Go After Railroads.

At the present time many great rail-
roads are seeking terminals on the
Pacific coast. Some have already Sc
cured them, and others are coming.
Walla Walla city, the center of the
wealth of wheat o. the valley and it's
fine fruit and vegetable productions,
city, and will grow with the state of
Washington. How can Walla Walla,
where millions of dollars concentrate
yearly from wheat production, fail to
be a rich inland city, without being on
a main line of railroad to the Pacific?
But why should this rich country and
city remain ON a branch only?
Put this city on a main line to Seat
tie and in five years after construction
she would jump to $4,000 population.
Now, this is my suggestion to the
business men of this city: Raise a
subcidy now. The railroads are NOV
ing and laying out lines to the Pacific.
Let at least 100000 be offered to the
road that will come here. Not only
would that sum be an inducement, but
to raise that sum would show that the
people Of this city and valley would
patronize it after construction. I have
today only one small place in this
city, although an addition honors my
name, yet 1 would give for such a sub
sidy $3.50. I believe action, money,
will put Walla Walla on a main line to
Seattle And on such a line the val
ues of walla walla city would. advance
500 per cent.

Poultry Fattening.

The American Agriculturist tells OF
a method Of crate fattening chickens
which is being adopted in various parts
Of the country.
ate-fattening of market chickens,
which has recently made substantial
progress in Canada, can be carried on
with profit by almost any farmer, says
F. c. Elford Of the Ontario experiment
station. The work is simple; each
chicken gains in live weight one and
one-half to three pounds, and can be
sold for much higher price than lean
chickens, because they supply, weight
for weight, three times as much edible
meat and Of superior quality The
breast meat is the most pa1a'lable part
Of the chicken, hence 1arge-framed
chickens with prominent breast bones
cannot be satisfactorily fattened. The
legs, largely composed of sinews, the
meat of which is inferior, should form
as small a proportion of the weight
as pracl1cable. Feathers on the legs
are an objection, also black or dark
colored shanks and any development of
the spur in cockerels.
The color is secured by feeding
mashes, composed mainly of ground
oats and skim milk Smallness of
bone, head and comb, and minimum
Of ofal, are important requirements.
Plump chickens of any weight up to
five pounds dressed, each, are more
readily disposed of than large fatted
chickens; four pounds is the preferred
weight. Early chickens should be
marketed either as broilers, weighing
one to one and one-half pounds each,

Baby Chickens in Demand.

The Indianapolis News tells of a
new branch of the chicken industry,
which is, selling very young chicks to
be used instead Of squads. Between
the using Of young guineas for quail
and young chicks for squads, those
who dine at restaurants will not know
what they are getting when they order
meal.
If chickens could talk a great outcry
of indignation would be heard from the
poultry yards in the East. They have
good grounds for protest, for if the
industry succeeds and spreads over the
country, the lives Of a vast majority
Of the chickens would be curtailed to
the limit of about six weeks.
The industry is perhaps due to the
TACT that the present demand for squads
is ahead Of the supply. A substitute
was needed and some one hit upon the
idea Of serving baby chickens in place
Of the latter. 1t is alleged that the
consumer can't tell the difference, and
it is even said that the young chickens
are more tender and superior in flavor
Some declare them the greatest delica-

only cuts down the expense of feeding
to a figure far below the usual cost,
but in an equal proportion curtails the
danger of loss from accident or disease.
There are other advantages so obvious
as to need no mention, and all things
considered, it looks as if the new in
dustry has big possibilities.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1906-11-28

We have inquired at this season of
the year as to how the spring chicks
can be developed little faster, so as
to get the pullets to laying before
cold weather sets in. Also by breed
ers who are wanting to exhibit their
stock at the fall and early winter
shows.
There is nothing that will do bet
ter service for the above purpose
than green cut bone fresh from the
butchers block.
It develops as nothing else will
that we have ever tried. First, it
should be fresh. Second, it should be
fed sparingly at first, until the chicks
become accustomed to it's use. Third,
after one commences with it, it should
be fed with a certain degree Of regular
ity until it is stopped entirely. It
is worth so much to develop the young
stock, and also to bring the old hens
out of a slow moult, that it is worth
the while to go to some expense and
trouble to obtain it. Some of our
enterprising meat markets own and
operate green bone cutters and sell
the prepared bone fresh to their Gus
toners at from two and one-half to
three cents per pound. This makes a
very convenient way for those who are
within reach of such market Other
wise it is advisable to purchase a mill
Of your own of size suited to the de-
mands of your flock. Get your bones
and have them ground at home at
least three times a week. A smaller
quantity each day world be better.
Ground bone is not luxury but you
will find it saves just that much
moneys worth in feed. Now then in
the absence Of any feasible way to
supply the fresh bone, the next best
thing would be dried beef scraps, which
can be procured Of almost any dealer
in poultry supplies in the principal
cities 1t costs from three to three and
a half cents a pound by the hundred,
and is a very desirable substitute for
the green bone. It has it's advantages
in being put up in shape to keep
any reasonable length Of time, and does
not have to be fed with so much care.
However, it does not contain the rich
feeding value Of the former. Breeders
who are going to exhibit their stock
should by all means feed the green
bone for a few days or weeks to give
their stock. that bright plumage SO
much desired in the show room.

cy that ever tick1ed the human palate
Be this as it may, the new industry is
gaining great Roadway and eastern
hotel and restaurant men are offering
high prices for baby chickens. At
present the demand is far ahead of the
supply, for the simple reason that very
few poultry breeders are aware that
such demand exists. Western poul-
try breeders are yet in ignorance OF
the new industry, which may in the end
revolutionize the entire chicken bust
ness.
Whether it will interfere with the
SQUAD industry cannot yet be told.
The very fact that chickens are being
substituted for squads shows how
great is the demand for the latter. It
may be remembered that the SQUAD
industry owes its origin to the scarcity
of quails. When the quail supply failed
squads were substituted, and now when
l1IC uCHldl1u I'LL IllC ldllCl ID dllSdu VI
the supply, baby chickens are pushed
into the breach. If the new chicken
business succeeds as we'll as the squads
there is no telling what may be used
when the substitute for chicks is de-
manded.
The poultry yards where the baby
chickens are raised for market re-
semble squad farms in the manner of
construction. Woven wire fences are
used and the whole business is con-
Quoted inside an inclosure of this kind,
the chicks not being permitted to roam
about in the old-fashioned way. The
feed is the same as that given to chick
ems destined to live longer life, but
is more plentiful, as the object is to
fatten them as much as possible at an
early age. All are raised in incubators
and the Matching is so timed that a
new brood is turned out every day in
the month. This is made necessary
by the market demand. The buyers
demand that certain number be fur
nished regularly every day, and make
contracts with the chicken raisers to
this effect The fact that it is rather
difficult to furnish a given number daily
owing to the possibility Of disease,
accident or the like is one OF the few
drawbacks to the business.
AS soon as the chicks are Matched
they are taken from the incubator and
carried to the pens or yards. Each
group has a separate yard in which is
a brood house. kept warm by means Of
a lighted lamp inside. Each yard is
surrounded by q woven wire fence,
which is SO arranged that it may be
thrown open when it is desired that
all the chickens should run together.
Around the small yards is high wire
fence surrounding all the pens to pro-
tect the chickens from danger Of rats
or proving animals When the chick
ems are large enough to grow feathers,
OF about six weeks old, they are put
in boxes and sold alive to hotels and
restaurants. 1t is usual for the owner
to have a contract with a particular
buyer, who generally agrees to take
all that he can produce It can be

Fresh Cut Green Bone.

fowls have free range It is important
tc provide some substitute. A cores
pondent, of the Inland Poultry Journal,
recommends cut green bone as follows:
Great as are the product of hens,
they may be largely increased by pro-
per system of feeding
Students of the flood problem have
discovered that certain foods can be
depended upon to produce equally as
good results in fowls as in animals.
By series Of experiments it has
been discovered that the feeding OF
green cut bone increases the production
Of eggs. Different parts OF ordinary
market bones upon analysis were found
to contain in abundance, the ingredi-
ents Of which go to make up the grow
ing chick, and in wonderfully close
proportions the different parts Of the
complete egg.
The lean meat and gristle form the
white of the egg and about Is per cent
Of the yolk. The marrow and other
fat on the bones supply the remainder
Of the yolk, while the lime phosphates
in the bone yield all the necessary lime
salts for the shell and the requisite
phosphate for the interior OF the egg.
But it is not enough that a given
food contains certain desirable proper
ties. Its food value depends upon
the power Of assimilation by the con-
sumner. Practical experience has prov
ed that the gristle, blood, fat and bone,
all Of which goes to make up green
BONE is in the very best possible form
to be easily digested and thoroughly
assimilated by poultry.
Green bones can be obtained from
butchers at from one-ha1f to one cent
per pound, although in many country
markets they may be had for the ask
ing Cutting them is matter OF time
and labor, depending wholly upon the
number Of fowls to be fed, as the in
vention and use OF green bone cutters
has greatly simplihed the preparation
of this food
Poultry folk differ as to method
and quantity of feeding green bone.
Personally we prefer to feed as a
separate ration After becoming &C
customed to this food one pound per
dozen hens once day is the allowance
at Snowbird poultry yards.
Compared with other foods we con-
slider green bone the cheapest for the
results accruing from it's use of any
one food, nearly doubling Gas it does)
the amount Of eggs and very materially
increasing their fertility, besides pro-
ducing better plumage and maintaining
a more healthful condition of the fowls
so fed
Therefore, whether from a desire to
increase the vigor Of the fowl or devel-
op it's reproducing qualities, we can
most heartily recommend the use Of
green bone for practical experience as
we'll as science and chemistry have
undisputedly demonstrated that the
component parts Of it's structure afford
the highest degree Of nutriment and
sustenance for poultry.
