Finishing Cockerels
For Market
(Experimental Farms Note)
Cockerels intended for market
should be carefully. fattened, The
above statement is based upon two
very important tonsiderations: first,
that cockerels put on weight 1110re
rapidly cud econemically dut•irg
fattening than when left on range,
and second, that fattened cockerels
have a greater marlwt value becaaee
of their improved quality.
9.`wo methods of finiehing are enm-
manly used: pen fwetening and erat:t
rattening. Provided crate feeding is
Pronerly done, better results will
be obtained by this method than eau
be expected with pen feeding, In
