MODERN P O U L T R Y
CULTURE
By PHIL. MAKQUAM
E xp erim en t S tation s;
P r e se n t.
P ast anil
The Benedictine m on ks conducted
t h e first ex pe ri m en t stations. It is
t r u e th a t in those bygone times thi er
f ar m in g en te rp ris es were not called
“ exp eriment s ta t io n s ” , yet th a t is in
fact wh at they were. T he Benedic­
tin es were the first “ scientific” f a r m ­
ers. The rules of St. Benedict which
assigned a certain time each day for
reading, study and med itat ion , did
not overlook the useful art of f a r m ­
ing. Accordingly, a-c e rta in time each
day was spent by th e Benedictines i n '
t a k in g care of the poultry, growing
a garden or reclaiming ma rsh y
swam ps and tu r n i n g the m into f r u i t ­
ful fields. Into this work they en-i
tere d with an active in te r es t and
with inqu iring minds. Led on by the
spirit of investigation they so ught to
m a k e each succeeding crop b et ter
th a n t h e preceding one. T h ei r aim
was to profit by past experience. Un-
; fortu nat ely , in those bygone times
th e re was little real scientific f a r m ­
ing experience to profit by. Today
some branches of scientific farm in g
ar e ju s t in t h e i r infancy. It is t h e r e ­
fore qu ite obvious th a t in ages long
past the sum total of all f ar m i n g ex­
perience was quite m e a g e r and indef­
inite.
The spirit of investigation,
however, lived on, and with each
passing age added a little to the
scientific knowledge of f arm in g, but
th e progress was very slow and the
acc omplishment not alway s p r o m ­
ising.
It is only in o u r own day th a t
every br an ch of f a r m i n g may, in fact,
be placed upon a scientific basis. The
chief factors in accomplishing this
re s u lt are the ex p er i m en t stations.
F o r the m the modern f a r m e r should
feel an u nb oun ded g r at i tu d e. They
44 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4
have indeed given him th e formulas
for success. All he has to do is to
profit by them. If a person follows
un ap pr ove d me th o ds and fails he
need blame no one but himself. The
m o d e r n exper im ent stations, ho w ­
ever, like the bygone monks, can do
no m o r e th a n by th e ir te aching and
by example. Obviously they can not
r u n o u r farms for us. And so it is
up to each f a r m e r to m a k e the most
of t h e lesson.
To the poult rymen, the se station s
have given th e balanced ration the
open front house, a n a be t te r p r i n ­
ciples of breeding. And it has ta ke n
all t h r e e of these essentials to place
th e poultry business on a paying
basis.
And so when any one cont emp la tes
going into this line of work he would
do well to get in toucli with th e ex­
p er im en t stations, and learn w ha t
they ar e doing. The men who con­
duct these stat ions have devoted
th e ir lives to th e study of farm pr o b­
lems. If they do not know the a n ­
swers to on e’s poultry problems, no
one else does. T h e work of these
stations, especially o u r own, u n d e r
the able direction of Prof. J a m e s
Dryden, at Corvallis, Oregon, is of a
tho ro ug hl y practical na t u re , and
hence the th in gs they teach ar e a l­
ways of value to the farmer.
A nerson going into this business
would do well to get th e bulletins
dealing with poultry and learn a
little of the the ory of poultry f a r m ­
ing before he begins to “ keep poul ­
t r y ” . Th en when he s t a r t s In the
business he will know what to do and
how to do it. But if a person rejects
th e best teachings of the ex per im ent
Fictions, and reties imon his own
"|finas ” . when in fact he lias no worth
while ideas to rely upon, he is beaded
for failure. On the o t h e r hand, if a
person goes into this business in a
small way, a f t e r having studied o u t
slowly, and is pa t ie nt and consistent
the essentials of the work, grows
in his work, so oner or la te r he will
me et with a full mea sur e of success.
Miss Marie Fall of Portland, is
in town selling a series of vol­
umes entitled “The Yound Folks
Treasury" and “The Mother’s
Rook.’’ The last named con­
tains very valuable information
to mothers in respect to the
training of their children, and
the remaining volumes are de­
signed for the children to read
and thus have their minds train­
ed and knowledge imparted to
them in a very interesting man­
ner.
