This la the white variety of the .famous Cochin fowl which is given . fcredlt by a noted English writer as .:the breed which stirred up and ; boomed the rearing and exhibiting: of fancy poultry. , . Although variously called Shanghais -"and Cochin Chinas in their early AJays, the breed came from Shanghai, ."China, and was first introduced into "England from a sailing vessel, re- "turnlng from that port about 1845. When first Introduced the Shanghai ,".waa generally of red color. Skilful fanciers developed the Buff, Part ' ridge, White and Black varieties, and ,ef these the White Cochin is the sub- "ject of our sketch. Their chief utility qualities are based on their production of large '.brown eggs in winter. They are also 'highly esteemed for large roasting i'fowls and are bred pure and crossed la certain localities for this purpose. -College Hens Are ') Btill in the Lead ;' O. A. C. White Leghorns first, Qre gons second and O. A. OBarred Rocks fourth, is the report of the Panama Fadflo exposition egg laying contest for August 1. This is the same rank that the three college pens held at the s time of the July report, but the lead ers have increased their lead from 120 to 173, while the Rocks have cut down the lead of their nearest competitors . from 36 to 9. These are the ranks ; of the three college pens among all breeds for the entire , term of contest to date. Speaking of this phenominal record the official report of the con . test says: "The pen of White Leg- feorns from the Oregon College of Ag- riculture, also a pen of Barred Bocks and one produced by a cross between Leghorns and Plymouth Rocks, are : three of the highest pens in the egg laying contest. They have all been bred according to the methods used ',iy' Professor James Dryden at the Oregon Agricultural college. He has learned a great deal about breeding for egg production as the result of Jits many years of experimental work at the Oregon Agricultural college, and Is to deliver an illustrated address .during the week of the Panama-Pacific Poultry show on the selection of -layers and the result of his experi ments at the Oregon station." The crossbred hens still lead In Individual - term contest, and the first six places re all held by hens from Oregon, a Barred Rock of F. M. Sherman of Leb- " anon being tied for third place with a record of 153 eggs, the two leaders, O. A. C. crosses, having a record of ' 156 each. "Water Your Hens If You Want Eggs - In the current issue of Farm and Fireside a successful poultryman gives the following advice: . Tf you do not pay attention to the water your hens have, so that they have all they want of it before them .all the time, you will not get so many ' eggs. You may not see any difference the very next day, but in a day or two the yield will fall off, and stay off for several days. Just one day's lack of "water will do that. " "Tou have got to keep the hen busy. The piece of corn we plant near the henhouses seems Just to fill the bill, i The hens can dig in the earth, pick up bugs and bits of gravel, and be shel tered while doing their work. "The more you call them the more scared they are. If you Just go along - quietly they won't notice you. "New men, new ways, new methods, are disturbing factors. All changes need to be gradually Introduced. All frights are followed by a dropping off of eggs." The Fat Hen. From National Stockman and Farmer. I would like to dispel 'the mistaken ,Jdea so many people have that a fat : hen cannot be a good layer and is not , -A good layer. The truth is a hen In . any. other condition but reasonably v fat Is not and cannot be laying. . Surplus Stock. From the American Poultry Advocate. Tou should dispose of all surplus stock as early as possible to make iroom for your growing chicks, giving them every opportunity to develop and Jmature early.

Plum age should be pure white In all sec tions. The hens get broody, sit, hatch and rear chicks, making excellent moth ers. The chicks grow rapidly and feather slowly, attaining considera ble size before they are fully feath ered. The pullets reach laying ma turity in from six to eght months, but neither sex attains full size until a year old. At that time females weigh from 8 to 10 pounds, males 10 to 12 pounds and often more. These fowls are poor foragers and are hardly suited for farm flocks, but the small breeder can obtain plenty of enjoyment and considerable profit from the sale of eggs, roasting fowls and hatching eggs, if he has exhibited and won a few prizes on his stock. Farmers Beginning To Favor Poultry Time was when the man of the place considered carrying a basket of eggs to market beneath his dignity, says a writer in Farm and Ranch. That was a bit of business for the women and children, and since they went to town very irregularly few farms had an established trade in eggs. The result was small thought given to methods of handling and marketing eggs, with low prices gen erally for a consequence. Men are getting somewhat over the old Idea, and more of them are look ing with favor on carrying eggs, chick ens and butter to the market. In some communities some men are beginning to consider egg production not a bad side line for the farm after all and are offering every necessary facility for marketing eggs regularly. The work of caring for the hens and gath ering the eggs and preparing them for market is still the work of- the women and children, but the men are taking a lively interest in it now and are doing a little more than merely giving advice. In the southwest the movement to produce eggs for the market is well under way. In many communities the egg export business is already assum ing some proportions. In a few of the latter instances concerted activity looking to the production of choice eggs and securing choice prices is meeting with merited sudceas. Uniformity Boosts Prices. Uniformity in product always com mands a better price for any com modity and also creates a demand for It. It Is true of eggs. Infertile eggs keep better than fertile eggs. The community that guarantees uniformly Infertile eggs, therefore, and ships eggs of Uniform size, shape, color and cleanliness, is the community that la getting egg prices that make the in dustry grow. Concerted activity in producing and marketing eggs may require organiza tion or not, according to local condi tions. The essentiala are that those in terested know how to produce choice eggs and how to prepare them for mar ket, matters requiring thoughtful at tention largely. If the eggs are to be shipped out of the community then a leader, a sales agent, or an honest, active local dealer, la necessary for best results. If any community of farmers will produce all the eggs the community can use and as many more for the SSw.t,-a?d market them right, they will find It so profitably worth while as to keep on Increasing the business. Poultrymen to Meet At Interstate Fair The poultrymen and all others inter ested in the poultry industry in the Inland empire will hold a meeting in the convention tent at the Spokane Interstate fair grounds at 10 a. m on Wednesday, September 15. Several practical and interesting lectures will be given by the best authorities in the northwest, and D. K. Hale, the famous Chicago expert, who will judge the poultry show, has consented to make an extended address. TheBlne in Breeding. From the Northwest Poultry Journal The reason why the blue is so hard to breed Ts because it is not a primary color, and a reversion is more easily thrown back to the black and white than from other colors.

' Keeping Chickens On a Small Scale Poultry can be kept successfully on a small amount of land, for this rea son, it is particularly adapted to the suburbs of large cities and to small towns. The waste products of the kitchen .and the table may be used to advantage and there is always a mar ket for eggs and dressed poultry or, If used at home, the consumer is cer tain that he has a strictly fresh product. When many birds are kepjt, in a small space, however, the ground is likely to become foul. It is, therefore, advisable to divide the lot and bow part of it with some quick growing grain such as oats, wheat or rye. In this way the yards may be rotated every three or four weeks during the growing season, the hens being turned on the growing grain when it is a few inches high, A good combination i3 oats and wheat in equal parts, sowing six or seven bushels to the acre (43, 660 square feetL For the poultry house, about four square feet of floor space per bird sBould be allowed for the general pur pose breeds. The other essentials are fresh air, dryness and 'sunlight. Birds that are too fat will lay few eggs. It is, therefore, advisable to make them work for most of their feed by scratching in the litter, of which there should be about four inches on the floor. A good feed mixture Is a scratch ration composed of equal parts of corn, wheat and oats and a mash of two parts cornmeal and one part each of bran, middlings and cornmeal, feed ing about equal quantities of the scratch ration and of mash. This should be scattered in the litter morn ing and noon, allowing a small hand ful for every three hens. At night the birds should be given all they can eat of it in a V-shaped trough. In tfce winter time, some green feed should be given at noon cabbage or mangel-wurzels are good. If the birds do not eat all the grain that la scat tered In the litter, reduce the quan tity. Grit, oyster shells and water should be available for the birds at all times. Poor Birds Should Be Culled Out Now Every bird that does not give prom ise of paying its bills through the win ter (should be culled out- Know how many birds your houses will hold, and the number of pullets you wish to keep over, then cull. A big feed bill for fowls which will sicken and die if kept In crowded quarters is poor policy. The successful poultryman must flret be a good business man. Because some birds are of slower growth than others, we do not advise' immediate culling of all the fowls that are undersized. The stocky type of bird, especially, will seem for a while to stand still, and the lanky bird appear much larg er; but put them on scales, and the stocky bird may surprise you by out weighing the larger bird. This tsrpe of male bird is very desirable for grow ing early maturing broilers; birds of the stocky build are plump all the time. But we would mark birds that are apparently backward if they are otherwise good, and give them a chance to make good. The birds with off-colored eyes, very bad combs, crooked backs, wry talis, long, shaky heads, knock knees, and feathers or down on smooth shanked Varieties, should be marketed first. It will pay most farmers to have a fat tening coop and keep half a dozen or more birds cooped there all the time for emergency use. About this time of the yeafX we used to be greatly interrupted by passers by who, noting the ranging chickens, came to purchase. When the chicks are cooped, it does not take long to weigh them up and make the sale. The average butclver will complain of hens that weigh seven or eigtit pounds,, and will probably dock the price- if he takes them; but people who come to the country for their chickens are will ing to take these fat hens, the best of roasters. When farmers cull gradually, there will not be the drop In prices in No vember, when the first cold snap calls for more room in the henhouse. Poultry Hints. It will cost not l-ss than 75 cents to raise a baby Brahma chick up to the point of laying. Leghorn chicks could be raised for about 50 cents, as they mature much earlier In life. The hen mite or red spider feeds upon the poor hens at night while they are on the roost and saps their life to such an extent the egg yield is largely reduced. If the egg shells are fed to poultry care should always be taken to crush them thoroughly before feeding. See that pans of water are placed so that birds can get to them easily during hot days. They enjoy the water and you will enjoy the birds. Provide Proper Roosts. Do not give the growing chicks any opportunity to roost upon the cross studdings. If such are used in the construction of t-he house cover them with a slanting piece of wood which makes it almost impossible for them to perch on. The roosts should also not be round, as such roosts are apt to cause crooked breast bones. Always use flat, roosts about three inches wide and of sufficient capacity to accom modate the number of chicks comfort ably, allowing plenty of room for them to grow. A Dry Mash for Fowls. A recommended drymash is made as follows: . Wheat bran, 2 parts. Wheat middlings, 1 part. Cornmeal, 1 part. Ground oats, 1 part. Beef scraps, 1 part. To this can be added in bulk, cut clover hay according to the way the fowls eat it. The parts of the rest of the formula is toy weight. The Colony Plan. The colony plan of keeping' poultry is best suited for the farmers and those who have plenty of land at their disposal. It makes it possible to keep several hundred hens on the ordinary farm without the expense of yarding them, and still have them away from the home buildings. It's the farmer'a way. When to Wash Chickens. From Wallace's Farmer. A bird will look better the day after it is washed than before, but It should be washed long enough before a show to be thoroughly dried and cooled down by removing to a cooler room. Feeding the Chicks. It is certainly less trouble not to mix wet mashes or cook, feed for small chicks, and they will do as well on dry,, uncooked feed. Cooked or wet feeding places, more sour stuff lying around to start digestive troubles; so why take the ' trouble to do a lot of unnecessary work? TEACHER QUITS N. L A. BECAUSE SHE WASN'T ELECTED PRESIDENT Miss Grace Strachan of New York Shows Anger Because . of Defeat in Convention. Oakland, Cal., Aug. 21. (IT. P.) Excitement was still high today among the teachers attending the convention of the National Education asso ciation over the action of Miss Grace Strachan, defeated candidate for presi dent of the organization in resigning because the organization had became "lacking in toleration of the things sacred to the Individual." Desert Oakland. What will be the effect of her resig nation upon the organization's mem bership could not be predicted. She and the New "Slork teachers who have been backing her campaign for the presidency, left Oakland today and took rooms in a San Francisco hotel. That Miss Strachan's criticism of N. E. A. methods will call forth replies from some of the heads of the organi zation is not doubted. Miss Strachan is said to be especial ly resentful toward Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, of Chicago, who, she asserts. Instigated the campaign against her. There were no sessions of the vari ous departments of the N. E. A. today, the teachers having gone to San Fran cisco to celebrate N. E. A. day at the Panama Pacific exposition. Says Bomor Untrue, Humors that she would lead a seces sion of 2 8,000 teachers of the east and south to form an educational associa tion to rival the N. E. A., as a result of her defeat for the presidency of the latter organization, were heatedly de nied by Miss Grace Strachan today. "I have simply resigned," she said today, "and that is all there is to it." Miss, Strachan refused to say that she had been the victim of a "frame-up." Hunters Get Big Deer.

These streams had been carefully selected by the club and as soon as authority can be obtained from , the Oregon Game and Kish as sociation, they will be declared closed. Another important action of the club taken to prevent night fishing, is that every member of the club has been sworn in as a deputy game war den, with authority to arrest any vio lator of the game and fish laws.
