CHINESE HAVE NEW
METHODS OF RAIS
ING EGG PRODUCERS
There Are Other Means of Hutching
Ekrs Than Setting liens or Buying
Expensive American Incubators.
University of Oregon, Eugene, Feb
29. How his rival in the egg busi
ness gets the hatching done may be
of interest to the egg producer of
Oregon. For the orthodox two ways
in Orgon1 those of setting a hen or
buying an incubator are often too
expensive for the Oregonian's rival,
who thereupon has recourse to one of
several methods.
The rival is the Chinaman, who in
1914 exported 32,874,127 dozens of
fresh and preserved eggs and 16,
693,600 pounds of albumen and yolk
to all countries. There were received
in Portland, for example, between
October 3, 1913, and August 31,
1914, 305,520 dozens of Chinese
eggs.
There are few chicken farms in
China, but nearly every Chinese fam
ily keeps hens. The millions of eggs
produced dally are collections of a
dozen or less from each of a myriad
of households. No special attention
is given to breeding. Fowls are us-

ually small and produce small eggs,
and the following are some of the
ways the eggs are hatched, as report
ed by consular agents at request of
the University of Oregon school of
commerce.
Old ' women sometimes do the
hatching in one poverty-stricken dis
trict near Chefoo. They strap eggs
about their waists under their outer
garments and carry them till the
chickens come. This method is to
save fuel.
In interior districts near Amoy,
unhusked rice is roasted and a three
inch layer is spread while lukewarm
in the bottom of a tub. One hundred
eggs are laid in the rice. Alternate
layers of two inches of rice and of
100 eggs are then spread until there
are 500 eggs in the tub. After 24
hours the eggs are taken out and the
rice reheated. When put back cen
ter eggs go to the outside and layers
shifted. This great labor comes to
a climax when the Chinaman is en
deavoring to keep the hatching brood
from smothering under the rice.
In the province of Shangtung, eggs
are put in earthenware jars, which
are set upon beds of brick and clay
in which slow fires burn. The eggs
are frequently turned.
The consul at Hankow reports a
method he says is thousands of years
old. In buildings 50 feet long and 16
feet wide kongs are placed along the
sides, each holding about 100 dozens
of eggs. Straw is burned. Heat in
the eggs is kept uniform by removal
from one basket to another, those on
top-cf one basket being placed in the
bottom of the adjoining one.
Methods of collecting eggs, export
methods, laws governing importa
tion into Pacific Coast states, and
much other information of interest,
to Oregon poultrymen in contained
in a bulletin on "Chinese Eggs,"
which may be had free by addressng
the school of commerce of the State
University. The bulletin shows, for
example, the following comparison
of transportation rates on Chinese
eggs from Shanghai by water and on
Oregon eggs from four representa
tive points in Oregon by express:
Rates per 100 pounds. Freight
rate from Shanghai to Pacific Coast
ports $.765. Express rate from La
Grande to Portland, $1.20. Express
rate from Pendleton to Portland $1.
20. Express rate from Roseburg to
Portland $1.00. Express rate from
Eugene to Portland, $.65.

How to Feed and Care for Breeding
Chickens.
Best results are obtained from
breeding hens that are housed in op
en front colony houses on free range.
Plenty of liberty out of doors goes a
long way toward guaranteeing good
constitutional health. The hens are
able to find plenty of green and ani
mal foods, which are essential to the
best results in hatching and insure
good fertility In the eggs.
Plenty of exercise is one of the
secrets of good strong, fertile eggs.
Give the breeders as much liberty as
possible and make them scratch all
their grain out of a litter of straw
6 to 12 inches deep. See that the
scratching space is adequate. Don't
crowd breeding hens in any way.
Feed a good laying ration. Avoid
stimulating foods and don't force for
heavy egg production. A good meth
od of feeding is as follows: Feed in
the morning a crumbly moist mash
consisting of three parts by weight
wheat bran, two parts middlings, one
part corn meal, one part ground bar
ley, one part linseed meal and one
half pound salt to 100 pounds of the
dry mixture. Mix this with skim milk
buttermilk, or water, and feed in
troughs about what hens will eat up
in thirty minutes. Between 10 and
11 o'clock enough good plump oats
are scattered in the litter to keep the
hens busy a couple of hours. About
four in the afternoon whole wheat is
fed in the litter. Feed what will be
cleaned up well and at the same time
fully satisfy the fowls appetites. A
good grade of commercial beef scrap,
grit, oyster shell, charcoal, and clean
water, should be furnished in separ
ate hoppers or dishes where the hens
can get at them at all times. It Is also
very desirable to supply sour skim
milk or buttermilk for the birds to
drink. Don't forget to keep plenty
of succulent green food of some kind
always at hand.
If the above method is followed
the breeders will keep in good health
and produce eggs with strong germs.
America's Largest Trees Found Dur
ing Contest.
Much data of general interest and
of considerable value to foresters has
been collected as a result of a big
tree contest recently conducted by
the American Genetic Association.
Several hundred photographs and de
scriptions of large and unusual na
tive trees in various parts of the
country were submitted to the organ
ization during the course of its com
petition, and through the informa
tion thus gathered a number of excep
tional specimens of certain species
have been "discovered." The contest
embraced a search for the largest
nut-bearing and non- nut - bearing
trees in this country, excluding tne
gigantic Sequoias of the Pacific
coast, which for size surpass all oth
er trees in the world. The results of
the contest and pictures of the prize
winning trees are published in the
March Popular Mechanics Magazine.
What undoubtedly is tne largest
deciduous tree now growing In the
United States is a sycamore near
Worthington, Ind., which at 5 ft.
from the ground measures 42 ft. 3
in. in circumference. Its height is
approximately 150 feet. According
to local claims this remarkable spec
imen is inferior to one long since
felled in the same district which had
a girth of 67 ft. A valley oak which
measures 37 ft. 6 in. in circumference
was the largest nut-bearing tree
found during the contest. This is
situated in San Benito County, Cal.,
and reaches to a height of 125 ft. In
a good season it bears a ton or
acorns. America's largest elm seems
to be "The Great Elm" at Wethers
field, Conn., which at the base has a
circumference of over 55 feet, It is
supposed to be about 250 years old.
