THE OREGON STATESMAN EARNING AND INDUSTRIAL MAGAZINE SECTION. A RRnOOFR THAT. II UIIUWWft.ll lllllf Fl IMS nun E Baby Chicks Have a Friend; the Ideal Brooder Is Perfected 3 it Is hoped, on the basis of ren dering real aerrice to poultry men, to build uo an international business. . A word of advice she sends out is that the business of raiding broilers has been more or less ne Rlected, especially in the north west, and can and should be de veloped to a high degree of suc cess. The Good way Manufacturing Co., 183-115 Columbia street. Portland, Oregon, is the company making and distributing this brooder. j it nss Deen truly said that neces sity is the mother of invention Way back in 190 in Prescott. Wisconsin, a young woman was faced with the necessity of taking eare of a brood of chicks with equipment which had proven in adequate. I It was at this time that the I idea of underneath heat for chicks I was born. Since that time it has I been steadily developed and per ; fected from experience in the ao- tual work and close study of the I raising of chickens. Many years of close study and hard work were V required to bring ! to its state of perfection, what is now known as the Goodway Undernaath-Heated Brooder. A close study of the in rentlon reveala that it follows closely the plan Of nature. The baby chick when with the mother hen instinctively warms its feet first by patting them into the feathers of the mother. .The next time you bare a chance to observe this elosely yon will see that Is what actually happens. In oar own homes we eee how this works in the ease of the mod ern furnace system. Now the inventor has employed that type of heat which heating engineers have pronounced most healthful and efficient, namely, hot water, with adequate and sci entifically correct ventilation. Artificial hatching and brood ing of chicks has many problems but are most easily and success fnlly met when following as close ly to nature as possible. The inventor of this Underneath-Heated brooder has always been a close student of nature, and it follows that one who has studied the natural habits of owls would learn the proper proportions and kinds of feeds for different ages and 6tate of development. So with the brooder idea she derel- oped a full line of feeds which only a poultryman could explain and which she will be glad to ex plain to any one. Another thing this student of nature found and which every poultryman, and I mean poultry woman too, for as a rule women are more successful at raising ehiekens than the men, vu that houses and roosts and nests soon become Infested .with mites and lice. She has perfected an anto cmatfe self eared for diein farting system and a disinfectant which have passed the tests of the most exact conditions ATI these idea have been pat tilted and a corporation formed to manufacture them in Oregon, and SALEM SHOULD BE BIG RABBIT CENTER (Continued from page 5.) , chfTta pelt is now quoted at $2.50 each. Big Advantage Here Salem has a big advantage over California in a great many ways. In the first place Jt is a well known fact among fur men that better furs are produced in the colder climates, and while we do not have a cold climate, as such, still we have a climate that is better for the production of furs than has California. This was substantiated by a statement by Judge John Fehr of Indian apolis, who said on a recent visit here that we had "one of the best climates in the world to produce superior furs." Then again we have the matter of feed costs. California breeders pay as high as $40 per ton for their hay and a correspondingly high price for gTalnT Comparing this with our prices for hay and grain gives lo cal breeder a decided advantage in operating eoeta. Iitrmber prices have a similar comparison with a similar advantage to local breed ers. Marketing advantages here are equally as good, as California, with the exception that tor far the breeder is compelled to find his own market and make deliveries. This may be considered an ad vantage, because a better price is obtained and the furs are retained. to be disposed of to the best advantage. The saturation point for either furs or meat is far from being reached In. the Pacific North west. And Rabbit Wool Another rabbit enterprise that has a very small start m Wash ington and Victoria, B. C, is the raising of rabbit wool. . England and Prance hare been doing quite a -business in this for the past frw years. England, has one fac tory running at almost capacity in making rabbit wool cloth now. This cloth makes the finest of garments, especially for Infant wear. The wool sells for 8 cents per IfCHICIfil the right start! Bwwt es fknk ym mm mmm duflm fa ytmr pnekH. Oir mrtian rain nwra of th chick iinj NCT bectQM wb furiish tbem in LiTa-Gro Storing Brooder.

' Uncle Sam Helping Our population is growing; large farms are being cut up into small tracts: beef production is confined to certain - areas under limited conditions with a dimin ishing supply; other meats are being raised under certain limi tations; all these give an oppor tunity for rabbit meat to step in and help fill the bill. The gov ernment has recognised the in dustry by establishing an experi mental farm at Kontana. -Cal., under the supervision of the bu reau of biological surrey. Colored posters are being sent out by the bureau stating that rabbit meat is "wholesome, nutritious, easily digested. Similar to the white meat of chicken." With California making the strides she is in this industry. with the gorernment recognising and supporting it and with the splendid opportunities presented here for success, Salem ought to be made la large rabbit producing center. T. TL ZINSER. dir. Ztnser, who is the presi dent of thealem Rabbit Breed ers association, sends the above, with a private note saying he is Just now In Portland convalescing from his recent illness. He ex pected to return to Salem by the time of the publication of the ar ticle. He made the title, "A Little Light on a New Industry." but the liberty was taken to broaden the scope of the heading, for Mr. Zinser gives a great deal of light on the new industry by what he has written.

March 3 (APJ The naturally predominant Interest of the Cjfpartmen: o- agi-ultu.-e in economic improvement of agri cultural communities has. changed the .aim of boys' and girls' club work in recent years, said Dr. Fannie W. Dunn, professor of edu cation at Columbia university, in an address today before the rural education department of the Na tional Education association. Instead of environmental activi ties undertaken as a means of edu cating farm youth. Dr. Dunn said, the program is primarily the utilization of farm youth as a means of Improving the agricul tural practice of their communi ties. "The type of work now known as 4-H clubs' she said, "was in augurated' by various county su perintendents in the south and middle west. It was an early in stance of an activities curriculum -with great promise for the de velopment of a superior type of education in rural schools. When the Smith-Lever bill provided na tional subsidies for extension teachers, it appeared that the moan? was at hand for such a de velopment on a cooperative basis.
