparing gardens

bage and other root crops. only to
have then, killed by pests is not likely
to prove encouraging to the amateur
or professional gardener.
OF late years root maggots have
become SO troublesome that almos.
every entomologist in the country has
been searching for something with
which to deal deathblow to the mag
got pest,
Every now and again some one
would come forth with "sure rem

|ground after a few trials.
The Charles H. Lilly company grow
every year. for seed purposes, be-
tween 500 and 1000 acres Of cab

damage done by root maggots makes
serious inroads upon the crops. In
fighting the magot pest this concern
obtained the best Information pro-
