The Faithful Hen

Under the whole wide heavens there
is nothing more uncertain than the
setting hen. Yet many pin their faith
to her and believe that no artificial
means of incubation will ever be
found to produce as good results as
she does; on a small scale Of course.
Mr.. J. II. Davis says in the Petaluma
Weekly Poultry Journal: 81 have
gotten Is chicks out of Is eggs more
than once, but always with hens.
And | have had hens steal their nests
away out under the hedge, or in the
brush, or under the stable, and hatch
every egg they set on. So try as we
may, we can never equal nature or
natures methods. These eggs in
stolen nests, laid by one hen, may
have been three or four weeks &C
cumulating, if the hen laid every
other day. During all this time the
eggs were never turned, which is
against our dogmatical ideas that
eggs for Matching must be turned
every other day."
1t is fact, undoubtedly, that the
old hen, at her best, achieves results
that incubators may perhaps never
attain. And before incubators we're
known our forbears managed to en-
ploy the setting hen on quite large
scale sometimes, but that was before
our modern standard of what con-
stitutes hard work WAS in force. The
setting hen is entirely Indispensable.
What she will do to the setting of
eggs entrusted to her care no man

knowetb. This Introduces mildly
exhilarating element OF chance into
the business and prevents the gambl-
ing spirit from dying out entirely on
the farm, but it proves extremely ex-
asperating at times.
Sometimes Biddy gets other people
more or less involved by her perform
ances. For instance: A customer of
my own writes to tell me how his
faithful old setting hen has brought
off six chicks at the end of "a days
Matching; the balance of the eggs
did not hatch out at all, and therefore
were no good. A chicken raiser of
experience will.appreciaue this clear
down to the ground and confess to
getting a laugh or two out of it my
self, but just see what a dent that
faithful old hen has put in my reputa-
ton as producer of Matching eggs.
And yet | can't rid myself of a pre-
JUDGE in favor of the hens, when
Matching on a small scale, and some
40 of the aggravating old villains are
set at my place every season, on eggs
that are as the apple of our eyes, and
with results varying from zero to 100
per cent.

and were affecting the old hands at
the business Just as badly. And in
the past two weeks l found plenty to
corroborate the opinion which is made
the opening sentence of this article.
One of the largest poultry ranches
north of the California line has had
since the beginning Of the season an
unbroken string of miserable matches
without precedent in its history of
more than dozen years of very profit
able operation. The most expert
operator of incubators that l have
known, who has made speciality of
this branch of the business for many
years has not yet taken off 1.-TWO
thirds hatch" this season. Equally
poor results seem to be had by in
cubators and mammoth hatchers, and
if it were permissible I could fill a
column of the paper with details OF alb
surdly inadequate results achieved by
competent people operating the best
types of machines. 1t must be under
stood however that 1 don't mean to
say that everybody is having such
bad luck. Thank goodness there are
exceptions to what is, fear, a pretty
general rule. One of the funniest of
these exceptions is an absolute green
horn in the business; who had never
lived in the country, or seen an in
cubator until he bought one four
weeks ago and set it with 12O eggs,
from which he Matched out 102 chicks

TALES OF WOE.

1t is unquestionably bad Matching
year in the Puget Sound region. l
have had some experiences myself
that indicated that this was the fact
and the last few weeks have. l am
very sorry to say, brought corrobora-
ton from all sides and in large guam
titles. One swallow does not make
summer and one PERSONS experience
is no certain Indication of the general
drift of affairs. To begin with I
found that my yearling hens were not
inclined to lay as early this season as
a year ago. They seemed to need
more time to get into good laying
condition. And the eggs, when they
did come in fair quantities we're
longer in getting on good Matching
basis. For example; have generally
found that 80 per cent fertility might
reasonably be expected by February
Goth, and sometimes earlier. This
year 1t took longer to reach this result.
And weak germs, which 1 have for
years considered negligible quantity.
showed for the first time as a factor
to be considered. But as there is
probably no business under the sun
so full of unexpected trials and set
backs as that of the poultry breeder
these things occasion no great surprise
tn the man of experience. In fact he
gets to expect the unexpected.
However it occurred to me that If
conditions we're, as a whole, less
favorable than usual it might be well
to say something about it, with the
view of heartening up little the be-
ginner who might think that he him
self alone was entirely responsible for
such troubles as he might be having;
when in fact some of them were due
to conditions he could not control

If it be true, as announced in dis

agreed to assist the |. W. w. in their
fight in San Diego, for free speech
Socialism is taking a backward step,
and one which will injure the cause.
Socialism, as presented by the con-
servative leaders, contains many ar
guments that appeal to thousands.
Law abiding citizens have been will
ing to accept the propaganda as the
honest sentiments of honest men,
who believe that by its adoption the
condition of all might be improved.
But when the party turns from the
pursuit of law and order, and allies
itself with dsturbers and seditionists
of the L. w. w. type, public opinion
will turn against it. There is no pos
sible excuse for the /, w. w. 1t is

Improvement Will Extend From
Smith Corner to Hotel Scott.
Little business aside from routine
affairs occupied the attention of the
city council last night. Current
claims against the city We're ordered
paid and a few minor street improve
ments were authorized. The most
important improvement ordered was
the construction of cement sidewalk
from the Smith corner east to the
Hotel Scott, and from the same cor
ner north to the Kirkpatrick prop
erty.
The council listened to the reading
of several articles from the pens of
municipal engineers on the subject of
oiling macadam streets The opin-
ions expressed in some of these con-
tributions raised doubt in the minds
of the city officers as to the desirable
ity of the use of oil in subduing the
dust nuisance, and it was decided to
send a special committee to Portland
to inspect some oiled streets there
before proceeding with the improve
ment in Dallas. The members of
this committee, Councilmen. Coad.
Fenton and Campbell, will go to Port
land in a few days and make thor
ough investigation and it is certain
that the action of the council will be
guided largely by their report

EXCITEMENT At OIL
WELL GROWS
DRILLING OPERATIONS.
Mass of Sand and Rock Forced Up
ward Into Casing to Height of
295 Feet.

Heavy gas or oil pressure has tenn
porarily delayed drilling operations at
the Whitaker oil prospect east of
Dallas, and the workmen are striving
to clear the we'll of the sand and
rock which have been forced upward
into the casing from the bottom of
the 1100-foot hole.
| Gas in greater or less quantities
has been escaping from the well since
the 50O-foot level was reached, but it
was not until last Friday that the
pressure became sufficiently great to
interfere with the drilling.
Gas Pressure Enormous.
When the drilling gang went to
work Friday morning, they found to
their great establishment that the
pressure from below had forced sand
and rock into the casing to height
of over 100 feet. The baler was at
once brought into use in an effort to
remove the obstruction but so tightly
had the mass of sand and rock been
driven into the pipe that the drill had
to be brought into service in remov-
ing it, Even with the steady opera
ton of the drill, no progress has been
made in clearing the casing. The
sand removed during the day is re-
placed by more at night and the
drillers have been losing rather than
gaining in their efforts to open the.
we'll
At the close of working hours yes
terday afternoon, the drill was within
SO feet of the bottom of the well.
This morning the hole was found to
be filled with sand and rock to a
height of 245 feet-the obstruction
having made the enormous gain of
1876 feet in IL hours.
The prospectors, instead of being
discouraged by the new developments,
are more hopeful and enthusiastic
than ever before, as it now seems GER
tain that either gas or oil, or possi-
bly, both, underlie the Whitaker
hills in paying quantities and that
the next few days will develop the re-
suit for which the company has been
striving so earnestly for the last two
years. 1t is only through fear of
possible explosion that Superintend-
ent Riley and his men are restrained
tions at night in the effort to reach
the treasure which at last seems so
near at hand

will meet every sanitary requirement
4 and remove the constant expense OF
maintenance. 1t is the only kind of
street improvement that is not a
continual burden and annoyance to
the taxpayer.
The Improvement plan recently
adopted by the enterprising town of
Newberg-that of using the macadam
streets as base for the smooth
surface top-dressing-is one worthy
of the fullest investigation by the
people of Dallas. If it shall be found
possible to utilize d well-built rock
/ foundation in the construction of a
hard-surfaced street, here we may find
ourselves able to carry out the desired
improvement at a minimum cost to
the property owners. 1t must be kept
in mind, however, that If this rock
base is to be used, the work must not
be long delayed. The surfacing will
have to be done while the macadam
is in a good state of repair. Newberg
is building her pavement at a cost of
$1.70 a square yard, and it is proba-
BILE that Dallas could do the work for
less amount, as the city already
owns a rock quarry and the machin-
cry by which a considerable portion
of the needed top-dressing is pre-
pared for use.
Let us work for every needed en-
terprise here in the little city we are
striving to upbuild, but let us not for
get to talk paving, and to keep on
talking paving until the glad day
shall come when we shall see the
needed improvement actually under
way There will be kickers against 1t
all towns have them-but once we
pave a few of our principal business
blocks, the property owners them
selves will then relieve the council
and the improvement clubs from
further effort and responsibility by
demanding that the paved district be
extended to include every important
thoroughfare within the limits of the
city. This has been the experience
of every city that has ever paved its
streets, and Dallas will prove no ex-
ception. Human nature is pretty
much the same the world over,
But it is to our Commercial club
that we must look for the creation of
sentiment in favor of an early begin
ming of the work; to the club and to
the city council, whose members we
believe will be only too glad to take
up the Improvement once it is made
known to them it is desired by ma
jority of the property-owners in the
business district. We need more
factories, and more people, and more
let the officers and
members of our Commercial club,
and of our city council, appreciate
and keep fully in mind the fact that
Dallas greatest need for future
growth on this, the 21st day of May, |
