WHITE HOVDANS B> IJOUIS l'uul (iraliam l Of all the new breeds and varieties j of poultry which have been Introduced jto the poultry raising public during' I the last half century not one on its 1 'lnitial appearance has been presented so nearly perfect as has the White Houdan. Their originator worked on them for seven or eight years before he of fered any for exhibition or for sale and his flrst exhibit of these novel fowls was striking. White Houdans are equally as good in shape, size and laying qualities as the original mottled variety, which has v.*on such fame as a heavy producer of large white eggs ' and as a good table fowl at the same < time. The greatest drawback to the dark variety as a table fowl has been its < dark pin feathers. This, however, is • entirely eliminated in the new variety. 1 and this feature alone is sufficient to < commend the variety to those produc- 1 dependable and arc free from vermin. They mark one of niaJi's greatest achievements In i>oultry raisins. The following: article briefly con trasts the advantages of such devices over the natural method. Before the development of modern hovers and devices for brooding, the hen was the sole dependence of the poultry raiser for mothering the young chicks. As a hen becomes broody only when she wishes, and that wish usually strikes her after she has laid out h«r batch of eggs in the late Spring, it would mean that chicks could be brooded only late in tjie Spring if we depended solely on her. Hence, because he could not select the time when he would brood his chicks, the poultry raiser in other days had to allow the hen to control his busi ness. It meant in some unfavorable seasons his hens brooded his chicks so late that the young pullets did not llnish in time to give any Fatl and winter eggs: the times of the year when •• csrs are highest and most profits are made in the poultrv - business. As each hen could care for only a lim ited number of chicks, the poultry man who depended on hens to do his brooding was of necessity limited in the number of hens he carried. He was put to a heavy expense feeding these hens while they brooded the fu ture flock, when these same hens should have been laying eggs and making a profit for him. It meant a loss in feed for the hens as we'll as eggs that they should lay on which the owner could make a profit. ,It meant, too. a loss on the money he had invested in the hens that were earning no profit and not laying eggs ' THE BEST CHICK FOOD W You can raise ever}- pa?- jf ? sible baby chick and mate /' jr"" V., ' them grow big, strong and |'t 4 vV Pratts.

The Houdan is an old French breed and has been well known in certain sections of France tor many centuries, where it has been continuously held in high esteem as a wonderful egg layer and table fowl of superior ex cellence. During all those years it has been bred continuously in its mot tled black aud white plumage, but it remained for the Ingenious fanrier of the twentieth century to change its plumage to white and thus make the Houdan even more valuable. These fowls give stood results either on free range or in limited quarters. The chicks are rapid growers when once started, doing best, of course, on free range. They make excellent broilers and splendid roasting chick ens. When full grown the females weigh ."i> s to ti'« pounds, and males 6 l 2 to 7'» pounds. They are very do cile and easily confined by a rather low fence. to even pay for their keep. Hens often take a dislike to some of their own chicks, and light them off, either i killing them or driving them away i until these unfortunate chicks dwindle and die or grow into poorly developed fowls hardly worth their feed if kept 'in the flock. The hens often trample their chicks to death. Heavy losses always followed for these reasons where hens were used to do the brood ing. liens More Care Than Brooders Mens demanded more care than modern sanitary hovers and brooders, i as they broke eggs while hatching, befouled their own nests, thus dam aging the hatch and requiring careful watching and attention by their ownerf They had to be watched after their I chicks were off or else they would Wander and drag their frail offspring to death through dewy weeds. When ft storm of rain and wind came up, the perverse hen usually selected some uncovered spot to spread her wings and hover her brood, resulting in drowned 'chicks. At least they were 11 badly bedraggled and chilled, and many of them gave tip the unequal struggle. All these losses of the hen's ' feed, eggs, chicks and the owner's i valuable time discouraged the raiser who depended on the {independable hen to raise and brood his chicks. But his greatest discouragement came through the loss of chicks from hen raising, because of lice and mites. The hen almost without fail gave her i babies lice. Then they must be greased or dusted. If not noticed early the loss was so heavy as to often kill off those not taken by earlier troubles. This treating for lice, etc., again re- I quired more valuable time that the owner should bo using to produce and ; raise more chicks and get more profits, i The flrat great advantage of hovers i and brooders la that they will work any ; time. The winter la (he same as the nice warm Spring to them. Thus the ! poultry raiser can select hla own aea-' aon and control his brooding io aa to get hla flock out In time to produce eggs when he wantß them. Develop ment of modern brooding devices ao that they care for from one hundred to five hundred chicks meana that the modern poultryman can raise poultry In thousands instead of flocks of a few dozens at the most, as he for merly had to do when hens were his dependence. The hovers and brood ers built by reliable concerns run uni formly and. being machines, do their work in a mechanical manner, just i as their owner wants them to do. They | stay where they are put, and are not I missing when n rain comes up. or en-j Raged in the dewy mornings in drag- i King their tender occupants to death through the wet grass. When they are not in use they can be stored aVay. and do not cost for useless mainte nance. They are clean and sanitary, and those of the best makers are sim ple. easily cared for and very depend able under all conditions. Hovers' Superiority Perhaps the best proof of the superi ority of hovers and brooders over the hen may be found in the fact that be fore these were developed there were practically no large farms devoted en tirely to poultry raising. To-dny they dot every State and are especially nu merous In the East, where eggs bring the best prices. Also, there are to day no large farms that do not rely on artificial brooding for raising their | chicks. One farm in Now Jersey the j past year brooded over forty thousand j chicks, all by artificial methods, in 1 tlocks of from one hundred to seven hundred. One farm on Long Island brooded over fifty thousand duck lings. all by artificial methods of brooding. Artificial brooding devices do not harbor lice and mites to inflict on their chicks. Should other fowls get among the chicks and scatten lice and mites, the brooding device can quickly be disinfected and cleansed, as they are inanimate, and will stand strong remedies, while a hen will not. Hut lice and mites are practically unknown where artificial hatching and brood ing are practiced. This means a sav ing of chicks as well as time. Naturally. In developing any appli ance or method so revolutionary as artificial brooding the first attempts were rather crude and cumbersome. Many Impractical devices were used. Even to-day new devices are appear ing everj- year. Some of these will stand the test of practical use while others will fall by the wayside. Be fore purchasing very heavily of any | new device the rule of common sense should be brought to bear on the prin ciples Involved in the new idea. | The successful brooding devices most widely used to-day cover a few well-defined principles, those that ■ should be followed to raise not only I the largest numbers of chicks but the I most rugged and healthy ones. A warm even temperature radiated down on (the backs of the chicks in a uniform j manner all the time is perhaps the I lirst and foremost positive rule in brooding chicks. Too much heat is | harmful and so is too little. The same I may be said of an uneven heat, now .warm enough and then too little or too | much heat. From 85 degrees to even 'as much as 95 degrees in young chicks j is generally considered as ideal. Pure Air Essential Fresh pure air to breathe is of vital limportance and must be obtainable at j all times both day and night. The ! fresh air is generally allowed to reach the chicks through strips or curtains of muslin, thus evenly distributing it and preventing drafts. Drafts are to be avoided with chicks just the same as with people and for the same rea son, as they bring on colds and sim ilar complaints. This air to breathe should be slightly warm but not over heated. Fumes or gases from the heating device should not escape un der the hover where the chicks must stay when they want warmth. As hovers and brooders must be cleaned out and kept sweet and clean, they should be easily moved and easy of access every way. They should not be complicated or of expensive me chanical construction. The simpler their construction the better they will usually operate, and the less time It will take to care for them. At the same time they will create a warm even glow of heat downward on the chicks' backs, and furnish plenty of fresh air circulating under the cur tain. As uneven heat, insufficient heat, hot or cold spots or corners will cause the chicks to crowd and pile upon each other with fatal effect, it is im portant that the heat is evenly dis tributed and there are no extremely hot or cool places under the hover or brooder. Use and Value of the Trap Nest The trap nest is another of man's inventions that has reduced the hen laying business to a science. It is a gTeat economizer, as it eliminates the loafing hen from the flock and heads her to the market. The industrious hen has nothing to fear from the trap. She is la- j beled at once as a paying propoei- | tion and often rises to the distinc- | Hon of being set aside for the brooding pen, as egg-laying is the quality most sought by poultry I raisers. Next week's article will tell how ! the trap nest can be used to best | i advantage. Look for it appearing exclusively next Saturday in the Telegraph. ! ■ ■" W. F.
