MAKING MONEY WITH SQUADS
Largest Pigeon Farm In World Turns
Out 25o,oo0 Birds Every Year
Much Work Required.

Travellers approaching Los Angeles
from the north are astonished some
times at seeing from the car win
dows fiocks of pigeons numbering
many thousands just on the outskirts
of the Angel City. These belong to
the worlds largest pigeon farm, own
ed by T. R. Johnson, and justly
considered one of the show places
of southern California. Merely as a
curiosity it ranks with the alligator
farm, the numerous ostrich farms and
similar freak establishments.
The pigeon farm consists of about
eight acres of sandy, gravelly land
along the bed of the Los Angeles
rivera river only by courtesy dur
ing the long, dry summer months,

GENERAL FARM NOTES,

When the crust forms after rain
stir the SOIL
Don't let the COWS or young things
lose in condition now.
Bank up the old barns to shut out
the cold wind under the floors.
Do not waste feed on a COW that is
not returning a profit Oh the food she
eats.
Hogs properly sheltered will thrive
on much less feed than those exposed
to cold.
Don't condemn her if you are only
giving her enough feed to keep life in
her body.
The first test to be given a new
workman on the farm is to send him
out with a team.
Alfalfa hay and corn have been
found to be a most satisfactory fatten-
ing feed for hogs.
Alfalfa in young orchard would be
all right if grown only beyond the
reach of the tree roots.
The whole secret of profit in poul-
try culture is in following natures
way in the care of the stock.
1t is the height of folly to think
that hog can live for any length of
time or even fatten without water.
If the food is allowed to sour in the
troughs, it will throw the hogs off feed.
This will check growth, and Is a loss.
Hogs that have died from the chol-
era should be Immediately burned or
buried deeply and covered with quick
lime.
Unless a hen has a great value as
a breeder or as a mother it is well to
let her go to the dressed poultry mar
ket after her third year.
The waterglass method of preser-
wing eggs is considered by the majori-
ty of poultrymen who have tried it the
most satisfactory of any
With good corn ensilage and clover
or alfalfa hay, and homegrown grains,
with perhaps some wheat bran and
oil-meal added, a fine profit can be
made from herd of good dairy cows.
The manure from a herd of cows
properly saved and applied, will each
year enable the dairyman to raise
larger amounts of forage and grain.
The better the cows, the greater ths
profit.

STORE UP WINTER MOISTURE
Sufficient Water for Crops Assured by
Deep Flowing In Fall to Absorb
Rains and Snow

Doubtless many a Minnesota farm
son, as he witnessed the destruction
or curtailment of his crops by the
long-continued drought What a fine
thing an irrigating plant would have
been this year," A few horticulturists
and market gardeners in this state
have already installed such plants, and
others are planning to do so, says a
writer in the Northwestern Agricultur-
ist "By use Of pumps and windmills
or gasoline motors, many small pieces
of land can be supplied with water.
On many farms, small streams, lakes
or swamps are so situated that their
waters can easily be turned upon the
land for irrigating purposes. These
methods of helping nature to help it.
self have long since been learned by
the settlers Of the semi-arid regions Of
the west, where the irrigated lands are
now the most highly productive of all
lands" But the farmer to whom such
sources Of water supply are not yet
available may, if he will, bottle up"
such a quantity Of water, just under
the surface Of his land-by plowing it
deeply in the fall so that it will absorb
all the rains and melted SHOWS, and
then cultivating so as to keep it COW
cred with a dust mulch-as to assure
a sufficiency of moisture for his crops
This is the whole secret of so-called
dry farming" which is in reality only

Food havors the egg.

Food havors the egg.
Dry houses prevent roup.
Too much raw meat produces
worms.
The first essential in the production
of eggs is the health of the hens.
Poor drainage in the chicken yard
always results in unhealthy birds.
Feeding cannot be properly regu-
lated when a mixed flock of large and
small fowls are kept.
The orchard is splendid place for
poultry to range in. Poultry is a
very good insect destroyer
1t would be good thing to move
the poultry yards occasionally giving
the hens new, clean grounds to live
on.
With young chicks there is as much
danger of oVerfeeding as underfeed-
ing. Feed often and regularly, in
stead of too much at one time.
The south slope of hill makes a
splendid location for poultry house.
The north and west sides are nat
urally protected from the cold winds.
In some places chickens are pur-
chased, confined and finished for mar
ket on milk and ground feeds. the
milk constituting the larger portion
of the diet.
Save all the grain, such as kaffir,
milo, sorghum, broom corn seed. mil
let seed, ETC., for poultry. 1t is oft
en- difficult to get variety of food for
fowls during winter.

when it becomes practically a mere
rivulet The farm was established
about ten years ago on compare
lively small scale; but the venture
proved so profitable that the owner
developed the business along lines
such as have marked the growth of
other great modern industries, until
he claims to now have more than
100000 fully grown pigeons in his
establishment, not to mention tens of
thousands of squads. Any one ques-
tioning the accuracy of the figures has
the privilege of counting. AS mat
ter of fact, the estimate probably is
many thousands below the actual
number
The object Of this vast pigeon breed
ing establishment is the production
of squads. At the present time about
40 dozen squads are killed and sent
to market every day; but a little later
much greater, so that the annual
SQUAD crop from this one establish
ment is about 250,000. These sell at
anywhere from $3.50 up to 81 per
dozen depending upon the time of
year,, and it is evident that the in
come from the mammoth pigeon farm
foots up to very tidy sum annually.
However. this Is not all velvet" by
any means. The birds consume be-
tween two and three tons of grain
every day and the labor of looking
after them. keeping the buildings
clean and sanitary, and killing and
preparing the squads for market is not
a trifiing matter
