OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN
Why We Quarrelled
"T alnav* piny >rrnnil fiddle," aald my

Cpyrlght, 1915, by Star Company.
• I am almost ashamed to confess the
matter about which my husband and I
quarrel niost bitterly is our boys.
There are two of them —fine chaps
of fourteen and sixteen. I fancy that
if they were girls we would have fewer
disputes about them.
For. to be frank, my husband is, I
really believe. Jealous of our sons. I
mean he is jealous of my love for
them.
He would he furious were I to ac
cuse bin of Ibis. But it is neverthe
less true. 1 do not mean to Imply that
he is not fond of his boys, for he Is—
fond and proud of them, especially
when they do well at school. Perhaps
if they were girls the mail's sense of
chivalry would make him love them
better. Perhaps then I might'be .leal
mis of his love for them. Who knows?
But X do not think 1 would, for a moth
er loves a child better than a father
does.
1 made this statement to my hus
band once, and he resented It hotly.
"Just because 1 do not humor the
kids as outrageously as you do, you
think that 1 do not care for thein
as much as you do!" he declared. Well,
I do! But 1 do not think that they are
little tin gods! And now that we are
on this subject I will warn you that
.you are In danger of turning out Into
the world the worst spoiled pair of
chaps that ever came down the pike!"
'They are dear, devoted children,''
I protested. "They always do what I
ask them."
"Of course! Because you never ask
them anything they don't want to do.
And they adore you because you sac
rifice yourself, your own Inclinations,
even me. to please them."
A Hitter Accusation
I was shocked and Indignant. What
wife would not be at such language"
For his accusation was false. T 11m a
conscientious and loving wife, but my
boys need my guidance and companion
ship more than my husband does. When
they want me lo go anywhere with

to comply with their wishes.
1 knew that my husband was re

"No. thanks." he rejoined, f don't

"1 had planned." he said, "to have

"You could go if you want to," I re

"As often as you want to, you mean."
he retorted, "i do not need to be re

"Oh, Tom!" 1 exclaimed, tears rush

unkind! You know very well why I
go with them. If 1 don't keep them
close to me they may seek evil com

"And don't 1 need you?" he demand

"Not as they do. Your morals and

"Why not apeak the truth —that you

I bit back the hot words that sprang
fo my lips. In my mind the thought
was creeping—"Would it be any won

But I saM nothing, only went quiet

Labor-Saving Systems Solve
Problem of Profits With
Hens on Large Scale
Hatching and Handling of
Tens of Thousands of Birds
Made Easy
By (J. R. Smith
Author and Practical Poultryman
The small flock Is profitable. Tens
millions of small flocks of hens all
over the world are sufficient evidence
that they are paying propositions.
The question now Is, CAX THE BIG
FLOCK BF: MADE PROPORTION
ATELY PROFITABLE?
Tlic fanner's flock of fifty has ceased
to be thought of as a necessary nui
sance. It Is recognized as one of the
small but very relinblc sources of in
come. Yet the average farmer Is not
fully convinced of the posMlblllfy of
BIG BL'SIXKSS with flic IJITTIJE
Hen. He Is Interested but skeptical.
He is ready to be shown but Is con
servative.
It Is well to remember at tills point
that immense progress has been maile
in methods of poultry culture (luring
the lust few years. Wliat was alto
gether ini|>osslble, even at the opening
of the present century, lias become
easy of achievement now because of
tliese improved systems.
Improved processes of incubation
prove that the poultry industry is mov
ing: forward at an amazing pace in
its methods of operation—like every
other occupation—from making 1 pins
to carrying on a gigantic steel wroks.
The difficulty of getting the eggs
hatched in sufficient numbers lias
made large operations practically im
possible until quite recently. The
miracle-working machine has come to
(he front here as everywhere, and the
work is made easy.
By the use of modern incubating
machines thousands of chicks can now
be hatched at once where a few years
ngo only hundreds could be hatched.
One company advertises machines
with capacities from 1,200 to 20,100.
The manipulation o fthem is exceed
ing simple. Hot water heat is used.
A little coal fire at one end of the
long incubator heats the water for the
hatching of the tens of thousands of
eggs at, one setting.
In the process of hatching the eggs
must be turned every day. The ma
chinery has been so Ingeniously ad
justed that ten thousands eggs can be
turned in 30 seconds. Such a device
saves an enormous amount of labor
over the handturntng method. One

SILVER CAM PINES
Belgium. It has been the fowl gen
erally bred throughout the country
for centuries and is found there in
both sringlo and rose oomh varieties.
It was imported rrom Belgium to
England, where those ardent fan
ciers improved it both in color and
production, and from England it jour
neyed to America.
It is a fowl of the Mediterranean
type,small of bone and body, active
and nervous and a heavy layer; great
claims having been made for it in
this direction. For markets demand
ing white eggs, Campines furnish eggs
that command top prices.
The plumage is silver white, mark
ed by broad bands of glossy greenish
black. The, legs are blue and the skin
white, which are the only drawbacks
to its popularity in America.
Campines are handled the same as
They are of about the
same size and will stand confinement
equally well. *
man can In this way take care of the
hatching of a vast number of chicks.
Fifteen eggs are as many as a large
lien could cover, even in warm weath
er. It Is plain therefore, that a giant
hatching machine with a capacity of
10,000, is equal to more than 650 hens
all sitting at one time. This Is one
of the reasons why the poultry Indus
try is taking rank with the dairy busi
ness, fruit culture, or even with gen-
I eral farming, as a possible source of
| large profits. On one poultry farm 1
; saw an incubator cellar with a total
output capacity of 48,000 baby chicks
| every three weeks.
Brooding System
I Hatching is not the only trick to be
turned. Suppose the chicks by tens
i of thousands are out of the shells —
what then?
A short time ago I saw forty-flve
hundred newly hatched chicks taken
out of a 6,000-capacity incubator. How
can such a horde of fluffy tender
things be cared for?
The care of the young chicks has
been as serious a problem as the get
! ting of them. The "brooder stove"
makes this task comparatively easy.
These stoves are a modern inven
tion. They are built in different sizes
and with capacities ranging from 300
jto 1,500 each. Such are the listed
capacities of the stoves. Any one
will readily recognize, however, that
there is large risk in massing as many
as 1,500 chicks in one flock. It will
, be much safer and wiser for all except
'those who are expert in such work,
| to handle a much smaller number. As
; skill is developed the flocks may be
enlarged.
This colony brooder system bears
i the same relation to the raising of the i
chicks up to 10 weeks old that the l
great incubating process bears to the i
hatching of the chicks. With these
two modern improvements in poultry
culture it is plain that the possibili
ties of the business are multiplied 10
fold over what they were a few years
ago.
Suppose we take a brooder house
14x28 feet as a unit of operation. It
may be divided Into two rooms 14 feet
square. In one of these rooms a
brooder colony stove is placed in the
center. Seven or eight hundred new
ly hatched chicks may easily be cared
for here until three or four weeks old,
when they may be given the run of
both rooms. This is the most critical
period in the young chick's life. Get
the little tender things through the
fourth week in capital condition, and
you have them practically out of
the danger zone.
Modern brooding on a big scale,
therefore, is the second great step to
ward possibilities for big business in
poultry culture. A third is:
The Large laying Flock
A quarter of a century ago the
highest authorities allowed only fif
teen fowls in a flock. The average
floor space allotted to each laying hen
was not to be less than 10 square feet.
These conditions were insisted upon as
essential.
Steadily, however, as experiments
proceeded, the flocks were enlarged,
and the average floor space for each
fowl was reduced. At the present
time laying hens are kept in flocks of
from 100 to 1,500. On the largest
poultry farms where the aim is most
ly for the production of market eggs,
the number usually runs from 250 to
500 in each laying pen,
This large flock principle has been
found to work well in the hands of
skilled poultrymen. The danger
from disease is much greater where
many birds are massed together. But
the man who knows the vital import
ance of cleanliness, fresh air, and the
right kind of a balanced ration every
day In the year, will not be running
great risks. The labor-saving factor
here Is immense.
For example, I visited one big plant
where 500 layers are kept in each lay
ing house. One man was attending to
the feeding of seven of these flocks, or
a total of 3,500 fowls. IJad they
been divided into pons of 15 fowls
each, according to the old method, he
would have had 233 pens to visit at
each feeding.
Thus it may be seen that the wages
of several men are saved by this dis
covery of the large laying flock prin
ciple. Besides, the space required for
each fowl on the average is not mora
than one-third of what would be re
quired under the old system of from
12 to 15 hens in a pen. It is true,
a smaller percentage of eggs will be
produced under the extensive method
of operation than by the inextensiva
•system. But the loss sustained in this
way will be small In comparison with
the »ain in the saving of labor and
space.
Markets and High Prices
The great cities are constantly in
creasing their population. The large
towns are rapidly growing into cities.
The consumer Is multiplying in the
land much more rapidly than the pro
ducer. The rush from the rural dla

trlota to the city la still under full
drive —«o the experts tell us. The
millions of mouths in New York, Phil
adelphia, Chicago and a thousand oth
er centers of population must be fed,
and no article of diet is more attrac
tive or necessary than the product of
the poultry yard.
The "Chicken Dinner" will never be
surrendered so long ns there Is a sup
ply forthcoming. However much of
a luxury an egg is, it is at the same
time a necessity. Where is the house
wife that will cook without eggs! It
would be interesting to make an ex
hibit of the endless ways in which
the products of the poultry yards are
used in the thoroughly down-to-date
American kitchen. Winter and Sum
mer the demand is the same, absolute
ly inexhaustible. Prices vary im
mensely at different seasons; but the
cost of production and the bulk pro
duced also vary in like proportion.
Cold storage also, while it has
wrought havoc at times In the mar
kets, will more and more hjive a
steadying influence on the prices
through the year. at the
matter from any possible point of view
the prices and the markets for the
poultryman's products appear prac
tically certain to continue everything
that is desirable. During at least
half the year strictly fresh eggs com
mand readily from 40 to fiO cents a
dozen. The demand even at this price
is never supplied in any portion of the
northern United States.
During the 10 years from 1900 to
1910 the quantity of poultry in the
United States increased about 17 per
cent. At the same time the value per
head of all kinds of poultry greatly
increased. The number of eggs pro
