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 '

ers of table variety for certain mar
kets.
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

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. ! ■
