or medium sized fowl, which are
very active, quick to mature, pro-
ducers of white shelled eggs, usually
MONSTERS or at best poor sitters.
The Leghorn is the best representa-
tive of its class. On account of it's
early maturity it is not uncommon
for them to commence laying at five
months. As mentioned above this
breed is very active and does not
fatten as readily under ordinary
conditions as the larger and less
active breeds.
The largest fowls are represented
in the meat class, which include
the Brahmas, Cochins, and Lang
shans. They are especially suited
for the production of large roosters,
being easily confined by low fences
and are persistent sitters. They
are not suited to the northwest,
however, on account of the low cost
of birds that are shipped in here
from the corn belt.
The general purpose breeds are of
fair size and are represented by the
Plymouth Rocks. Wyandottes, Or
pington and Rhode Island Reds.
These occupy medium position
between the meat and egg breeds as
to size, egg production and docility.
When you have selected breed
you are not through, for poor repre-
sentatives of the best breed on earth
will be useless unless they have bred
in their blood constitutional vigor.
Pick out strain that is known to
have been bred for great vitality,
even if you have to pay more. 1t
will save many seasons of hard work
and Encouragement and will posi-
bly, mean the difference between
failure and success.
Having selected the breed or
breeds, the next consideration is the
location for the poultry plant. l
strongly advocate being near a mar
ket, i. e. being within driving dis
lance to a nearby town, where you
can sell your produce to the best
advantage. Furthermore, while the
plant is in its infancy, the beginner
may find some profitable employ
ment and devote his evenings and
Sundays to his ranch.
If possible it is best to select az
elevation having a natural drainage
away from the building, for damp
ground means cold ground. If the
house can be built in the lee Of
wind break or a hill, or in the front
Of farm building, so much the better.

The oultryman S Start
J. DON ALEXANDER, in the Northwest Poultry Journal

This the season of the year, when
We hear Of so many, some acqualnt-
ances, others strangers, who are
contemplating starting in the poul-
try business. To these poultry
starters, do address the following:
The safest way for those who are
about to make their first attempt at
poultry raising, is<to start with a
few fowls and learn the business
thoroughly before making large in
Vestments. Mistakes will be made
and many difficult problems will be
presented for solution before success
IN any large measure will be at
tanned. As soon as it is found to
De paying venture, more capital
may be put into the plant, but for
permanent safety, it should be the
profits OF the business, in preference
70 any outside capital.
Another good plan for the be-
gnner, who wishes to learn the art
OF poultry keeping, is to secure work
With some successful poultryman.
A lew months work on a large pract-
zeal plant vii. be found a great help,
as the methods of caring for the
BIRDS, their feeding and the ways
Of marketing can be learned with
out the risk of losing lot of the
oeglnner's hard earned money.
The question is often asked as to
'nat is the best time of the year for
One to begin. When to begin is not
very important. Personally, | pre-
ier the fall, as stock can be pur-
'aased for less then, than at any
o'ner time Of the year. Moreover
us advisable that fowls be moved
" their new quarters before they
Nln to lay. The embryo poultry
,uan can pick out his best winter
ayers and be in good shape for the
cOmlng breeding season.
Is however, if the beginner has had
Hpeflence in poultry keeping, it is
wise 70 purchase eggs, otherwise he
elould begin with fowls and thus
gam some knowledge of caring for
"altry before attempting to raise
chickens.
Inc question that predominates
'uone my inquirers is, "What breed
, y keep" This is my answer:
lave a definite purpose of produc-
.On and keep the breed best suited
nyour needs. For convenience,
ekens may be classified as egg
Ss.eaos, and fancy or ornamental

positively that this greater number OF their

During the course o, the investigation,
when a number OF reforms put in operation

that the Governor might take cosnizance
