Interesting Fart* About Poultry
Raising.
Fenton Gall has recently written an
nteresting article for the Farm Bueau
concerning poultry ra'sing, from
?hich we take the following article: j
When a poultryman has been sucressful
with a large flock fbr an e.tended
period his methods of fccdng,
;tc., assumes an added importance
[. H. Daniels, near Shenaandoah Juncion,
came to the conclusion that there |
s more money in poultry than in gen- I
;ral farmng and erected bn the farm
i modern poultry plant, and installed j
incubators. Last year his flock of J
425 White Leghorns averaged 172
. ggs per hen. His sales of eggs and
fowls ambunted to S2, 673 54, an 1 he
sold 4,(KX) baby chicks for $680. His
Flock was increased by 150 pullets, |
wh'ch at $1.50 each (a low estimrto
ire worth $225. His gross returns
therefore for the year from his 425
Fowls amounted to $2,073.54, and he
grades and ships his qggs to eastern
pnints. The highest net price received
per dozen last year was 98
cents in December and the lhwest 22
cents in May. The average pr'ce for
November was 87 cents and for December
85 cents. Mr. Daniels' grain
ration is composed of two parts corn
and one part wheat. Eight quarts
per 100 hens are fed daily in a deep
litter (which is renewed every two
weeks). The mash consists of KM)
pounds each of cornmeal, middlings,
bran and meat scrap, with 30 pounds
of oil meal, 8 pounds charcoal and
one pound of salt. This is kept be
fore the towls in selr-feed'ng hoppers,
placed on platforms so that the fowls
cannot scratch the litter into the feed.
Moistened mash is fed at noon. Sprouted
oats is fed at 1 or 2 p. m., 1 sq.
in. per hen. Even on nice days in
the winter t'me the fowls are kept confined
until 2 to'clock, when they are
turned into a lot sown to kale. Mr.
Daniels has an extensive knowledge of
poultry and is always glad to give anv
information concerning h's methods.
He has installed an electric light plant
and has an ingenious home made
"mixer" for the mash.
It 's interesting to know the different
methods of feeding used by
local poultrymcn who have been successful
in obtaining large egg production.
The high egg record of Marion
Gano's fleck was given recently. His
method of feeding was unusual. He
kept a commercial scratch grain before
the fowls constantly instead of
feeding it twice a day in a litter. He
also kept a dry mash before them and
fed a wet mash once a day, and also
sprouted oats. He believes the high
rectord attained was due in large part
to the use of electric lights. Usually
a flock will cat too much grain if kept
constantly before them.
H. T. Murphy, of Berkeley Station,
has made money on poultry as a side
line to his regular vocation. He has
given poultry kocping much study
and gets a yearly h'gh egg record from
his pure-bred stock. At the time of
a recent visit to his place his flock
of 140 Wyandottes was giving him a
daily profit of $1.70 above the cost of
feed. He feeds a mash compound of
100 pounds each of corn meal, alfalfa
meal, and meat scrap, w'th 200 pounds
of mill feed and 00 pounds of rolled
oats. This is kept before the hens in
dry form and a wet n&sh is fed at
noon. He also feeds sprouted oats
and cabbage, the latter hung on
strings to make the hens exercise.
About four gallons of scratch feed two
parts corn and one part wheat
are fed daily in the litter, the greater
part being fed in the evening. Mr.
Murphy recently built a large laying
house after plans drawn by himself.
He buys all ?>f his feed. His total
sales last year amounted to $740 and
his profit, above feed expense, $228.45.
"When a wet mash is used it is
generally fed at noon, but J. C. Heinz,
of Kearncysville, feeds it in the eve
mug. ins hock or j(xi Kocks lias
given a fifty per cent lay since December
10th. Last year he fed much
heavier than this year and his flock
gave a s'xty-five per cent lay fbr several
months, lie believes the heavy
feed of mash with the regulation
amount of meat scrap injured his
fowls and this year in the mash he is
using only 15 pounds of meat scrap
with 100 pounds each of corn meal,
middlings and bran. He feeds a
scratch feed- two-thirds corn in the
nmrning and keeps the dry mash before
the fowls.
To keep in good condition in the
winter time fowls require green feeds,
such as sprouted oats, cabbage, kale, alfalfa
meal, chopped alfalfa and clover
hay. If cabbage >s also raised it
should bg fed first, as the mangels
will keep better in the cellar. Rye.
wheat ?>r kale sown close to the laying
house, and early enough to get a
good start before winter, furnishes excellent
green feed on nice days in the
winter and for early spring. Sprouted
oats make the best of green feeds.
The oats are soaked over n'ght in
warm water and then spread one-inch
thick on frays with perforated bottoms
and kept well watered. Many find the
temperature by the kitchen stove sufficient
to sprout the oats for feeding in
a week's time. Each hen should be
fed da'ly one square inch of the
sprouted oats surface. If a hundred
'i hens are kept the trays shtould have
a total surface of 700 square inches,
and 100 square inches fed daily and
this space again filled with soaked
oats.
From records covering len years
in the Connecticut egg-laying contest
t is known that a Leghorn will con- i
sumc on the average about 75 pounds .
of feed in a year and the Rocks, Reds I
and Wyandottes from 85 to 90 pounds.
The average price of grain and mash
last year for the contest was $1.90 a
hundred, and the dost of the light
breeds per hen was $143, and the
heavy breeds, $1.71. Allowing for the
cost of oyster shell, etc., at present
prices a hen can be fed a full ration
throughout the year for $2 00. On
the demonstration farms in th's State
the feed last year cost about SI.85 per
hen on the average?records for
4,534 hens. The cost of grain is less
this year.
Something About Ducks,
Ducks arc usually mated in flocks of
about 30 females with Ave or six males
as the drakes do not fight one another.
The number of males may be reduced
to one for every seven females about
the first of March, and again changed
a month later to one male for eight
to ten females.
Active, healthy females of medium
size should be used for breeding;
that is, weighing about eight pounds
when mature. Only mature birds
should be used as breeders. Se'ect
ducks with short necks, medium long
bodies, flat back, and of good depth
to the keel bones. Watery eyes usually
are a sign of weakness in ducks. Tha
drake is coarser and more masculine
in appearance than the duck, and has a
distinct curl in his tail feathers. Ducks
should be sold, usually, after they are
two years old, although the best breeders
or layers may be kept over their
third year, say poultry specialists in
the United States Department of Agriculture.
In handling ducks, pick them up by
their necks, as their legs are very
easily broken. Ducks lay their eggs
early in the morning, and should be
confined to the house or pen until 9.30
or 10 o'clock in the morning. If allowed
to roam early in the morning
they may lay in a pond or stream and
the eggs may be lost.

work is a severe strain on my back

backaches that it was hard for me to

How to Fail In a Dairy Business.
1
Paradoxically, sometimes the best
way to show how to do a thing is to
show how not to no it. Thus a West |
Virginia farmer gives some rules how
not to succeed w'th cows. He says:
Don't weigh your milk, for then you
might have to figure and think.
Feed the etiws timothy hay; it is good
for race horses.
Cow-test'ng associations are need-1
less; they show you how to save and
know.
Keep the barn hot; cows arc like
woodchucks.
Don't have many windows in tht
barn; the hired man might look out.
Keep the water ice-cold; shivermg
gives the cows exercise.
Avoid heavy milkers; they consume
too much valuable time.

Wealth Buried in an Oat Pile.
Scooping oats from ? bin in a barn
on his farm near Lovett, Cambria
county, Pa., David Knapper Ibund an
old w allet buried among the grain, j
u(i?ntu, 11 nvcmca iichi>iiui>io secur:-}
tics and thritt stamps to trie value of j
$17,450. Investigation disclosed that
the wallet was the property of John
Hogentogler, who was killed t>n January
10, when a falling tree struck him
on the head while he was employed
on the Knapper farm. He was unmarried
and had been working for
Knapper for two years.
Following his death, a brother,!
Charles Hogentogler, was appointed ad- ,
ministrator of an estate consisting of a \
small piece of property, which had >
been left by the dead man. Until 1
the finding of the wallet it was not I
known by any other than Hogentogler ,
himself that he had possessed a small
' fortune.
Knapper stated that he believed
that Hogentogler, while employed on
the farm, had used the oats bin as a
j hiding place for his accumulating
wealth. After the accident he did not |
'regain consciousness and consequent-J
I ly could not tell anyone of his treasure. |
i The old oats bin was nearly empty j
; when the well-stuffed wallet was
' found. It was turned over to Charles!
Hogentogler, who lives in Portage.
