PAGE SIX WISCONSIN GROWER NMHffILS Modem Methods Are Employ ed To Increase Egg Produc tion Os Hens BURLINGTON, Wis., April 17.-- C. W. Hocking, who lives near here, operates the largest poultry farm in the entire state. It is of some in terest to know that Mr. Hocking re gards himself as having been pushed into the poultry business —just a bit, perhaps, against his will. For many years he had operated a summer hotel and his chicken dinners proved Bo popular that the surrounding countryside was unable to meet the demands of Mr. Hocking for poultry. This fact turned his attention to the raising of enough fowls to keep pace with the growing floood of hungry folks which descended upon him each week-end. As the flood continued to rise his operations ex tended. The basement cf his hotel now houses a 40,000-egg incubator, and it is filled three times each spring to meet the demands for chickens. Mr. Hocking culls his young birds carefully, and some 3,000 of them survive the summer to be carried through the winter in his extensive laying house. This structure, is di vided into ten sections, and he aims to carry about 300 fowls in ' each section. Nothing but white leghorns are raised. For the most part the eggsX are shipped to a high class jrads consisting of hotels, dining car Companies, and other users of quantities. Mr. Hocking was one of the pio neerS in the use of electric lights in his laying houses. For long periods he operated his lights by different, niethfeds. Careful records were kept as t<£results. His experiments con to pbrmlLthe fowls to go to rtrost in wfhter at their usual time follow ing * warm mash feed. After they havdfequieted down grain is distribut ed i£t6eiitter. The lights conic on automatically at 3 a. Si. and from then until dark his laying house is a “bee-hive” of in- I‘OH YOU LINENS” “ Thoroughly Shrunk 89c I A f.

He states that under this method some 70 per cent of the eggs are laid before 8 o’clock in morning—a fact which permits him to ship large quantities of them at least 24 hour ahead of what other wise would be the case. Few, indeed, are the things about the handling of chickens tiiat Mr. Hocking does not understand. He ‘states that he exploded long ago the ieda that a hen van ia:y but one egg a day. This, he ad mits. is the limit for most of them, but he has singled out breeding stock which present him with two eggs now and then. These birds are confined in quarters that keep out all intruders. Consequently, he is willing to take oath on a stack ■of Bibles that the twoe.gg-a-day hen is no myth. Mr. Hocking was for years the “champion chicken dresser of the world” and his ap pearance at poultry shows all over the country was an annual occur rence. DR.

Both services at Plains last Sun day were unusually well attended, much to the delight of the pastor. The house was practically full at night, when the Baptists and Luther ans worshipped with the Methodist A fine spirit was manifested at this service that will no doubt bring the denominations into a closer fel lowship that will mean much for the cause of Christ. The sacrament of the Lord’s Supper was adminis tered to a large number at tne close of the morning hour of worship.
