Egg and Poultry Raising a Science.

Although this country is consi dered
great corn growing one, it is nevertheless
true that the combined poultry and egg
products exceed the entire corn crop OF
the country by several millions of dollars.
The poultry industry Is scattered over the
country in such a way as to escape the
notice of many, but statistics show that
the egg and poultry industry combined
fiuctuates between five and six hundred
millions of dollars annually. Such enor-
nous sums seem large for this BUSH
ness, but official publications show
that they are nevertheless true. On most
farms the poultry does not receive the
care and attention that the other animals
do, and thus the average products OF the
egg industry arekept down by this care
lessness A hen in her wild state Will
not lay one-half the number of eggs that
one will that is properly cared for and
fed Besides this the hen that is not given
proper attention will deteriorate so that
the flesh is not good for much for the
table.
Poultry raising for profit has now be-
come science, and the complaints that
raising them does not pay are due to the
fact that such people have not yet acquired
the science The industry can only be
made profitable where it is studied the
same as breeding animals. A great many
farmers acknowledge that it does not pay
to raise poultry, but just for the sake
of fresh eggs and good chicken meat
occasionally they will permit few
to run about the farm. To my think
ing this is a mistake. 1t would not
cost much more to keep first-class breeds
and then see that they were kept from de-
generating. A hen to be profitable must
lay 200 eggs in year. and if she does rot
come up TO this mark she should be dis
posed OF, and others put in her place.
Every one of the flock should be brought
up to this standard of egg-laying, and
then flock of fifty hens would be worth
something. As it is. many of the tlocks
have drones and dead weights, which
do not come up to more than
one-quarter of this standard. Out
of a flock of 800 only about fifty will be
fit for breeding purposes. A great many
will lay only every other day, and such
birds are not tit for breeding purposes.
They will produce young ones that will
lay only every other day. and a hen that
does not lay every day should not be kept.
She will not prove profitable. 1t is by the
application of such rigid rules of wedding
out Improbable hens that the business
can be made profitable. Love for certain
hens and sentiment should not be allowed
a voice in the matter, for it is pure bust
ness transaction with the farmer.

Laying Down Peach Trees.

Tying up the peach trees in evergreen
boughs does not protect them sufficiently
from severe winter weather, and, though
it may mitigate the evil little, it does not
in ordinarily cold winters save the trees.
This and similar methods have been tried
in different sections of the West, but so
far the best results have been obtained
from laying down the trees. This can be
done with ease and profit, and by its pro-
tectlve results even tender varieties of the
peach may be grown.
The method of dong this is to remove
the earth on the north and south sides of
the tree, and to cut the larger roots on
these two sides near the base The roots
on the other sides are left undisturbed so
far as possible. The tree is then inclined
toward the ground carefully, twisting and
breaking as few of the roots in the ground
as possible. When bent sufficiently,
forked stakes are driven into the ground
and hooked on the limbs so as to
keep the tree in position. The earth is
then heaped over the roots and trunk of
the tree until they are pretty well pro-
tected. The entire tree is then covered
with hay, straw, or whatever is at hand.
Peaches obtained from these trees are
very fine, and the yield good. The cost of
laying them down is not great. while the
profit on each tree is often from 81 to 81.
So far this is the best method for protect
ing the peach trees in this state.

A CHANCE FOR STAMP VENDORS.
native paper says that the number OF old
issue postage stamps not at present in use, in
the hands OF the department OF communica-
lions is OF over thirty varieties and l., SO 800 in
number. OF these the largest quantity are
sen stamps and the smallest the hiyaknm0n, mi
hiyakumon, and the shij -haehimon. This opens
a chance to stamp collectors TO obtain some
very old and rare kinds, of which they will no
doubt avail themselves.

Mr.. H. A. Wise Wood, vice president of the
Campbell Printing Press Company, of New
York, is at the Rainier hotel with his wife, on
his way home from a trip to Japan. He said
last night: 81 found the japanese E,ost ingeni-
Gus people, and clever imitators beyond any
thing that you would imagine. We cannot sell
many machines there, because as soon as the
japanese get one they duplicate it exactly No
foreigner can get patent to prevent this dupi-
cation. For instance, saw an English machine
and beside il one made in Japan. The latter
was identical, even to the flaws in the casting
and the slight bend of an iron rod evidently
the result OF blow in transit. They manage
machines of all kinds perfectly. What printing
presses they buy abroad come from Germany as
rule, for the Germans can undersell us in that
market"

THE TARIFF ON TIN PLATE.
London 'Times" Foresees Destruction of
the Great Welsh Monopoly.


KRuNzBAcH, Germany, July 7, 1891.
To THE EDITOR: inclose you clipping from
the London Times of June %, that may be of
some interest 10 the students OF the Mckinley
bill. 1t has been so often dinned in our ears by
our Democratic friends that the above men
toned measure was the petard by which our
national prosperity was TO be hoisted, that 1t is
rather refreshing to quote them VIGOROUSLY
Tree trade paper anent an industry which, untn
the tariff legislation of the last congress took Ell
feet, found no footing on American soil. refer
to the tin plate trade, which effects TO quite
degree, the people OF Washington engaged in the
canning industry. Comments on the article are
hardly necessary, but l would call attention
specially to the section in which the total trans
Ter OF heretofore close monopoly from England
TO America is predicted. In the last paragraph,
the writer, being, no doubt, ignorant OF our con-
tract-lAbor laws, has erred: but from converse
tons with prominent owners of tin mines and
manufacturers of plate, am convinced that IN
the balance OF the article he has correctly stated
the position OF affairs This result is directly at
tributable to the Mckinley bill, and when that
much maligned measure is properly understood,
our people will recognize the benefits that it
WILL not only contribute to, but directly eonter
