years past the United States govern

age, and each year thousands of tons
of timothy, alfalfa and wheat hay is
shipped from Ellensburg to Uncle
Sam. Timothy lay yields from two

acre per crop, and sells at prices
ranging from 80 to Sl5 per ton.
Wheat hay sells from So to S12 per ton.

value and the revenue derived from
ten or twenty acre tract is surprising
to the most credulons. 1t is no un
common occurrence to the orchardist
around Ellensburg to reap a harvest
OF ten boxs of, apples from tree. and
as there are generally from sixty to
seventy trees to the acre, the yield of
from 800 to 700 boxes per acre and
selling at prices ranging from 81 80 to
49, 90 per box, brings astonishing re-
turns to the owner.
The question has ofttimes been asked
"Can one make living off his tract
of ten or twenty acres while the or
chard is growing into bearing?" We
answer eyes" Any thrifty farmer
or orchardist who is not afraid to
work can make good living and save
money by planting potatoes onions
carrots and other vegetables between
the rows of fruit trees. These yield
large crops and the market prices are
on the average exceptionally good.
Then one can raise poultry-a Eusi-
ness which is not only profitable but
pleasant. Eggs never fall below TWEEN =

the winter months attains the high

Poultry always commands high
prices in our home maIkets.

Of POULTRY
DR.. L. L. Taylor Will publish
each week a few helpful
hints to poultry ralsers.

To manage a number of sitting
hens is likely to be a great deal
of trouble. True with fowls of
the sitting breeds. many of the
difficulties commonly met with
can be avoided. In the first
place, it is important to careful
ly select the hens. Not all hens
even of the breeds supposed to
sit are good sitters. The hen
should he of quiet disposition,
in fair condition. The b o d y
should feel hot underneath, and
no hen should be taken that will
not allow person to handle her
freely. at least after dark. Sit
ting hens should be provided with
a room by themselves away
from the laying stock to
get the best results. The nests
should be of good size and only
Just high enough in front to re
tain the nesting material. There
should be kept a busting box in
the room where the hens are sit
ting so that they can take plenty
of dust baths. If sitting in a
room with board floor, use nests
with bottoms in them; if on an
earthen floor, bottomless nests
). are better. If nest with a bot
tom is used, it is desirable to
, place some dirt in the bottom of
, the nest with a little straw or
fine hay on top of the dirt. If
the nests are covered it is advis-
able to place dirt on top of the
covering also. 1t will be found
most convenient to set a number
of hens at the same time, and
> the eggs should be tested after
, about five days and if many are
| found infertile, some of the hens
may be reset on fresh eggs.
; Method of testing eggs to tell
whether they are fertile. Use
a box in which good, clear
lamp is placed. Cut a hole in
the box as near the size and
shape of an egg as possible. In
testing, the egg is to be held
close to this hole so that all light
which finds its way out of the
box must pass through the egg.
Eggs which are fertile will be
found to have a dark spot in
them near the end, and if the
shell is not thick and if incuba-
ton is well started, blood vessels
radiating from this spot can be
distinguished. Eggs which are
not fertile will appear perfectly
clear and if removed as early as
the fifth day can be used for
other purposes.) In sitting
| hens it is better to move them
from their accustomed nest to
the new one at night and no
lantern should be used if posi-
bic to get along without one.
The hen should be kept fastened
for a day or two at least, and if
many sitters are kept in the
same room it is best to keep
them closed in the nests all the
time except when you feed
them which shoulp be done sew
eral times a day. They should
be fed on whole wheat or corn
and given plenty of fresh water
and grit. When taken from the
nests they should not be allowed
to remain off over twenty min
utes unless the weather is warm.
Chilling the eggs during the Sec
ond week of incubation is less
injurious than any other time
during the period Of incubation.
