Demand for Poultry Increasing.

There does not seem to be any
danger of an over supply OF poultry
or eggs. In all the years that we
have lived in this state, we have
never known eggs to hold up in price
as they have during the past year.
That this is not simply local con-
dition is shown by the following from
Farm and Home:
The interest in poultry is increas-
ing each day, and what is called the
practical or utility branch of it in
creasing, and must increase to fill the
demand. Who in fifty years ever saw
eggs selling in New England in Octo-
Der at AZ cents per dozen. They will
be so cents in two weeks, while the
average price for 1926 to date has
been "A cents, or four cents above the
average for ten years. What does this
mean? Simply we are behind the
supply about 7 I-2 per cent. Now
what does that mean on $6oo,ooo 900
but that we are behind S4,2oo,ooo OF
keeping up with the growth and de-
mand of the country You chicken
hearted breeder, who thinks the bot
tom is falling out, better hustle and
do your part in more and better
poultry and eggs-the better the pro-
duct the larger grows the demand in
all business and poultry is no excep-
ton.
The early trade for breeding and
exhibition stock is a large increase
upon previous years which bespeaks
larger spring and breeding demand.
This is the way your Uncle Isaac is
today.

How Much Land for a Chicken
Ranch?

A correspondent Of the Petaluma
Poultry Journal answers this question.
The directions or conditions which
will give success in California are
just as good for Florida
We are frequently asked the ques-
ton how much of a ranch is necessary
to carry one thousand hens and what
profits can be made from them, and
you, no doubt, are asked the same
question many times. At Petaluma,
as we all at home we'll know, the poul-
try business has become a science.
1t has passed all experimental stages
and is today as staple an investment
and as sure dividend producer as a
share Of gilt edge bank stock or a
government bond. But all who seek
to go into the poultry business should
know that three features are essen
tial to success; first, location, second,
perseverance, third, cleanliness Peta-
luna has proven itself to be the best
location for the raising of poultry for
profit on the Pacific Coast. The soil,
climate and shipping facilities all con-
spire to make Petaluma famous for
the raising of poultry, and as result
more poultry is raised and shipped
from Petaluma to the markets of the
world, then all the rest of California

Keep Down The Vermin.

One disadvantage Of Our warm eli
mate is the fact that vermin are al
ways troublesome. Still they are not
so numerous in winter as during the
summer. So that now is good time
to get rid of them. A correspondent
Of Successful Farming says:
Begin the work Of destruction be-
fore lice have secured good start.
Have the perches SO arranged that
they don't touch the walls Of the
house at any place. Then the mites,
once they get on, can't get Oft the
perches. Then once a week pour ker-
osene oil over the perches so plen-
tifully that every part is covered.
Pay particular attention to the under
meath not reached by the OIL Any Of
the liquid lice killers advertised will
do the work we'll. Perches should
be movable, so that they can be
taken outside occasionally and thor
oughly scalded with boiling hot wa
ter.
Whitewash the walls of the house
with thick whitewash at least twice
year Keep everything about the
house clean; filth is conducive to
rapid multiplication of the pests. They
multiply rapidly. 1t is said that a
louise Matched today is capable Of be-
ing a grandpa before tomorrow's sun
goes down. If you catch him in his
youth, you'll have to hurry
For body lice, which aren't SO harm
full as the others, use Persian insect
powder. Dust an abundant quantity
thoroughly among the feathers OF
each fowl. Unless the fowls are very
tame, it is best to catch them and
dust after they have gone to roost
It is a tedious, unpleasant task to
handle each separate individual in this
manner, but it is the only satisfactory
way. Repeat the operation every ter
days or two weeks, until you are GER
tain that all have been exterminated

White Holland Turkeys for Small
Farms.

The poultry editor of the Progress
sive Farmer, in answer to a subscrlb-
err, who wanted to know what was the
best breed of turkeys for small
farm says:
Of the four varieties of turkeys
there is none better suited for the
small farm or where neighbors are
close, than the White Holland. This
breed does not grow as large as the
black or bronze, but average, when
properly looked after, very good
size, and their domestic habits are
very much in their favor. They never
wander of, they range and roost
with the chickens and even lay in the
Nemesis April is a good time to
hatch, since, like all turkeys, they
require a long season to hatch, and
the sooner off the better. Young
turkeys require very little feeding,
or I should say, eat very little when
first Matched, and should not be fed
under twenty-four to thirty-six hours
after being Matched.
Ali turkey raisers seem to have
their own ideas as to how best to
feed young poults. When | raised
turkeys I gave each one, as soon as
Matched, a whole grain of black pep
per and sprinkled fine sand on the
floor of the coop, and gave them
nothing else for thirty-six hours. The
first, and in fact all feeds until they
were large enough to take care OF
themselves, consisted of cracked
corn, oats, wheat, millet, cane and
kafir corn seed; and four times a
week meat in some form was given
either prepared beef scraps or fresh
meat from the beef market With
such feed properly prepared one can
raise 90 per cent; but failure will
meet you more than half way if you
try to raise turkeys from late hatch

Best Kind of Cotton.

The curator of the Botanical Gar
den at Palmerston in the northern
territory of South Australia reports:
Last season I had twelve varieties of
cotton under cultivation in the garden

The Sea Island and Egyptian varie-
ties have proven themselves thorough
ly adapted to the soil and climate, and
where such varieties can be success

ties this season.

know a Mr.. King one half mile
west of Petaluma, who has 2 acres.
We sold him the property on which
he raises fruit, vegetables and berries
for his family use and all his green
feed for his poultry, and has less than
one acre fenced off and keeps success
fully the year round 700 laying hens
from which he makes a nice living,
and next year expects to yard off IL
acre more and will keep from 1900 to
1000 hens on his tract and this after
three years experience in the poultry
business.
For four years l have passed nearly
every day place near Penngrove, 5
miles from Petaluma, owned by Mr..
Welt who has four acres and has 1000
laying hens on one acre of ground and
these chickens net him from $I.5o to
$1.oo per hen per year above the cost
of feed We might mention thous-
and instances like this near Petaluma.
We claim that at Petaluma persever-
ance, cleanliness and a properly equip
ped poultry ranch will insure success
and competency for the owner, be it
man or woman. A hen does not re-
quire much ground over which to
roam. Good buildings, ample scratch
ing sheds, clean yards, feed and water,
and success is assured.
The annual income from poultry
and eggs at Petaluma is now over
$I,5oo,ooo and venture to say that
more money is made by those own
ing and operating less than S acres
than by those who own more than S
acres. Two thousand chickens are
all any one man should attempt to
handle alone To keep more than
this number he must have help, either
from his own family Or employ help.
With one additional man another one
thousand or fifteen hundred can be
handled at an additional profit of S1.5o
per hen per year, conservative and
reasonable profit to obtain.
No business, I believe, offers a bet
ter and safer opening today for the
home seeker of small means Or the
refugees from the San Fancisco fire
who have their insurance and money
enough to make a reasonable begin
ming in the poultry business. There is
room at Petaluma for all and no pos
sibility for OVERRIDING the business,
and the results are happy, contented

not true, Petaluma would not boast

this IMPORTANT Enterprise RE.
CEIVES OFFER FOR OUTPUT.
Large Paper Box Company at Los
Angeles Offers to Put Up Bond for
Contract to Take Entire OUTPUT
for Three Years at Market Price.
Success Assured.

The proposition to erect a wood
pulp and paper mill at Aberdeen is
recognized as by far the most impor-
tant enterprise ever put up to the
people of the city, and, we are pleased
to say, the matter is being taken
hold Of with the true Aberdeen spirit
and is sure to result in the establish
ment of an enterprise that will add
several thousand to the population of
the city.
Experienced paper men know the
enterprise will be a large dividend
payer from the start, owing to the
abundance of cheap raw material and
the unlimited demand for the prod
uct, at Eastern prices, plus the
freight from the Eastern paper mill
centers.
Mr.. r. w. Pridham, of the Prid-
ham Paper Box Company, Los Ange-
les, whose firm was anxious to con-
tract for the box board output of the
new mill, arrived in the city Tuesday,
and made Manager Kolts, of the new
| company, an offer to take the entire
product of the mill, box boards, wood
pulp and paper-about 500 tons per
week-and said his concern would
put up bonds in the sum of $4,000
to guarantee that they would pur-
chase the entire product of the mill
for three years at market prices.
Speaking Of paper conditions on
the Coast, Mr.. Pridham said to a
| Herald representative, that his offer
was nothing unusual, but that many
large users of wood pulp products
would be pleased to find an opportu-
nifty to thus insure their supply.
The following recent statement made
by John Norris, of the New York
Times, in illustrating the increased
prices newspapers were subjected to,
will be Of interest to those concerned
in this line of manufacture:
But the increased cost of paper
and the general paper situation are
worrying the newspapers that use
wood pulp paper even more. AS al
ready shown, the cost has gone up
tremendously, and, what is more, the
supply is by no means as abundant.
Almost criminal carelessness in
wrecking forests has depleted the
available supply of timber, and as if
this were not enough, there is a
movement now going on in Canada
to compel the adoption of a stringent
policy of forest preservation and to
exclude American manufacturers of
wood pulp paper"
