The Hen For Dividends
NEW SHORT STORIES
TO THE
PUBLIC
FROM DR. A. B. HINKLE,
of MACON, GEORGIA.
I respectfully invite the public to visit ine in my new
quarters at No. 362 Second street.
I have just completed a handsome building and fitted it
up with large and commodious offices, equipped with the
latest and most scientific instruments and appliances known
to the professon and needed to make a doctor's office com
plete in all its various apartments. I take pleasure in in
forming the public and particularly those in need of medi
cal .assistance for such diseases as local physicians have not
been able to treat here on account of the instruments and
appliances requisite, thereby causing such patients to drift
to northern cities at heavy expense to themselves; that they
can now receive such treatment here at home thus causing
a big saving in the doctor’s bill.

In proportion to her lire, her cost and
her keep, the hen is the best divided pay.
er on the farm. There Is no question of
this. 8he will lay her value In eggs In
half a year, and she Is good for two or
three years. This Is true of the individual
hen, and the farm flock Is composed of
Just such Individual hens. On some farms
they are entirely too few In numbers to
make their value apparent. On most
farms they are too few, and too neglected
to be appreciated as they should be. Still,
their Individual value is there, and It only
needs an Increase In the flock—a division
and a subdivision, to multiply these units
of value, so as to make them of much
Importance to their keeper.
Ordinarily the farm flock Is one. and
Its size is regulated very largely by the
survival of the hardiest. Many perish by
the wayside, and many are consumed In
the growing. It Is Just one bunch of
chickens about the yard, the horse lot,
anil the back door. There Is no systema
tized division, especial housing, or care,
and so there Is no striking Illustration of
the value of the Individual hen. One of
the flock may die from accident, or vlo
lence, and lie unhurled In the weeds until
It festers, nr.d becomes Infested with
maggots, snd withal a source of poison to
the other birds of the flock, and thus
starts the dreaded limber-neck, resulting
In a logs of one-half or more of all the
poultry on the place. This Is only too
often the case. This comes of lack of
supervision and of neglect.
Now, there are Just two ways possible
In which to Increase the firm holding of
chickens, and lift them and their products
up to a point where the revenue from
them will he so strikingly great and valu.
able that they will be held In the egteem
and consideration that they should he.
The first, and most satisfactory, way Is
by fencing, so that more than one flock
may he raised anil maintained on the
farm. This ran lie done on a suitable spot
on the premises, where a squire may be I
selected, containing four or flvft acres. I

ty-flve hc-ns are as many as should b«
aligned to a yard, and If more hens are
wanted In the scheme, the yards and
houses should be multiplied accordingly;
but the limit should be twenty-five hens
to a flock.
Now, If this la too much expense to be
Incurred, then try the colony plan, and
atart two or three separate sections on
the farm where the hens may be protect
ed and colonized In flocks of twenty-five.
Let each flock be fed and watered In Its
own local range, ho that there may be
complete division In this way. A good
game cock, to head each colonized flock.
Is one of the best guarantees of Individu
ality of the flock, for g.ime cocks wJU
protect their respective harems, and not
allow any mixing up. This system la
possible, but not so convenient a« the
other. Hens divided In this way, and
comfortably housed, with their feed
thrown to them In Utter to scratch for.
should lay profitably all winter.
In raising chickens for the market,
either system Is valuable, for it Insures
division, and increased numbers that will
thrive and mature. Three or four hons
with their broods, In one of the ranges
suggested, would do finely and raise quite
all their young. It will not do to let them
mix up. and heroine one straggling mob
as the season advances. They must be
kept In small flocks, and Just as soon as
the young roosters are old enough to
measure up to the frying pan, they should
bo sold.
This Is the way to solve the problem
of “more chickens and better chickens”
on the farm, and n source of revenue that
will command the attention and Invoke
the Interest and supervision of the best
heads and hands on the place. If there Is
division there may. and will be. Increased
numbers, and Increased profits In the
Interest In the satisfying of their eg.'
customers but of the Importance of
maintaining the health of their own fam
