1t ought not to be necessary to call
attention to one failure to raise healthy
chicks. The presence of one dead chick
in the coop with hen and brood or In
the hover chamber of the modern brood
er may retard the growth of the birds
if it does not lead to positive disease.
The man who cannot examine his coops
and brooders morning and night ought
not to raise a chick the coming spring.
1t takes very few hours for a dead chick
in such warm place to decay and fill
the air with odors disgusting and un-
healthy. Chickens seldom eat the dead
fiesh. else we should see more causes
of limber-neck in young stock An OBJ
serving poultryman will notice the all
ing chicks and remove them before they
are likely to die. A sick chick is poor
property, seldom worth doctoring. Keep
the chicks well'' is worth more as ad-
vice than all the cures and remedies that
we ever publish in our question depart
ment, says the Poultry Keeper.
A successful breeder goes on record
as follows:
1.-THE average poultry keeper seldom
realizes that in order to know just what
causes certain results 1t is first neces-
sary to eliminate every factor that could
not have caused them. If we have left
more than one factor that might have
caused the results we cannot get down

in the food or they are laid by over-fat
hens and are expelled before the shell
is complete. Keep the eggs where the
temperature is as even as possible. IL
should not exceed 70 degrees. Excess OF
warmth Injuries the germ more than
cold does The proper position Is with
the small end down, as this Will keep
the yolk in place. If eggs are placed
side down and are kept In this position
for any length of time without turning
the yolk will sometimes be found at
tached to the shell. Eggs should not be
kept over two weeks IL they are to be
shipped or used in incubators. When
Matching with hens conditions are better
and one need not be quite so particular
Eggs Of different breeds should not be
Matched together, as the difference in
time of Matching will necessitate the re-
moval of the first chicks while the others
are Matching, or leave them in the in
cupator which will do them much harm.
Plymouth Rocks and Wyandottes are
nearly one day longer in Matching than
Leghorns and Minorcas are several hours
longer Matching than Leghorns. while
Brahmas and Langshans are twenty
four hours longer in emerging from the
shell than Plymouth Rocks. Duck eggs
should be incubated by themselves, as
they require more moisture than hen
eggs. and it is not desirable to hatch
different kinds together"
-
An advocate of green bone feeding as
an egg-producer says in the Reliable
Poultry Journal:
! 1--WE all knew that hens lay more free
ly in spring and summer when eggs are
cheap than in winter when the price is
away up. We also know that in spring
and summer when worms and bugs,
beetles and insects are plentiful the hens
get. lots of animal food, and this animal
food is found by analysis to contain
exactly the very elements that go to
make the eggs. In winter there are no
bugs and worms or beetles and the hens
are deprived of the food that was SO
rich in egg-making material and conse-
ouently they lay fewer and fewer eggs
| Just at the time when eggs are wanted
most and bring the highest prices. we
| all know that all animal life is the same,
the bones or framework to support the
| body, the lime to make the bones and
| muscles and the blood vessels that carry
the life-giving agencies are the same In
the beetle or bug, the tiny mouse, the

| it is not feasible to buy beef and mutton
to provide the animal food for our hens

BIG TRACTS
WILL PLANT PATTON RANCH
TO FRUITS
Enterprise Contemplates the Trans
formation of $4,000 Arid Acres
Into Ranches Supplied with
Abundant Water

The Riverside Development company
will subdivide the large Patton ranch at
West Riverside, recently purchased. 1t
will be put on the market in five and ten
acre tracts and multiples thereof
The Patton ranch is said to be as beau
tiful piece of orange land as lies out OF
doors, having a gentle slope toward the
south and a southerly exposure 1t has a
right to $50 inches of water in the West
Riverside ditch under gravity flow, and
experts declare it has underlying 1t strata
of water-bearing gravel.
1t is proposed eventually to plant be-
tween 300 and 400 acres to lemons. Some
of the choicest lemons are grown in the
immediate vicinity.
The property will be known as Glenn
Avon Heights There is canal running
all around the tract in which there Is a
constant flow of $50 inches.
The Mojave Development company, OF
which c. l.. Johnson. H. j. Dubois and
several others well known to Riverside
are the moving spirits, has in hand a
tremendous enterprise in the great Mojave
desert the enterprise being the transfor-
nation of 900 acres of that arid country
into ranches that will be supplied with
abundant water and which will grow any
thing.
The tract of land which is being put into
shape is located within few miles OF
Victorville near two transcontinental
lines of railroad and within close call OF
the third, the Salt Lake line, which pro-
poses to build its own line across the
desert at an early date The land is just
as fertile as any other desert land, and
the promoters claim that with water this
land will grow abundant crops of grain,
hay and fruits. They refer to the vast
and productive Imperial and Coachella
valleys of this end of the state as an evil
dence that the Mojave desert will do what
they claim for it.
The company has 1900 acres of land
now under cultivation or being put In
shape for cultivation.
The land is level, but sloping slightly
from the mountains, and is covered with
ereasewood and sage brush. 1t is said
to hold moisture very well, and If treated
with the Campbell system of dry farming
should produce abundant crops of de-
ciduous fruits, grapes, nuts and the like

on a Rhlne Steamboat

casted hills.

must be to have this splendor at ones very ell
bow. Living in West Eighty-seventh street
may be luxurious in its way. but 1 tell you
there is an air CT poace about this place that
we haven't got"
His gaze fastened uLon a tall man in plaid
ulster who was sitting by. Remarkng
upon his appearance he said:
lone thing the men know over here; they
know how to live. Look at that middle-aged
fellow. The very picture of health. No pale
faced nervousness about him. His every line
tetokens tranquility of life that is way be-

to one factor until we have sufficient
knowledge of the case in question to
enable us to eliminate each and every
factor but one.
"a great deal of our positive proof
proves absolutely nothing. We would
more often realize that were human life
or liberty to be decided by the evidence.
When a certain thing always produces
a certain result and that result is never
obtained when that thing is absent, we
have proof"
Mrs. Layson in the Petaluma Poultry
Journal makes the following points on
Matching:
"A vigorous bird may /be mated with
twenty-five hens when belonging to the
Mediterranean class and fifteen hens
when of the American class. Results
will be more even than when two males
are used With the same number of hens
in the same yard. When male acts
viciously toward one of his mates it is
most always a hen that is not laying.
When she resumes laying she will re-
ceive her due share of attention. Other
wise she may be changed to some other
yard instead of changing the males. Let
there be as little change and friction
as possible in the breeding yard.
I'm feeding so as to maintain the
health of the fowls one is also feeding
for high fertility. When eggs hatch
we'll and chicks are strong it is the best
evidence that the fowls are fed right and
are being properly cared for.
1.-THE less relation there is between the
male and his mates the better will be
the result, other conditions being the
same. Choose health and vitality in a
bird before pedigree.
'In selecting eggs for Matching discard
rough-shelled eggs and thin-shelled ones.
Thin shells are caused by lack of lime

Experto Are Confident That an Under.
ground Stream Has Been Tapped
Beneath Little San Cor
gonlo Creek

Directly resulting from the high esteem
in which Beaumont lands are held by
poultry farmers, deciduous fruit raisers
and vineyardists the demand for acreage
and lots has steadily increased and the
Beaumont Land and Water company re-
ports sales since December of $n,OOo,
making an aggregate of over $4,000.
Foremost among the recent transactions
was the sale to w. ]. Baker, poultry fan
cier, formerly of Springfield, Mass. of
7h acres for $500, upon which model
poultry establishment will be Immediate
ly installed Mr.. Baker has organized the
Beaumont poultry farms and will con-
tract to completely equip for other
ranches similar to his own.
Grape growers from Fresno are begin
ming to show much interest in the lands
adjoining the Beaumont townsite on the
east where the company has square
mile of level land, and William Merkel
of Lodi CAL, has bought lots / and 2,
section IL, six acres, for 1855 to plant
vines William L. Perry also took forty
acres for a stated consideration of $4,000,
while Philo r. Davidson bought 2.lo
acres with a frontage of GAO feet on the
oiled road. These purchases are believed
to be the nucleus of vine growing col
ony, producing table wine and raisin
grapes, all of which, and particularly the
flaming Tokays, thrive at Beaumont.
Likewise the building movement is be-
ginning to keep pace with the sales Of
property. w. H. Hibbard has started
five houses g. w. Kimball has completed
a cottage; John Fitzpatrick will soon oc-
cupy a new five-room bungalow, and bids
are being received by Mrs. 8. r. Bettis
for three-store business block.
More Pipe Laid
King & Bryant of Pasadena have COM
menced work on unit No. 2 of the Beau
mont water system consisting of half
million gallon reservoir, nearly a mile of
Pinch pipe and a large intake dam.
Both contractors have acquired fifteen
acres of fruit land for $4,000 and will per-
manently locate in Beaumont.
Mary Fraser Baker has purchased lot
l, block 81, GIT acres, for $500, and will
plant an orchard of deciduous fruits.
Charles Laffoon will erect a modern bar
Der shop on East Fifth street. ]. H.
Mosher has bought lot 6, block 10, and en-
tered the boot and shoe business. w. j.
Dwyer bought lot 2, block 1893, acres, for
fruit ranch.
Buildings for the Beaumont Nursery
company conducted by Prof D. c. Bur-
son, tree expert formerly of Pasadena,
are about completed, and many purchas-
ers Of acreage have already contracted to
have orchards planted.
Much greater growth for Beaumont is
sure to follow the great development of
water on the company's land, north of
town, where a. drilled we'll has reached
157 feet. Experts headed by George o,
Newman and L.. C. Preston confidently
state that an underground stream. flow
ing beneath the bed of the Little San
Gorgonic creek has been tapped, this con-
clusion being backed by the fact that
the watershed is over fifteen miles and
that the waters have their source in the
SHOWS of Grayback mountain, 12OOO feet
high.
