To give the readers of the
Northwest Poultry Journal an
Idea of what a man can do on less
than small capital and nothing in
the, world except a 50, a. .month
Job, will be oar object In writing
this article and reviewing Mr. Mil-
ers success In the poultry busi
ness. " ', h !.
On the front cover of thi3 ias-rue
rou will note a picture taken at
the plant of Harry Miller, at New
berg, Oregon, 26 miles eouth of
Portland, and 32 miles north of
Salem. In the picture stands
Harry Miller, sole owner and man
ager of the Miller Poultry Farm.
The owner of this farm in 1913
worked in a grocery store at $50
a month when he raised 100 pull
ets from his savings and built a
poultry building on the leased
place just outside of Newberg. All
this was done while he Was $100
in debt at the bank and was pay
ing rent, and the living expenses
of himself and iwfe. Mr. Miller
was then 21 years old, but is now
29 and going strong, from every
viewpoint of his operations.
Prof. James Dryden; of the Ore
gon Agricultural College, took an
interest in Mr. Miller and gave
him good instructions and advice
the first year of his breeding op
erations. After trapping all
through 1913-14 the O. A. C.
furnished Mr. Miller with males
from their best hens to breed with
his first findings of 180 to 251-
egg hens. From these matings
started the Pacific coast's famous
strain of Leghorns, known from
Canada to the Mexican line, and
this next year they will know of
Harry in Mexico for he is raising
some fine Mexican game fowls.
Today if you visit Mr. Miller's
fine farm one mile north of the
heart of Kewberg. you will be
greeted with a smile and a cor
dial handshake from a man weigh
ing 226 pounds and as strong as
an ox. He will gladly show you,
we think, the best equipped up-to-date
and well arranged poultry
Plant In the northwest. This is
saying a mouth full, but we think
you will say as much when you
see It. Harry's largest poultry
building i3 20x368 feot and houses
?00 bens. You will find many
other buildings and more in the
making.. There Is al3o a well built
Incubator house and basement
costing $1500 and 34 incubators
holding 22.000 eggs at a setting.
From these incubators he sold the
past season 68.000 day-old Leg
horn chicks. . -

2200 hens and pullets will be un
der a trapper at all times. If! you
visit his place note the vigor and
slzeof his birds and size of eggs
these hens are producing.
f Harry has produced under trap
fljout as high as 321 egg hens and
has many hen wkh a record of
over 300 eggs.
He has sold stock to some of
the best breeders on the coast and
his latest shipment of 600 cock
erels to Petaluma speaks very well

To give the readers an idea
what has been done and what Mr.
Miller thinks could be -done again,'
if every small point i3 watched
aud more than 10 hours' ar? spent
tu work and thought, we will give
the figures in net profit Harry
ha3 made as a result of his eight
years of poultry work,, which, we
are told, aggregates $23,000.
This year Mr. Miller will do a
$100,000 business as he buys eggs
cream and chickens, and dells only
Kerr s line of poultry and dairy
feed. This store is operated on
the place and dealings are 09 per
cent with large chicken ralspra
and cow feeders.

the value of the output of all the

an optimist, and when she 'lays

and proclaims the glad tidings
and her mate welcomes the new
day as he tiptoes on the fence,
she points a war to ease over the
hard times in farm life and dis
pels the gloom of adversity."

If you contemplate going into

a difficult matter to find a more
favorable location where the con.

to climate, soil i?nd markets, than
right here in the Salem district.

The Aastralorpi j
What is ah Aostralorp fowl?
That certainly sounds like a new
breed of chickens when In fact It
is a coined word to distinguish
the Australian bred . Orpingtons
from those of other strains. And
really the Orpingtons of the An
tipodes are entitled to the dis
tinction, for they Save been bred
for productive qualities that place
them on a par with the Leghorn
for prolific egg production, 275 to
300-egg hens being not uncom
mon. So pronounced has been
the success of Australian breed
ers wlth the breed, .that Impor
tations of Australorps are being
made into England. Canada and
the United States. 1 This again
illustrates that good performances
are not limited as to breeds and
varieties, but are the direct result
of proper ' mating and manage
ment. It is, indeed, a pleasure
to know that a fowl which sup
plies a good carcass is also capa
ble of Bhelling out the eggs with
the best of the high producers of
the so-called egg breeds.
The Cucu mber Industry
The California Cannery Incor
poration has established a salting
station at Gervais and are receiv
ing cucumbers grown by the far
mers of that vicinity. One taund
red acres of cucumbers .were plan
ted there this year and the farm
ere report prospects for a fair
crop, despite the dry season. If
this year's crop proves successful
the acreage next year will be
twice as large as this.

farms in Marion or Tolk couqty
than !n most any of the 'Willam

. This is the most farorable time
of the year to buy ' high-class

ting pure-bred etock. Dreedinr 4
pens or flocks can be purchasea
from .specialty breeders for about1:
one-halt the price demanded In" '
the fall - and winter months fori
the reason that practically every :
breeder maintains , a 3 ; "summer)
sale" where he r closes out. all V
the breeding stock he can spare;
from his yards in order to socurd
room for; his young stock coming
on. TOe most favoTable time tt
buy young stock for breeding pur ,
poses is in tho fall, but the real
bargains come in the adult breed. '
era which can be purchased is '
July and August, cheaper than at;
any other season of the year. -
-There is . no more economical ' '
wy in whicb the beginner, cah '
enter the f eld than through the
purchase of a high class breeding '
pen at this season. He will learn :
much more from the purchase of
an adult pen than he will through
the purchase of hatching eggs and
the raising of young chicks with
which to make his start. Besides,
he will have the advantage of
being able to start right off pro
ducing a large flock of youngsters
and at the end of one year should'
bej able, with average luck, to .
have his entire flock pure bred
and of the breed he has selected "
for future operations.-

Of course. If you do not care to
invest the money required In a

The Amateur ; ;
There are two things the a ma -teur
poultryman should give care, i

housing and feeding of his flock. :
In providing poultry houses It is :
not. necessary to erect expensive ...
buildings. The two or three great
essentials are a water-tight roof,
