~ says:
"There has been no time in the his
tory OF California when the prospects
and conditions SO far In advance were
MS favorable for big state fair the
following year as they are now for the
fair of 1908. Already six counties and
fourteen firms or individuals hnve made
formal application for exhibit space or
stall room for next year, and quite
number of representative bodies have
notified the secretary of the appoint
mcnt of committees to consider the
matter of preparing good exhibit
from their respective communities for
the state fair Of 1908, with the view OF
utilizing IL, or part of 1t, at the Alaska
YuiSon-Pacifc exposition, to be held at
Seatt;e in 1909.

The pivotal point of success or failure
as 1t meets the California farmer and
fruit grower Is and has been the manacles
placed on them by the railroads in the
matter of transportation. and particularly

Ter OF certain individuals and combines
Pendng cases in court and indictments
returned by grand iurles promise check
on these extortions from helpless men, and
better day for the California farmer,
and for his eastern brother is dawning.
SaddlGd with tho many and perplexing
problems of soil. water and cultivation,
and the strife for early and seasonable
markets, IT would seem the tiller of the
soil had his hands full. Add to these
trials the exacting and arbitrary acts of
the railroads, and the tillers cup of mis-
cry is filled.
The fact that the Santa re and South
err Pacific control transportation to
eastern markets has been the cause of tll
the trouble. but the present action OF the
interstate commerce commissioners will
result in relieving this real oppression
ard freeing the farmers and fruit growers
from the trials of yeara; giving an added
impetus to the increasing of acreage and
insuring better financial returns.

In fattening fowls 1t is necessary to
know the influence of feed on the system,
because If this is not known and pro-
vided for there Is probability that mis-
takes will be made, or that the best re-
suits will not be obtained. 1t is possible
to add greatly to the weight of fowls by
feeding food that Is rich in carbohy-
drates, like corn, but the results are ofter
unsatisfactory. The oily, yellow fat pro-
duced by feeding corn is Objectionable IN
appearance, and If bird so fatted Is
roasted a greater part of it is lost in the
dripping pan. 1t is not thought desirable
to add fat to tho system beyond certain

Cross breeding may have decided
potency to increase or restore vigor with
some classes of live stock, but that by no
means proves that the same practice is
ever necessary with fowls. There is
doubtless as much difference in the blood
Of two birds of one breed as birds are
commonly bred, as there Is in two birds
of different breeds, so far as vigor is
concerned.
When new blood is needed it is best to
obtain 1t strictly within the breed and
variety. Coming from another strain" or
another stock, the cross will be sufficient

chances for Improvement in laying pow

The amount Of exercise required de-
pends greatly on the breed and the con-
dition of the fowls. Overfat fowls should
be compelled to work for all the food
they get until reduced to reasonable con-
dition. Thin fowls should not be COM
PEELED to scratch much for their food.
Fowls that are dumplsh should have
green food and be compelled to exercise.

for exercise. In close confinement some

Poultry raisers OF California, where
wheat is raised and the summers are dry
and long, will find 1t an excellent plan
to put up pile of headed or reaped
grain for the hens to pick out for them
selves. They can be kept busy this way
all summer long and with the addition
of light, daily mash containing two
parts bran, one part middlings and one
part meat meal. the very best results
will be obtained. This is much more
satisfactory than the hopper method of
feeding, All who follow the plan testify
that it is in every way q most successful
method of feeding saving labor and in
ducing the heaviest egg yield.
Poultry yards, when they become bar
ren, soon become tainted and unhealthy

O PEAKING editorially of the recent
annual election of officers of the
~ American Poultry association, at
which no resident of California received
recognition, the current number of Poul-
try says:
1--WE have a letter from a valued friend
who says California members are feeling
that they have been turned down by the
association through the political deals
perpetrated in the recent election. We
shall not discuss this matter at this time,
although it is one of great interest to
u.s. as we were selected to attend to the
interests of the association in California
during the ensuing year, and want the
members who have homes in that state
to feel that our interests are theirs.
1--WE are perfectly free to say that
California should have been given a rep
resentative on the executive board Few
people recognize the fact that California
is the second state in size among the
sisterhood of states. The area of Cali
fornia is as large as that of Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts,,
Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York,
New Jersey and Ohio combined. This
is an imperial domain, more perfectly
adapted to the poultry business In every
part than any other similar area in the
Union. 1t has every advantage and fewer
of the disadvantages that obstruct the
work of poultry breeders than any other
part of the country. 1t contains large
number of enterprising and enthusiastic
fanciers, whose interests should have
been given more consideration than they
received in the late election"

1t is we'll to allow each laying hen to

larged markets and installation Of irri-
cation have combined to develop intensive
farming, or to produce all the possbili-
ties Of the land. AS an evidence Of re-
suits of this new cult the following from
Kings county is pertinent:
D. l.. Henley's twenty-five acres of
Muscat vines brought the owner $4,000 in
gold coin for the fruit on the vines, the

stiffening of prices for good land have
served to stimulate this industry, and
with the bugbear of the railroads with
their extortionate charges out OF the way
there isEa bright prospect before the mon
who till the soil in Southern California.
The great Imperial valley region and
the thousands of acres to be reached by
water from the Owens river conduit Will
add largely to the product and raise the
total income from the field and orchard
to an enormous figure.

hens hen," and so long as she is alive
will lay eggs. They make the hen to
roost in trees or some old shed, where all
her vitality goes to keep alive. Sell off
the drones.
Give your hens nice, warm, comfort
able, clean place to roost. If you want
eggs soley, invest in some frst-class
stock of an egg-producing breed. Then,
with a reasonable amount of attention
and with a regular supply of feed, you
will be amply repaid for your investment.
Furthermore, you will get real pleasure
out of your poultry and likely enough
will soon be an enthusiastic fancier.

Where many fowls are yarded, either
for market or fancy breeding, good
plan is to have the yards on each side of
lane and the houses in the lane. Thus
Los Angeles herald., 1907-11-17

season the flock will do as we'll as on
fresh yards and their eggs hatch well
and strong If properly mated.
If turkey hen is strong and healthy
she may be kept for eight years. They
usually hold their own for four or five
years; after this they do not lay quite
SO many eggs, but poults from such hens
are stronger and larger than from young
hens. 1t is a great mistake many breed
ers make in selling off their old hens and
44eeping young ones.
