The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1911-01-01

Do the best you can to pick out your
best layers to breed from-Yes, l know
that the whole bunch of wise ones,
almost without exception, tell you to
breed from the IoaferS of the flock,
because the heavy layers are worn out
by their winters work, etc; but they
know mighty little about it, eggs be-
ing one of the scarcest articles on
their places. | raise chickens that lay
we'll and the healthiest bunch in this
neck of woods too, and L know that
the supreme test of vigor in a hen is
her laying capacity. Inow have quite
a number of hens that made pullet
year records of 200 eggs or better,
and some roosters that can lick the
average dog, and l didn't get them
by breeding from the hens that didn't
lay in the winter, believe me.
I prefer to use medium or average
size hens as breeders, as they are the
best layers and foragers. If the breed
used has a weight given 1T in the
Standard follow the Standard weight
closely SO far as the hens are concern
ed and go very little above it in the
selection of male. If in doubt what
! rooster to use, pick the grittiest. A
breeding male should never be knock
kneed but should stand with his legs
we'll apart and should have good thick
shanks; the hens should not be of mas
culine type but should have slender
legs and necks and good lengths of
body, not delicate, understand but
alert, spunky, with we'll developed
abdomen and appetite to correspond;
but thick necked, heavy shanked hens
should be passed by when mating
breeding pens.

From this lot we got good hatch
and bad good luck in rearing the
chicks, but the pullets were poor
layers. To sum up: Of five different
strains we found but one worth con-
sidering as laying birds. A the time
we thought we were the victims of
monumental ill luck. now know
that our stumbling on the one good
strain of fowls that so far outlayed
all the rest was piece of luck almost
like the finding of Koh-i-noor.
Tested with the trap nests the follow
ing winter, they showed their great
superiority over the other pullets and
the following spring we we're ready,
with fairly good Wycotf cock bird
and really marvellous laying pullet
trapped from the eastern bunch, to
breed them in line.

of Matching eggs and it would not be
good business to sell such birds for a
price much less than the fowls earn
in9s in one season.
Knowing little or nothing of the
merit of the various breeders we did
a lot of "rubbering'' throughout the
Sound country, placing orders with
two men whose stock appeared active
and healthy and placing two orders
with eastern breeders at high figure.
The stock from one of the local men
who is now an easterner himself
turned out to be of the very finest.
But our experience with the eggs
from the east was simply the old, old
story and the less said about it.
But our good fortune in securing eggs
from one fine and heavy laying strain
was great and more than Offset our
bad luck with the others. The eastern
eggs Matched so poorly that we hastily
acquired an incubator lot from an
other local man and tried again.

TIMELY TOPICS.

Nothing could be more agreeable
and timely just now than a good egg
yield and L believe that nothing can
contribute more to that desired end
than dry, warm quarters for the
fowls. And no single detail is more
important than that of dry litter on
the floor of the pens and plenty OF it.
AS l stated in reply to correspondent
some time ago, find that it pays
me to pay SLIGO per ton for oat
straw for that purpose and use it
literally. Ii lived in the oat belt,
where could get it cheaply l would
spread it on the floors to a depth of
II to Is inches and renew it frequent
ly. West of the mountains where
much rain falls it is a necessity, if
the fowls are to be comfortab BILE. And
east of the mountains the fowls
should not be allowed to run out on
the frozen ground even when it is free
from snow; they must be kept con-
fined If they are to lay and lots of
litter to work over, ia search of theil
grain, all day long, is a positive
necessity. The man who cannot
purchase oat straw cheapIy can fill a
loft with maple leaves in very short
time in the fall, and they are pretty
good substitute for the oat straw,
though not as durable.
One day last spring wrote an article
for this department entitled "The
Poultryman and the Parcels POST
and the managing editor said: "Say,
look here this isn't an article; it's

would be the first result attained by

is where we get it between the eyes,

and meatless bone gratefully, go
under the table with it and growI
contentedly. Well. he has made a
few mistakes in the past two years,
and this is but another one.
This parcels post service is the most
important matter before the public
today; or rather, not before it, for
mark how skillfully it is kept out of
sight and from discussion by the
people, while all manner OF bunco
propositions are faxed up and trotted
out as issues of Importance. Don't

A. r. L., Everett, Wash, asks for
a full description Of the room brooder
and it's method of operating; even
asks who discovered it and who uses
it with success.
Answering his last question first, L
guess | will have to admit that so faI
as the Northwest is concerned L dis
covered it myself. Two years ago L
visited Petaluma, California, and
found it in successful operation there.
Returning to this part Of the country,
was unable to make single poultry
man believe me when l described it.
They simply "hooted" at the idea,
said it was impossible and that l was
stringing them or was crazy.
Finally | published a lengthy ac-
count of it in The Ranch of Nov 1st,
1909, and several Of the wise ones who
would not believe a word OF the story
then orally related, fell for it at once
as soon as they saw it in print and, it
gives me plea sure to say, they have
great success with the method. The
subject has been thoroughly exploited
bv The Ranch in several issues and
there is now no space available for a
complete description of it. l would
suggest that you write to Il. W..
Hunter, Petaluma, Ca, who will be
glad to give you full particulars.

ALOHA OE" TO
Go over WORLD
Sheffield Choir Will Be Fur
niShed With More Than
Two Hundred Copies.

aloha De" will be sung by the
great Sheffield choir from Honolulu
through the Antipodes, across Africa
and into London, according to plans
made by the Hawaii Promotion Cont
mittee.
The committee. according to de-
cision reached yesterday will supply
each member of the great Sheffield
choir of more than 200 persons with n
cory of Hawaii's best-known song.
The copies will be furnished the choir
when the organization steps aboard
the steamer at Vancouver, bound for
Honolulu and Australia, so that when
the big bunch of singers arrive here,
they should know the song.
Secretary Wood explained TO tho
committee yesterday afternoon that
he hoped the song would be sung
throughout the rest of the choir's itin-
erary, and thinks II will easily be-
come q feature.
b. Won Damn, member OF the conf
mittee. suggested that copies of this
song should be bought by the whole
sale and distributed as souvenirs on
the coast and elsewhere on the main
land. 1t Is not unlikely that this will
be done, as the song can be procured
at very low rate and the committee
members think that no household
should be without copy.
