Whllo I have been travelling for
years, and have seen every part or
the west, both by train and by auto,
I can truthfully say that this Rogue
Kiver valley appeals to me as being
the prettiest section of this slate, or
of any other state thut I have seen
' I do not say this to flatter the
good people who live here, but for
the excellent reason that 1 mean It
That's a fact, cross my heart!
perhaps it would be just as well to
state why 1 am on this trip.
Like other folks, it has been rny
privelego to work during that part
of my life that I have uvea so far,
since 1 wub fifteen. At the age of
twenty-one I was editing the North
west poultry Journal of balem,
Specializing in animal husbandry and
poultry in particular, I stayed on this
publication for ten years, leaving only
to accept a position with the Chas. H
Lilly Co., of Seattle as manager of
the poultry department, handling a
business reaching Into five states.
The longest vacation I have had at
one time was two weeks. 1 resigned
from the Lilly Co., and went into
business for myself, only to have a
man come along who wanted it two
and a half times worse (in. money)
than 1 did, so 1 sold out. And now i
am spending my time with type
writer, gun, fishing tuckle and auto!
I liavo planned on two months of
this now, and a full year a little later.
There are just two men that may
be acquainted with as many folks in
tho poultry business as I am H. H.
Collier, the veteran judge, and Billy
Coats, also poultry judge and now
with the Fisher Flouring nuns oi
Seattle. In talking among ourselves
one- evening we estimated that we
knew personally, by name, between
two and three thousand! The Journal
I edited had 15,000 circulation, so a
lot of them knew of the writer, but
were unknown to me personally,
although they were patrons.
I'm a sentimental cuss. By that I
mean that some things appeal to me
more because of conditions which
surround them, than because of the
things themselves. And this espec
ially refers to folks!
For example, I know a great many
very large owners of poultry. Tan
cred. Atkinson, Palmer Casey, Wil
lis, Corliss, etc., they all have won
derful plants and are highly suc
cessful with poultry and with money.
But do you know that 1 enjoy meet
ing the smaller poultrymen those
who are struggling along trying to
eke out a livlihood and master the
business on a newly clenred plot of
land, where stumps and brush grew
before In other words,- they ore
making to bloom the Innd that for
merly was a wilderness or a barren
tract of God's foot-stool! These are
the folks I like to mcot, oncourage
and help. The big fellow may have
gone through this, but now he needs
neither help or encouragement, at
least such as I have to offer. .
i How often I find a little family sit
uated In the back woods, fnr from
the city's attractions, still using oil
lamps, doing tho washing in the old
fashioned way. raising five or six kid
dies, and hundreds of fowls. They
located there because of cheap land
best they could afford and with
their good wives, tho men have gone
at tho business with determination
nnd have made a fair success. 1
often contrast these women, somo of
thorn often Just girls, with their hun
dreds of duties, cooking, washing,
ironing, feeding babies, scrubbing
floors, chnslng the neighbors' cows
and hogs out of their little farms,
many of them helping with the
chores mornings nnd evenings I say
often compare these real women and
wives to tho flapper element I see
chasing the streets of our large cities,
never oncot giving a serious thought
to lifo or Its opportunities, its privi
leges. Its worries and duties!
It takes grit, manhood and wom
anhood and oodles of determination
to stick to tho little farms nnd these
are the folks and families I admire
when I meet them. These are the
back-bone of our communities, nnd
upon this .sort of people even the
largest poultrymen depend for their
business if they are selling chicks,
hatching eggs nnd breeding stock.
All tho honcst-to-God men nnd
women of our country are not known
by their first or last names in the
society circles, political circles and
business circles of our town!
Two 1-Xsellthlls.
As I hnve seen it, tho success of
the poultry business from a commer
cial standpoint depends upon two Im
portant factors. Tho close culling of
flocks for layers, nnd the proper
feeds and feeding methods.
More poultrymen fall because they
can get only about half their fowls
to lay, than from any other one
cause.
It Is Impossible to raise a thousand
pullets, all of which will lay a suf
ficient number of eggs to even pay
for their keep. Some are deformed,
others do not come up to their par
ents' laying propensities if the parents
were good layers or from good layers
themselves. In fulling fowls I find
only about thirty per cent of a nock
of high egg-producing characteristics.
Another forty per cent are ordinary
layers, and the' balance, often are
rank culls and should never have
been kept at all. You can see how
the keeping of thirty per cent rank
culls would cut into the profits In
fact they do away with the profits
in most Instances. Then we hear
people wonder at - the fact 'that so
many commercial poultrymen fail!
No use to wonder. Tho answer Is
plain. Learn to cull out thd poor
birds, feeding and . caring for those
that can lay If given proper feed, and
your problems will be largely solved.
Feeds.
I care not whether you use a
commercial egg mash and scratch or
one that you -mix yourself but what
ever you feed should be of good qual
ity and balanced for whatever pur
pose you are feeding. If for eggs,
then see that they have a mash,
which, when fed with your scratch,
will enable the hens to - maintain
themselves and produce as nearly as
possible an equal number of yolks
and whites. ...
No grain known will produce an
equal number of yolks and whites
wheat, the most nearly balanced
grain ration, will, according to analy
sis, produce 183 whites of eggs, and
243 yolks, to the hundred pounds.
And that means good wheat. All
other grains are even farther away
from being a balanced ration!
It requires an egg mash, -inade up
of animal matter, such as meat
scraps, fish meal, soya bean meal,
etc., to bring up tho white making
material. The protein of the egg lies
In tho white the fat In the yolk. To
increase the white making material
in the feed requires added protein in
the feed. 100 pounds of meat scraps
will make 1108 whites and only 110
yolks! Sec the point
To make up a mash that will evenly
balance the grain ration requires
some study,- and yet many poultry
men have mastered it by the study
of bulletins from the government and
experimental stations. ' - '
While I am In southern Oregon, I
will he glad to meet? the ooultrymen
whether you have a, dozen -or a dozen
hundred fowls. If I can bo of help
to you my services, aside, from cull
Ing for which I make, only d nominal
charge, and at the same. time teach
you the method, will be gladly given.

Cull the Non-Layers
and thus give tho good fowls a chance to prove their worth. Tho
secret of profitable poultry raising Is In being able to tell the good
layer from the poor one, and culling accordingly.
