JACKSON OPERATES MODERN
POULTRY HOUSE.
Home and Farm Equipped With
Modern Conveniences; Poultry
Revenue Assured.
An example of modern electrifi-
cation of farm and home is found
upon a visit to the 40-acre tract
which Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Jackson
have operated tor the past 27 years
in the Minnehaha district, four
miles southwest of Hermiston. Their
poultry houses are lighted by elec
tricity and water is pumped to them
through pressure made possible by
an electric motor; they have an
electric stove, refrigerator, radio,
iron, and a pressure storage tank in
the basement to furnish running
water tor domestic use in the home.
Two acres of the forty is planted
to melons each year, ten acres to
hay and other acreage to diversified
farming crops. Six dairy cows are
maintained
to furnish
another
source of income.
The main industry on the Jack-
son farm is the poultry with 800
laying hens, confined to the laying
house during the entire year, ex
cept for a few days in the fall dur
ing house cleaning period. At this
time the 800 hens are culled to
around 400 cutting out the older
hens showing signs of drop in pro
duction, making it easier to handle
the hens on the range.
House cleaning activities consist
of the removal of the dropping
boards and roosts to the creek where
they are scrubbed thoroughly; wash
ing of the floors and walls and re
placement of chaff and straw in the
nests and on the floor. After this
scrubbing the house is sprayed with
a disinfectant to make it sanitary
for the young pullets which replace
the culled stock.
These house cleaning activities
play an important part in the poul
try business by keeping down dis
ease in the young pullets and invig
orating the older laying hens. The
culling period is an opportune time
for this movement.
Each year the Jacksons purchase
1000 day old chicks and raise the
pullets to place in the laying house
and the cockerels for the fryer mar
ket. The cockerels, when sold at
eight weeks, find a good market at
between 1% and 2 pounds. The
revenue from these cockerels aids in
placing the pullets in the laying
house.
The Jackson flock of White Leg
horns is not forced at any time and
is allowed to rest during the molt
ing period. By this method the Jack-
sons believe the mortality is less and
the average egg production of the
flock is higher throughout the year.
The production from hens over
three years of age is too uncertain
to keep them among the laying
flock, so they are culled.
The laying house has four units,
each 24x24, with a capacity for 200
hens. The walls are of double con
struction and ventilating system
permits air to circulate below the
roosts, lifting the foul air to the es
capement through the roof ventila
tors. The slide windows are covered
with muslin, used both winter and
summer, and are adjustable. No
heat is required in winter.
Running water is supplied In the
houses and is administered through
containers adjusted by a float.
When the water gets near the top
and there is danger of an overflow,
the float rises and closes the en
trance through which the water
drips. With this system there is no
excessive moisture to breed disease
in the laying house.
The baby chicks are kept in two
brooder houses, with a capacity of
500 each, until they are old enough
to range. Can nabal ism was almost
entirely eliminated this year by ap
plying a non-pick solution when the
chleks were only, a few days old.
Another modern feature to the
Jackson set-up la a 6x8 egg packing
room In the basement. This room

average temperature of between 40
and 45 degrees both winter and

Cherry Season On.
Cherry season is now on at the
McNealy orchards near Patterson,
says George T. McNealy who was in
town today. He states that his yield
will be 50 tons on 15 acres. Four
acres have been picked and the
yield is 14 weighed tons delivered
at Grandview, with the remainder
of the orchard, with heavier pros
pects. Fifty pickers were at work
today and Mr. McNealy is hiring
more. His orchard has not been
touched by recent showers that have
affected many other districts now
with ripe cherries, causing a heavy
percent of split culls.
The price has not been establish
ed, but will likely range from ten
cents per pound to a possible 14
cents for choice lots. One thousand
dollars per acre with such yields
and price is not improbable accord
ing to the reports received.
