Performance of New Breed, On account of the widespread in terest in Hi, Oregon breed of poultry, attracted primarily by their wonder ful performance at the Panama-Pacific egg-laying contest, it is refreshing to get the facts regarding them at first hand. Prof, James Dryden, poultry husbandman, at the Oregon Agricul tural College, who developed the breed, writes as follows: "Our stock Uiat we call' the 'Ore- gons' hag been bred up during- the past seven years from an original cross of Barred Plymouth Rocks and White Iehorns. In some . of these crosses th Barred Bock male was used with the Whits Leghorn hens and in others tho reverse, and we seemed to get practically the same results either way. Atter r the first cross purebred White Leghorns were used,- and the 'Oregons' now have some rive-eighths to seven-eighths Lesrhorn bipod, the : balance Barred Rock. In all the crosses males, as well as fe males of high laying pedisreo were used. The main purpose in the cross ing was. to determine whether or not high egg-laying was a matter of heredity. 'By crossing we made sure that the vigor of the stock , was not lacking. Without this knowledge we would not know whether any increased production secured was due to hered itary laying tendencies. "Another purpose in the crossing was to develop, if possible, a variety that excelled as a general purpose type of Chicken, having high egg lay ing Its first characteristic There seemed to be too great a gap between the Mediterranean breeds and the American breeds when it came to fur nishing the average consumer with a table fowl. Plymouth V Rocks of, standard weight are too large for the average consumer; t ie Leghorns too little meat. Our problem is to furnish a chicken four to five pounds in weight. I think a chicken of such size will. greatly increase the consump tion of poultry. However, egg-laying was ths first consideration, and I think we now have in our strain, the Oregon, secured a chicken that breeds true to 1 high laying. These fowls are wbite In color, with medium large comb, . rather close-feathered. yellow . legs and , skin, and laying a white egg. While the crossing was an advantage In certain ways; the main thing in producing the high laying qualities was in the selection of high - layers as breeding stock. "W sent pens to the Missouri and Storrs laying contest" to try them out under different conditions. At Storrs, at the end of the fifth week, the Oregons wera eighteenth In tho list, having risen from thirtieth place to eighteenth since the end of the first week. We expect to see them still further "improve their- position. in ths' Missouri? contest, the "Oregons won the silver cup in November with 106 entries. At tho Panama exposi tion we had three pens entered, one of 'Oregons, on of Leghorns . and one of Barred Plymouth Rocks. The White Leghorns finished first place and the , -Oregons' and Rocks tied for second - place. The conditions there were not good for heavy production, and the records were rather low. We now have four71 hens of the Oregons' with records of over 300 eggs, and the pen records are also very high. In all our breeding work, trap-nest selection, of course, has been the basis. -Selec tion has been rather a question - of oooK-Keeping more than following" any theory of type." , The . ideal backyard poultrv bouse will provide plenty of sunshine dur ing the winter for the . interior and ctill allow shading during the' beat ox tne summer. 1 'About one quart of grain daily should be. fed to exery . sixteen Leg horn: hens, or to thirteen general-pur pose bens, such as the Plymouth tfiocKs, with an equal amount of masb. s Eppecial care should bo exercised In the construction of a poultry house to see that draughts" do not strike tho Plan to exhibit in the era. classes jit ins state poultry snow in January. fey 1 In most cases, grows soma larger than the female.

All the geese are shut in a stable or pig stye; a small dog ' is then put in. : it is said, and we believe with truth,, the geese will all lift up their heads and go to the back of the place while the, ganders will lower -and stretch out their necks, hissing' all the time. - K . Pullets that are heavily, forced for egg production are not in the proper condition for breeding. High stimu-j latiori affects the fertility of eggs. . Besides, chicks hatched from eggs laid by highly stimulated hens will not be strong and vigorous. , ; '.. To feed boiled potato and other veg etable carlngs is apt to get the hens too fat? But if these are given in a raw state and cut up fine they will be greatly appreciated by the fowls, and there will not be the strong tendency of producing fat as when they are boiled. A good way to feed charcoal Is to add it to the dry mash. Two pounds to 20 pounds ground grain would be all right. - When, putting In roosts do not build them too high from too-floor o'r your fowls may become infected with bum blefoot. Don't confine your birds too closely aV night. Fowls are in need of fresh air at all times, hence the popularity of the open front houses. , - A . sandy or loamy soil Is best adapted for poultry keeping, as it ab sorbs offal more readily. - Use clean, dry straw or dry leaves for a scratching litter. Shavings or sawdust should not be used, as either of these is apt to cause crop trouble. PERTINENT ADVICE ON The Poultry Fancier Must Show That He Has What Buyer Wants, When an advertisement puts buyer and seller into communication the ad vertising medium has done its part The seller must show the buyer that he has what he wants, and will give good value for the money. This is not done by claiming ail good qualities for tho stock to be sold, but by a simple statement of facts. If a male is being sold for utility purposes, hi vigor, size and age are the Important points. If ihs is being sold for breeding fancy poultry, bis vigor, markings and age are important. No "matter what the purpose, vigor is absolutely essential. Markings are of no value, purity of color amounts to nothing, if the bird bas not the vigor to be a good breeder. It is well to give the breeding of the birds offered for sale. If they come from a pen of, good layers, and have been trap-nested, say so. If they come from a flock of na tional reputation, though not your own. it is weU to name tbe strain, Tet stock from the best of breeders, IX in, the yards of a breeder who does not under stand the business, may be very disap pointing. ! t , While the breeders who receive indi rect advertising from their customers may occasionally be 'pleased with the result, ordinarily, it is best Ton both sides to make no mention of the parent strain. : ..... 5 - - Answer letters of Inquiry promotlv. and on good stationery, with pen and ink. Write your name plainly: also- the prices. If a man writes for a low priced bird, do not describe ths high priced birds to him, i or mention .that you have them. Some people feel that a poultry breeder with two prices on aijrrerent birds is on a par with store keepers with two prices on the same line or goods. . Wihen an order is made, shin the birds in neat coops as light as can be carried with safety, Nowadays. it" very easy to tmy knock-down coops, which can be put up In a hurry, as oc casion demands, and stored in . small space when not needed. Better add 60 cents to the price of every bird and ship in a coop that Is a good advertise ment or your methods, than to toggle up old boxes and send a coop which costs too much in express charges. When the bird is crated ready for shipment, inspect the shipment care fully. If you would not be satisfied to receive the bird as good value for. your money, don't ship him out. ' Don t send out a disqualified bird without stating th fact in answering the inquiry. In smooth-legged vari eties, a stub or two would disqualify ths bird for the showroom but, if he Is otherwise of good shape and color, it would not be a detriment to a utility more than the culls from pure-bred flocks; they wm be bred for uUlity purposes onty, out au ins stanaara re- qulrement were fixed because they were first based on utility : qualities : and if the bird bas Vigor and else, if be-comes from a good line, tho chances are he will breed better than he is, and the damage done to a utility flock by a few stbbs will never be felt. We would not use a disqualified bird for exhibi tion stock- unless in a small - special mating. . ? Certainly, we would not sell , birds from such a mating without telling tho buyer what he wanted and what wo got from the cross. . Unless a disqualified bird is specially strong in other lines, be should go to the market .very promptly. Only a disqualified bird of exceptional promise in some sections should be kept. Improvement comes slowly at the best; but don't let a flaw which win probably not damage utility birds condemn a good market typo of male,' unless your, hens are of excep tional quality.

Oampine Breed of Ancient Lineage Among old breeds that have been rediscovered - none v have commanded more attention, 'nor - given wider evi dence ot economic values, "than the Silver and Golden Campinas. - Import ed from Belgium into England and the " United States, they- soon gave evidence of good - lay ipg qualities, while in the matter of type and color of plumage the breed has been much improved by the fanciers f both countries. The breed takes its name from the fact that it Is largely bred in the Camping district a dry, sandy plain lying between Antwerp and Has eelt, in the provinces of Antwerp and Llnburg, ; where prevailing' conditions render, activity as essential to any breed, as forage is Quite apt' to be scant. - Allowing for this, it is no wonder that the Campine . suggests the Leghorn in typerthat It Is an alert, active bird; that it. is a com paratively small v breed r and that its maintenance is one of low cost In. comparison to some of the larger breeds. The Campinas are rated as hardy, small eaters, good foragers (and yet not averse to confinement), rapid growers, and splendid layers of good slsed eggs, those of adult hens going two ounces ' each. The " carriage is proud, and the color scheme in plum age one of the most beautiful of all our domesticated fowL In this section the Campine seems to find Ideal conditions, its acclima tisation being easy, and while their Introduction among fanciers has not been rapid, their place in the show held here in December was by no means a small one, in fact both the silver and golden variety were pro nounced features. y Their permanency In the Industry and still wider discrimination seem CO-OPERATION 7MT 'HE OREGON JOURNAL'S Bureau oj t?iSl- . r .e . m , ' '.' try lniormauon win neip you aoive , rour poultry problems.
