At this time of the year, however, there cannot be too much infor mation along this line, especially for beginners in the poultry in dustry. The Yesterlaid Egg j Ranch. Kent. Wash., is one of the big institutions oi us Kinu in inai section, where there are many great and successful poultry plants. T. E. Schreiner is the man, in charge of incubation at the poultry plant named, and the following articla just written by him Is worth clipping and pre serving by beginners, and by oth ers, among the thousands of read ers of The Statesman who are in terested or should be interested in this subject. The fact Is. poul try breeding is on a boom, all over Oregon, and the center of the boom ought to be right here in the j Salem district. t ollowlng is tne article by Mr. Schreiner:) It is a very common mistake among poultry people to let the "seating up" of the brooder go until the last minute, consequent ly the chicks are often placed in the hqyers before the proper tem perature has been obtained. We strongly advise getting the brood er house thoroughly cleaned, dis infected and clean-cut straw put in several days before the chicks are due. See that the stove stands level and that it is perfectly clean and in good working condition. Get the stove regulated and par ticularly watch the night temper ature several days before the chicks are placed in the brooder. If you use a thermometer see that the chicks have access to at least 100 degrees of warmth if they want it; baby chicks require this high temperature for about eight or ten days, then it can gradually be lowered. Do not overheat them. When they open their beaks or droop their wing. cool off the the incubator. If you do not use a thermometer regulate by the way they lay down next to th stove or bource of heat. Each chick should touch another and form a perfect mat when comfort able. If they lay far apart they are too warm, and if they huddle they are too cold. Remember any chick or pullet needs a comfort able warm temperature, this at first must be furnished artificial ly. later the.sun's rays and warm houses will furnish it. The First Food A chick must not be fed too soon, nature has provided it with sufficient amount of yolk to last it from 48 to 96 hours. Don't be too kind to chicks by feeding them before they are 48 hours old If you do you may kill them with vour misguided kindness. It is common practice among poultry men not to feed chicks before they are 72 hours old and some prefar to wait un'il they arei 56 hours old. Sour milk or butter milk Is the best starter of any food for baby chicks. Don't let h chicks fill un too greedily, but keep the milk before the chicks at least one-half a day each day until they are six Seamless Hot Water Bottles and Combination Syringes Guaranteed Not To Leak Prices from $1 up Brewer Drug Co. 4 OS Court sC Phone 14 HE ID weeks old or as much longer as possible, preferably always, if you have or can buy milk cheaply. Fine sharp grit or coarse and should be furnished from the start. Feed in small hoppers and keep it before the chicks at all times. Fine sifted ground shell, oyster or clam, should be fed from time to time; mix a little in the mash or feed from the hoppers. Also feed them fine charcoal from the hoppers or mixed in the dry mash. Feed coarser coal as the chicks grow. Most farmers or poultrymen can hardly find anything better or safer to feed the chicks than "baby chick feed" or also called "baby scratch feed." Any good commercial chick food should contain cracked wheat, cracked corn, steel cut oats, millet seed, etc. The "baby chick feed" should be fed In the litter or straw on the floor to make the little fel lows work and scratch. Feed this hard grain in the morning and at night, also at noon if you want to, but don't feed too much. See that no grain remains in the litter from one meal to another. During the first week commence to feed the chicks rolled pats or bran (dry) at noon; feed from shallow dishes such' as pie tins. A mixture of one-half rolled oats with one half -bran is fine, but rolled, oats alone are preferable for the first week or so. Second Week Dry hard scratch 'food morn ing and night. Bran and rolled oats at noon and from now on commence to mix little com mercial chick mash" with the bran and oats, gradually feeding more and more chick mash and less bran, but feed the rolled oats as. Jong as you . feel you- can af ford to. Third Week Feed as for second week, but instead of dry mash at noon com mence to moisten the mash with a little sour milk, make the mash "crumbly," not wet. Do not feed more than the chicks will eat up clean in ten or fifteen minutes. Remove the balance. A dry mash mav also be allowed before the chicks from about one o'clock un til three or four o'clock in the aft ernoon. It is not necessary to feed more than three times a day. at most four times if the chicks receive milk for one-half a day or all day. but in any case provide them with water also. On rainy days feed sparingly, make chicks drink lots of milk. Always keen the litter dry. Provide both a warm place and a cool place In the brooder house; chicks need both the cold and warmth. Don't put too many Chicks in one brooder or under one hen. Get the chicks outdoors as soon as possible, but always provide some kind of protection against the cold wind. Remember to get the chicks good and hungry at least once a day. uveneeaing Kins more chicks than underfeeding. We be lieve that it would be best and safest if the beginner would not purchase too large a brooder, per haps not over 500 chick size. The smaller the flock the higher per centage of the chicks will be raised. If you have a brooder for 1000 chicks, we advise you to place only 500 to 750 chicks in it. The average person will raise as many chicks as he would if 1000 had been placed in It to start. Too small a flock of chicks Is not eco nomical for the poultryman as the llabor carinc for them Is propor tionately greater. A flock of 500 gives good economical returns, but 1000 chicks in one flock Is a standard flock for the experienced poultryman who has learned how. to care for large flocks success fully.

' MU BIRD T Some of the Important Rules of Success in the Industry of Turkey Breeding In the way or domesticated fowl, America has made one con tribution which in extent of utili zation, commercial Importance and in point ot beauty of plumage and type has been a great acquisition to the livestock resources of the world. Reference is made, of course, to the turkey, which finds so conspicuous a place on the hol iday tables in all civilized count tries. Though the eaglj has not been without recognition in all times and by many peoples, there is possibly no other of the feath ered tribe that occupies a warmer place, nor which is more univer sally appreciated than the Ameri can turkey. Allowing for Benja min Franklin's keen sense for the practical and useful, one can appreciate his desire to select it as the national emblem ot the United States. Before the advent of settlement it flourished throughout the immense areas to to which maize or Indian corn are indigenous and under civilized conditions it has remained as a valuable adjunct to many farms throughout the length and breadth of the land, and has also been in troduced and acclimated to all the countries of Europe. Viewed from a utilitarian point of view, it is indeed the one great American bird. Douglas countyv Oregon, has brought the industry of poultry breeding to a highly successful and profitable point, and there are also many farmers in the Wil lamette valley counties who' have done and are doing well with tur keys; but there is room for a great daal of expansion in this line in the Salem district. The Different Varieties The Standard of Perfection of the American Poultry association gives recognition to six varieties, as follows: the Bronze, the Nar- ragansett, the White Holland, the Black, the Slate and the Bourbon Red. Of these the first menr tioned is by far the most popular and finds the widest exploitation on American farms and in the at mosphere of the marketplace; it easily outnumbers all the remain ing varieties, constituting fully 85 per cent of the total number pro aucea annuauy. m Oregon it is the principal variety handled. In type, all varieties are similar, the variations being primarily in col or of plumage and in weight and size. The Bronze is the largest ana heaviest, and the Slate and Black, the lightest. In addition to these, there is a crested breed with a topknot resembling that of the Polish breed of chicken? and there is also a species native of Honduras, pretty well distrib uted over Central America; bul these possess no economic advan tages over the American breeds. Since the Bronze is the largest and most widely distributed, with its place thoroughly established in the trade. It would seem a waste of time and energy to give the other varieties first consideration along commercial lines. A word, however, regarding them Is not without interest. In New England, and particularly In Rhode Island and 'Connecticut, the N'arragansett was for a long time a popular variety. In size and weight it is second to the bronze, the standard declaring thirty pounds for cocks, twenty for coc kerels, eighteen for hens and twelve for pullets. The Slale Black. White Holland and Bour bon Red should be true to the colors that define their names, and in weight are a trifle lighter. During the early days of poul try culture in Oregon, the mor tality in turkey poults was quite pronounced, the critical period being the first six to eight weeks in the life of the birds. . While H is tri tfiat" turkeys jrben once URKEY IS eREATEST Way Imffar Wttk ttnucl Ttak wka "on their feet" are quite hardy, it Is also true that during their chickhood they will require care ful handling. As a general thing turkey hens are good mothers, es pecially if given a secluded en vironment where quiet is assured. The period ot incubation is twenty-eight days. After hatching al low the chicks with the mother for thirty-six to forty-eight hours. The following from Miller Pur vis's "Poultry Breeding" gives a brief summary on handling the youngsters: "Never let the young turkey get wet; the slightest dampness is usually fatal. Feed nothing the first twenty-four hours after they are hatched. Before putting them in the coop see that they are per fectly free from lice and dust them with insect powder. Be sure the hen is free from lice, and dust her, too. Look out for mites and large lice on the heads, necks and vents. Grease heads, necks and vents with lard. Avoid kerosene Use only a little lard, but work it well into the down. If the.down sticks together after Jard is ap plied, too much has been used. Many of tne young turkeys that die, perish from lice. Remember this. Filth will make short work of young turkeys. Feed on clean surfaces. Give water only in such manner that they cannot get wet above the beaks. "The first week feeu a mixture of eggs beaten and mixed with ground oats or rolled oats, salted to taste, and cooked as bread, then crumbled for them with milk or curds so they can drink all they want to. Feed every two hours, early and late. Give a lit tle raw meat every day: also chopped onions or other green feed. After the first week keep wheat and ground bone in boxes before them all the time but feed three times a day on a mixture of cornmeal and wheat middlings. cooked, to which green feed has been added.

Lewis, Sherwood. Oregon, the accompanying cut ueltig used through the courtesy of the Northwest Poultry Journal 3f Sal?m: "What I think of duck ra sing is summed up as folows: If you have a back yard, city lot. or a Tarm, you can raise ducks Just as well as chickens. The dirfer jnce is you do not have to build my houses for them or more than a shelter. Then thre is no house to clean every day, no lice, or mites to right, and worry lboiit. You do not have to have running water, as many think. All they need is a box to lay in. You can put up a little shelter from storms for them and shade ... -. - . . . - ' ' 1 . -'it.

Remove coops to fresh ground often to avoid disease. Ground bone, fine gravel, ground shells and a dust bath must be pro vided. They ' must b3 carefully attended until they become well feathered. -Finely-cut grounl bone from the butcher's, with meat ad hering, are excellent for them. Give thera liberty on dry, warm days. A high roost in an open shed, open to the south, is best for grown turkeys. A single mat ing of male and female fertilises all the eggs laid in a season, hence one gobbler will suffice for twelve or more hens. , ' "Turkeys are more or less sutn jeet to the ailments that affect chickens, hence the same precau- ' Hons should be observed. The one dreaded disease is known as ' "Blackhead." The symptoms are drooping, inability to keep up, with the flock, emaciation, diarr hea and dark coloration ot the fleshy parts of the head. . Mrs. Susan Swaysgood, who has had considerable experience with tur keys, recommends suphur, 20 grains; sulphate of iron, 2 grains; sulphate of quinine, 2 grains; mix and divide into two rather long lsh pills, giving one to each bird weighing six pounds or over; un der this weight, divide into tbret parts. "If sick chickens produce that tired feeling often read, about, sick turkeys will bring on a spell of innocuous desuetade, for ail ing turkeys are about the most forlorn objects one can imagine. Hence, observe cleanliness at al times, watch closely for trouble, see that the birds are kept "com ing up" without any delays. Once beyond the critical period, your anxieties will be materially les sened." .
