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

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."

, 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.
