BIG POULTRY PLANT NEAR KENT.
wASHINGTON

One of the largest poultry plants in
western Washington and what promises
to be one of the largest in the Pacific
northwest has been established by
Ponssen Bros, Inc, one mile south of
Kent, Washington. The new firm, which
consists of Joseph H. Ponssen, the
father, and Philip F. and John H. Pons-
sen, the sons, is incorporated for $780,
600. The plant is situated on eight
acres of fine valley land large por-
ton Of which is in apple orchard. The
firm will raise Barred Plymouth Rocks
and White Leghorns exclusively and
plan to develop some very fine speci-
mems of these breeds.
The members of the firm came to
Washington from Cleveland, Ohio,
where they conducted a similar bust
ness, and they took possession of their
present property March LIST, since which
time they have made wonderful pro-
gress. Among other buildings which
they have already built is a fine barn,
a breeding house $50 feet long with
runs rs feet long on one side and 80
feet on the other These runs are Of
a uniform width of eight feet. The
rooms in the breeding house are by
IA feet. Two brooder houses have
been erected, Ia by so feet, with 40
foot runs, and material is being placed
on the grounds at present for two more
brooder houses IS by SO feet, and for
three laying houses Alexis feet.
The firm have in operation at the
present time six incubators with a COM
bined capacity of 1862 eggs and have
ordered twelve more incubators of the
504 egg size. Five breeders are already
in operation, and as soon as present
plans are completed there will be
twenty brooders operating in all. Work
is also progressing on fine residence
with a cement incubator cellar under
meath.
Everything is arranged for the ut
most convenience and for operation on
large scale. Water is piped all over
the grounds and through the buildings,
and the structures are all commodious
in size and pleasingly arranged. Provi-
sions have been made for the purchase
of feed in carload lots and everything
else will be conducted on a similar lib
eral scale. The Hopper system of feed
ing is used entirely.

be included in the running expenses.
But in many cooperative creameries
the hauling of ice, butter and supplies

purpose to see that each patron does

The Men Behind the Cows.

Too many men behind the COWS are
really poor judges of cows from the
dairy standpoint. Else they would not
continue year after year to keep the
kind Of cows they do. There is great
awakening among them. however, as
to the value Of better blood and more
intelligent methods of developing the
dairy cow. But the great majority of
farmers, however. still breed cows with
out wise understanding of what they
are doing It is a difficult thing to
find in very many neighborhoods one
farmer who has been pursuing for years
steadfast grading up of his cows with
clear judgment Of what he wants
There are thousands who keep cows, but
how many are there who rise to the
full power and scope Of their place and
develop cows
Yet the light is breaking fast into the
minds of farmers on this question. They
are beginning to see that there are two
prime factors that lie under the making
of a dairy cow-breed and feed Neither
will take the place Of the other. OF
the two, the breeding factor is much
the more difficult to comprehend and
control. The average farmer is mighty
in cross-breeding, and as a consequence
his herd is a hodge-podge. The wise
breeder keeps within the line of estab-
lished prepotencies and develops what
he wants by uniting agreeing, not dis
a agreeing, traits and tendencies.
