To make agriculture more profit
able, in view of the fact that it does
not generally pay as much on the
investment as other lines of COM
MERGE, President Howard Elliott OF
the Northern Pacific, in recent ad-
dress, advocated the application OF
railroad methods to farming. Rail-
road managers buy cautiously and
test their purchases for quality be-
fore paying for them. He urged
farmers to do the same, instead OF
planting uEtested seed, buying cheap
dairy cattle and clinging to anti
quated ideas of farming. President
Elliott said that the agricultural
colleges OF the Pacific Northwest
were taking the lead in calling at
tention to the needs Of better bust
ness methods in farming.

lied upon. A pullet will usually
begin laying at about six months
of age and keep at it more or less
steadily until she mouths. Thus,
If the chickens are Matched in April
the pullets will begin laying in
October, and as the hens usually
moult in the early fall months.
this will give almost full year of
continual laying. April hatched
chickens begin laying at just the
time the price of eggs goes up in
the fall, and considerable of the
years profit is made during the
winter months when the price of
eggs is highest.
The cost of raising a pullet to
laying age has been estimated at
from 40 to so cents. If the pullet
is sold at the close of her laying year
(that is, when she begins to mouth
she will bring at least so cents for

WHAT INTENSIVE FARMING DOES

Holland supports a population
twelve times as great per acre
as Illinois. and still exports butter
and cheeee to the amount of 81 per
acre.
More than this, the Dutch farm
ers have taken poor, sandy land !,
redeemed from the sea, and made
it worth 81, 900 per acre for farming
purposes. This looks like a fairy
tale to the average American farmer,
who all his years has been running
his land down in fertility. But it
is the truth. These things ought
to convince us, as farmers, how
little we know of what good, first
class handling of the soil really
means. We are as children yet,
wasting our heritage. But here and
there is farmer who is thinking
along these lines. Just now, such
farmers are altogether too far apart.
The question is how to lessen the
distance between them so they can
mutually help and encourage each
other.

the HEN vs.. the PuLlET

We have often heard the query,
us there any money in keeping
hens?" or, again, heard someone
remark that They don't believe
there is any money in keeping hens
any more, at the present high prices
of grain, etc. - and of course there
must be some reason for this belief
SAYS a writer in the American Poul-
try Advocate.
The particular reason may be
any one of a dozen; but it seems to
me that one OF the principal reasons
why many people do not make
money at poultry raising is the fact
that they persist in keeping old hens
that are past their usefulness. 1t
is no uncommon sight to see hens
anywhere from one to five years Of
age in the majority Of fiocks kept
by the average farmer or small
poultryman.
1t is generally conceded that a
hens best year for laying is her
pullet year, and after that she lays
fewer and fewer eggs each year. 1t
may thus be easily seen that if one
is looking for his profit from eggs,
that the pullet is the one to be re-

Three new weekly newspapers
have been established in Western
Washington during the past week.
The Coal Digger has been called
into life at Wilkinson, with Arthur
Jensen as editor. J. c. Johnson
and P. S. Robinson are responsible
for the founding of the Chronicle at
Arlington. The third is due to the
enterprise of young woman, Miss
Mabel Dufford, who has selected
Durvall, a new town in Cherry Val
ley, as the scene of her Iabors. Her
paper is called The Citizen. The
founding of a paper always helps to
put the town where it is published
on the map. Hence Wilkeson,
Arlington and Duvall are making
sure progress towards recognition.

Boost to raise her. Besides this, tn
/; cockerels may be disposed of at a
profit when at broiler age or KEEP
until fall and some of them disposed
of for breeding purposes, as there
is always demand for pure blood
fowls for this purpose.
On the other hand, ii the pullet
is not sold at the close of her first
laying year but is kept another year,
it will be nearly four months from
the time she stops laying to moult,
until she begins laying again, and
most of the time is the very season
when eggs are bringing their highest
price of the whole year. When she
begins laying again it will take her
at least two months laying to pay
for the feed she has eaten during
those two months and the four
months previous she was not laying
but was merely a boarder. It is
thus seen that in a hens second
year OF laying she is paying profit
only aboutsix months out of twelve.
To my mind, this is the principal
reason why so many people do not
make money at poultry keeping and
give it up in disgust after time. as
being improbable. They raise a
nice flock of chickens and figure on
keeping the pullets for laying pur.
poses just so long as they can b.
made to lay an egg. They say,
What is the use of my raising a
lot of chickens each year when l
have all the hens I need now?" or
else they raise just a few in order to
keep the flock of a certain number
year after year. And that is one of
the main reasons why so many peo-
pie find trouble in realizing a profit
from their hens. They don't care
to 60 to the trouble of raising chick
ems every year because it is so much
work. 10 be sure it is work to raise
chickens. but that is the way money
is made in the chicken business.
Many Of the up-to-date and most
successful poultrymen of today fol-
low out this plan of selling of all
hens at the close of their first laying
year, with the exception of those
needed to breed from the next year.
With chickens Matched in the
spring, it usually follows out that
the pullets will begin to lay at about
the time that the old hens stop lay
ing in order to moult. With the
sale of the old hens will come your
pay for the raising of your pullets
and small profit besides. You are
thus turning your money every year,
and this in itself is one of the se-
crets of success in any business.
The merchant tries to dispose of his
stock on hand as soon as possible
in order to again invest the money
realized by the sale, and thus make
another profit. It is the same way
in the poultry business. On hens
kept for several years, you do not
get back the money which you paid
out to feed them while growing into
maturity, until the hens are sold.
You thus have your money tied up
all time, instead of vesting it
each year, and you yourself can see
that this is poor business. Think
it over and see for yourself if the
old hens that are kept in the flock
year after year are Tot the real rea-
son why so many people find it i'm
possible to realize profit in the
keeping Of poultry.
If you are not making as much
profit as you should with your hens
try this plan for couple of years
