The Development of the Poultry Business in
the Northwest
he Northwest
BY H. L. Blanchard.

1t is very gratifying to note that
the development of the poultry indus
try of the Northwest is fully keeping
pace with that of the many other in
dustries. The writer has just returned
from the work as lecturer at series
of travelling dairy schools and farmers
Institutes which had been held over
a section of the state traversed by
him in a like capacity four or five
years ago, and it is safe to say that
the growth of the poultry business is
far out of proportion to the increase
in population. We believe it to be
a very conservative statement when
we say that there must be twenty
people giving poultry special atten-
ton and intelligent care to where
there was one person SO doing eight
years ago; also that there are no
less than one thousand hens now in
the fiocks to where there were one
hundred hens five years ago, and yet
we notice the markets are expanding
and prices of poultry products climb
ing every year. We are no nearer sup
plying the markets with local poultry
products than we were several years
ago, and yet, we believe that the con-
dition is healthy one, Offering every
encouragement to those now engaged
in the business or who are contem-
plating so doing.
1t is quite noticeable, also, that while
all are doing fairly well with their
poultry, some there are who are max
ing almost phenomenal success with
theirs.
To the student in the business, the
caring of a few hens with profitable
returns, soon becomes an easy mat
ter. but often this is not so, as the
flock begins to multiply in numbers
several times. The writer feels war
ranted in making the observation that,
as in other business matters, every
person possesses a certain capacity
for the poultry business, which ranges
all the way from to 80 points, with
100 points representing the highest at
atinments possible. 1t is not always
the person who possesses the great
est business capacity, generally speak
ing, who gets the best results from
poultry. Rather, it is the one who
has good common sense, coupled with
grit and perseverance, who recognizes
the great essential of close attention
to details. carried out Systematically
one year with another. For instance,
we feel very certain that in the mat
ter of making up the breeding pens,
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1907-11-15

as many if not more mistakes are
made than in any other detail of the
work. This should be wisely done in
order to maintain or improve the lay
ing quality of our flocks.
Often, too, the ration being feed may
not be Objectionable, while the sys-
tenn of feeding may be all wrong. Suf-
ficient green stuff and scratching ma
terial are too often lacking. Also
fresh water Carbolineum for the
under side of the roosts and the in
side of the nest boxes, is rarely found
being used, and consequently vermin
get possession, and the poultry bust
ness suffers.

Poultry to be profitable must be
managed with an eye to the small
economics. One of the economies is
to feed them as largely as possible
from such foods as would otherwise
be wasted.

and careing for them. When attend

it had better he given up, for neglect
soon follows.
All hens that can not be depended

needed as brOilers should be fattened
and sold before cold weather. They
will make way with grain rapidly after
the green food is gone and will return

Look out for roup during the change
able and rainy weather of autumn.
Dampness, filth, and impure food all
contribute to cause it. Arrange to let
the sunlight in the coops and keep the
floor dry and the chickens will thrive.
Use plenty of whitewaSh and put it
on hot. 1t gives a neat and clean ap-
pearance to the poultry houses and
renders the interior light and cheerful.

The best layers are those that are
active and forage well and this is just
opposite of the requisites necessary
for a market fowl which should take
on flesh rapidly. Each breed pos
sesses some characteristic dominant
trait in which it excels and it can
not we'll be changed to an all-purpose
breed, but is there any necessity for
it as there are so many excellent
breeds to select from?
