Mr.. D. Tancred,
Kent, Wash.
Dear Sir:
The writer desires to engage In the
poultry business, although he has
only 5000 in cash. He has energy,
Judgment and perseverance. l would
thank you for your advice in getting
started, and what would the general
procedure be? How would you advise
startingY Any advice you may be
pleased to offer will be highly ap-
preciated.
G. A., Portland. Ore.
Answer: The writer cannot see
how anyone can start in the poultry
business on so limited capital, and
would advise this correspondent to
continue at his present line of work
until he has a stake several times the
size of his present one. A capital of
5000 might be advantageously employ
ed in raising poultry as a side line
and in that way securing the ex-

In accordance with our long estab
lished rule we publish this letter from
Mr.. Sharp-as we gladly publish all
communications from our readers
and without commenting on same,
though it almost seems that Mr..
Sharp is DESTROYS Of involving us in
an unnecessary argument. We will
only say that if anyone can make So. 90
as a commercial proposition, we will
gladly publish all the particulars and
chip in for tablet of brass to COM
memorate the notable advance in
poultry raising. And, as a sample OF
the highest grade of expert opinion,
we subjoin the following statement
from an article in the Seattle Post
Intelligencer of April 9th, descriptive
of the big Northern Pacific dairy and
poultry farm at Kent, Wash: 1.-The
farm specializes on White Leghorns
exclusively, Manager Ponssen declar-
ing that White Leghorn broiler is
the last word in a perfect table bird. "
Mr.. Sharp's letter is as follows:
Langshan Farms,
Spokane, Wash, April %, 1913.
Mr.. D. Tancred,
Kent, Wash.
My dear Sir:-In your "Timely
Topics of April 18th issue of The
Ranch, you state that you never
could see much profit in raising
broilers, certainly not, as you never
bred broiler, raised one or fed one,
you have been breeding, raising and
feeding Leghorns for eggs. Then you
advise your readers to take the "Leg-
horns, preferably the white variety,
for the broiler trade"
Only few weeks ago The Ranch
published a letter showing what had
been done in the production Of meat
by the writer, with Langshans, bred
for meat, broilers and roasters.
Now, Mr.. Tancred, l have read
your valued writings too long, and
appreciate too highly the assistance l
have received from you, to allow such
a statement to pass unnoticed. L

Letters From Subscribers

know full we'll you would not attempt
to breed a strain of race horses from
Clydesdale stock, nor strain of draft
horses from Hambletonians. Neither
would you attempt to start a dairy
with herd of Hereford steers, or a
profitable beef ranch with drove of
Jersey calves. You are too intelligent
to do any such thing, and I know it.
So why do you advise anyone to
start broiler plant with an egg breed
of fowls?
Why do you expect to market your
culls and worn out egg machines at
profitable prices, any more than a
dairyman hopes to find a profit in
fattening his surplus, or old worn out
COWS?
They may serve to reduce expenses
somewhat but it is frequently real
saving of feed to bury them. You
study your breed and strain, you
study your market, you try to meet
it's demands by breeding your fowls
for eggs-eggs always more and more
eggs. You have to if you are to sue
coed.
Now why do you expect to find the
best egg producer in the world, also
the best meat producer? You do not
think for one little minute that your
egg machines, as they are bred today
are more profitable as meat fowls than
they would be if they had been bred
500 or 1000 years for that sole purpose.
Again your usual experience shows
that even Leghorns can be marketed
prohtabIy when there are no other
chickens in the market, and you must
be we'll aware that no butcher will
take Leghorns at any price when he
can secure even barnyard scrubs.
Let buyer go into bunch of fat
cattle, see how quickly he turns
down the Jerseys, and then take him
he looks first for Leghorns-that he
can not use.
Egg machines and butter machines
are at the bottom of the list as meat
producers, and they must remain
there forever, if they are to remain at
the top in their respective lines.
If one is to succeed in any under
taking-beef, butter, eggs or boiler,
he must first study his breed, then
perhaps his strain, but breed is first
and most important, and on that
selection will depend his future sue
cess or failure; for broilers, a breed
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-05-01

should point to 1000 years or more of
careful breeding for neat production.
A bird that has been successful that
long may be successful for a while
longer, the requirement is a certain
weight in the shortest possible time.
Then comes the question of market.
r. 2. Ellis is probably the most sue
cessful marketman in the American
egg trade; be aims to market a GER
tain definite number of eggs each
week, summer or winter, in season
and out-and the broiler grower to
succeed must learn to market, and no
egg farmer can afford to take his time
for this work-it means ruin to both
lines of work if he does.
Next comes the question of feed;
and broiler growers have just as i'm
portant questions here as egg farmers
have, and all we claim is that an
equal amount of intelligence; the
same hard work., and the same capital
invested, the net returns are greater
the opportunities are broader, than
in any line of work so badly over
crowded as the egg trade has shown
itself to be.
During the. past year we conducted
small correspondence class among
some of our customers, because this
subject is not touched by any poultry
journal extant, and without single
exception the members of the class
all report better profits than were pos
sible in the egg trade. 1t is our rule
to kill as a Gull every female at two
years old that has not earned at least
S.. 90 net profit above cost of feed
during the previous year. If any egg
farmer did that last year he is out of
business now for lack of birds.
You might just try that on your
own flock Mr. Tancred. Kill as culls
all birds that earned less than $50
net last year and let us know how
many you have left.
Utility values are the only values
that count, but the Leghorns do not
possess all the virtues by any means.
If there should be further inquiries
along this line | should be pleased to
answer them for you, and l do not
care whether l ever sell another egg
at any price or bird till it's feathers
are removed. My butcher is my best
customer, and he pays just as much
for first prize exhibition stock as he
does for any other-and will take just
as many of them.

variety six weeks old consumed more

perience needed to conduct the bust
ness successfully when sufficient
capital has been obtained to warrant
engaging in the business as an actual
means Of livelihood. One suggestion
that occurs to me is to divide the
$500 into two about equal parts and
invest one in chicks and the other in
a brooder house and laying house.

COMMERCIAL CLUB
Meeting Last Evening at Which
Various Matters Received
Attention

A fairly we'll attended meeting OF
the commercial club was held last
evening and a number of matters OF
public interest were taken up and
discussed.
1t was suggested that Madison
should have a meat inspection ordin-
ance similar to other cities OF this class
in the state, and after discussion OF
the proposition Messrs. R~othschild,
Beardsley and Burnett were appointed
a committee to call on the city com
mission and urge the passage of snch
an ordinance.
A matter which has been discussed
more or less the past several years
again came up and was given atten-
ton by members present. This is the
| purchase of Park Lake for city park
purposes. Park Lake comprises two
| blocks of land. bounded by Ninth and
Tenth streets and Egan and Blanche
avenues. TIE property was originally
set aside and planted to trees by
| Chas. B. Kennedy with a view OF
transferring it to the city for a pub
lie park. But FIR various reasons the
transfer was never made. Recently
Mr.. Kennedy sold the property to
Glatz Bros. 1t is an ideal spot for a
public park and SHOULD be owned by
the city. This sentiment seemed to
prevail a. the meeting last evening to
the extent that a committee consisting
of Messrs. Mease, May and Rothschild
was appointed to confer with the city
commission with u view OF having
the commission enter into negotia-
tions with Messrs. Glstz fol- the pur-
chase of the property
As the lagoon in Park Lake is al
ideal place for skating il properly
flooded. Il. H, Holdridge was appoint
ed to request the city commission t.
food the lagoon from the city water
mains in order that young people may
have a convenient place to enjoy the
pleasures of skating. Mr.. Holdridgs
attended to the business promptly and
reports today that the commission has
ordered the lagoon flooded.
Hans Urdahl. appointed at a previ'
Gus meeting to correspond with the
South Dakota congressional delegation
in regard to public building in thi'
city for which appropriation has beer
made, reported that the hest informa
Ition he had obtained was to the effect
that work on the building would mo-
be commenced for two or three years.
A city hospital was also a subjec
of discussion. and Messis. Westaby
ISchueller and Tuttle were appointed
a committee to take the matter up ant
see what could be done along this line
u The Luce electric railway received
attention, and the information wa
placed before the club that Brooking
: had raised SEQ, 900 of the $40, 900 re
quired to secure the enterprise t
that city. Also that officials of tn
4. proposed road would soon visit Brook
ings,
A suggestion was made that the clu
engage in civic discussions at inter
walls, and Messrs. May, Wagner an
Trimmer were appointed IA committe
to propore a program on civic debat
and name a date for a meeting to dis
cuss civic matters.

train if convenient, but last evening
the train was some distance from the
depot in the yards when he arrived at
the depot, and the mail was placed in
the baggage room which is the Gus
tomary place for it.
The mail sack was found about IL
O'Clock this forenoon by Harry Wilson
under an old binder near the Jones
warehouse in West Third street. The
sack had been cut open and the mail
removed and scattered about, the let
ters not having been tom open in
any number. The mail was gathered
together and with the pouch returned
