Vernonia.
Chickens will grow and lay
eggs here, just as well as any
other place, and a few lots or

$15 or $20 down as first pay­
ment, and can be built for about
50 cents per chicken, your $10

Many believe that the big mill
of the Oregon American Lumber
company will run forever, and
will be the means of keeping
business on top here in this city,
which may be true, but when
the mill is through here, what
are we going to do, those that
have paid out all they have made
for house rent during the period
the mill has been running, will
be unprepared for another start.
Should many wait until the
next few years to buy and build
it will cost several times what
it would cost now to go into the
chicken business. There is as
good opportunity here for any
one with a small capital here
to start in a small way than in
any location for a business of
this sort known.
The dairy business, sheep and
goat raising will amount to an
important industry within the
next five years or so, which will
keep pace as the timber disap­

can be raised in every state in

of a section of this great coun­
try, where it is impossible to
raise chickens.
One good point about chicken
raising, is that one does not

Greetings
We present this, our 1930 circular list of baby chicks, in-
eluding Red Leghorns, White Leghorns, Barred Rocks, and
Rhode Island Reds—four of the leading breeds of chickens.
The I’etl Leghorn is a new breed of Leg­
horn, ant! is a wonderful breed to look at, ap­
pealing to the eye, a breed that produces eggs
in abundance, a breed that dresses finer than
any other variety of Leghorn, and is much
easier yarded. They are simply a vast improve­
ment over any other variety of Leghorn, with
due respect to the good qualities of the others,
these four friends get the finest breed of chick­
en on earth—a breed that has ail the qualities
of the It. I. Ileds and White Leghorns Combined.
I will only have a few baby chicks of the
Red Leghorns to spare next spring, so send in
your orders early.
FLY SPRAY
The White Leghorn needs no recommenda­
tion. only to say that we have as fine a flock
of White Leghorns as there is and the best of
layers of big white eggs. Send in your orders
early for baby chicks.
Our Rarrcd Rocks are of the O. A. C.
strain, and are bred for size, color nnd egg pro­
duction.
Our R. I. Reds are of Oregon stock—the
best obtainable—and are mated up for size,
color and egg production. Get your orders in
early for the variety of baby chicks wanted.

Raising* the Block Average
With the Autoculler
14 4 eggs per year just about feeds the hen.
I’he U. S. average is 120 eggs per hen. That
means that about half of them do not lay enough
eggs io pay their board bill, which cuts off the profit
that the other half would make for their owner, if
they did not have to feed the drones.
Cut out the drones with the Autoculler and make
money in the chicken business.
Say you have 300 layers or ought-to-be layers.
They are averaging ¡20 eggs per hen, and you cull
out the half with the Autoculler that are laying less
than 120, which is not enough to pay feed cost. The
fr ed cost is 144 eggs per year per hen, so you are
losing 24 eggs per hen per year.
By installing the
Autoculler you cull out
the
half that are not laying, which brings the other half
that is laying up to 240 eggs per year oer hen. You
also cut down your feed expenses by half.
Do you know your flock average? How many eggs
each hen in your flock averages during the week, the
month, nnd the year?
Do you know on what hens you are throwing
feed away every time you fill the feed hopper? Does
each hen in your flock average better than 144 eggs
per year or ¡2 eggs per month?
Do you know that to succeed in the chicken bus-
irsess your flock average must be better than
144
eggs per hen each year?
Do you
know that like anv other business it
takes time to build up a profitable poultry business?
Why not start now with the new all-metal Automatic
trap nest described herewith and let them do the work
for you1
While you atttend to other business the Auto­
culler means clean eggs also and will eliminate all
eggs eaten, no broken eggs, it never fails to work.
The Autoculler is made of all-metal, six nests
to a battery. Price $1M per battery of six nests. Noth­
ing to get out of order and never fails to work. Will
soon pay for itself in the saving of feed costs to the
n on-layers.
