The size of the runway or yard
about the poultry house can be de-
cided in accordance with the space
you have to spare. This can be built
as plain and cheap as desirable. The
cheapest construction would be of IL
inch barn boards, which should be
stripped on the outside; better con-
struction, regular siding nailed on the
upright pieces, with single roof,
the cheaper construction roof to be
covered over with barn boards and
tar paper. If the ground is dry, with

the building from the ground and fill
in with soil, or put in a cement floor
and lay boards on top. of the cement.

BANTAMS FOR PROFIT.
The Breeds Which Command Atten.
ton and are Well to Consider
When Buying.

Bantams, II properly managed, pay
without doubt, but the amount of ami
NAL profit. derived from them differs
greatly with regard to the variety you
keep. First of all it is imperative
that you select one of the most popu>
lar varieties, and in addition select
the best specimens you can find of
that variety Today one of the most
popular breeds, says the Ohio Farmer,
Is the Black Rosecomb. AS the name
implies, this breed is all black, and
the feathers should bear nice green
sheen, and the comb, with a nice
leader Or spike behind. The legs
should be black, the lobes snowy
white and round. The cock should
weigh about 20 ounces and the hen
about l6 ounces. The more feather
they carry the better. The cock
should have very full feathered tail.
with an abundance of side hangers,
and long sickle feathers as broad as
possible.
The next breed to claim attention,
Is the pretty little Scotch Grey. This
breed of Bantams bids fair, in the
near future, to become one of the
most popular varieties. 1t was for
merry known as the clean-legged
CUCKOO. 1t is most hardy variety.
ana the eggs, as rule, are quite fer
tile. The size should be the same as
the Black Rosecomb, but the color
should be exactly the same as the
Scotch Grey fowl; single comb. red
lopes, with clear white or notified
legs. In breeding this variety about
one-thlrd of the chickens come out
plack, and strange as it may seem
these black chickens are Invariably
pullets. They are no good for show
ana should be killed or retained to
mate with light-shade cockerel.
Inc Modern Black Red is one of
the most popular varieties to-day. and
l nave known of a specimen selling
IN England about eight years ago for
$3.50; but it is declining in favor. maxi
Ing room for the more popular strains
u variety Bantams. AS the reader
may know, Bantams are subdivided
INTO two great divisions, Game Ban
tams and Variety Bantams, and again
these are divided into numerous
breeds.
Inc Modern Duckwing is a very
attractive variety, but the demand for
IL is not so great as for some of the
other varieties. And it should be-
borne in mind that the variety that
pays best is the one that is most pop-
ular. AS table birds, Bantams are. of
course, no good, but the profit de-
rived from keeping them is made by
selling eggs for incubation. Keep the
best and then you will not regret hay-
ing started Bantam breeding. It is
Just the same with Bantams as with
any other class of stock on the farm.
the better your stock is, the greater
Will be the demand for what you wish
to sell.

Messrs. Floyd and Ross Bailey
were visitors from the Mountain

Your correspondent has not had the
time to do much writing these days,
owing to being busy on the hay baler,
but the little rain that we had has

Hop picking has been progressing

FRUIT GROWERS TO
HOLD MEETING
Will Meet Saturday. Septsmbr 22
to Take Steps to Have State
Law Enforced.

A meeting of the Grants Pass Fruit
Growers Association will be held at
the Courier Office on Saturday, Sep
tember 20, at 80 p m Every mem
Der of the Association is expected to
be present as there are several matters
Of Importance to be acted on. The
meeting will be open to all fruit
growers and every person who has an
orchard, even of but dozen trees, is
invited and expected to be present.
One of the principal matters for
action will be the adopting of petit
tion to the county court asking for the
appointment of county fruit in
spector and the recommending of a
suitable person for the position, to
enforce the new state law that makes
it obligatory on all owners of diseased
fruit trees to either free them of pests
or destroy them under penalty of it
being done by the inspector and the
cost becoming lean upon the land.
AS every fruit tree owner will be
forced to spray and as the first spray
ing will have to be done SO soon as
the leaves are off the trees spray ma
terial will be in demand and the
union will supply it at cost to all
fruit growers in order to assist them
in cleaning up their orchards. All
who will require spray material will
be expected to give in at this meeting
the amount they will require.
1t being impossible to rent suit-
able warehouse in Grants Pass in
which to handle this years crop of
apples it is necessary that the Associa.
tion build a warehouse. At the forth
coming meeting this matter will be
considered and arrangements made to
secure suitable grounds and the erect
ion of the building. As this will
require legal organization to
properly carry on the business of the
Association and enable funds to be
secured with which to pay for the
warehouse and fitting it up it will be
necessary to incorporate.
In order to have basis on which to
negotiate with dealers for the pur-
chase of the apple crop it is expected
that every farmer, who will ship
through the Association, will submit
at the meeting to be held next Satur.
day careful estimate of the first
grade apples in his orchard. AS there
Is likelihood of there being cider
and vinegar factory erected in Grants
Pass this Fall an estimate is wanted
of the non on-shipping apples and also of
pears and prunes.
The success of the Association
means the placing of the fruit in
dustry of this section of Rogue River
Valley on profitable basis. To
that end it is to the interest of
both farmers and business men to aid
the organization all possible in its
efforts to get the pests eradicated from
the orchards of this section and of SO.
curing better market facilities and
better prices for fruit.
