Success with poultry Is matter OF
details.
A clean hen house is necessary both
summer and winter.
Fertile eggs cannot be shipped safe
ly unless they have strong shells.
Stacked lime Is a good disinfectant
to scatter around the poultry yards.
Mate about five ducks to one drake,
and thirty can easily be housed in
each pen.
For quick fattening try mash OF
corn meal and skimmilk. Feed 1t warm
three times day.
Success in commercial poultry farm
ing depends upon success in the hatch
Ing and rearing Of the chicks.
No one need hesitate to buy incubat-
ors or breeders because they have not
before used them or saw them used.
The person who raises good stock
need have no fear about prices. First
class fowls always bring good prices,
no matter how great the surplus OF
ordinary stock Is.
1t is a noticeable fact that few i'm
provements have been made in recent
years on the old standard breeds. Con-
sentative raisers and dealers still pre-
fer the old standbys.

Billings rudely.
But the professor was already

Frances and l drifted out to our pa

had said nothing to me, but knew
that the blow might fall any moment.
Only the arrival Of the frump's father

jolly injunction about Frances, l kept
a sort Of parole with him by avoiding

Fowls Should Not Garry Too Much
Fat, but Just Enough to Make
Flesh Tender When Cooked.

An over-fat fowl is almost as OBJ
jectionable as a lean one. To fatten
chickens properly they should be so
fed as to have just enough fat to
make them feshy and to cook well.
The fat should be We'll intermixed

ence how chickens are fed, so long as
the fat is laid Oh in proper quantities
and with right distribution.
The bird should be killed by knife
blade piercing the brain, as this pro-
notes free bleeding. 1t should be
hung up by the feet, head down, and
plucked before it becomes cold. Poul-
try buyers prefer chickens that have
about two inches of feathers adjoin-
ing the head.
After being plucked, the bird
should be placed on shaping board,
the weight on top, to give it a COM
pact appearance. Never allow chick
ems to remain hanging by the legs
after being pluclIed, as it gives them
a thin and leggy appearance.

Presently l pulled myself together,
Jenkins, as he helped me dress, eyed
me in frightened way, his face kind
of pale and greenish. Neither OF us
said a word, but l knew I had his
sympathy, poor fellow-and it helped!
Then, with the parcel in my hand, l
marched slowly down the stairs, for
getting even some instructions |

She was there in the living-room-
she and the trump. And when | saw
her dear face and realized what dis

things whirling around me like a jolly

THE DALLES INDIANS
WIN THIRD PRIZE

The members of Lodge 303, the Eiks
from The Dalles, created a greater
sensation at the parade in Portland
last Thursday than any other aggrega-
ton and captured the third prize for
having the most unique garments and
performing the most novel stunts in
the line of march, The Dalles mem
bers. among whom were a great
number of local Elks, wore flowing
robes on which were represented the
heads Of eIks and carrying out the pur-
pie and white color scheme. Through
out the five miles of line of march the
lmprovised warriors did heap much
dancing and wh0oped until their
throats were almost raw next day.
"On Tuesday evening the cork was
pulled from the bottle of Joy, said j.
Il. Fredrcy, "and all the little fairies
of pleasure came fitting forth to twitch
the corners of. our mouths and pull
the wrinkles of worry from our coun-
tenances. In all my life | never rolled
up so much fun in such a short time as
| did last week. My face is still sore
from smiling and laughter has loosened
the walls of my inner man. Portland
policemen cannot be too highly com
mended. They did everything toward
making the reunion a success and kept
down all forms of ho0dlumism.

SCOUTS LEAVE ON
TWO WEEKS OUTING

At a quarter past five yesterday

y Troop !, with blankets aud other
paraphernalia slung across their backs.
started on their long hike to Lost
Lake. swhere they will spend the next
two weeks camping. Those who have
left for the summer eneampment are
Mark Moe, Rodger Simpson, Paul
Harris, Ray Wickham, Arthur Lofts,
Donald Cochran, Glen Hunt, Newton
Clark, Bayard Stone, Glen Goodall and
Samuel Thompkins, the latter of Cas-
cade Locks. The Scouts were accom-
panied by Rector Edmund 7. Simpson,
of the Episcopal church, Albert l..
Croker and W. W. Schultz, the former
being Scoutmasters of local troops.
Mr.. schultz was interested in the Scout
work in Pennsylvania. where he was a
master Of troop before coming to
Hood River.
The boys camped last night just be-
yond the confluence of the Lake
Branch and the West Fork. They will
reach their destination at the lake to-
day. A wagon was taken aloug to
bear.the provisions aud camping outfit.
Or. f. d. Kanaga will join the
Scouts later and they will be taught
the elements of surgery such as may
become necessary when parties Of the
boys are away in the woods and an ac.
cident happens to one. Many will pay
visits to the Scout camp. Mrs. Simp-

PROF. LAWRENCE
URGES MORE BEES

For the assistance in pollenization.
there should be a hive If bees to every
five acres of orchard in the valley,
says Prof w. H. Lawrence, county
plant pathologist According to the
data of the county assessor, the dis
trict has 1900 acres of orchard.
Therefore we need $500 honeymakers
homes here. Professor Lawrence is
not alone in urging that the eommun-
ity have more bees, most all of the
ranchers realize that the insects will
make perfect polarization possible.
One of the difficulties of maintaining
the hives of this many bees here now,
according to Professor Lawrence, IS
that the valley does not afford enough
pasturage the year around. After the
blossoming season. the bee food and
source of securing money is very scarce.
To remedy this, experiments will have
to be conducted to determine what
plant is successful here. 1t has been
found that buckwheat does not thrive
here.
Prof. Lawrence, while in the Puget
Sound district. worked out the problem
of bee food plants there.

APPLES OF ANGELS
COME VERY HIGH

The apples of the Angels, as they
are termed by the people Of Iowa,
Judging from a letter recently received
by the National Apple Co. from a firm
of fruit merchants there, are noted for
the good prices they demand on the
market. The letter follows:
1T is very likely that we can handle
few cars OF Spitzenburg apples from
Hood River, if the price is low enough
to enable US to do so. Heretofore, we
have never been able to handle these
apples that are grown by the Angels
up at Hood River. because of the ex-
tremely high prices. Our people, who
make their hylngs by the sweat of
their brows, raising corn and hogs in
Iowa and Dakota, as a rule do not feel
like trading a carload of corn for box
or two of Hood River apples and con
sequently, we have never been able to
place them in this territory, but if
your prices are going to be more reas-
enable, then we might do some busi-
ness with you.

POTATO CROP
WILL BE LARGE
BIG ACREAGE PLANTED IN TUBERS

year 10 Hood River valley. The dis
rict has never had such an acreage of
potatoes in all of its history, nor has
any past season ever been more favor
able for better returns from the har-
vest. The tuber paintings over the
district last year were rather light,
owing to the low price received for
them the year before. However, those
who had ''spuds" for sale last year
struck the market right; for a bag of
potatoes was worth just about as much
as a box of apples, and as a result the
potato acreage of this season was
swelled material.
The greater portion of the Hood
River valleys potatoes are grown on
the West Side and in the Upper valley.
Nearly every rancher on the West Side
In the Oak Grove district has a small
tract of potatoes. Some have them
planted IN the new ground Just cleared,
while others have grown them between
the trees. The extraordinarily wet
spring has been the very thing for the
potato grower and the spuds have
reached fine sizes without the expense
and trouble of irrigation.
Most OF those growing potatoes dc
so as a side issue, planting small
tracts for their own use, with the
expectation Of having a few for sale.
A few, however. have planted tht
tubers this year on a large Commercial
basis. Albert Crocker has about 81
acres on the Paradise farm west of tn,
city. Mr.. Croeker, who has beer
associated with Henri de Reding in tn,
fancy apple and produce business dur
! ing the past two years, has found tht
handling of Hood River potatoes
good business and thinks the crop thi
year Will prove successful from tn
standpoint of marketing Other heav,
growers are f. H. Button and J. H
koberg, who grow the spuds in tn
river bottom soil on their places cas-
of town. Mr.. Button shipped severa
carloads of potatoes as far east a
Texas last year, receiving excellen
returns. Indeed, it is thought that
great portion of the local crop thi
year will 90 east. The conditions owe
the east and middle west have nc
been so good for potatoes aud th
prices there are very high.

GROWERS UNION

Wilmer Sieg, manager of the Union
has appointed Sam G. Campbell as in.
spector general of the packing OF
Union apples this fall. Mr.. Campbell
will meet with the board of directors
Saturday. when packing rules will be
made. These will pe distributed to
growers as soon as possible, in order
that they may become thoroughly ac-
quainted with them. MIR. Campbell
will appoint his deputies
Mr.. Sieg, accompanied by number
of directors, met the residents of the
Park grange district Tuesday evening.
Last night he and number of the
members of the local Commercial club
were at parkdale, where a meeting
was held to discuss the problems Of
apple marketing after which smoker
was given by the Upper Valley Pro-
gressive Association.
Mr.. Sieg left this morning for Port
land to interview fruit merchants there
and to get better lineup of the
northwestern crop. He leaves Port
land for an extensive trip of the east.
On his return Mrs. Sieg will accom-
pany him.
With large crew of men at work,
the concrete construction of the new
storage house is progressing rapidly
Il. A. Woodard has the contract for
the erection of the building and for
the installation of the refrigerating

The apple packers Of the valley have
announced that they will establish a
union. This fall, they say. they will
not wcrk at packing on ranches where
proper lo5ging facilities have not been
provided.
A great amount of the Hood River
cherry crop has been shipped to can
neries at The Dales. Some of the To-
cal product, after having reached The
Dalles, has been packed in fancy boxes
and shipped out from there.
