The following is taken from the National Stockman and Farmer : The new school in poultry husband- ry makes much of the point that old methods are laborious and expensive. It voints to the fact that the commer- cial development of the industry along old lines has in twenty-five years scarcely reached the point where venture, except on a one-man scale, vo matter how intelligently it is plan- ned. The every-day fact is that the labor bill and the building and equip- ment fund of a large poultry farm will make the venture top-heavy before it gets started, And generally the fur- ther it staggers along the worse it fares This seems an absurdity in a8 business which shows a wider theoretical gin nar- between cost and selling price x90 house Instead of one-fourth of it, A hen cau start at one end of the house and fly till she gets tired. In the small flock she had a space only 16x15 and hardly got started flying before she banged into a wire partition. Two important factors in adopting the plan of extremely large flocks and crowded quarters are Leghorn hens and muslio-front houses, providing ample ventilation, Apparently Leg horns can be kept successfully in flocks of any size, and some extraordinary are reported from farme where hens are kept in flocks number- ing 1.000 to 1,600 hens each.

KERLI Mr. A. E. TR N, CONSERVATIVE Kerlin, Centre county, Pennsylvania, started in the poultry business sexen years ago, followiog the ususl methods. He had twenty- four hens and a sixty-eight-egg incu- bator his firet year. He was ful and quickly built’ up bis flock about 600 hens ( Siogle Comb White Leghorns ) and then things began to lag. With hens divided into twelve to fifteen flocks of forty to fifty each, and with wet mashes and the other et ceterss of the old school, he found that be had a capital aud labor problem of bis own and further ad- vance was practically out of the ques tion. With small flocks and allowing five to six square feet per hen the cost of housing in substantial buildings will run from §1 to §1 50 each, may easily exceed the Iatter figure at present prices of lumber. To Mr. Ker- lin there seemed to be something wrong with a plan that wrapped up =» thousand dollars and all of one man’s daytime in a flock of 600 hens, and he rebelled. About this time he learned of the new method which offered a way out of the difficulties, #U COE ta & 600 and A E KERLIN, PROGRESSIVE The most importaut features of the pian are unususlly large fl cks, reduc- ed floor space per beu and simpler feeding methods, He promptly adopt ed this plan, aud to conform to the new standard .emodeled his three 14x 90 houses, Instead of haviog them di- vided off into several small pens, he removed all partitions and the umber of hens in a slogle lock was increased from fifty to 500, The immediate result of the change was that the houses that had been built for 600 hens in flocks of fifty now beld 1.5600 heus in Hocks of 500. Fhe capacity of bis houses was multiplied vy two and a half without the expen. diture of a dollar, aside from the labor of tearing out the partitions, and the actual every-day lavor luvolved in care ing for a flock of 600 hens is little greater than in a flock of fifty, This! change was made three years ago, | Mr. Kerlin now hss a fourth house | apd 2000 hens, and Is plavuing to double his houses aud stock in the pear future, If you mek him what he thinks of the two methods after trying | both he will tell you that if he had to £0 back to the old way he would quit, He finde after three years of experi ence that 500 hens in one flyek in'a pouse 14x90 will do as well individual. ly as 200 hens io the same house divid- ed into tHocks of forty to fifty each, aud te thinks probably even better, Not. withstanding the fact that they ware much more crowded, each hen lu the Iarge flock has four times as much dealers, \ room, That is, each has the entire 14 ew Poultry Farm. et the bottom three feet from the floor, The middle openiog is covered with a glass sash in cold weather, three feet square, being The two side openings with muslin shutters, which are opened or closed as condi. t In extremely cold weather the shutters are kept down all the time are covered ions require When it is warm or the sun or both November is shining, one From April to sash is out and all three ft wide open, i are opened. the glass openiogs are hese houses, except the last ones built, are of rough boards if covered on the oul-side with a good grade of roofing.
