The ladies regret that they could not serve the public at the evening meal with the good chicken pie that pleased so many at noon. It was due to a miscalculation between demand and supply.

Hood Rivkb Dee. 27, 1899-Editor Glacieb: Few people realize the magni tude of the poultry business in the United States. Last year the poultry production reached the enormous sum of $500,000,000, or a sum greater than the return from cotton, wheat and cat tle, and still this country imported in ISM t)0,000,000 dozen of eggs from Can ada, Norway, Sweden and other foreign lands. In California, last year, over f2,500,000 of poultry products were im ported from the Eastern states. Oregon produces annually less than 'one per cent, of the poultry products of the United States, and ships in thousands of dollars worth of eggs. In view of these facts, it seems to be beyond dis pute that poultry can be made to yield a handsome profit. There has been a marked advance in the character of the poultry in Hood River valley in . the past few years. There are now to be found some choice yards of thoroughbred fowls, among which may be mentioned the Plymouth Rocks of ' Mrs. Howe's and Mrs. D. G. Hill's, Light Brahma's of E. D. Calkins', iluff Wyandotte of E. E. Savage's, sev eral variet.es of Mr. Koberg's, Brown U'ghorns of E. E. Lyons', and others. As it cosfs no more to feed and care for goi.d fowls than for mongrels, every farmer should seek to improve the char acter of his fowls. If ho does not feel able to get thoroughbreds he can im prove the quality of his birds by dis carding his dunghill roosters and put ring a pure bred male into his flock. There are good opportunities to secure such now right at home, and the ben slits can Ivi-dlv be realized unt.l onc e-ipericneed. In add'tiou to the warm uo,ies adv ised by Mrs. H we, I would add : Grade up your flocks b.' the addi tion of a few choice pure bred fowls of such breed as you prefer, hatch your chicks early, use care in feeding, and the results will justify the outlay. E. E. S. P.i ill! ry Notes. E. D. Calkins returned Saturday evening from Portland, where he took in the poultry show. He brought home with him a coop of Minorca. While in Portland he visited with Win. Palmer, who served with him in the same com pany in the fith Wisconsin during the civil war. The two old veterans had not met for years and of course had a good deal to talk about. Mr. Calkins did not think much of the poultry show. There were some fine birds on exhi bition, but at the same time there were a good many scrubs. Frank Caddy says the virtues of bone meal as feed for chickens should be bet ter known among our many amateur poultrvmen. lie merely mentioned to his wife on-3 day that he would get some bone meal for Tiig .chickens, and net day his hens laid 8 eggs". Jiurnerly his hens had not averaged but four egfesa day. . Warren Miller has a fine lot of hens, mostly Brown Leghorns, and has been getting a good lot of eggs while prices were good. E. D. Calkins has a fine lot of Light Brahma pullets that will soon hi laying. These chickens are the best of winter layers. He has one old biddy that has laid an egg every day for the past two months. Mr. Calkins intends to breed only from his best layers and best marked hens, and when the breeding season comes will try to fill the demand tor eggs tor hatching 01 mis iavorue breed. D. N. Bverlee has made good quarters for his flock of about 100 chickens. The hens are of mUed breed, but he intends to mate a few of the best with thorough bred roosters before the hatching season begins. His hens have had good care this winter, are looking well and the number of eggs that will come from this ranch in another month or so win neip materially to swell the surplus that llood River merchants will have to con tend with. The mild and open winter thus far has been of great advantage to the chicken business in Hood River valley. The price of eggs has been good since early last summer, and the proceeds trom poultry have neipea consiaernniy to provide for necessary expenses on many a farm. Do not fail to procure thoroughbred roosters when you start your breeding pens. And the time to mate your chickens is now. Early hatched pullets are what vou want, and if you have a place prepared for little chicks, it is not tnn pufIv tv Rpt. vniir biddies bv the first of February. To make a good cross for laying pullets or chickens tor table use, cross the heavier breeds, like Plymouth Rocks, Langshans or Brahmas, with the Leghorn. Hamburg or game. Non-sit ters crossed with non-sitters makepocr layers, and the same can be said of a cross between the Asiatic hreeds. If vour hens have made a record during the past year, or any part of the year, that you are proud of, bring the figures to the ulacier and let your neighbors know of it. Did vou begin with the new year to note the eggs gathered every day? If not, it is not too late to begin. Every day's receipts should be put down at the time of gathering the eggs, and also the cost of feeding should be noted. (Jiiurcli Notices. , Rev. J. W.
