Matched you can now make maj
choice of those to be kept to head the

erel pick bird with good sized
frame. and the bird that will look
lust right when fully matured and
filled out should at this stage of his
growth present a rangy and gawKy
appearance. The bird that when hall
grown has the symmetry and com
pactness of an adult bird will not
look right when fully matured but
will be 'tubby' and "sawed oft' In
appearance. Courage and vlgor are
it's all important features. Choose
bird that does not run from you In
panic but merely sidesteps and hangs
around you, and when you catch and
hold him he should look squarely at
and not away from you. Comb and
wattles should be good size and the
eve should be bright and flaming,
implacable and defiant. And the
cockerel that calls and talks and
chuckles most of the time is almost
invariably the best breeding bird.
Don't select males of excessive size
unless your females are understood
and you want to correct that fault.
Fowls of the weight called for by the
Standard are the best and in breeds
not required by Standard to have
certain weight the medium sized fowl
will be found to be the most vigorous
and productive. A breeding male
should have strong thick shanks-set
we'll apart not "knock-kneed' and
should be full of fight and ginger at
all times.

MUST BE A MISTAKE

Our attention has been called to
the practice of the Poultry Depart
ment of the Experiment Stations,
selling day-old chicks in competition
with individual breeders. Complaint
has been made by some breeders in
this section that the station at Puyal
lup has entered the business on a
large scale, as the following extract
from a clipping shows: "Orders for
5000 day-old chicks for laying pur-
poses have been received and they are
being filed as rapidly as possible. "
We do not think the state intended
to enter the poultry business in COM

The Seattle King County Poultry
Association promises to do some
thing for the farmers and real chick
en- raisers at it's next show, which
will open on Dec. II. The show
officials are not quite ready with the
details yet but they say that there
will be lot of features, never before
seen at a coast show, that will wake
up the poultry raisers to man and
bring them all to the show as visitors
or exhibitors. We hope the show will
make good it's promises. Heretofore
the only recognition given the useful
utility poultry gent at shows, has
been can of lice paint, or some
thing else equally valuable, as prize
for the handsomest dozen of eggs.
Strangely enough, even thrilling con-
tests of this kind have failed to bring
the farmer into the game to any no.
ticeable extent, and the fancier con-
tinues to monopolize the shows,
which. if they are ever to prove OF
real benefit to the poultry industry,
must be made equally attractive to
all classes of poultry raisers. The
Seattle Poultry Association is indeed
to be congratulated if it succeeds in
doing this and we await the event
with interest and will be ready with
our little need of praise if it sue
ceeds-make a note of the date and
attend.

Arranging for Poultry Show.

Charleston, Aug. 20.-The Asotin
County Poultry Association is busy
arranging for the poultry show at the
coming lewiston Charleston fair. 1t
will be necessary this year to seek

last year. There IS some talk of OBJ
tanning a tent that will accommodate

1t is pleasant to note the success of
the room brooder in this section.
Though this method of rearing chicks
originated in Petaluma, California,
The Ranch was the first paper in the
United States to feature it and bring
it prominently to the attention of
poultry raisers. And it has made
good. Several of these rooms are in
successful operation within two miles
of The Ranch Office and many more
will be installed next season, one man
having ordered five of the burners.
The Ranch is proud of being the
sponsor of the greatest improvement
ever made in poultry raising, and
though it's advocacy of this discovery
cost it more than one fat brooder ad.

when it considers the great benefits

eral, but when we hear that baby
chicks are being sold at 10 cents each
by the hundred or thousand at the
Puyallup station, it looks as though
the state is really in the business.
Inasmuch as these institutions are
maintained by public taxation, it
would seem that the man who owns
his poultry plant and is paying mon
ey for advertising his own stock and
taxes towards the maintenance of
the experiment station is being
"double crossed While it is the
province of the experiment stations
to seek to improve in their special
lines, we question the propriety of
them entering the business as COM
petitors. Pacific Poultryman..
We have generally found the Poul-
tryman to be very accurate in all its
statements; but in this instance we
feel assured that it is entirely wrong,
and believe that the statement which
we reprint above is without founda-
ton in fact. The assertion that state
institution of this kind has engaged
in a commercial enterprise land at
cut rates too, and is spending the
money of the taxpayers in such fash
ion, is too prepos ferrous to be believ-
ed and we trust that Prof. Blanch-
ard, who is in charge of the poultry
department of the experiment station,
will come forward and administer a
we'll merited rebuke to the Poultry
mans editor.
1t is now time to get busy with the
big fall white washing job. A good
job of cleaning should be done before
the pullets are brought into their
winter quarters. Thirty pounds of
lime to so gallon barrel of whitewash
is a good proportion. To make good
whitewaSh it is necessary to have
good, bright lime which slakes read
lily. When a gallon of crude carbolic
acid is added to barrel of whitewash
and the latter applied hot and with a
good pressure it is pretty sure to put
all the vermin out of business. 1t is
advisable, however, to saturate the
walls near the roost, and the roost
and dropping boards, also the nests
from time to time with coal oil to
which has been added per cent of
crude carbolic. Distillate is as good
as coal oil for this purpose and is
considerably cheaper.
