Working for eggs means very little
loss and great possibilities of prafits;
sentiment as to color and appearance
of fowl does not count much for prac-
tical purposes. If we are after eggs 1t
paws to go after eggs in businesslike
manner.
Produce eggs rather than broilers
and heavier poultry. The beginner
should avoid the former. and for the
experienced man or woman there IS
less profit in the latter than in eggs.
Breed fowls that produce eggs, and in
view Of the fact that the price ranged
from 25 to soc a dozen in this city in
1909, during which time the supply was
never equal to the demand, this seems
to solve the problem.
Eggs are the most profitable pro-
duct of the poultry plant in many
parts of the northwest In fact l think
we are right when We say that there
is very little profit in either broilers or
the heavier carcass as compared to
eggs Another thing, the egg business
is Che easiest department of the in
dusfry. Working for eggs means very
little loss and great possibilities or
profits person could almost be sure
of a good profit even if no young stock
was raised at all. Pullets, if good ones
are obtainable, could be bought in the
fall to replace the old birds, which in
turn would bring as much almost as
they had cost as pullets when sold. The
more we can cut down this cost the
greater our success.
Broadly speaking, we may say that
eggs are produced with less trouble and
expense than anything else the poul-
tryman handles. With them the cash
returns are steady and sure. The
profits are always in evidence, even
eggs in large quantities it is not ne
cessary to allow large runs with cor
responding amount of wire fencing
The expansive free range is only needed
when the breeders are in use during
the spring work. We believe that
larger egg yields can be obtained
when very small or no runs are used
than when the layers are on open
range. This, of course, means that a
layers necessities, such as green stuff,
meat food of some kind, with a plenti-
fNl supply of grit and shell, must not
BE neglected. Given the proper care,
with well balanced rations, the results
are certain.
The breed one takes up will also
have something to do with ones ulti-

mate success The old idea that
whichever breed one takes a fancy to
will be the best for that persons fu-
ture operations is an erroneous one.
There are breeds for eggs and
breeds for roasters. Study only this,
study the percentages of profits that the
various products will yield. AS rule
most of US prefer the department that
pays best.
1t does not follow that because your
neighbor makes a good profit on his
fancy Brahmas by selling fine speci-
mems at high prices that you can do
the same A practical man wants a
practical hen for practical purposes. 1t
pays him to look over the field well be-
fore taking up the work. Too many
start in haste and as quickly regret.
"Slow and sure" is the only slogan
for the wouldbe poultryman. Once the
his flock duly established, he can de-
velop as rapidly as his profits will al
low. In any state where eggs sell as
high as they do in Washington it seems
that it is very unbusinesslike for any
one to go in for the heavy so-called
utility breed, whether that breed goes
under the name of the great laying
strain or not
If we are after eggs it pays to go af-
ter eggs in a businesslike manner
What we fancy in the way of color afc
general prettiness must not be con-
sidered. The department store is not
necessarily erected on a pretty loca-
ton. 1t goes after trade in a business
way, and the poultryman must do the
same if he seeks the greater success
with his enterprise.

CHICAGO, Feb. Judge Windes

stockholders of the Traders Fire In

went into the hands of a receiver af-

liable for that part of losses there

they should always be of washable ma

Mantel draperies should be as SIM

best to employ.
Piano draperies are also in better
taste when they fall straight and rath-

used it should be stretched rather
tightly across; if a plain fabric, it
must fall in rather loose folds; but not
too full.

Floral Fabrics Popular.

Lately we have had a great affection
for floral fabrics in rather gay tones,
so that it is quite natural that our
present fancies should swing round to
the monotone material for the covering
of chairs and touches and for the man
ufacture of long curtains. So we have
these items made of damask, velvet,
brocade, tapestry, and the various in
expensive productions in cotton and
wool, in soft shades of aluminium gray,
castor or fawn, purple, green, rose,
blue and ivory white, with cushions
to match, embroidered or applique, by
way of relief, with floral sprays, BIRDS
conventional designs, or only a broad
stripe of cretonne or tapestry, set on
with several rows of fine gold braid
couched in position to serve as a Dor
der
These cretOnne stripes must be of q
particularly pleasing designs and col
oring; for curtains they may be set
about six or eight inches from the
edge, or be placed across the bottom

WASHINGTON, Feb. Especial
to the Statesman )-"Listen, now,
boys, while l make my ninety seventh
VOW that l have no intention of re-
situations that have come from my
enemies, the least deserved of all is
that I will surrender when have not
been defeated"
So spoke "Uncle joe But, as ne
spoke, there was a certain merry
twinkle in the eye of the speaker,
which seemed to indicate he either
had his fingers crossed or something
cancelled in his sleeve. And to make
"Uncle joe was speaking the word
was being passed among his friends
that Speaker Cannon will positively
not run again. This is authentic This
rumor carried with it the declaration
that "Uncle joe had decided to
throw his influence to Maria E. Ohm
stead Oh pennsylvania.
Thus the bronzed, picturesque fea-
lures of the 74-year- old speaker, with
mouth gripping at acute angle the
proberbal black stogle, loom on the
political horizon of 1910 as an impene-
trabe sphinx.
What is Uncle Joes' great secret?
This is the vexatious question that is
worrying more than a few politicians
of all parts. VIII Uncle Joe resign
or won't he retire? Is he to be an
issue in the approaching congressional
campaigns, or isn't he to be- 1t is as
plain as day that someone has been
crossing the wires on the public. The
result is that the situation as con-
Germs Uncle Joe" and the speaker
ship is nothing if nol chaotic. And
what is more. none Of the reaction
aries seem to be the least DIT anxious
ject Uncle Joe" goes on repeating
he will not retire, with sly grin for
each repeat, while the speakers
stool pigeons continue the monotonous
chant: Uncle Joe will not run
again; this is authentic! Uncle Joe
will not run again; this is authentic"
Uncle Joe" does not expect to sue
coed himself as speaker. But he does
not expect to be deposect or defeated
by republicans. Speaker Cannon has
seen the handwriting on the wall, and
is satisfied that the next house of rep
resentatives will have a democratic
majority. Speaker Cannon's own
word is the authority for this state
ment Not long since, while riding on
a pullman, the speaker was overheard
by the wife of prominent republican
insurgent who was sitting on a seat
opposite him, to express the opinion
that regardless of whether the new
tariff law was a good one or a bad
one, the people were averse to it, and
that the republicans must temporar-
lily lose control of the house.
This statement of the speakers, if
you will turn it over a few times and
examine closely, is the milk in the
Uncle Joe"-speakership cocoanuti
If the next house is democratic, and
a democratic speaker is elected, it will
not be a personal defeat for Uncle
joe" but a party defeat. But should
Speaker Cannon admit now that he
will not try to succeed himself, il
would be an undeniable admission of
personal defeat at the hands of re-
publicans, and would be so hearlded
before the country. Such a blow

Taft Is Improved.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 1.-The con-

the president, who is in a hospital in
this city suffering with erysipelas, is
greatly improved tonight
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1910-02-02

If ever a woman who loves her home
longs for the purse of Fortunatus. it is
assuredly at the time she wanders
through an establishment devoted to
the sale of furnishing fabrics, the
names of which are legion, and the at
fractions thereof truly great.
In the days of our ancestors, when
velvet and brocade were the only pur-
chases for the mighty, and dimity and
chintz for the lowly, the question OF
choice must have been a comparatively
simple matter; but nowadays furnish
ing fabrics are as varied as dress ma
terials and the temptation to buy Law
ishly even if beyond her means, is a
sore trial to the housewife, who takes a
pride in her home.
And, strange to say, though the
choice is so large and varied, the cost
of many most delectable specimens of
the weaver's art is surprisingly small,
and those who are on strict economy
bent may run through a range of who'll
ly desirable fabrics which are quite
cheap while those with we'll filled
purses may be as extravagant as they
will, and yet the furnishings of each
house may be perfection itself.
1t is a general rule that where a flor
al or highly ornamental wall paper is
employed the draperies should be Of
self-colored design or plain materials,
though occasionally a fabric in a stripe
of contrasting color produces a very
satisfactory result
We have also to remember that floral
chintz and cretOnne and tapestries
combining several colors should be Sc
lected for room with self-colored
walls or a paper of convenient design
in a Self-tint.
