ABOUT CONSTRUCTING THE CRATES AND FEEDING, Department of Agriculture Says It is a Profitable Business, The crate fattening of chickens le a profitable business for almost• every farmer to engago in. It is a simple undertaking that can be mal.uaged by a member of the farmer's family who is suflleiently interested and enter- prising to study the work and con- struct the fattening crates, No special building is required in which to place the crates. Grain on hand, With tin exception of corn or peas, when finely ground and mixed with skimutilk or buttermilk, is fed with profit to the chickens. 11 it is neces- sary to .buy grain, fine ground oats is preferable. The cost of the food for fattening averages ten cents per chicken. It is advisable to produce chickens with white -colored flesh, as white -colored fieslr is more palatable than yellow flesh; it is firm, fine in grain and exceedingly tender. There are fat globules distributed through- out the ]nosh and under the skin. When the chicken is cocked, the par- ticles of fat melt and increase the juiciness of the flesh. With uufatted chickens, water takes the place of the majority of the fat globules. When the chicken is roasted the water evaporates and leaves the meat dry. The muscles of the crate fatted chicken aro more edible through lack of exercise. To kill a lean chicken is wasteful. The pro- portion of edible meat to bond and offal is so small. ALL B1USI,.DS OF CHICKENS, with the exceptions of Leghorns, Minorcas and similar small chickens, can be fatted in the crates with profit. Fatted chickens can be mark- eted in Canada and Great Britain for ten to sixteen cents per pound, plucked weight. A great number of farmers have engaged in the fattening business and are preparing their chickens for the ionto markets or for export. The following letter was received by the Department last week, showing the satisfactory re- sults of the first year's chickens business and tho encouragement of- fered to engage in it more extensive- ly: "Las't year I experimented on a small scale with crate -fed chickens, and the result was so satisfactory that this year I am going to pre- pare all my fowls in that manner. I should like you to send me the names of some reliable dealers its Ottawa or MIontreal to whom I can ship the fatted chickens when ready," Mfr, F. C. Bare, Chief of the Do- minion Poultry Division in this ar- ticle will give directions for con- struction of the fattening crates and feeding the chickens. A subsequent article will contain information about killing and marketing the chickens. The fattening crates in use at the Illustration Stations are six feet long, sixteen inches wide and twenty inches high, inside measurements. Each crate is divid- ed into three compartments. Each compartment holds tour' chickens. A frame is built of one inch by two inch lumber and covered with slats. The slats are placed lengthwise on three sides -bottom, back and top - and upand downfront, n inf o t. rho slats are ane inch wide and half an inch thick. The spaces between the slats in front are two inches wide to enable the chickens to FEED) FROM THE TROUGH. The bottom, back and top slats are one and a half inches apart, Tho tap slats are cut above each parti- tion and three doors are formed. The doors ere hinged to the rear of ilea frame, The crates aro placed on stands sixteen inches from the ground, A Light "V" feed trough, two and a half inches inside, is placed in front of each crate and is carried on brackets nailed an the ends of the crate. 11 only a small number of chickens al'e to be fatted, packing boxes can be adapted for the purpose. The open top of the box should become the bottom of the crate and one side shodd be removed for the front. Slats should be nailed up stud down On front; also lengthways of the crate to form the floor. A board should he loosened in the top of the crate to remove the chickens, and a feed trough arranged in front, Dur- ing the fall the crates ern be plac- ed outdoor in a, shilltored posito) or its a ,vacant shed or barn. Plymouth Rocks, VVyandottes, or chickens of a sim,ibtr type weighing ram two and a half to fou' pounds ael are preferable for fattening, hickens of medium size and of road. square shape, with short, i.raight legs set well apart, fatten the most profitably, A suitable fattening ration is 0110 that is pnlotable and that will pro- duce a white -colored flesh.

A Brantford despatch says: Balf- submerged 1n the soggy grass of a thick bush of willows just south o1' the Toronto, Ilamilton and Brantford Station, with face deathly white and limbs and body bespattered with blood, the dead body 0f little Irene Colo was found by a party of search- ers shortly after 7 o'clock o1 Wed- nesday night. Every indication points to assault and murder resemb- ling in many details the Glory Wha- len crime at Coliingwood, which is still fresh in the memory of readers throughout the country, Not since the days of the Quirk murder, which still remains a mystery, has such ex- citement prevailed in this city. The body when found plainly bore marks of a horrible assault, The clothes were badly torn, and the form was a mass of bruises. To acid horror to the whole story it was 'the victim's own father who found her. Going along the trail and fol- lowing the narrow path his eyes fell upon the dead form of his daughter, whose deathly features were plainly visible in the glimmering moonlight. Paralyzed 'by the sudden shock the father fell back into the arms of his companions. Tho section where the crime was COlmnitted has long been the nesting place of the toughest characters of Brantford, and the headquarters of tramps who visit the city. There have been innumerable brawls there, and the police have been called to the place repeatedly, but it has nev- er been properly cleared up. It cov- ers a largo area, and there is no- thing there .but a rank growth of grass and bushes. It is an ideal hiding place for tramps, and nothing loss than a company of constables could patrol it thoroughly. In 01 slimmer there is never a night Me that it is infested with hoboes, to such an extent that it is not even safe for a person to go near the lo- cality. The victim of this outrage was enticed to the place, and the perpetrator of the crime must have been entirely aware of the loneliness of the surroundings. It is suspected that a tramp is guilty of the murder, but there is nothing so far as known to show this, the suspicion aroused by reason of the fact that the place is Infested by members of the fra- ternity. AN ARREST MA'IIIS. Slowly but surely a chain of cir- cumstantial evidence is being welded around J oseph Kennedy, a young Irishman, who was arrested at :1 o'clock ou Thursday morning, which points unerringly to him, as the mur- derer of little Irene Cole in "The Willows," near Eagle Place, on Wed- nesday afternoon. Kennedy was positively identified by the Potter children, .Alberta, aged 12, and Gordon, aged 14, as the duan they saw loitering on the dyke above "The Willows," near the Cole homestead, about 12.30 o1 Wed- nesday. Little Irene left her home about 1 o'clock. Kennedy was seen returning from "Tho Willows" at 4 o'clothc in the afternoon by Bruce Durward and Jesse Willoughby. That evening the mutilated remains of the innocent child were discovered in a ldnoly spot in the swamp by a searching party, headed by tho mur- dered girl's father. Kennedy was discovered on Thurs- day morning in the hayloft in the rear of Hunt• and Cotter's livery stable, lie expressed 110 surprise when placed under arrest, evinced no curiosity as to why 110 was being taken into custody, and asked no questions of the officers as to the reason for his detention, Through- out he carried himself with an air of bravado, On the arrival at the police Station he submitted to a Inuit rigorous examination, conduc- ted 0y ;Ur, Ashton, made nu demur when divested of his wearing apparel and other clothes given his), In fact, his bearing was that of a man devoid of interest in the proceedings.
