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. . - ly October 1 we are tol j Harryv will have 4a00 laying lien, and four men to rare for. them, as Seamless Hot Water Bottles and .

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 0 ' V 1 "V t.

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. You will find Mr. Miller home most anytime except on Sundays when be usually drives hi ITaynes speedster to some sea ijhore re sort during the warm summer season for a day's rest and. out ing. III SUBJECT. THE HEN The Kansas State Board of ' Agriculture Waxes Ex ceedingly Ooquent The annual report of the Kan sas State Board of Agriculture foses its chapter on poultry farm ing with the following tribute to th great American business hen and, ? her achievements in that state: . - - Always loved ai a cheeTf al giver, the Kansas hen has grown with' the state until her daught ers, are as" the sands of the sea. with i;yearlyi- product greater than that of all the f'atc's coal riinesy; four times the- product or all our gas" wells and double the first cast of Alaska. Each year she produce? mor? tha pns-h.af 1 APPI .. jB-r" ' i "ill " 1 . - the value of the output of all the gold mines of America, exclusive of Alaska, and a large number of yellow-legged sons which enter the ministry. The Kansas hen Is an optimist, and when she 'lays around' in haymows or manger 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."

(The following article was written by request by a Salem man vho is a successful poultry raiser in this district: ) If you contemplate going into the poultry business, it would be a difficult matter to find a more favorable location where the con. ditions are more ideal as relates to climate, soil i?nd markets, than right here in the Salem district. Some of the many advantages here are comparatively cneap lands suitable for poultry ranch es, everything in the building material Tight at hand, ideal cli matic conditions for poultry, abundance of kale and other green feeds the year round, grain, corn and other feeds, home grown, quick and short transportation fa cilities to the largest and best One of the fine modern poultry houses on the4liller Poultry Farm showing; "the shady -Ik.. i - - - , - : r- ----- prune orchard -runs . -:-,. :.- f' Way liflit Wttk tMBMl Trails mU 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. ' :, it,' V ts ' t '- S ! a THE POULT market' In the rorthwest at Port land. Regardless of all these ad vantages there are fewer poultry farms in Marion or Tolk couqty than !n most any of the 'Willam ette valley counties, but those that have been established here have proven the truhfulness or the above statements, and there is therefore plenty of room for many to engage in the industry in this district and succeed.
