THE MORNING ASTOMAN, ..ASTORIA, OREGON. THURSDAY, MARCH 21, 1907. HOPPER FEEDING. 4a Experiment Which Sm to Dmontr II Hprrlorltr. An expertmeut station worker sends om Interesting Information about lot of chicken. He says: ? "Early In July we had Da Incubator batch come off, and the chicks, forty seven In inmittcr, were given to three bens. One, a Brahma, wai given twen ty, one Orpington hen fifteen and a Barred Rock hen twelve. All were placed on free range. The Brahma waa placed on gram and fed nothing but toft food for the flmt two weeks, the food being equal parts oatmeal, cornmeal and bran, with 25 per cent teat meal. Tela waa fed twice a day and the other two feeda bread and milk. At the end of two weeks we fed two maahes dally, hard grain In morning and sprouted wheat at night t,'The other two hens were put In the middle of 4 twenty acre Held, and a hopper filled with cracked wheat and cracked corn and coarse beef scraps mixed with the grain was put In each .coop. They were only visited twice k week, AJ1 the hens were given full liberty after five days, and one result la the cornfield chicks are as wild as partridges; hare to crawl up on hands and knees to get even a glimpse of them. Noting that they were growing right away from the others that were band fed, I went out one evening with a set of small scales and a box to weljrh them. The chicks were not se lected at all; wer Just taken from under the hen as ! could reach them Four wre weighed from each coop. Pounds. Ounws.

Hopper feeding makes the work twice as easy for poultry men. We have hoppers here now an haTO over 1,000 growing youngsters. Since this style of feeding was established here I get up three quarters of an hour later of a morning and do not have to break my back carrying hive or four bushels of wheel at time to feed In (He mornings." ' Sou Poultry Evil. George A. Palmer, a prominent Eng lish breeder, very trxUy says: "The most serious evils of present farm mismanagement are crowding tbt birds on an acre or two of poultry tainted land just around the homestead that ban probably tera overstocked with fowl for hundreds of years; In breeding, which, however useful oc casionally In show stock, can only re sult with utility stout In decreased productiveness, attended by liver dis ease and tuberculosis ; the neglect of pure bred aires, which are Just as Im pressive In the poultry yard as ba lar ger stock; Insanitary houses, Improper feeding, consisting too often of any odd aack of grain that happens to be about the place or, worse still, solely of pur chased corn; the greatest evil of all, setting eggs Indiscriminately from the whole flock without the slightest at tempt at selection unless It Is for the largest egg, which result In the great eat proportion of Infertile and usually bring out the weakest chickens." n""" 1 , Feeding Por Sis. Some may be interested la knowing how we feed for size, says an old breeder. We Induce exercise, but feed plentifully and make the diet as varied as possible. Milk, meat, grain and green food form the main basis of our feeding. Skimmed milk at 6 cents per gallon Is a cheap food, and we also use quantities of thick sour milk. Prac tically no corn is fed onr younif stock until six months old. Bran and mid dlings are a dally portion of the diet and are kept before the chicks at al! times In a dry state, but sometimes we moisten this mixture for a change. Hare found whole oats soaked in skim milk a great growth producer, but they should not be fed until chick reach the age of six weeks. Charcoal, grit and cool water are not forgotten. Labor on Poultry farm The demand for labor on poultry farms la, of coarse, strictly limited and Is confined almost entirely to experl encej workers, although on the" large establishments a large number of men and women ore employed In plucking, dressing and packing. an if this is not skilled labor It is sometlrng akin to it and is not the kind of work a person could take' to without sooe experience and practice. There la a good oppor tunity for young men who are pre pared to uudergo a thorough training in the management - of fancy stock. This branch offers good reward for workers, and progress la made In It entirely through merit Wages rua up to $30 and board per month. The Karragansett Turkey.
