Pen Fattening.
Tho farmer or bnek yard poultry
keeper can fatten his thickens to best
advantage by pen or crnto fattening.
In pen futteiilng '.'0 to no chickens
ure confined lu n pen with u small
yard nnd red u fattening mash, surli
in one composed of two parts of com
ment i.nd one part middlings mixed
with skim or buttermilk. If no milk
Is nvnllnblc, which would bo thu enso
111 most back yard poultry Docks, make
the mash of one part bran, ono part
middlings, threo parts corumeal and
one-fourth part meat scrap, Kecd
twice dally, morning and afternoon,
nnd In addition give n light feed of
cracked com Into lu thu afternoon.
Mix this mash to n crumbly consist
ency and keep water and grit boforo
tho chickens nil of the time. Supply
these chickens with n good quantity
of green feed, such ns sprouted outs,
lawn clippings, etc., or wasto vege
tables, such 03 cabbages, beets or
small potatoes. If skim or buttermilk
Is fed, It Is not necessary to add tho
green feed.
Crate Fattening.
' Crnto fattening Is the method of
feeding. In which from six to ten
chickens lira cnnllned together In ench
j pen, arranged In tiers for convenience
I in feeding tho chickens and cleaning
tho coops. The following ration nnd
method Is particularly adapted for
crnto fattening: 80 pounds comment.
'JO pounds ground onts ami 10 pounds
shorts mixed with skim or buttermilk,
which Is nvnllablo on ninny farms. Tho
feed Is mixed with milk to tho con
sistency of thick cream, or so that It
wilt Just drip from tho tip of a wooden
spoon. About three-fifths of .tho mix
turo should be milk, and It Is ndvlsnhlo
to uso n larger per cent of milk In hot
than lu cold weather to keep tho chick
ens from going off their feed. Tho birds
should bo fed lightly for tho first few
feeds, when they can ho given nil tho
feed they will eat up In about thirty
mlmili.s, while nny feed left nt tho
end of that I lino should bo taken away.
Crate fattening Is only advised whero
milk Is available for mixing thu ra
tion. Thu chickens may bo fed either
two or threo times dally, and can ho
foil heavier at night to good advan
tage than In tho morning or noon.
'I ho greatest iinil cheapest gnlns nro
made on broilers, which nro usually
fed about fourteen days, whllo tho
length of tho fattening period may bo
shortened slightly for fryers ami roast
ers. Tho greatest profit ami the high
est prices are secured from early
chickens, whether they nro broilers or
roasters. It takes from four to suven
pounds of grain to produce u pound of
gain In fattening.
Crates nnd fnttenlug pens should bo
kept clean and carefully disinfected.
Tho droppings should he removed
dally or overy other day, and after n
lot of chickens uro killed thu pen
should be sprayed with whitewash
containing li per cent of carbolic ncld.
It Is not necessary to treat tho chick
ens Individually for llco If the coops
nro treated In this way. It Is iiilvjs
nblo either to spray the trays of tho
crates lightly with it coal-tar disinfect
ant uftci' cleaning, or to sprltiklo them
with nlr-slakcd lime. Tho coops
should ho examined carefully onco
dally and sick anil dead birds removed.
This Is especially essential lu tho fall
luon t lis when tho chickens aro moro

TO INCREASE VALUES
Tho head of u concern which
operates three largo stores In
Greater New York and handles
largo qunntttlcM of all-meat
products recently made tho
statement that, lu his opinion,
tho poultry growers of tho
United States could do moro. to
Increase iho value of their poul
try products by fattening all
poultry before selling It than In
any other way, Tho proper
plaeu to fatten poultry Is on tho
fnrm or In tho buck yard whero

process of growing tho poultry!

will Improve their flesh with thu
least trouble and cost.
Corn a Fattening Feed.
Corn is heating and fattening, nnd
when fed to closely confined fowls In
largo quantities fut rather than eggs Is
tho usual result. For laying hens It
should bo balanced with meat, hone,
linseed, gluten and such feeds ns nro
rich In nitrogenous matter, for corn Is
deficient In this constituent. When
corn Is fed to laying li'dis Hint hnvo
opportunity to tnko plenty of exorcise
nnd to secure Insects nnd green feed,
much moro satisfactory results nro
likely to bo obtained than when It Is
fed to tho sama fowls closely confined.
It may bo fed qulto largely In tho cold
climates during winter, but should bo
fed sparingly during summer.
Vary Poultry Ration.
In feeding grain to poultry thu aim
of tho feeder should bo to glvo a va
riety. No ono kind of grain nlono Is
best. Vnrlety may bo secured by mix
ing tho grains or by feeding tho differ
ent kinds of grain on different days.
This variety Is In accordance with
nature. When on freo range, tho fowls
obtain a llttlo of' several different
kinds of feed, 'drain should not bo
tnado tho solo feed, except In the fat
tening pen, for then fat and not eggs
Is tho usual result.
