40 Cents a Pound
MRS. FARMER AND MISS FARMER: For three years Joseph Mette
conducted a campaign in Northern Mississippi and Western Tennessee
to get the mothers and daughters on the farms to set every hen that gets
broody in August, September, October and November. This was done on hun
dreds of farms, and brought the women folks thousands of dollars just when
they wanted the money. Every woman and girl, who has had success growing
spring chickens tn Arkansas, should try this plan.
The cockerels are sold as soon as they will weigh two pounds each. Inpt
Thanksgiving several caityads were sold that brought 40 cents a poun«55()
cents a chloken to the women and girls who raised them. The good pnllete
are kept, and lay in March and April, when the old hens are hatching and
raising chicks.
Set every hen that gets broody from August until the last of November.
This is the time when the hens are moulting. A hen can hatch and raise a
brood while she is moulting, and when she has finished the job, will be ready
to begin her winter laying.
Three things are necessary to make profit from summer and fall hatch
ing. The hen and chicks must be kept free from lice and, mites; they must
have fresh, clean water before them, and they must have good shade. Feed
tha<. v ill make a pig gain one pound will make a growing chick gain a pound.
A pound of chicken brings the most money.
Clean and disinfect the nests, roosts, and all parts of the hen Jiouse with
coal oil until there are no mites left.
Dust each hen thoroughly with lice powder before you set her, and once
every week until she hatches, and the hen and chicks once a week until the
chicks are weaned.
Get a new box for a nest. Put two inches of dirt in the bottom of it} and
arrange straw over the dirt to make a nest.
Put the pen with fresh hatched chicks in a coop close to a corn field or
other good shade. Keep the hen in the coop; let the chickens run only when
the grass is dry. Keep them up when dewr or rain makes the grass damp.
KEEP FRESH, CLEAN WATER W'HERE HEN AND CHICKS CAN
DRINK EVERY THIRTY MINUTES FROM DAYLIGHT TO DARK.
If you have failed to raise chickens in the spring, do not try fall hatching.
If you made a success of spring chickens,*go in heavy on fall hatching.
