OREGON CITY COURIER FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1909 3 Making Money On the Farm XII. -Poultry Manage ment By C. V. GREGORY. Author of "Homo Course In Modern Agriculture" Copyright 1509. by American Pre.. Aa.oci.tion. GOOD blood counts In poultry ns well as In nny utlnr ( Li.ss of live stock. If tin- clihUcns and cgga are iiroiluccil for market purposes only they may lu Im proved by purchasing pure bred males of the desired breed every year. At best, however, the flock can only bo made high grade by this method. The enterprising poultrynian will soon be gin to long for n flock of pure breds. Such a flock, If carefully selected aud bred, furnishes a splendid source of In come that Is largely Independent of the market price of eggs or dressed poultry, The demand for choice pure bred egizs for setting and for pure bred males Is good and the price very satisfactory. A trade of this kind when once established will add con siderably to the income from the farm. Getting Start In Pure Breds. Even where the flock is kept for market purposes only it pays to have pure breds. They look better and give more economical returns for the food eaten. The cheapest way to get a start in pure breds is to buy a sitting or two of eggs. It Is of utmost impor tance that they be purchased of some reliable breeder; otherwise disappoint ment Is almost sure to follow. In sist that the eggs be not more than five days old when shipped, that they be well wrapped and that the basket be sealed. Have the eggs shipped by FIQ. XXIII -CORNER IN POULTRY YARD. express and refuse to accept them if the seals have been tampered with. These precautions are necessary. 1 you would be sure of getting what you pay for. A basket with a handle is the best package for shipping eggs, as it will be carried instead of thrown. It has been found by repeated exper iments that eggs hatched with an in cubator do not produce chicks with as much vitality as those hatched uuder hens. This is not very noticeable the first season, but if continued year after year will seriously impair the vitality of the flock. It is a general practice among successful poultrymen to set a few of the best eggs under bens and use the chickens thus ob tained to replenish the breeding flock. Value of a Breeding Pen. The plan of having a breeding pen from which to select eggs for batching is a very good one. In this pen a doz en or thirteen of the best bens in the flock are kept. If trap nest records have been kept this will determine to a large extent which hens are to be put into the breeding pen. With the meat breeds the size and conformation of the hens are the most important points. For a breeding pen of thirteen bens one male Is all that is necessary, but lie should be the best that can be seemed. Some breeders practice keep ing two males, putting one In with the hens one day and the other the next In this way the males are kept in a better condition, and the chickens are likely to be a little stronger. No roost ers will be needed in the general flock. Indeed, the eggs will keep all the bet ter for not being fertilized. The care and feed of the breeding flock should be much the same as those outlined for laying hens in article No. 11. The main thing Is to keep them healthy. Do not overfeed, but keep them In vigorous condition. If possi ble the breeding pen should be large enough so as to include a little green feed, such as clover or rape. If this cannot be done a little forage cut and put in the pen every day will be rel ished. The sitting hens should have a small house or compartment to them selves. This will avoid the great an noyance of having nests broken up and fresh eggs laid in with those al most ready to hatch. This house should be provided with charcoal, grit and oyster shells. A dust bath in which the hens can roll will help to keep them free from lice. Oats, wheat and some sort of green food make a good ration. When very expensive eggs are set It is best to keep each hen In a compartment by herself, as there will be less risk of having the nest broken up. Soon after toe chick ens are hatched they can be marked by punching a hole through the web of the toe, so that they can be picked out from the rest of the flock in the fall. Selecting the Incubator. Although Incubators are not well Adapted to raising chickens for the breeding flock, they are indispensable to the poultry man who. is raising fowls for market. They are more reliable and more easily ared for than heus. They are ready to go to work at any time, bo that early chickens can be raised to make your baby strong: well.

AUDrutfaists In much larger nuinbers than with hens. The broody hens tan be broken up aud will soon go to laying again. Not the least among the advantages of the Incubator is the fact that the chicks will be free from lice when hatched. There are two general types of incu bators, the hot air aud the hot water machines. The heat in the hot air machine is furnished by currents of warm air which circulate around the egg chamber and In the hot water ma chine by hot water circulating through metal pipes. The hot air machine is simpler and generally gives better sat isfaction. The two most important points to consider in buying an Incubator are the lamp and the regulator, since upon the efficiency of these depends the maintenance of a constant tempera ture in the egg chamber. The lamp and chimney should be of heavy metal. The reservoir should hold enough oil for twenty-eight to thirty hours' run. The burner should be of brass, with a cotton wick which fits snugly and yet works easily. It is Important to use the highest grade of oil that can be obtained, as a steady heat cannot be maintained with cheap oil. The function of the regulator Is to raise or lower a valve over the lamp, thus lessening or Increasing the amount of hot air that goes Into the machine. Of nil the many kinds of regulators none works more satisfactorily than the double disk type. The disks should be four or five inches across. If smaller they are not sensitive enough. The regulator should be placed toward the back part of the egg chamber and high caough so that it will be well up out of the way. Avoid Incubators that have the regulator lever on top of the machine. Such a lever Is always in the way and is liable to be bent or displaced. A machine that has the lever at the end or under a false top is much more satisfactory. There is nothing in the way on top, and it can be used" as a table for testing, turn ing and cooling eggs. The body of the Incubator shotild be made of well fitted hard wood, with three walls and two dead air spaces, so as to be as little affected by the outside temperature as possible. The legs should be strong and firmly at tached. The doors should be of double glass. The egg trays should slide easily, and there should be at least three and a half Inches clearance be tween the eggs and the top of the chamber. The nursery below the trays should be at least four inches deep. This lower space is needed for the newly hatched chicks. This nursery is sometimes made to slide out like a drawer. This is a great convenience in removing the chickens. A small hole covered with a remova ble slide will provide all the ventila tion needed in addition to that obtain ed when the doors are open for turn ing the eggs. A wet sponge kept un der the egg trays will usually furnish sufficient moisture. The' amount of moisture needed can be determined by the size of the air cell in the big end of the egg. If this gets to be more than one-fifth the size of the egg more moisture should be supplied. Handling the Incubator. There Is no better place for the In cubator than a clean, dry cellar. It should be run empty for at least a day before the eggs are put in, so as to get fhe flame and regulator adjust ed. The flame should be clean and bright and the regulator set so as to maintain a constant temperature of 100 P. It takes a day or two to get the eggs warmed up after they are put in. By the third day the thermometer should be up to 103 aud should be kept there the rest of the time. The eggs should be tested the third day and infected or dead ones taken out. The eggs should be turned every morning until the nineteenth day. This can be done by roiling tuem over with the nana or placing another tray over them and turning them completely over. After turning they should be left out ten or fifteen minutes to cool. After the nine- -INTEltlOR GOOD HOUSE. BROODER teenth day the Incubator should be kept closed until the hatch is about completed. The chickens Bhould be left in thi incubator for twenty-four hours or longer after hatching. After that they may be given to broody hens that have been saved up for that purpose or placed In brooders. A good brooder run at a proper temperature is much more satisfactory than hens for rais ing chickens on a large scale. A type in which the heat comes up In the mid dle, with one or more circular parti tions of cloth reaching nearly to the floor, Is the most satisfactory Why Druggists Recommend Cbimberliln's Colic, Cholera and Dlarrnoei Remedy Mr. Frank 0. IIanrahan. a promi nent druggist of Portsmouth, Va., says: "For the past six years I have sold and recommended Chamber lain's Colio, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.

Mrs. Kerr's postoflice address is Clackamas, Oregon, R. F. D. 'No 1. She heartily endorses the Courier's idea of naming the farms of the county. "Silver Valley Farm" When in Oregon City recently, Mrs. J. RottingL-7 who resides iu Central Point, called at the Courier aud in formed ns tliat they had named their fine farm "Silver Valley Farm." Their tract, which is three and a half miles distant from Oregon City, con sists of ninety aores, on wbich they raise grain, fruit and poultry in ad dition to conducting a small dairy business. As their farm is situated in a very fertile an productive valley, the name they selected suggested it self. "Spring: Dale Farm" Editor Oregon City Thinking your plan of farms a very good one, we Courier : naming have de- Shlpp nz Cream A contributor to the Amerioan Weekly has the following to say on the subject Very tew of those who bo to make up the bone and muscle of this great dairy industry can afford to start with all the modern inventions but they must milk their cows "the best they can" and struggle along almost "anv old way" untilj they have made enough with their cows to enable them to do better. A gilt-edged article will always oomiiiand a gilt-edged priue .whenever it is Known time you nave only such au article for market. Now the ques tion is, How can we always have a gilt-edged cream ready for shipment? We nave round at our farm (I say we; I mean my wife and myself) that ahsolute cleanliness is the first essen tial. At the milking place have some hooks driven up high aud in a con venient place, so that the milker will not have to speud any time or take any extra trouble to reaoh them, one for each milker. On these hang a quart cup or other vessel and a couple ot clean cloths or towels. The cloths can be made from something that has served its usefulness in the house, and the cups may be rather old ones, just so they are good. See that the milkers always take some olean water with them (warm when convenient) to the milking quarters with them when they go to milk. Have them ponr a little of this into their cups, wet the smaller cloth, and wash or wipe, as the case mavbe, the cows under the udder be- forejbeginiug to milk, -tlrying with the larger cloth or towel. These cloths must be laundered or renewed as often as need be. Now I seem to hear someone say, "Oh, we never would get the milking done it we went through all that be fore we commenced." Let me say right here that I know from actual experience that after the habit is once formed it will only take one extra minute for each cow, on an average, aud think of the value in purity to your milk. Insist that jour injlkers always start with clesn hands, and have a clean, airy place to set the milk as soon as drawn from the cows. Next oomes the process of separating t he cream from the milk. Do I need to say that new milk must never be put into anything but an . absoalntoly clean separator? You may ask any separator man who has been called to investigate a troublesome, balky ma chine, and he will tell yon that lack of proper care causes uioie dissatisfac tion than any other one cause. It is very much easier to keep your milking utensils uloan and swqot than it is to make them so after they have become impregnated iu every possible place with millions of all kinds of bacteria. Always separate yonr cream into a clean, empty vessel aud not into the cold cream separated at a previous milking. The reason for this is ob vious. The new, warm cream poured into the old prevtiits the animal heat from escaping, and decomposition commenoes at once. After separation comes cooling. Set your . pail containing the warm cream into a larger vessel of cold water, and stu frequently lor about three minutes, and at, the end of this time, unless you have a very large body of water surrounding your cream, you will find that the water is very nearly, if not quite, the same temperature as the cream. Next drain off this water and renew it with fresh, which in ordinary wither will be sucifllent to put your cream in fine Bhape. If convenient, however, it may in very hot weather be advisable to have a little ice to add to the water, so as to have it good and cool. It is well, if possible, to loave this cream in the last water till nearly time for next milking, throwing over the pail a clean, thin olotli kept for the purpose. The sooner tne mug utensils aud separator are washed after use, the easier it is done and the less danger there is of their becoming foul. To do this properly vou need three waters. First, use a lukewarm water, to re move all the milk. Second, use water a little warmer, into which should be thrown a handful of sal soda or a few drops of concen trated lye. Third use an abundance of boiling water, which must penetrate every, nook and corner and remain long enough to destroy every germ that may still be looking for a home. I know from actual experience that if these directions are carefully fol-. lowed you will always have clean tweet utensils and separators and your cream will staud any and all tests that are required.

Then with a sharp knife shave off the kernels, but do not cut too near the cob. After cutting scrape tne balance of thu coru and milk from the cobs, uuug the back of a silver knife. Use two tablcspoonfuls salt for each quart corn and add a very little sugar if lied, but if the corn is sweot sugar will not be necesasry. Put over the fire in a porcolaiu-liued kettlu with barely enough walor to cover, and let it. boil until tender, stirring frequently to prevent burn ing. Fill jars while boiling '..hot to withiu one-half inch of the top, be iur careful to pack solidly, aud to break all the air bubbles by running a silver spoon or fork through the contents. Then fill to overflowing with melted butter and screw on the cover tightly. When opened freshen corn in clear water, add a litths milk, and it will taste like fresh corn. Pick, cut and scrape coru as di rected above. Th6U measure the corn, and to six quiirts allow ono ounce tartaric acid. When the corn is done, dissolve the acid in some hot water, stir it iu and cook live minutes longor. Then can and seal while hot. When ready to use heat the coru, dis-olve one-half teaspoon lul of bicarbonate of soda in a little water or milk and stir this into the oorn, adding so a soiling to taste. Poultry Pointers Wiiere correct feed hasj been igven there is scarcely ever a case of leg weakness. High roosts, when one keeps the heavy breedB, are oonduoive to bumbl foot aud leg weakness. Don't feed altogether of corn, and niako the heus work for their feed by scattering the grain for thoiu iu deep scratching ground. Keen ashes, lime Tand grit iu reach of them till the time. Give them alfalfa hay sbatterings. Those that possess a feed cutter can prepare the alfalfa for them exactly to the hens' taste. Warm milk to drink, table scraps and) an occasional meals of meat will all assist towards the good health of the flock and just as cer tainly towards hotter and stronger hatches from the eggs. The high prices of poultry aud oggs, as compared with other farm pro ducts, should result iu bettor care of the poultry. Don't think tlmt the ducks and geese must Jliave a place to swim.

THOUSANDS EACH YEAR Sad Plight of Many Hop less Consumptives MANY STARVE TO DEATH In Poor Circumstances 4315 Die In Southwestern States Cruel and inhuman practices are alleged in a statement Riven out by the National Association for the Study and Pretvention ot TnberculosiB against the eastern doctors who per ist in Bonding dying oases of.oonsn inption to the Southwest. Fully 7,180 persons hopelessly dis eased with tuberculosis aunually oome to dui in the states of Califor nia, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and Colorado, most of them by order of their physioiaus. This statement, which is based upon the testimony of well-known experts, and all availing statistics shows at least 50 percent of those who go to the Southwest every year for their health are so far ad vauced in their disease that they cannot hope for a cure in any climate, under any circumstances, More than tins, at least 60 per cent of these ad vanced cases are so poor that they have not sufficient means to provide tor the proper necessanos of lifo, which means that 4,315 consumptives are either starved to death or forced to accopt charitable rielef even' year It is not an uncommon thing, the National Association declares, for whole families who can hardly eke out a living . in the East, to migrate to the West in the hope of saving the lifo of some member of the family, In most instances, the abject pov erty of such oases forces them to bog, or to live on a very low level. Often consumptives who cannot afford the proper traveling aooommodatious are round dead on the trains betore reach ing their destination. The resources of almost every charitable organi.a tiou in the Southwest are drainod every year to care for oases which would bo self -supporting iu their Eastern homes. It costs, on an avorage at least $60 per month for the support of a con sumptive in the Southwest, including some medical attention. The .Na tional Association Lstrougly urges no one to go to this section who has not sufficient funds to care lor himself at least ono year, in addition to what his tainilv might require of him during this time. It is also urged that no persons who are far advanced with tuberculosis go to so distant a oimate Consumption can be cured or arrested in any section ot the United States, and the percentage of oures in the East and the West is noarly the same. Any puysioian, therefore, who sends a person to the Southwest ' without suilioiunt funds, or in an advanced or dying stago of the disease, is guilty of cruelty to his patient. Beuewed efforts are being maao to step this practice and to encourage the build ing of small local hospitals in everr city and town of the country. At tempts are also being made in South ern California and in Texas to ex clude indigent consumptives or to scud them baok to the East.

THE CHANGE Conducted by J. W. DARROW, Chatham. N. Y.. Press Correspondent New York State Grange T Annual Session of the Washing ton State Grange. 8ome of the Important Items of Busi ness Transacted Almost Ten Thou sand Members Now C. B. Kegley Re-elected State Master. One of the most progressive state granges in the Union Is that of Wash ington, where C. B. Kegley Is state master. The twenty-first session of that body was held June 1 nt Ellens burg. Some of the more important items of busluess transacted were the following: A resolution was adopted demanding that the officers of the na tional grange make regular reports to the membership through state granges as to the status of the national grange official organ, now being published at Concord, N. H., under the direction of the national grange executive commit tee. No detailed report of the business of this paper has ever been made to the national grange. Another resolution asking for the appointment of a deputy to organize granges in the state from among the grange workers of the state was also adopted. There has been con siderable criticism on the part of the far west granges In regard to the pol icy of the national master to send eastern organizers into the western territory. Another 'resolution adopted called for the statement of the expenses of the national grange to the various state granges. Another asked for the appointment of a state matron to have charge of the Juvenile work. A stand ing committee on good roads was ap pointed. A reform In taxation was called for In which the person who makes Improvements on property should not have to bear the burden of taxation also. The grange recom mended that the state adopt the plan of a regular tax levy for the support of state Institutions. The grnuge op posed state aid ronds as being a ve hicle for "graft" and corruption. It urged that districts be allowed to elect their own supervisor. It nsked that practical agriculture be added to the course of study in the common schools. During the year sixty-seven new granges were organized with 2,785 members. ' The total membership Is now 0,132 In 184 granges. There are also thirteen Pomona or county granges and two Juvenile granges. Tho sixth degree was conferred on eighty-eight candidates. C. ii. Kegley was re elected state master. New Hampshire's Grange Lectures. There is much interest in New Hampshire over the free public lec ture course instituted and supported by the stnte grange iu connection with the subordinate granges. There has been a lecture fund since 1005, when the state gruugo appropriated $1,000 for furnishing lecturers to sub ordinate granges, literature, etc. At the last annual meeting of the state grange $800 was added to this fund, and a course of free public lectures has been instituted. The expense of a course of three lectures Is about $30, half of which is paid by tho subordi nate grange, if able, nnd the rest by the stnte grunge. A hundred applica tions have been made for these lec tures, and about one-eighth nre wholly supported by the state gruugo. A Prosperous Maine Grange. Limestone grange, Aroostook, Me., has increased Its attendnuce from a few to a strong organization largely through Its business methods in co operative buying and selling. A year ago this grange had hardly members enough for officers and attendance. They organized a grange store, got their members interested, aud now their attendance runs from 50 to 100 each night. About 100 suspended mem bers were taken back. Into good stand ing. Degrees have been conferred upon about fifty candidates recently. Our Grange Cabinet Officer. President Taft did well to retain Sec retary of Agriculture James Wilson in his cabinet. Being first appointed by President McKlnley, this Iowa farmer and member of the grange, thus breaks all records for length of service, being member of the president's official family In four administrations. While not actively engnged In grange work uow, owing to his official duties, Com missioner Wilson Is nevertheless vital ly Interested in tho work and progress of tho Order. National Secretary Freeman reports 189 granges organized nnd seventeen reorganized for the first quarter of this year. Michigan heads the list with thirty-two, followed by Washington, with twenty-eight, and New York, with twenty-five. Hopewell grange, Illinois, Is certain ly going to sweeten up, ns it has re cently purchased 5,000 pounds of sug ar. Perhaps the canning season is in view. Union grunge, Chautnuiua county. N. Y., has donated $20 toward the ed ucation of teachers In the Chautauqua agricultural teachers' courso this year. NOTICE TO THRESHERMEN. The Courier has published and has on sale some very handy order books with time pages attached, for the use of Threshermen. Already several Threshermen throughout the county have called for these books and have expressed themselves as finding the books Just what they need to not only have a signed order from their custom ers, but also to have a bandy time record for men In their employ. Call at the Courier aud get one of these handy record books. A gas plant may be established in Albany, says the Herald.
