Poultry Droppings as Fertilizer.

writer in the Practical Poultry
Journal in discussing the care of and
manurial value of poultry droppings,
says:
I'VE usually make it a practice to
scatter a little fine ground land plaster
on our dropping boards, clean out the
houses once a week, and scatter the
droppings over the garden land as we
take them from the houses, and this
plan is practiced extensively on many
large plants the droppings being
spread as gathered. There is, of course,
some loss of fertilizing elements when
used this way, but as a rule, the drop
pings are plentiful, and it is the most
convenient way to dispose of them.
The losses are more than offset by the
saving of labor and storage space. For
the droppings which you have accumu-
lated it will be we'll to mix them with
fine loan to which has been added q
quantity of fine ground land plaster,
and mix this with an equal bulk of the
poultry droppings, mixing same thor
oughly together. Heap them up in
shed or other place where the drop
pings can be kept dry and turn them
over until they are quite fine. If the
mixture is too dry. wet it down with
water occasionally, then spread on the
land the same as you would other
manure.
Our own practice is to use plain
super-phosphate (dissolved phosphate
rock or acid phosphate) quite freely on
the dropping boards. A small quantity
of this might with great advantage,
be scattered over the roosts and boards
and other places where soiled by drop
pings, every morning. or every other
morning. At this time of the year
we try to clean out the house or houses

as top dressing next to the rows of
celery, cabbage and caulifiower. These
dressings, must, of course, be light,
and may be stirred in and mixed with
the surface soil by means of cultivator
and hoe. The effect is often magical.
When We have more droppings than
we can use at once, then we mix them
with some good loan, and store in bar
rels, or boxes. But they should be
kept slightly moist, and shoveled over
from time to time, and, of course, al
ways protected from rains or leakage.
In that case they will make very rich
and valuable fertilizer for any garden
crop"

Mating the Breeding Pens.
(Russell Candy

In selecting birds for the breeding
pen l have come to the conclusion that
it pays to select the layers. l am not
prepared to say that they should be of
the typical (wedge) shape, which has
been suggested, but they should be
layers. That is what is wanted, as well
as markings, and if there is milk
type in COWS there surely ought to be
an egg type in hens. Whatever the
shape, it stands pOultrymen in hand
to make as good selections among the
best layers as possible to breed, as
well as for the purpose of supplying
eggs for the trade and for the market.
Other things being equal, the hen that
lays the greatest number of eggs is
the best hen for the breeding pen, and
there is a possibility that breeder of
pure bred poultry In mating his pens
may lose sight of some of the really
valuable points in his poultry in or
der to get certain color of feathers
on certain parts of the body. 1t has
been charged, and truly too, that some
breeders of cattle have lost sight OF
dairy qualities of some breeds in en-
deavoring to get a certain shaped horn
or uniform color. Those that lose
sight of the egg-laying qualities when
mating up their pens are usually per-
sons breeding for exhibition purposes
alone and as there are no prizes of
fered for egg records, they do not care
to compete for them The farmer who
obtains his breeding stock from breed
ers of this kind will usually regret
that he did so. He is liable to join

may be right in making this decla-
ration.
| am a breeder of pure bred poultry.
and do not believe in scrub poultry at
all | am free to say, however, that
some scrubs will do more along certain
lines than some pure breds, because OF
lack of selection in strains adapted to
a certain line of market products. Fea-
Their markings are all right and we
should look after them, but what do
they amount to if the bird which has
perfect markings will not produce
good market fowl or a good egg layer?
Fortunately there are breeders among
us who never lose sight of the practi-
cal qualities which they know will
make their fowl of two-fold value as
compared with those bred for eXhi-
bition purposes alone. 1t is not
difficult matter for breeders to keep
the practical qualities of their fowls
developed in a satisfactory degree and
at the same time not interfere with
their usefulness as exhibition birds.
A breeder who aims to have his birds
excel in both respects always has sale

The Seattle Poultry Show.

The Seattle poultry show is in pro-
gress as The Ranch goes to press with
this issue The show is held on the
top floor of the big department store
the Bon Marche-where there is no
unnecessary croWding. the show room
is kept clean and we'll lighted and the
crowds find everything nice and com
Portable. There is no admission fee
charged, for which the public has the
management of the Bon Marche to
thank More than 500 coops of birds
are on exhibition and the attendance
is very good. Quite number of sales
of birds have been closed during the
show
There is one thing noticeably absent,
i. e., the advertising that every eXhib-
itor should make of his name and place
of business. Although the awards were
made early in the week, the closing
of the show finds numbers of coOps
without single line showing who bred
the birds in them, where he might be
found in case a purchase of birds is
desired what strains particular birds
may be, etc. Poultry shows are held
to enable breeders to bring their birds
before the people, but how are the
people to know who owns the birds
if they are not told? A few of the eX-
hibiters were enterprising enough to
have large quantities of business cards
printed and kept on hand where their
birds were quartered-and we noticed
that these pens had the largest crowds
in front of them while those pens
without cards, placardS, or anything to
show ownership were passed by in sill
ence. Among those who did every
thing to let the public know, through
the medium of cards or printed litera-
ture, we can mention Fred A. Johnson,
Tacoma; Black Bros, COupeville; Fitz-
herbert Leather, Ballard; G. G. Keil,
Coupeville; Miller Bros, Fernhill J.
l.. Anderson, Seattle; Ware & DIESEL
lem, Kennewick; Nils Anderson, Seat
tle A. B. Cowan, North Yakima, and
several others. These are the breed
ers who carry off most of the prizes,
and they will Go the larger amount of
business with prospective buyers who
visited the show-all for the simple
reason that they believe in advertising
their birds and their places of bust
ness thoroughly.
In the room in which the poultry
show was held there was also a fine
exhibit Of apples and other fruits
raised in the Kittitas valley-the only
exhibit of the kind made in conjunc-
ton with the chicken show. Several
makes of incubators, brooders, grit
machines, drinking fountains and other
poultry supplies, including poultry
foods, were also exhibited. The Chas.
II. Lilly Co. had fine exhibit of their
various stock and poultry foods, lice
and insect killers, etc.
