the offer of cash and ribbon awards

sisting of one male and from eight to
twelve females, according to the
breed. The fowls in these pens will

wing will be allowed to each fowl
without disqualification. This will
give the practical chicken ranches a
chance to compete with the fanciers
unequal terms, as these fowls will
not have to be as exquisitely groom
ed as the single entries or the usual
pen entries of one male and four
females.
Other new features promised are
exhibits of brooder chicks in both
lamp and fireless brooders; photo
graphs and models OF to- date
poultry plants and equipment and an
information bureau with competent
staff of instructors. These are only a
few of the new and original features
of this great show which is bound to
be a record breaker both in entries
and attendance.
More geese should be raised in this
section Of the country. No other
species of domestic fowl can be raised
with so little trouble and cost when
conditions are at all suitable. OF
course the goose is not a city lot
proposition, nor should it be raised
in the chicken yards anywhere. But
given fair sized chunk of waste
ground, unused pasture or logged-off
land and the geese will thrive and
will find all their own food, though
they may be fed with profit for two
or three weeks before killing. II

A question now worrying lots of
people is-whether il is best to buy a
breeding pen or order Matching eggs
or order day old chicks, in order to
get start in the poultry business
next spring. Several have asked me
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1910-10-15

to decide for them. don't cara to
do that, but will give my opinion on
the respective merits of these PROPOSE
tions. A breeding pen is a good
thing to have for you can see for
yourself il you have good looking,
healthy fowls and having them on
the spot you are assuI ed OF more or
less eggs in better condition for
Matching than eggs sometimes are
that come from distance by express.
But the same money invested in
Matching eggs at one time would give
you a much larger number of eggs to
set than a breeding pen would pro
vide for one setting, and that is
great advantage. Matching eggs are
sometimes damaged in transit, but in
my opinion the number damaged
forms a very small percentage of the
whole. [ think | have evolved
method of packing Matching eggs that
will require some considerable effort
on the part of the eXp1 essman to
break them, but l will reserve the
details of this method until [ have
given it good tryout next spring.
The day old chick business is doubling
every year, and the express mes
sengers seem to handle the little
fellows very carefully. Beginners
who buy day old chicks are saved the
cost of incubators and the risk of loss
in operating SAME, but owing to the
fact that some of the people engaged
in the business are not particularly
skilful, or else are not as we'll equip
ped for Matching as they should be,
good many hard luck stories come to
hand of failures to fulfill contracts
made to supply day olds.

ACTION
PREVENTED AN
AUTO WRECK

Thanks to the sharp eyes and quick
action of Engineer Bert Pitzer yes
terday afternoon, a repetition of the
automobile wreck of July 20 was pre-
vented at the fatal crossing at Bridg-
es' switch.
Denver & Rio Grande train No. Is
was bowling along at good speed at
about pm, when Engineer Pitzer
saw an automobile, with two occu-
pants, approaching the track and ap-
parently oblivious to the approaching
train. He at once shut off steam and
threw on the emergency brakes, thus
bringing the train, to a stop but
short distance from the auto.
The car was occupied by Roy d.
TAFT and his wife, and they had been
following the car driven by NJ. II.
Loeffler for some distance.
Loeffler crossed the track in good
time. but noticed the approaching
train. He stopped his car and tried
to signal to TAFT to stop, but the dust
was too dense for the signals to be
observed and TAFT was almost on
the track when he first noticed the
oncoming train. He iammed the
brake ON hard, and he and his wife
jumped from the auto to place of
saiety Just as the train came TO
stop a few PAGES away.
The brake was driven on so tight
that the engine crew had to assist in
getting the auto away from the rails.
The car had come to a stop only u
foot from the near rail, but close
enough to have been struck and
dashed to fragments had the train
continued on its way.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. TAFT were con-
siderably unstrung when they real
lied the close call they had expert
enced.
