Homer Countrlcs’ Fowl {or the Table is Stimulating Poultry Producing Farm- ers of the Domlnlon. The very rapid development of the poultry-fattening business in Canada has, of necessity, directed attention to the methods of poultry raisers in other countries where high prices are .recei\'ed\tnd the business made a success. ' One of these countries is Belgium, .nnd the succulcnce of the Brussels “chicks” has so widespread a repu- tation that a consideration of the means by which its excellent. table qualities are produced cannot fail to be of interest to Canadian farmâ€" ers. The following from one of our English exchanges gives a good acâ€" count of the methods adopted, the special point to notice being the emâ€" phasis laid upon cleanliness and sanitary conditions in connection With the treatment of the eggs and the setting hen: "The excellence of this fowl seems to depend, as far as can be ascer- tained, on the careful manner in .which the setting hen is treated, the foleanliness observed about her, as Well as the careful feeding of the .Ivoung chickens until sufficiently de- Vcloped for eating purposes. “The "choice of eggs for setting is regarded as a matter of import- once, and the freshest obtainable are invariably used. The best breeders seldom, use eggs older than eight days. “Care is taken that the eggs gIVen to one hen should be of the same age. The eggs when collected are kept at a very even temperature un- til given to the hen, and are turned daily. The object of this is to preâ€" vent the yolk, which is lighter than the white of the egg, from adhering to the top of the shell. The eggs selected are of an average size, those above the medium being rejectâ€" ed. as they often contain double yolks. Eggs received from a. dis« tance, and consequently exposed to more or less shaking, are allowed to "stand a day or two before being put under the hen. Great care is also taken that the eggs should be per- fectly clean. “The nest is prepared of straw or cut hay, and must be scrupulously clean, dry and odorless. The setting "hens are located in corners Where the greatest quiet is obtainable, and are not exposed to strong light. When so located they are not disturbed for any other purpose than the placing before them of their daily supply of food and water. As the hen leaves her nest at least once a day to search for food, to take exercise, -.etc., care is taken to put her food _ and water within reach of the nest, in order that the time that she is of! . 42.110 eggs may be materially shorten- -.ed. “It is customary, in Belgium, to ', .mix with the food given to chicks, eggs, milk, the blood of earthworms, field worms, and that of a common variety of fish; also to introduce, for t the formation of bone, certain quarr- tities of phosphate of lime found in grain and flour. In the early days flour is given on account of the ease with which it is digested, grain be- ing substituted as the birds get old- -er. Wheat flour is generally used. The grain given is wheat, rice, mil- let; buckwheat, and corn, raw or cooked. Cooked potatoes are also often given as a change of diet. “The grain diet is varied as much as possible, and frequently adminis tered mixed. The food ordinarily em- ployed is made up as follOWS: Hardâ€" boiled eggs and wheat flour are mix- ed in milk, a. little water being add~ _ :ed. To this paste is added a small onion finely cut up, together with lettuce when other green food is scarce. 'The mixture is usually quite stiff, as moist food is considered harmful for the young brood. After I the first few days a small quantity 'of whole grain is mixed into the paste, but if rapid development is desired the simple paste should be continued alone. The daily ration of grain for the fowls is' from 2% to 3 ounces. As a rule the birds are con- fined on wet days and allowed. as much exercise as they Wish in fine“ :sunny weather. “Birds thus treated find a ready sale, a younngrusscls chicken Which we would consider about the size sufâ€" ficient to make a meal for two per- sons being sold for 4s. 6d. ($1.08) about double the price a fowl reared 'in the ordinary manner would fetch iin the same market." . I Yearling Poland-China Sow.
