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-

sells the-best 11
dustry. 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.

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

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

of the morning hour of worship.

that Dr. Lovett, the presiding eld
