SOME GOOD THINGS FROM OUR
EXCHANGES.

The poultry industry has arrived at
a stage of importance in the indus
trial world, where it should be able
to command the attention of the bust
ness interests of the country that
handle and control it's products to a
degree that it may be able to dictate
terms upon which its products shall
be sold and distributed, but up to
the present, by reason of lack of or
ganization and utilization, the poul-
tryman has no protection whatever
from the evils of modern business
methods, that take every advantage
of any weakness found in any line of
production that is unorganized, and
thereby unable to protect itself
against questionable business meth
DDS.
We are continually hearing COM
plants from the shippers of poultry
and its products of the treatment they
receive from commission men and
others who handle poultry products.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-10-15

The poultry business is in it's in
fancy. Devices of many kinds are
still needed. If we could experiment
with devices as we do with feeds the
gain would be more rapid. We are
trying many things out on our farm
and proving some good ones and
others worthless.
The shows are coming on, another
selling time is at hand. Prices will
be good. Eggs will be higher than for
many years-and that means a lot of
people will be going into the business,
and that means a demand for breed
ing stock. Get in line, brother, with
new courage and hit hard. Inland
Poultry journal.
| think it safe to say that from
June to October the hen will lay more
eggs than the pullet. The reason is
that the pullet is getting ready to
mott, and having laid for long peri
cd is ready for rest. She has laid
three months longer than the hen and
is beginning to show the effects of the
drain. The hen can stand this drain
better than the pullet and will lay

them to lay when getting their new

Good care comes to the flock only
when the work is reasonably easy.
The farm flock when small care for
themselves, but large focks cannot be
handled like farm birds, and yet as
long as the farm flock ruus wild the
farm hens will cut the price of eggs
to low price-and this because Of
the number of the f1ocks. 1t is i'm
possible to do scientific breeding and
handle large tiocks, and do it without
killing the worker. When we had
learned the economy of a long house
we encountered the difficulty of con-
taminated yards. Then the advisors
said the long house is failure, give
it up. No, no, why give up good
thing because one difficulty was en-
countered? Why not meet each diff
Guilty and solve it?
What is needed now is the remov-
able runway, the portable yard. We
need the yards that facilitate blowing
and planting. Such yards will be
recommended in connection with the
long house.

If the poultry shippers were organized
in such a manner as to be able to
suggest and dictate who should handle
their product, and under what condi-
tons it should be shipped, be able to
have some say as to correct weights
and measures, it would be a long
stride in an endeavor to protect not
only the poultryman. but the farmer
as we'll.
This can be accomplished, however,
only by local organization first, then
National.

Have Contributed More than Red-

 Members of the Bald-Head Club of America will be gratified to learn that it has been officially settled that bald heads are greater benefactors to the human race than red-heads. A sub scriber sends in the following, from a recent issue of New York paper:
 Defenders of the baldheaded man won victory in debate held last night in the headquarters of the Hebrew Veterans of the War with Spain at Victoria Hall, 641 Lexington avenue. when the momentous question was-dis- cussed as to who contributed more to the prosperity of the United States, the red headed man or the baldheaded man?'
 Maurice Simmons, commander-in. chief of the organization, who opened the discussion, said that red was the color of life, and was the inspiration to greater deeds.
 ''Isadore Freid, who championed the shining dome pointed with prlde to the great captains of industry who have lost their hair. in hundred years,' he said, nature will have evolved race of hairless human beings, showing that nature is on our side.' The argument won."
