Formerly the Buff Cochin frequently had dark colored features in the wings and tails of both sexes, and on the necks of the hens, but this defect has been overcome and Buff Cochins are now bred to a soft, uniform shade of buff all over, the males matching the females in color. The Cochins' masslveness, long foot covering and lordly stride make them Imposing fowls. They are bred for excessive length and softness of feath ers in all sections. This gives the fowl a big, round, soft appearance. It ts probable that the Knslish breeders have made even greater headway in this respect than the Americans, al though the American-bred birds are bred to a much more even and softer golden buff color. First class speci mens bring high prices. The Buff Cochin is bred chiefly for fancy. Its utilitarian qualities have been preserved in the American breeds, ot which it was one of the ancestors. Huff Cochins are good backyard fowls. They thrive in confinement and can be restrained by a low fence. Their buff plumage does not soil as readily as white, and the fowls will respond to intensive feeding methods. They lay large, h'rown eggs, and tne hens aie usually good setters and mothers. The chicks are rugged anu hard-- and grow fast, but take longer to mature than any of the American varieties. The males weigh from ten to fifteen pounds, and the females from eight to ten pounds. Their fle.di j is of unusual quality.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH FATTENING FOWLS FOR MARKET IS VERY PROFITABLE. Conditioning Is Easy When the Birds Are Fed in Crates; Meal and Butter-! milk or Sour Milk Used Demand For Fancy Grades Is Greater Than the Supply, but Poor Stock Always Is Plentiful By W. G. Kruni Department of Poultry Husbandry. New York State College of Agricul ture, Cornell University. COPYRIGHT, 1915. When the weight of market poultry ••an ho increased on an average of inyre tluui three pounds per bird, at a cost of 8 to 12 cents per pound, the advantage of conditioning poultry is apparent. Since the fattening in creases the value of every pound, it will Ik> realized that conditioning •* highly profitable. In this article Pro fessor Kruni gives directions for fat tening poultry for market. ONLY a small proportion of poul try is marketed in first-class con dition, properly fattened. Yet the process of conditioning poultry is so simple, and the increase in the quality and market value makes the net profits so much larger that there is no excuse for the great quantity of poor table poultry to be found, even in the best markets. By fattening we do not mean filling a fowl's body with large deposit of oily fat, such as is often found in old hens. This, when cooked, separates from the meat, leaving it almost as tough as that of an old, thin I'qwl. A good fowl should have large, soft muscles with sufficient fat interlacing them to make them tender. Juicy and fine flavored. This not only makes them desirable for home use, but they will sell in good markets for a much higher price per pound. How to Select a Good Bird A good buyer of choice stock looks for a round, plump bird that was dry picked and not scalded, as the latter process tends to harden the skin and meat. Scalding also lessens the mar ket value, as it forces dirty water into the carcass, giving it a very undesir able appearance and takes out much of the sweet flavor. If the meat is soft and tender it will be possible easily to pinch with the thumb and forefinger entirely through the large muscle in the wing. This is a surer indication that the fowl Is ten der than is a soft breastbone. It often is found that old fowls, properly fat tened. are more desirable than younger oiies killed directly from the farm range where exercise toughens the muscles. Three Ways of Fattening The best way to fatten poultry is to restrict exercise and reed in one of three ways: Machine, crate or pen. While the machine method gives larger profits it is difficult to obtain the skilled labor necessary to handle this class of work, and it is not prac tical with small flocks. In machine feeding the operator inserts a rubber tube in the fowl's throat and presses a lever which fills the crop with a mix ture of meals and milk. Pen fattening is best for turkeys and is satisfactory with young broilers, but the most popular method is crate feeding. The crate is about two feet square and has a bottom of slats or one-half Inch mesh wire cloth. A coop of this size will hold six or eight mature birds or ten to twelve young ones. The coop should be located in a cool, shady place In hot weather and in a warm, comfortable room in cold weather. The fowls should be dusted thor oughly With a good lice powder, as birds Infected with lice will not fat ten well. Neither do chickens or fowls of low vitality fatten readily. Dice powder should not be used the last week before killing as it is liable to give a bad flavor to the flesh. Feed Sparingly at the Start Poultry should be starved twenty four to thirty-six hours before being given the fattening ration und should be fed sparingly the lirHt few days. The ration is increased gradually until they have all they will clean up in about fifteen to twenty minutes twice a day. The first feed Is given as early In the morning as they can see to cat, and the last as late at night as they can see to clean up the feed in good shape. Feedings should be at the same hours each day, as Irregular feeding lessens the appetite. If the birds have more for a meal or two than they can digest, they lose appe tite and lose weight. Care should be taken to keep up a good appetite. A good ration consists of three pounds of cornmeal, three pounds of buckwheat with the hulls removed, three pounds of low grade wheat flour or good white wheat middlings, and a small quantity of charcoal. These are mixed with sour skim milk or but termilk (the latter preferred) to the consistency of batter, allowed to stand in a warm place and sour twelve hours before feeding. One quart of milk usually is sufficient for one and a half pounds of feed. Where milk can not be obtained one-fourth to one-third of the ration could consist of good meat scraps, although this will not give as profitable results as the skim milk or buttermilk. Young broilers should have, in addi tion to the above, a small feeding at noon of cracked corn and wheat as they are otherwise more liable to go "off their feed." Whole Corn Not the Best Feed Many farmers think that as corn contains a larger percentage of fat than any other grain. It can be fed profitably as an Exclusive fattening feed. At the Pennsylvania State Ex periment Station fowls fed on shelled corn exclusively gained in three weeks less than one-lifth of a pound each at u cost for feed of from 30 to 0 0 cents per pound of gain, while similar birds. ' led cornmeal, mixed with buttermilk , gained one-half pound each, showing i that in the case of the whole grain too I much energy is wasted in grinding it. A ration of several finely ground gniins, mixed with buttermilk gave the best results and produced a gain at a cost of seven cents for each pound gained. Cost of Gain Under 8 Cents n Pound In 1911 fattening experiments were carried on at four of the government experiment stations with nearly 395,- 000 fowls and the results were pub lished by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, at Washington, D. C., in Bulletin No. 21, which can be obtained through your congressman or by writing directly to the Depart ment of Agriculture. In these experi ments various rations were fed and the fowls averaged 3.89 pounds of feed for each pound of gain in weight, the feed costing 7.71 cents. The great est gain was made early in the season, while in November and December the average cost per pound gain was from 9.8 to 11.6 cents. The rations giving the best results were No. 1, consisting of three parts cornmeal, two parts of low grade wheat flour and one part of shortu 1 Warms the Bedroom in a Jiffy a It's no fun to crawl out of your warm bed and have to ■ dress in a cold room while your teeth chatter and chills ■ run up and down your spine.

When poultry fattened with sour milk or buttermilk is shipped to mar ket it should be thoroughly chilled to remove all the animal heat, and be packed in neat packages marked "Milk fed" in order to bring the extra price paid for this class of goods. The larger breeds are preferred by the commercial fattening establishments, yet the smaller breeds respond readily to this type of fattening.
