THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
Arguments for the Guernsey Cow. 
(Continued from page 173.) 
vance Registry of Guernseys consists of 
1,112 cows with an average of 8,051.20 
pounds milk, 409.75 pounds fat; average 
fat 5.121. In the great Iowa dairy cow 
contest the cow Dairymaid of Pine- 
hurst won the honors for the best pro¬ 
ducing cow of any breed, making as a 
three-year-old 14,562 pounds milk and 
860.26 pounds butter fat. In the Wis¬ 
consin cow contest the three-year-old 
Guernsey Matinee Girl won first honors 
for the month of October, having to 
her credit 68.041 pounds fat. At the 
Pan-American model breed test, the only 
test ever held of its kind where all 
breeds were represented, the Guernsey 
herd showed the greatest net profit in 
production of butter fat and churned 
butter. The Guernsey cow Mary Mar- 
range. Our brooder houses are in a 
seven-acre orchard. After they go on 
free range they are put on hopper and 
are hopper-fed until they are put in 
the henhouse in the latter part of Oc¬ 
tober. The roosters which we do not 
want to sell for breeders are put on the 
commission markets when they weigh a 
pound or a pound and a half. 
The pullets are housed about October 
20 in our long laying house, which has 
23 rooms 15 feet square. The floors 
are covered with straw eight or 10 
inches deep. There is a droppings board 
under' the roosts which is cleaned once 
per week, and the floors once about 
every six weeks in the Winter and not 
so often in the Summer. 
Our methods of feeding the laying 
stock are the following: One quart of 
wheat to 50 hens in the morning scat¬ 
tered in the litter, the same amount of

shall made the greatest profit of any 
cow of any breed in production of but¬ 
ter fat and churned butter. When I 
look back and see the advancement that 
has been made in the past few years, 
and the steady demand we have for this 
particular breed, I look for a great fu¬ 
ture. Every farmer who will use a good 
purebred bull to grade up his herd will 
never regret it. In conclusion I want 
to state that I would not advise anyone 
to get purebred cattle before he knows 
how to take care of them properly. Be¬ 
gin by grading up your herd, and I will 
guarantee that you never got as much 
enjoyment out of any one thing as to 
see the wonderful improvement you can 
make in your native cows, after which it 
is all right that a man should get a few 
females. chas. h. drissen.

THAT WEST VIRGINIA POULTRY PLANT. 
On the first page Mr. Angevine tells us 
about the Willow Wall Poultry Farm. This 
is a peculiar plant in many respects, and 
we asked Mr. McNeill for a few more de¬ 
tails. lie gives them in the following ar¬ 
ticle. 
We started into the poultry business 
in 1905 with 220 eggs from C. H. 
Wyckoff, and raised 30 pullets from 
these, and there we laid the foundation 
of our own line-bred strain. We have 
built up from year to year until we have 
been wintering the last few Winters 
1600 to 1700 hens. We start our in¬ 
cubators the 10th of March. We have 
a machine with a combined capacity of 
3,000 eggs. This gives us our first 
batch on the first of April and the sec¬ 
ond the 25th. This gives us our chick¬ 
ens early, and we can get them to laying 
early in the Fall. After our chicks are 
hatched they are put in brooders of our 
own make three feet square, which are 
put in brooder houses 6x6 feet, five feet 
high in front and three feet high in the 
back. The brooders are covered with 
oat straw chaff (wheat chaff not being 
used on account of the beards getting 
in the chicks' eyes). The brooders are 
heated with a kerosene lamp to a tem¬ 
perature of 90 to 100 degrees, and each 
brooder is supplied with a pan of fine 
grit, which is their first meal, and noth¬ 
ing else is given until the following day, 
when bread crumbs and water are given. 
They are fed exclusively on bread 
crumbs until they get to eating well, that 
is for four or. five meals. The feed is 
then changed to chick food prepared by 
ourselves, which consists of 50% wheat, 
30% corn, 10% oatmeal, 8% beef scraps 
and 2% grit. They are fed five times 
per day until they are two weeks old, 
when they are fed only twice per day, 
the chick food being given only morn¬ 
ing and evening and sprouted oats at 
noon. They are confined in a small yard 
constructed of one-inch mesh wire two 
feet high until they begin to fly out, 
which is when they are three to four 
weeks old; they are then turned on free 
corn in the evening fed in like manner. 
We keep a ground mash before them 
all the time, which consists of corn, 
wheat and oats ground together pretty 
fine, the same amount of each being 
used. Beef scraps, charcoal, grit, oyster- 
shells and fresh pure water are kept 
constantly before them. Green food is 
fed at noon, such as sprouted oats, tur¬ 
nips with green tops, cabbage or any 
succulent food. Dampened Alfalfa is 
kept before them also. d. b. m'neiix.

ROOFING . 
It Needs No 
Painting !** 
E VERYTHING about Amatite ap¬ 
peals to the man with common 
sense. He can see its superiority 
at once—the real mineral surface 
which never needs painting; the two 
layers of Pitch which is the only 
imperishable waterproofing known; 
the two layers of heavy Tarred Felt 
—all these contribute to the pop¬ 
ularity of Amatite. 
We can make Amatite better and 
cheaper than anyone else on account 
of our greater facilities, and conse¬ 
quently we sell it at a surprisingly 
low figure. 
Simply the fact that it needs no 
painting is enough to make a man 
sit up and take notice—especially 
the man who has spent dollars and 
days in painting and repainting his 
smooth surfaced roofings.
