POULTRY RECORDS

When Rev. J. H. Wood returned
from Carson to the ranch, he de-
cided to go into thorobred poultry
raising and altho he had raised
chickens but never had any system.
He secured copy of a book pub
lished last year by man named
Philo and outlined a system of
poultry culture bv forcing in the
feeding called the 'Philo" system.
This he largely followed and Sc
cured results which even the found
er of the system refused to credit.
Mr.. Wood secured Rhode
Island Red Eggs from DeSellem's
Crescent Poultry Ranch and hatch
ed the chickens last January Sd.
From this brood which developed
rapidly he sold 'broilers along in
March before, anyone thought Of
having young young fries and they
weighed pounds each. But his
record was on the laying of the
seven pn1lets~ which he saved from
the brood. They began, laying -on
the day they were I months and 6
days old and in the "a days until.
they were five months old they laid.
80 eggs. Their record day was
when they laid seven eggs contain.
ing II yolks. Double and even
triple yolk eggs were frequently laid
by these pullets but the above is
their best single day. The same
system was tried on Barred Ply
mouth Rocks pullets, breed that
natures more slowly and begins
laying comparatively late and the
Barred Rock pullets began laying
on the very day they were FIVE
months old.

M0TTINGER RANCH
FURNISHES EXHIBITS

u. II. Mottinger, last week sent
another shipment of orchard and
farm products to the Benton Coun-
ty booth for exhibition. In the
fruits he sent some very large apples
OF the Lady Martha variety. which
he developed and named himself
They are very large and exceeding
ly fine for cooking, as we can per.
sonally testify as we were favored
with a couple of them and the two
alone made large quantity of fine
apple sauce. Several of the larger
ones sent on to the Fair weighed 2S
ounces. Bartlett Pears ripe enough
Tor shipment, some Italian and Sill
yer prunes were also included and
as a fruit curiosity, some wild plums
such as grow along the creeks in the
East. These trees were grown from
plum pits sent out from Iowa and
planted on the ranch. In addition
to the fruits Mr.. Mottinger sent two
varieties Of ripe field corn of this
season crop. One was the Yellow
dent corn called pride of the
North" and the other, the Yellow
Flint Or Yankee corn. All these
were picked and prepared for ship
ment on August 10th. On account
of their early arrival they will at
tract much attention and will be
not only an excellent advertisement
for the Mottinger Ranch as an evi-
dence Of his skill as an orchardist,
but will also boost US along as they
are marked "Grown by G.. H. Mot
finger, Mottinger, Wash. near Ken
newick." Benton county is keeping
up an excellent standard in the
quality and variety Of exhibits in
her booth. Franklin county is the

presented in the Agricultural build
ing.

The walls and roof arc clean and
hecement comes high enough to
make tight joint with the boards
Of the roof SO that it is impossible
fol anthing to get into the water
from the outside. There was about
three and a half feet of water in
the reservoir and when the man
hole in the roof was opened the
bottom could be easily seen. Water
vas dipped from the top with a
pail and found to be all right for

The Mayor will see that the hud-
rants are flushed more frequent dur

seved that the water supply will be
found satisfactory and sanitary in
every way. When We consider the

WHAT THE LORD DID FOR HIM

Senator II. L. Taylor of Tennessee
was speaking in the senate:
Our country has been decimated
by war. humiliated by reconstruction
and weighed down by the highest
tariff taxation this world has ever
known. and we were in bad plight.
We are in the condition of the good
old praying member of the church
who was afflicted all at once with
every disease in the catalogue. He
had rheumatism and aneurism and
curvature of the spine, and was fin
ally stricken with paralysis; but af-
ter months of suffering he got better
and went shambling one evening to
prayer meeting. The old preacher
rose and said: Now brethren.
want us to have good time here
tonight. | want every one of you to
get up and tell what the Lord has
done for you. There is Brother
Jones. God bless him; he has been
afflicted and hasn't been with us for
many months. Brother Jones. get up
and tell us what the Lord has done
for you
Brother Jones arose and hobbled
out in the aisle and said: Well. he's

SENATOR BROWN AROUSED.

Washington. July 27.-"Utterly ri

way Senator Brown of Nebraska has
characterized the income tax utter
ance OF Justice Brewer in a recent
speech at Milwaukee.
Justice Brewers statement that
under national income tax states
would be taxed out of their vital
ity' was what aroused the senator.
who introduced the first resolution
TO refer the question to the legisla-
lures.
Under no circumstances would
the proposed amendment to the con-
stltution give the federal government
power to tax any state out of either
existence or Vitality he said. The
tax would be laid under the pronosed
amendment on the incomes of the

HARVESTING BUMPER CROPS.

When one of the fruit districts tha'
dot the western slope alone calls for
1000 cars to load with its product
this season, the public gets something
OF an idea of the magnitude of the
crop that is now being and yet to be
harvested in the state. Paonia. al
though one of the richest. is not the
biggest of the fruit sections: yet its
first big estimate of 500 car loads
of marketable fruit has had to be re-
vised and an order placed for a third
as many more cars.
In all of the orchard districts the
same story is told Palisade is start
ing its peaches to market and can
see that it will be the biggest crop
ever gathered. All kinds of fruits
are scheduled for bumper Yields and
the quality was never finer. The
alarm over early frosts had its part
in urging closer care of the trees
but. with no more disastrous results
than can come from having more
fruit than can well be taken care of.
Everybody will have to lend a hand
to get the crop picked and of to mar
ket, and il will be busy times in the
western slope valleys up to frost
The farming sections are repeating
the story of busy times and big har-
vests. The state has never seen such
crops. Alfalfa stacks are already
towering over the fields and the cut
ting is not half begun. Wheat has
been taking care of that record price
matter and the yield is enormous in
all sections. The beets are coming
along in way to promise more than
an average tonnage in spite of the
poor start due to the early cold
weather Every factory will have all
II can do to make up the sugar in the
fall.
Colorado has not been exactly
waiting for this heavy harvest; but
II has been recognized all along that
big one would add materially to the
general prosperity. and now that one
exceeding all expectations is under
way IL is certain that the business
of the whole state is going to prof;
handsomely. Once these crops are
under cover or on their way to mar
ket the business world is going to
feel boom such as 1t has not known
in years. The building operations
in the cities and towns will get go
ing again as never before. the land
selling viii break out under fresh
impetus and the ditch builders and
openers of new areas take on new
enthusiasm. There is busy year
ahead and good times for everybody.
