Vital Importance of Right
Feed to Start Poults,

lly flLEN WELLMAN
At this season of the year there
is probably no more Important
Item of consideration for the muni
who Intends to produce poultry ol
any kind than the proper care and
feuding of Ins breeding stock. A
sack of feed loday, properly used, j

The reason for this is that the Finances

embryo, are almost entirely the, These are collected for spe
modiiei. of Die molher lien's rallonJcial services given to individuals
here are, of course, the inherited
haracteristlcs, but even these art1
largely influenced hy the ration.
For we all know (hat regardless of j
how well bred a hen may ho. sht:
will not lay iiUO eggs without a
good ration.
Vitamin Lack Evident
Fx pertinents have proved, time
after time, that much of the grief I
encountered In starting chicks and 1
poults the first three weeks, is a
direct result of something lacking j
in the ration of the breeding stocK.
It may be only out; small factor, for
instance a slight deficiency of vita
min A or H. This deficiency may
not he even enough to cause any
noticeable symptom in the parent
stock, hut because the mother did
not have it, she could not "pass it
on" through Hie egg to her; off
spring. -
We know that hens may lay
heavily and healthy, yet these eggs
may fail entirely to hatch, or pro
duce chicks that will live only a
few days. The chick's sustenance
the first few, days comes from the
yolk it absorbs Just prior to hatch
ing. That volk must have :m nde-
Itiuate supply of vitamins A, l and
!(!, as well ns flavin and filtrate
factors, else the chick is going to
get off to u poor start, regard less
of what kind of feed it gets. Then.
too often, the feed manufacturer
gets the lilatue for making a poor
starling mash, when the trouble
was with the breeders ratio!
Experiment Cited
A good example of what we mean
is furnished by an experiment car
ried out at one of Hie most pi ogres-
ive experiment stations in the
oiin try. When hens were fed 175.
:tfn. 7on ami 1 loo nulls of vitamin
A per hen per day, chicks hatched
from their eggs lived 7, S. is and l;
lays respectively on a vitamin A
tel'icleut ration .This proved that
these hens stored tin? vitamin A in
the egg yolk, nod passed it on to
the chicks. Hail the chick ration
been udeipiate in vitamin A, chick
mortality would have been reduced
accordingly, hut those from the
low gioup would have grown sl;w-
ei, and probably many of them
would have died anyway. I
Let us repeat, then, that your1
uiiMt. important problem right, now i
is to supply your breeding flock I
wllh a ration that will put the j
spark of life In tho little fellows.
For on them rests your only j
chance of coming out with a profit i
at tl ud of this year l!':t!'.

Iiotectioii of the food supply of

,is the principal functions of the
state department of agriculture, ac-
ording to a copy of its biennial re-
port which was recently received
by this newspaper.
The booklet summarizes the ac-
tivities of the department during
(the two-year period heiore July 1.
ijcjs. It emphasizes the fact that
agriculture is the principal basic
and groups. Revenues from these
self-sustaining activities came up
to S5 ID.27y.G9 in the two-year
period,
Funds appropriated by the state
legislature for Hie same period
animated to $185,157.20, the re
port shows. This paid for indemni
ties to farmers, for services lor
which no fees were collected, and
for administrative expenses.
The report states that the con
tinued whole-hearted cooperation
of all state agricultural agencies is
necessary, and a trend toward a
uniformity in the farm laws of the
western states is seen. This is ex
pected to he beneficial to the farm
er, since if would do away with

Timely Topics

most important topic for ronsid
erntion for the averaun Motigbi-:
county fanner is cither Sheep
(..nbrs or lireeder's Mash, or both.
The winter has been colder
than some we have had, and grass
hasn't grown as lush as com
mon. Mo.-t sheep over the coun
try are looking fairly w ell. Hut
many flock.-; which are receiving
I'm po.ua Sheep C'ulws are out
standing over tbe average.
This excellent feed sells for
-.". "it per ton. way below grain.
Yet it is superior in many re
spects to gj:iin tr invf'?. Makes
mote milk, better woo! and much,
much better lambs.
We talked to two sheep men
one day last week. One said he
had io hand miik a ewe because
the lamb couldn't take all . the
milk. The other had lust a pair
of twin lambs bet .i use the r e

And now. just a word on
lireeder's .Mash. .Just read an ar
ticle from Oregon State Experi
ment Station, recommending the
feeding of some good breeder
mash at least tdx weeks before
setting eggs.
We noticed last year that the
growers who used rnijiqita
lireeder's Mash, and followed
with t'mpipta Chick Startur, or
Umpqua Turkey Starter, were out
in the lead all reason, rmpqua
lireeder's Mash just puts tbe
spark into the egg that touches
off a rapid, steady and continu
ous growth from hatching to ma
turity. Personal Touches
Joe Pay ne has about a thou
sand IU'd chicks out there, doing
nicely, lu fact, most of the fcl
lows who fed breeder's Mash tc
their hens tell tho same story.
I'y the way. did we tell you the
price of lireeder's Mash? $2. 3' a
sack, and that w ill pay you bigger
dividends than any ?-.; you ever
spent.
Siemcrs .S; Cunningham of
(ilendale have a nice start ol
baby chicks, and expect to in
crease up to 1'1'mi layers by next
fall. They chose Khode Island
Keds.
We have been selling I mpqu;
Chick Starter all winter. It has
everything the chick needs, in
cluding LIVKU MKAL. and the
price is rii:ht, as always at "Tbe
Mill."
Claude Church. Camas Valley.
has three hnwds of chicks grow
ing now. Jlatehiim ihem himself,
and doing a fine job.
One of the big surprises of the
past year is the way our custo
mers have taken hold of "Semi
solid Hunermilk." It lias a way ot
boosting growth on yoime stock.

The capon business looks encour
aging, and we wonder why more
are not raised.
Wp notice lots of cows around
the country that we feel sure
would give more milk, and look
lots better If they had a good
bait of Milk Maker, or Sunrise

you can' afford not to feed it.
Keep them milking till gi ass
