The
Rambler
AWotering Mouth
In Center Market
By JACK JONAS

A market before a holiday
is a tempting place to be, full
of the promise of a grooming
table and the threat OF an
overstepped budget.
Center Market City, all SO
stands of it, is in that holi-
day mood. Its open front,
where the roof juts out over X
streets sidewalk, is decked
with piles of holly, pine and
mistletoe. Instead of eggs and
rutabaga, customers and mer-
chants haggle there over
the price of pine cones and
wreaths.
At the far end, inside the
market, there is a blaze of red
where a florist displays banks
of poinsettias.
1t is what's between these
Christmas greens and reds
that takes the heart out of a
man with a limited purse, and
makes his wife feel she'd as
soon have left him at home.

THE BIRD is the center Of
interest, for around the bird
centers the Christmas dinner.
The meat counters are
crammed with huge turkeys,
plump chickens, juicy ducks
and geese-and that late
conner, Rock CornishS game
hen.
Hams and sausages are all
but buried under the ava
lanche of birds. Arguments
grow over whether this tur-
key or that one is too big for
the oven or the appetite.
Pfeffernusse, English wall
nuts, candy canes and pop
corn-Christmas traditions all
are pushed temptingly to the
front of the stalls. Close by
are chestnuts and oysters and
sage for stuffing the bird and
the family.
High-piled baskets Of fruit,
with oranges, apples and
bananas packed In tight and
wrapped in amber cellophane,
raise memories of a day when
an orange and a banana In
the stocking by the fireplace
was the annual treat.
The narrow aisles are
damned with shoppers expert
enced at evading the carts
that bring new stock to the
shelves and the pushbrooms
that get rid of the paper and
scraps of lettuce.
A woman Slaps her young
ster's fingers for pulling at a
bunch of grapes, then reaches
up to pinch an oEange. -
connoisseur tastes 4 sliyer Of
cheese before she buys.

Plenty Of fresh air" is Ed Lara
more's motto, and it has paid of
He starts ventilating the first week
and gradually allows more and
more ventilation as the chicks
grow older. He lowers the sliding
windows in front and raises up
the Is" board in rear (can be
opened part way with no direct
draft). Except in very severe wea-
tier, he starts removing boards
Jetween the rear rafters when the
chicks are 8 days of age. This al
lows some cross ventilation in adj
ditiOn to the fresh air coming in
the front windows. A partition
board one foot wide through the
center Of the house confines chicks
to the rear half Of the house the
first few days Of age, and prevents
floOr drafts.
ElwOOd COulbOurn is sure he
will always get some ventilation
in his broiler house through the
cloth curtains on his front win
doWs. Aside from the cost angle,
this is one advantage Of cloth cur
tains-you can always get air
movement without q draft.
Both Ed and ElwoOd have double
doors at the ends Of their houses
for cross ventilation during SUM
mer. Ed has front and rear doors
40 ft. apart (alternated to prevent
drafts) for hOor-level ventilation in
summer.
Ed feeds his broilers 8 times a
day during the early part of the
growing period, and 4 times daily
for the last two weeks. He uses
two sizes Of metal chick feeders
eleven 4 #. feeders per 1000 broil-
ers, and twenty ft. feeders per
1000 birds. He uses triangular
shaped wood blocks at each end of
his metal feeders to raise them up
when the broilers get 5 to 6 weeks
Of age. George Bringhurst uses 2"
K 4" wood blocks under his small
metal feeders at two weeks of age,
changes to- large feeders at
weeks, of age, and puts homemade
wood stands under these at s weeks
of age. Raising the feeders as
chicks grow older increases feed
consumption and reduces feed
Wastage.
1t is now time for feed dealers
to nominate their top focks sold
during the month Of September.
Send nominations to your County
Agricultural Agent or Silas Nc
Henry, Asst. Poultry Specialist.
